"Elle Macpherson appeared to joke about Howard Stern&amp;#039;s Jewish heritage during a radio interview on Tuesday (March 13). The Fashion Star mentor made the comments while appearing on The Howard Stern Show after revealing that she keeps a nude photograph of herself hanging over her bed.   When Stern asked if Macpherson&amp;#039;s children ever get &amp;quot;upset&amp;quot; by the nude photo, the model replied: &amp;quot;No\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 I just think you&amp;#039;re being absolutely Jewish.&amp;quot; Stern appeared confused by the remark and asked: &amp;quot;Why is that Jewish? I&amp;#039;ve had this discussion with people who aren&amp;#039;t Jewish.&amp;quot; Macpherson answered that Stern was being &amp;quot;overprotective&amp;quot; like a &amp;quot;nagging mother&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;You sound like a nagging mother, &amp;#039;Eleanor, should you have that picture in your room?&amp;#039; My children are very well-balanced,&amp;quot; she added. Listen to Elle Macpherson&amp;#039;s comments below (starts at 8:15):      Stern did not appear offended and changed the subject to reveal that he was once &amp;quot;traumatised&amp;quot; by seeing his mother naked. &amp;quot;Yeah, I can imagine if she looks like you,&amp;quot; she quipped, adding: &amp;quot;Oh sorry! That just slipped out.&amp;quot; Stern answered in good humor by saying that after Macpherson referenced his Judaism and insulted his appearance, he was &amp;quot;ready to break up&amp;quot; with her. Macpherson later responded to a Twitter follower&amp;#039;s criticism of her remarks by tweeting: &amp;quot;[Howard and I] were having fun together and I love Howard.&amp;quot; It was reported this week that Macpherson was recently dumped by boyfriend Jeff Soffer for a younger model. &amp;gt; Fashion Star mentor John Varvatos: Elle Macpherson is enduring beauty "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
