Elle Macpherson has dropped plans to file a lawsuit against German beauty Heidi Klum who called herself "The Body" in a television commercial.

"The Body" was trademark nickname of Australian supermodel for decades, since it was used to describe her in a Time magazine cover story in 1986.

However, Elle Macpherson decided not to pursue her case after being inspired by a meeting with Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.

 

Elle, 42, was so moved by the Dalai Lama's teachings, she's decided to let the whole spat go.

"A few people have made me stop in my tracks and the Dalai Lama would be one of them. It's no big deal for me. She can have it," says Elle Macpherson, whose flawless sleek body (after two kids!) can make younger models blush with shame.
