Brooke Hanson: Dances, Swims Like Fish, Also Drinks Like One

In the ten thousand or so seasons of Australia’s Dancing With The Stars, one thing you’ll notice is that the celebrity contestants are always at pains to convey just how much the contest means to them, and that they don’t just see it as a publicity stunt or profile-raising exercise, and that they really, truly care about getting their bogo pogo just so. Well, it seems no one cares more than recently ousted Brooke Hanson, who was apparently so distraught following being booted from the Popular Light Entertainment Program that she and her dancing partner John Paul Collins hit the tiles – and the bar – and drank away their sorrows to the extent that Hanson missed her next day’s publicity rounds.

“We promised each other that when we got kicked off we’d have a big night, but she knew she had to do media when I dropped her off in the cab,” Collins said.

Seven also said Hanson was aware of her post-show obligations.

“Every contestant who departs Dancing with the Stars has a series of interviews the next day as part of their commitment to the show and as a chance to thank their fans and chosen charity,” a spokeswoman said last night.

“We have been unable to reach Brooke all day.”

Umm ahh! Now now, Brooke, it’s just a bit of lighthearted fun – it’s not like this is the ballroom dancing Olympics or anything! Evidently Seven have still not been able to contact Hanson, as she’s notably absent from any of today’s entertainment news. Also, a brief nod is due to news.com.au and the Tele for their zinger of a headline, “Brooke Hanson busy dancing at the bars.” Bam!
