Supermodel Elle Macpherson and property tycoon John Hitchcox are officially an item following a long courtship. The Australian beauty and Hitchcox - who is currently separated from his wife - moved quickly to quash rumours they were romantically involved last month, but they have now become comfortable enough with their love to go public. Hitchcox says, “It started as a friendship and then we had a long courtship but now we are an item.
“We are taking it slowly and trying to be normal.
“We were originally introduced by a mutual friend years ago but it is only in the last months we have become close.”
Elle just split from French financier Arpad Busson, who fathered her two sons - eight-year-old Flynn and two-year-old Cy.

The only thing worse than seeing your fashion double is when your rival wears it better! Us Weekly’s fashion expert Katrina Szish told “Extra” what happens when star styles collide.
“Someone will always look better,” Katrina said. Now Us Weekly is letting you be the judge! The first battle of the babes is between Jennifer Lopez and Victoria’s Secret angel, Gisele Bundchen, who both graced the red carpet in a J LO Sweetface brand dress. Katrina revealed that the dress is not necessarily the focal point. “We know that Gisele and J LO have completely opposite body types, but what really made these looks different were the hair styles,” she explained.
According to Us Weekly’s readers, it was Giselle who tipped the scale at 60 percent, rocking the dress and hair a bit better than Ms. Lopez. In round two, it’s songbird Mariah Carey vs. the versatile Uma Thurman. Both women were spotted sporting the same white brocade Louis Vuitton coat with a Peter Pan collar, but they each wore it in a very different way. Seventy-one percent of fans agreed that Uma’s casual interpretation trumped Mariah’s buttoned up and belted version.
In the final battle, teen queen Lindsay Lohan faces off with model Karolina Kurkova, who both looked dazzling in the same strapless white stunner. But it was Karolina who had a long leg up on Lindsay. Seventy-four percent picked the supermodel’s sleek style over Lindsay’s. Although they are all stunners in these gorgeous confections, there had to be an answer to who wore it best! And thanks to Us Weekly magazine, you too can play fashion police to the stars!

While supermodel Gisele Bundchen has been photographed for an ad campaign on Apple’s line of computers MAC (Macintosh), in the USA, she also endorsed her new campaign to protect the Amazon’s Xingu River from deforestation and pollution. The campaign by the Socioenvironmental Institute to protect the endangered headwaters and the rain forest along the Xingu River in the southern Amazon is called “Y Ikatu Xingu,” which means “clean and good Xingu water,” in the native Kamaiura language. Gisele will “tell the world that the Amazon’s waters are in danger,” the Kaxi Amazon News Agency said Monday. The Xingu River extends about 1,700 miles through the southern Amazon, including Brazil’s first Indian reservation, the 6.92 million-acre Xingu National Park. Ranchers and loggers have encroached on the park and threaten to pollute the river, which has tributaries in 35 cities and towns, the agency said.
