Watch Jennifer Hawkins And A Bunch Of Hot Models? We’d Rather Jump Through A Wall

9:55AM Clem Bastow | Remember Jules Lund’s effusive praise for Hole In The Wall (”It’s absurd, it’s silly, it’s mindless, therefore I’m perfect to host it”)? The idea of watching people leaping through person-shaped cut-outs in moving walls (you know, like that idiotic tampon commercial with the big molecular things floating in the street and the girls doing kung fu because they got their periods) doesn’t exactly sound like a ratings winner, but that looks to be exactly what it is: Nine’s half-hour sneak peek of the happily and proudly ridiculous Hole In The Wall, hosted by Jules Lund, scored a healthy 1.55 million national viewers on Wednesday night.

Kyle Sandilands Surprised To Find Jennifer Hawkins Not Keen To Be Touched By His Finger

9:39AM Clem Bastow | Remember “the frigid game”? That stupid primary school gag where a boy (usually) would drag his finger down a girl’s body until she could take no more, upon which said boy would run around hooting, “Frigid! Frigid!” No, you’re right, most human adults left that one behind in about Grade Four – but not our Kyle Sandilands, who tried to spring the game on 2Day FM guest Jennifer Hawkins. Here’s the transcript: Jennifer: I was pretty frigid at school, I didn’t kiss a guy till Year Nine. Jackie: Do you want to play it? Jennifer: I don’t know! Jackie: A guy will start at your forehead with his finger and will go down your nose and down, down, down till you pull out when you want to. Jennifer: I can’t do that! I would be frigid! Kyle: Everyone always says you can pull out when you want to but when you’ve started, you’ve started. Jackie: Is this harassment, are we harassing our guest? Jennifer: You’re sexually harassing me! Kyle: We didn’t really explain it to Jackie, it took her a while to realise she was being violated on the radio. It doesn’t mean you aren’t a decent person, Jackie’s just a bit more slutty than you. Wow, sexually harassing the guests and your co-host? It’s the Kyle Sandilands way! Just think, this is the sort of hi-jinks that “King Kyle” bride-to-be Tamara Jaber gets to look forward to at the end of every day. FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE, UNTIL DEATH DO THEY PART. More »

Cue The ‘Get Into Jen’s Pants’ Gags Now, Hawkins Is Trying ‘Swimwear Designer’ On For Size

12:02PM Clem Bastow | Jennifer Hawkins is evidently not content to simply travel the world with The Great Outdoors and walk the catwalks for Myer stores, now she is adding “swimwear designer” to her resume, having pitched – successfully – to Myer to launch her own line of bikinis and other beachwear bits and pieces. After all, if there’s one thing Hawkins is well versed in, its the swimwear section. Marking her first foray into fashion design, Hawkins will star in her own parade when she models her “Cozi” creations at Myer’s Sydney City store on August 28. It will be the culmination of more than six months of secretive, behind-the-scenes work for Hawkins and the Myer production team and the fulfillment of the former Miss Universe’s dream. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph, Hawkins said she was thrilled to finally be able to talk about her brainchild which was borne out of increasing frustration at trying to find the perfect bikini and an insatiable urge to tinker with designs currently on the market. “I’m in a bikini a lot – I’m working in one,” she said. Well, if Jennifer Hawkins can’t find the perfect bikini, the rest of us are stuffed, aren’t we! As for “Cozi” itself, only time will tell if it will turn out to be the next MK&A The Row/Sean John/Love Kylie, or if it will be the next Dannii For Kmart/House Of Dereon/Richard Simmons Expandable Waist Workout Gear.

“I Am Not A Tattooed Drug Dealer” – Jake Wall Clarifies The Situation For Idiots

11:33AM Jess McGuire | Stupidly handsome (seriously, he makes me swoon and I should know better) celebrity boyfriend Jake Wall seems to have been bitten by the film bug after appearing in the flick Cedar Boys. The former chippie and model will soon be seen as a hard-core crim after filming scenes in Maitland jail for the upcoming Cedar Boys flick last week. A gritty low-budget thriller set in the western suburbs, the film is set to turn Wall’s public profile – as Hawkins’s other half – on its head. “I really enjoyed playing that type of character, something totally opposite me,” Wall told The Daily Telegraph. You mean you’re not a hard-core crim, Jake? Good lord. This makes your work on Cedar Boys sound dangerously close to acting. In a refreshing display of honesty, Jake reveals he is well aware his dabbling in the world of showbiz would not have been possible were it not for the fact he is in a relationship with Jennifer Hawkins, the former Miss Universe who, due to Australia’s adorable ability to give even our most feminine of icons blokey nicknames, is occasionally referred to as Hawko. “I don’t deny that a few of the opportunities that I’ve had wouldn’t have been there if I wasn’t with Jennifer, but hopefully I have made the most of those opportunities. “But it’s definitely not hard being her boyfriend. She’s supportive of whatever I do. And I’m supportive of what she’s doing, so it’s all good.” Oh, go and make beautiful babies already, you two. You’re making me sick. More »

We Are Quite Certain That, In All Her Achievements, Julia Gillard Is Most Proud Of This One

10:27AM Clem Bastow | Oh, those wacky types over at the land of blokes’ mags, what will they think of next? In this case, the rib-ticklingly, gob-smackingly hilarious move of Ralph bringing our beloved ranga Deputy Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, in at equal 2nd place as “Sexiest Woman” in their annual awards evening, which we’re sure was as classy as the mag what birthed it. Clearly there are a few Labor voters in the Ralph office, with Julia Gillard named runner-up in the sexiest woman category in the lads mag’s annual awards last night. The deputy PM and singer Rihanna tied for silver behind Myer model Jennifer Hawkins in the category. It’s clearly a gag because, in the case of reader-voted countdowns, like FHM’s annual 100 Sexiest list, the joke votes (Sandra Sully, Pauline Hanson, Irene from Home & Away) will usually loiter around the non-prize-winning end of the poll – thus, this is clearly an ironic jab at Gillard, because there’s nothing male media outlets like to do more when it comes to female politicians than to have a go at their personal appearance. What a cack, eh lads? More »

Outlook For Great Outdoors Team Not Looking So Great, Actually

11:20AM Clem Bastow | The perma-sunny demeanour of Seven’s Great Outdoors team appears to be a front, with inner rumblings making the gossip pages as host (and, let’s face it, pretty much the best thing they’ve got going for them) Shelley Craft leaves the show, and a whole lot of worry in her wake. With only Jennifer Hawkins, and possibly Tom Williams, safe within an actual contract with the network, co-hosts Andrew Daddo and Ernie Dingo are apparently sweating. Sources claimed management have been avoiding the calls of Dingo and Daddo, anxious over the axings – a suggestion vehemently denied by the station’s spokeswoman. “Contract negotiations are private things, but that is absolutely not true,” the publicist said. It wouldn’t be the first time Seven has left its talent in the dark; as that story goes on to note, last year Laura Csortan and Di Smith caught a case of the Minnie Drivers when they realised Seven had neglected to tell them to show up to a publicity call. Rumours that Kerry Stokes once dumped a girl by sending her an invite to his wedding to someone else could not be confirmed at time of press. More »

Jennifer Hawkins Uses The Wrong Dunny At The Cup; Not Spotted At The Urinals, Mind

10:58AM Clem Bastow | Poor old Jennifer Hawkins just can’t get anything right at the moment. First, her Derby Day outfit of a long white dress and oversized tropical flower tucked behind her ear was decried by the Vogue Forums as “just not classic racewear”, and now it seems she incurred the wrath of not one but two VIP marquees at yesterday’s Melbourne Cup. Why? She couldn’t be bothered waiting in the queue for the toilets in the Myer marquee (of which she was, being the face of the stores, clearly the guest of honour) and scarpered to the less-crowded Emirates facilities. While there was nothing naughty about her toilet trips, Hawko left Emirates’ organisers seeing red when her Myer minders refused their request for a photo. “We just said to them, ‘Look, she can’t keep coming in here unless she’s going to pose for photos,’ ” one Emirates gatekeeper told Confidential. Honestly, Jennifer. Couldn’t you just hold it in and enjoy the idle chit chat in the Myer queues? Or, better yet, she could’ve just joined the queues for the real Flemington dunnies like one half of Defamer Australia did on Derby Day, and she could have enjoyed spirited conversation about fake tan, chicken fillets, “Wheerraaee yooouuugghhtt youuurr hat?” and discussing how “hot” Brodie Holland is.

The Battle Of The Spokesmodels Doesn’t Really Continue

9:58AM Clem Bastow | First Megan Gale opened a can of whupass on A Current Affair after they suggested she was in some sort of supermodel fight to the death with Jennifer Hawkins (Gale reps David Jones, Hawkins their competitor, Myer), now J-Hawk is having her say. And, not surprisingly from a “story” whipped up by ACA, she’s putting paid to the rumours, too. Who woulda thunk it, really? Hawkins hasn’t seen Gale’s ACA interview, but she has read what Gale said about it afterwards and isn’t concerned. “I think Megan is a great girl,” she says. “I have met her a few times now. I wouldn’t say that we are buddy-buddy friends but I like her and respect her career. “The rivalry is more between David Jones and Myer than us.” So, in other words, this whole thing has been a completely tiresome tale of NOTHING at all. As much as we think Jennifer Hawkins is very pretty and probably very nice, really, this “feud” has been appropriately bland, when you consider her personality or lack thereof. We’d like to see her hire a heavy to break Gale’s knees or something, but really, she’s probably busy saying things like “I have a puppy! The sunshine is nice!” and smiling while she helps grandmothers cross the street. More »
