June 27, 2007 - Two thirds of Americans are overweight, but model Rachel Hunter is not one of them. At 5-foot-10 and 147 pounds, Rod Stewart's ex-wife seems like an unusual choice to be a Slim-Fast celebrity spokesperson. And on Monday she told NEWSWEEK that she is happy with her current weight and has not tried the diet shake. And yet, she is the face of Slim-Fast's new campaign—starting this week—called "Find Your Slim." Press materials urge consumers to log onto iVillage.com to join Hunter and enter a 10-week "Find Your Slim" before-and-after photo-and-essay contest. Press materials say Hunter "will incorporate Slim-Fast into her life as an approach to reaching her personal weight-loss goal and will encourage consumers to do the same by setting a simple, doable weight-loss goal of between 10 and 20 pounds."

Model Rachel Hunter has mysteriously dropped divorce proceedings against aging rocker Rod Stewart. The 32-year-old New Zealand beauty asked a Los Angeles judge to dismiss the case - only three days after filing divorce papers. A battle over the financial settlement had appeared inevitable, with Stewart said to be worth an estimated $100 million, but a single-page document - headed with Hunter's BD390548 case number - confirmed the divorce was no longer going ahead. Her lawyer has declined to explain why she had such an apparently dramatic change of heart. However, speculation centered on the couple having come to an agreement on money, which would avoid them an expensive legal process. But some insiders suspect Hunter has heard rumors that Stewart plans to marry girlfriend Penny Lancaster - and is determined to make things difficult for him.
