Elle Macpherson and Liz Hurley fight for UK ‘Project Runway’ gig

» More Media > Reality TV

Elle Macpherson and Elizabeth Hurley are both pretty girls. What’s prettier? Seeing them ensconced in a catfight, both fighting to play host of a British version of Project Runway, Heidi Klum‘s success-with-excess fashion designer reality show.

Macpherson was the producers’ first choice, but Liz Hurley got wind of it and won’t let go. She’s cold calling the producers to sell herself, even sending in a video reel to help the negotiations. She says she has celebrity fashion contacts like Donatella Versace. But, uh, memo to Liz: Elle Macpherson is a supermodel too. And lest we forget, she was on Friends once!
