With her Channel 7 contract up for renewal later this year, Jennifer Hawkins clearly saw the Logies as an chance to flog her perky talents to rival Channel 9.

Hawko has been off air at Seven since the beginning of the year when her two shows, The Great Outdoors and Make Me A Supermodel, were warehoused.

As a result, Hawko made only a brief appearance at the Channel 7 afterparty at Melbourne's Hilton Hotel before moving on to Nine's party at Crown Casino, where she remained until 4am yesterday.

There were claims that in an attempt to sabotage Nine's red-carpet coverage, Seven delayed Hawkins's arrival, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Seven yesterday denied this saying a minder ran through traffic to collect her.

"Jen, like many celebrities, was trapped in limousine gridlock and spent 40 minutes sitting in a car trying to get to the arrivals," a Seven source said.

Hawkins, herself, is said to have become precious after learning her gown's designer was not exclusively dressing her.

"Her representative went off when he discovered Nicola Finetti gowns would also be worn by (red carpet hosts) Lyndsay Rodriguez and Shelley Craft," a Nine source said.

Myer and the Hawkins camp finally permitted the women to wear Finetti, but Hawkins refused to be interviewed by the women on the red carpet, nominating Jules Lund to the task instead. (Credit: News.com.au)
