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.
