Schiffer banned from filming ad
Posted Sat, 07 Aug 2004
Supermodel Claudia Schiffer has been banned from filming a television commercial at Germany's highest mountain peak because authorities said it would defame a national landmark.
Schiffer was to appear in an a commercial for a mail-order company on Thursday alongside giant inflatable catalogues perched atop the Alpine summit Zugspitze.
But a spokesman for the Bavarian state forestry ministry, Josef Miller, said the blonde beauty, who is now pregnant with her second child, would have to find a new backdrop "to protect a national landmark".
Schiffer and her co-star Guenther Jauch, host of the German version of âWho Wants to Be a Millionaireâ, will now shoot the commercial on the patio of a funicular station lower down the mountain.
