The Heart Wants What It Wants
1:51AM Richard | A kiddie update gets a release date, lawsuits are filed, quirky indies are cast with cult fave actors, Michael from The Wire joins the war effort, and people are watching Gary Unmarried. More »Mimi Macpherson Faces Bankruptcy!
9:37AM Jess McGuire | I can’t work out what’s worse for Mimi Macpherson – that she’s in deep financial trouble, or that her star has dipped so low, the Herald Sun feels it necessary to use her sister’s name in the headline of the article where her money woes are listed for public consumption.
Mimi Macpherson, sister of Elle, may be known for a raunchy blackmarket video, but she could lose her shirt permanently this week if she is declared bankrupt. The property entrepreneur and award-winning businesswoman is on the verge of bankruptcy after failing to pay a six-figure design bill relating to one of her company’s property developments.

Elle Macpherson Claims To Have Phenomenal Breast-Assessing Abilities
1:11PM Jess McGuire | Big ups to Elle Macpherson, who has taken it upon herself to heap praise upon.. erm, herself… regarding her uncanny gift when it comes to judging a woman’s bra size.
The supermodel – who has her own lingerie range Elle Macpherson Intimates – insists she has become an expert in guessing the bust measurements of ladies.
She said: “I can instantly tell a woman’s bra size just by looking at her.”
But you’d be a simpleton just to label Elle Macpherson “The Tit Whisperer” and leave it at that. She’s also very good at working out ways to earn delicious life-affirming moolah!

Elle And Bryan Sitting In The Tree…
4:04PM Clem Bastow | We weren’t aware that Elle MacPherson and Bryan Adams had dated in the first place (unless by “dated” you mean “Bryan took a photo of her”); last we heard, she was playing Mrs Robinson to Vito Schnabel, a 21-year-old art curator. In any case, evidently they did, and now they’re back on again.
Ain’t love grand?
Earlier in the evening, the Aussie fashionista was described as “goggle-eyed” as she watched Adams perform.
Concert insiders claimed Macpherson was singing along to new songs never heard before by devoted fans (raising an eyebrow she’s enjoyed private previews).
Ever the host, Adams seemed to pull out all stops to entertain the sexy single, with the duet enjoying dinner at London’s chic Wolseley restaurant before adjourning to his mansion in ritzy Sloane Square.
We wonder if Bryan treated Elle to a special performance of (Defamer Australia Editor’s favourite song) The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me (Is You)? More »
The Only Thing That Looks Good On Elle Isn’t Bryan Adams, Evidently
9:55AM Clem Bastow | Our initial title for this piece was “Elle dumps Bryan Adams? Who knew they were even going out!” but we decided not to give our already shaky celeb gossip egos the battering.
Anyway, it turns out The Body has been dating Hans Moleman Canadia’s favourite moderate-rocker-turned-celebrity-photographer, and has decided she’s had enough of his womanising ways after he was found to be wining and dining Bond girls.
Womanising ways? Who knew Bryan Adams etc, etc…
Macpherson’s friends were shocked when they saw the 48-year-old musician out with Casino Royale star Caterino Murino in London shortly before Christmas.
The supermodel promptly dumped Adams and axed their plans to spend Christmas holidaying in Sydney with her two sons, Flynn, nine, and Cy, four.
“Bryan tried to play down everything, but confirmed his night out,” a friend of Macpherson’s told the News of the World.
“Elle hit the roof and dumped him.”
Even more hilariously surprising is the news that Adams has apparently been trying to help Amy Winehouse kick her drugs and booze habits while holidaying in the Caribbean.
Taking arty soft-focus nudie photos, chasing tail, acting as a detox sponsor, composing melodically pleasing mid-’90s stadium ballads – is there anything Bryan Adams can’t do? More »
Elle Sez Older Women Can Feel Sexy And Charismatic; No Shit, Sez Majority Of Female Population Who Aren’t 16-Year-Old Models
1:36PM Clem Bastow | In another of those stories that make us say “well, duh” while masking a pang of sadness that such things even need to be reiterated in the press, Elle Macpherson – a ripe old dame at the age of 43; pictured walking, miraculously, without her frame – has told Harper’s Bazaar that she still feels sexy as she gets older.
We need to be told this because you could be forgiven for thinking that women died at about 38, such is the paucity of “older” females in the fashion industry public eye.
“Only as I get older do I feel really beautiful, sexy and charismatic, enigmatic and interesting and all those things one likes to feel about oneself,” Elle tells the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
As if to prove the point, in the fashion bible’s photo shoot Elle has cloned Mrs Robinson, the movie role made famous by Anne Bancroft in The Graduate.
So, in other words, photo editors of Harper’s, an “older” woman can still be sexy, provided a) she gets around in high-class lingerie, b) she looks like Elle and c) that young men still find her attractive.
Honestly, is it too much to ask that women of 40+ aren’t spoken of with the same hushed reverence that you might use to discuss a person who has managed to live past 100? More »
Even Supermodels Get The Fugs
3:56PM Busty St Clair | Maybe we’re bitter, but we love seeing rich and beautiful people fuck-up their fashion choices. This particular type of Schadenfreude is one of the reasons why the Fug ladies are so popular Stateside. But it gives us even greater pleasure when an Aussie blips on their radar, which brings us to this. What the fuck is that on Elle MacPherson’s arm? It looks like some kind of oil spill. And the top of that dress looks a bit like a garbage bag. But, dear reader, it gets oh-so-much worse after the jump. More »Mimi MacPherson Spends Some Time With “The Kids”
6:51PM Jess McGuire | Whale-watching amateur video star Mimi MacPherson has revealed to Sydney Confidential that she spent her Saturday night chaperoning a school disco, busting out impressive dancefloor choreography with a bunch of six year olds.
Macpherson is used to working with animals but ticked the children box on Saturday – going back to school with her It Takes Two partner, opera singer David Hobson.
The TV duo played chaperone at a disco at the Camberwell South Primary School, where Hobson’s two children attend.
“Oh yes, my big Saturday night out,” Macpherson laughed. “I definitely got some moves from the six-year-olds.”
We initially misread that as “I definitely made some moves on the six-year-olds” and we were pretty freaked out but time and medication soon revealed our idiocy.
As Phil Ceberano and Antonia Kidman would attest, no article about celebrity siblings is complete without a gratuitous mention of the more famous one in the family.
Macpherson also revealed her famous sister Elle was a big fan.
“I told her not to watch it – it’s embarrassing, but she’s very good with calls and texts saying ‘You beauty’ and ‘Go, girl’. Perhaps I should get her sons (Flynn and Cy) to steal her phone and vote for me.”
Elle sends texts saying stuff like “You beauty”? That’s more Australian than we’ve heard her sound in… well, ever.
