Elle Macpherson
Gossip

In a manner of speaking, of course.

Anyone who's followed Mischa Barton news lately knows hers has been anything but beautiful. You know, trying to claim her own life, being on suicide watch and all.

But despite Barton's health concerns, she is back and filming The Beautiful Life, a CW pilot debuting this fall, as planned. We wish Mischa the best of food health.

Here she is with co-star Elle McPherson ...

Mischa Barton: Lucid, returning to TV soon.

The show, revolving around a group of models in New York City, also stars Corbin Bleu of High School Musical fame, former supermodel McPherson and two newcomers, Sara Paxton and Ashley Madekwe. It looks like a pretty entertaining series, actually.

There weren't many surprise winners at last night's Academy Awards. Until we heard the news about Vito Schnabel, that is.

Vito is the 21-year old son of director Julian Schnabel, who was nominated for his work behind the camera on The Diving Bell and Butterfly. He responded last night to a report that his son was actually dating , 44-year old super model Elle Macpherson.

"They're hanging out. It's not like he's smuggling heroin across the border! It's not a big deal," Julian said.

It is to celebrity gossip blogs!

When Macpherson was asked if she's dating Schnabel, she told Access Hollywood:

"No, I am not. Sorry. I never talk about my personal life but in this particular case, because he is nearly underage, I have to deny it because there is nothing else to do except deny it."

Hmmm, didn't Milo Ventimiglia say the same thing about Hayden Panettiere a few months ago? And we all know how that turned out!

Evidently, everything Bryan Adams does, he does for... Elle MacPherson.

Great Britain's Daily Mail reports the pair enjoyed a passionate kiss at a private party in Adams' London home Tuesday after the launch of his new photo exhibition.

"They were all over each other, flirting outrageously and they couldn't keep their hands or eyes off each other," a source said, causing our minds to wonder about the true meaning behind the singer's hit, "Summer of 69."

Bryan Adams is seeing Elle Macpherson nude?!? Makes us wish we were a washed up rocker.

Earlier this week, Adams launched an exhibition of new photographic portraits, called Modern Muses, in The Hospital in Covent Garden.

Following the event, he threw a private Mexican-themed party at his Chelsea home, which Elle and many others attended. As the super model was leaving, the couple didn't hide its feelings.

"They enjoyed a passionate snog at his front door when they thought nobody was looking," the source said, using the funny British word for "kiss."

Looks like Marco Jaric has competition in the Luckiest Boyfriend in the World department.

Wait, whose body is fortunate enough to be in the center of a controversy involving two of the world's most gorgeous super models?

No one's (although consider this an application for the position from The Gossip).

Instead, Heidi Klum and Elle Macpherson are battling over the simple use of the moniker, "The Body." Klum has bestowed it upon herself in a new ad campaign for Victoria's Secret â€" but Macpherson is takining exception.

Could a cat fight soon break out? Seriously, please, could it?!?

A rep for the 42-year-old Macpherson said Elle was "flabbergasted" at Heidi's chutzpah, especially because Elle was ordained "The Body" by none other than Time magazine (on its cover) and numerous other publications, including Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Sports Illustrated.

Oddly, Jesse Ventura had no beef with the proclamation of either beauty.

In a TV spot for a bra also called "The Body," however, Klum purrs, "They call me The Body â€" and now I have a bra named after me."

The 33-year-old, 5-foot-9, stacked, breathtaking mother of two (and soon to be three) clearly isn't backing down from the title. Still, Macpherson has claimed a business stake in the nickname, starting her own skin care line called "Elle Macpherson The Body," along with a lingerie brand and a fitness video called "The Body Workout."

We say they're both The Bodies! Although Nick Lachey isn't too far behind.
