...COPPERFIELD V. PARIS MATCH...
Here's a new trick DAVID COPPERFIELD's learning: if you can't make something disappear, sue the people who created it. Paris Match says Copperfield's long engagement to CLAUDIA SCHIFFER is an illusion--something millions of males would dearly love to believe.

Her Australian agent asked holiday rates: $30,000 for one hour. That's Witness's story. Ken Smith, proprietor of Schiffer's Australian agency, dismisses it as a "pie-in-the-sky rumor." So no interview--but Melbourne businessman Jean Mazloun says he struck a $280,000 deal with Schiffer's New York...
