MIRROR, mirror on the wall, who doesn’t look at her reflection any more? Apparently, Elle Macpherson. The supermodel and notorious control freak (especially when it comes to having her picture taken) is determined not to become obsessed with her looks. “I don’t look in the mirror – I should probably pay more attention to my appearance,” she told Tatler magazine.

The long-suffering wife of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has criticised her ‘shameless’ husband again in a very public attack.
Veronica Lario was furious that he attended the birthday party of an 18-year-old girl and creepily called himself her ‘little daddy teacher’.
A furious Veronica Lario also criticised the perma-tanned leader for his plan to make models and TV stars MEPs.
Berlusconi had been the surprise guest of honour at the 18th birthday party of Noemi Letizia, daughter of a Naples business friend.
She stormed: ‘That really surprised me because he has never come to the 18th birthday parties of any of our (three) children despite being invited.’
Today blonde Noemi was interviewed by several Italian newspapers and said: ‘It was a lovely surprise to see the man I call papi (daddy) at my party. I call him papi but of course he is second to my father. He gave me a lovely necklace as a present.’
Speaking in Warsaw today Berlusconi, defended his actions.
‘The lady (Veronica) has believed what the papers written, I’m sorry.’
A clearly rattled Berlusconi added: ‘My children love me with all their soul and I believe I am the most loved of parents.
Then speaking of the 18th birthday party he said: ‘I dropped by, I just wanted to raise a glass, I stayed because everyone wanted to be photographed with me and because I had to go to a meeting in Naples.
‘This is another really absurd exaggeration which has nothing to do with reality.’
However Corriere Della Sera, one of Italy’s leading newspapers, asked what the PM was doing ‘in a luxury villa at a teenager’s party, on the Naples ring road, late at night and which is best avoided’.
On the 18-year-old’s bedside table was prominently displayed a signed photograph of Berlusconi as well as a book in which he had written a dedication to her saying: ‘To my little Noemi, my little graphic artist, your little daddy teacher.’
Lario, 52, lashed out in an email sent an email to Italy’s national news agency ANSA.
She said the MEP ideas was ‘shameless rubbish” and was done simply ‘in the name of power.’

Veronica saw red after Berlusconi revealed that for June’s European elections he wanted ‘youthful new faces’ as candidates and he named four leggy TV stars and models as candidates.
The four – who have no political experience – are soap actress Camilla Ferranti, 30, TV star Eleonora Gaggiolo, 29, ex-Big Brother contestant Angela Sozio, 31, and former Miss Italy candidate Barbera Matera, 28.
It is the second time that Veronica has made a public statement on the antic of her gaffe-prone politician husband.
Two years ago she demanded – and got a public apology – after he told one actress that he would wed her if he wasn’t already married and then told another he would run away with her.
In her email Veronica wrote: ‘Somone wrote that all this is to sustain the enjoyment of the Emperor. I agree with this what has emerged is shameful trash, all in the name of power.
‘I want it to be made clear that my children and I are victims of this situation and do not agree with it, we have to put up with it and suffer with it.
‘Fortunately for some time now we have had women in politics and business – in the past we had (Margaret) Thatcher and now we have (Angela) Merkel that is to say women can be involved in politics.
‘Women today are and can be beautiful and the fact that there are beautiful women in politics is not a merit or a demerit.’
Her attack on her husband came just hours after a think tank called Farefutoro within his own party also called for an end to ‘TV showgirls’ being put forward as candidates imply because of their good looks.
Veronica is a former actress who Berlusconi romanced after seeing her perform topless in a play and after they got married she gave up acting and is known for her opposing her husband’s political views.
It was rumoured for some time but always denied that she was having an affair with the left wing mayor of Venice Massimo Cacciari.
Berlusconi is well known for his gaffes which have seen him offend the Queen after he shouted out during a G20 photocall and a German MEP after he compared him to a concentration camp guard.
