What is the world coming to? Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova are dating while Elle Macpherson gets her groove thang on with a 21 year old boy named Vito.

Rather than be shocked or appalled by Elle's decision to date a man that's literally half her age I'm actually kind of jealous. She's a smoking hot cougar, and if, at age 44, she's still got it, who are we to judge? As long as it's legal, they might as well go for it!

Vito's dad doesn't care either. He said, "They're hanging out. It's not like he's smuggling heroin across the border! It's not a big deal." But, even though the blog world is all up in a frenzy with news of Elle and Vito canoodling, she has denied it when asked if they were dating saying, "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."

As for Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova, I'm not really sure what's going on there. I would have thought the rumors of these two hooking up were totally false -- but there are pictures to prove it! It's obvious that Sean has a thing for gorgeous super models (I mean, really, who doesn't?). He was linked to both Naomi Campbell and Helena Christensen in the last year alone! Sean must have some kind of super power. Dictators and insanely hot women alike are drawn to him -- lucky guy!

I can't believe that we haven't blogged about this already here on Styledash. It's not that we think the dating/sex lives of supermodels are all that blog-worthy, but I am having a very hard time believing Elle MacPherson when she says that she has "been single and celibate for two years." Elle MacPherson hasn't been able to land a date for two years?!?! Yeah, right.

According to British Esquire magazine, the 43-year-old beauty claims she "just [doesn't] get men hitting on me, but I'm a hopeless flirt. I'll go up to a guy and say, 'I think you are so beautiful'. But it doesn't work." Of course, Elle does go on to say that she thinks men are intimdated by her looks.

You think? Boo hoo, Elle. We feel really bad for you.

Supermodel catfight: Who is The Body?

Never has post-divorce friendship looked more attractive.

Elle Macpherson, the supermodel known as "The Body" (despite what Heidi Klum would have you think), is gracing the pages of Elle the magazine for the first time in nearly a decade. After Elle and her husband photographer Gilles Bensimo, split in 1996, the all-American beauty refused to pose for her ex- or the magazine for which he primarily worked.

However, the two fashion-world connoisseurs have found a way to work together again, and the result is gorgeously displayed in a 12-page spread. "When we were shooting, we didn't need to speak," said Macpherson. "Gilles would hold his hand up in a certain way, and I would know what he meant. I remembered the language, and so did he."

Elle's issue featuring Elle will hit stands on Tuesday, Novemeber, 7, 2006.

At the launch of Victoria's Secret's latest creation -- The Body Bra -- supermodel Heidi Klum claimed that "The Body" was her nickname, and that the bra was named after her. But when Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson got wind of what Klum said, an unprecedented supermodel cat fight -- not over a man, or a cover, or an agent -- but over a nickname, was set into motion.

Yes, you read that correctly: a nickname.
(And not a very good nickname at that.)

Elle claims that she has been known as The Body for going on 20 years now. She even has the press clippings to prove it -- articles from respected magazines like Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated. But Klum says that she is "The Body", and she also has the media clippings to prove it. Victoria's Secret is wisely trying to stay out of it.

Forgive me for discussing the pink elephant that is in the room right now, but isn't it a little sad that these two women are fighting over a stupid nickname? If it were "Klum Boom!" or "Elle Ma Belle", I might be able to understand it.

But "The Body"? Come on! That's the worst nickname ever -- Elle should be relieved.
