DANCING With The Stars presenter Sonia Kruger is in hot water after making derogatory comments about a “sweat shop of illegal immigrants” slaving away on her wardrobe for the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Kruger, 43, made the comments during the celebrity reality show last Sunday after co-host Daniel MacPherson asked about the bevy of outfits the star would require for her four day stint covering the racing carnival for Channel 7.

“Lets just say there is a sweat shop full of illegal immigrants working on them right now,” Kruger said before referring to the show’s Malaysian born musical director Chong Lim.

“How is the family Chong? Alright?”

Now taking orders for NYE & Christmas frocks, so email ‘em in.

Yes we can.

Do not spend money with these people.

Do not leave your mac in their care. They won’t repair it, they will keep it for 6 weeks and then return it to you worse than it was before. For extra kicks they will throw away your serial number sticker - ensuring you’ll have lots of fun with Apple if your hard disk dies at any point in the future.

Ass clowns.

The airlines have been canceling flights because of the snow and ice. I’m marginally concerned that I won’t make my connecting flight in L.A. The guy at the check-in desk told me to expect delays.

(Insert coffee related grumble here)

No bike riding today. :(

On the plus side, it’s snowing! (I’ve never seen snow before)

Awesome.

In room 10 at SXSW. The guy sitting in front of me just leaned sideways, raised his left butt cheek a few inches off the chair and let out an extremely vigorous and loud fart.

Being in a room full of geeks is often inspiring but sometimes a little dangerous.

Edit: 2 minutes later. He just did it again. God bless America.

Re-Edit: 3rd time. Joy. I just let out a very loud “ahem” and left to find another seat. I don’t think he got it.
