I didn’t take off my underwear at Elton John’s bash, says Heidi Klum

Supermodel Heidi Klum has insisted that she didn't take off her underwear publicly during Elton John's AIDS Foundation Oscar viewing party, and only pretended to give them to Jay Leno.

The Project Runway model was seen wriggling out of her G-string before pretending to drop it in a bag for The Tonight  Show correspondent Ross Mathews.

But sources said that Klum kept her underwear on, and producers planted the red thong inside the bag.

"I was just goofing around with Ross. I was the face of Victoria's Secret - I would never give my underwear away," the New York Post quoted her as saying.
