CHANNEL 9 is trying to lure TV's hottest property, former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins, away from rival Channel 7.
The Great Outdoors reporter's three-year contract with Seven expires in early October, leaving Nine open to aggressively pursue the small-screen golden girl.
Seven has begun preliminary talks with Hawkins' manager Sean Anderson about re-signing the star - who is unquestionably one of the biggest names at the network.
But Anderson has revealed Nine is also chasing the bankable glamour queen.
"Yes, we are in negotiations with Channel 7 for renewal," Anderson said.
"Yes, Nine has approached me regarding Jennifer. I have not met with Nine yet."
Nine is being tight-lipped about its pursuit, but when asked recently if the network would be interested in adding Hawkins to its dwindling stable of ageing stars, a senior Nine source replied: "Of course."
Hawkins' appeal is no secret - the former Newcastle cheerleader has turned herself into the multi-million dollar girl since winning the Miss Universe crown and landing lucrative contracts with Myer, Covergirl and Loveable.
