There's nothing more delicious than a model/journalist (the rarer subgenre of the model/actress, model/musician, model/fashion designer, or my personal favourite, the MAW - model/actress/whatever), so I was thrilled to see Jennifer Hawkins had been given a guest's desk at the Daily Telegraph to write an Bronte-esque missive about her date with Chris "Mr Big" Noth.

Here's what Australia's latest poet laureate has to say:

Before the party started I got to chat with him about the movie, his visit to Sydney and travelling the world.

He'd heard I was going to Paris on Saturday, for the Dior fashion shows, and he suggested a few restaurants to go to.

He'd been there filming scenes for Sex And The City and knew all the right places to eat.

He tried to change my mind about eating escargot (snails).

I've tried them and know they're a delicacy, but as I told him, I just didn't like them.

Mmm... dark. "I just didn't like them" - you can imagine thunder crashing and dark, ominous clouds rolling in over the moors of, er, Bondi Beach, can't you?

And just when you think you can't take any more, she brings it all home with this stunning closing couplet:

He seems really free-spirited and told me he wished he hadn't been so jet-lagged the last time he was in Australia for the Logies.

Still, watching him meet-and-greet everyone last night I'm pretty sure he'll make the most of his time in this city.

"In this city"! Geddit? It sounds a bit like "Sex And The City"!

Can we sort out a column for J-Hawk now that Bec Hewitt has flown the 'My Pregnancy/Marriage/Baby/Drug/Lawnmowing/Three-Piece Lounge Suite Hell' coop? See to it, there's a good man.
