Kylie Minogue has always been a determined woman but she does realize that something she wants may just be out of her grasp. The singer is already 42-years old and her body has gone through lots of stress since battling breast cancer in 2005. Her cancer has been in remission for almost 5 years but she still continues to take medication to keep it at bay. These are all factors that make her feel that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant. Kylie said “I’d love to have babies, but, it’s very hard. Perhaps if you are resolutely sure that is not the path you want to go down, that’s ok. But if there is an element of doubt, you can’t help but question it. It’s not fun.”
The pregnant Dannii Minogue has just signed a $650,000 deal to return to X Factor for two months after she gives birth in July. The beloved reality TV talent show judge will appear in the “judges houses” segment in September along with fellow judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh and then return for the live shows in London. Dannii still plans on taking some time off though saying “After baby’s born, I’ll absolutely switch off. You have to. I just want to have the baby, shut the door, and take some time off work. That’s it.” While Dannii’s taking care of the baby during the auditions round, Mel B and two other celebrities will take her place.
But it’s not her baby she’ll be spoiling, what mother in her right mind would do that? However, when it comes to her sister, Danny Minogue’s baby, well there Kylie Minogue is going to be all of the aunt that she can be… and she hopes her new album will sell well so that she doesn’t have to cut back on anything. This is what Kylie Minogue said on the matter: “I haven’t bought anything yet but trust me, I will be. My album better sell because I will be getting so much stuff. I am so excited.” Nothing like having a reason to get all trigger-happy about shopping is there? Just wait until Kylie Minogue hits all of those wonderful baby stores… her sister is probably going to hate her forever.
A diva like Kylie Minogue doesn’t need anything special for her to be amazing – not even music. After experiencing some technical difficulties that put a damper on her concert in Chicago last week, the audience began begging for some disco. And wouldn’t you know it? The crowd got it. The petite singer belted out an impromptu a capella performance of ‘Your Disco Needs You’ to which the crowd happily joined in on. Most singers would have left the stage stomping because something didn’t go right on the show but Kylie is a true performer for staying there and even giving a surprise performance for everyone.
Pop Princess Kylie Minogue was glowing as she left Buckingham Palace in London this morning. The international superstar proudly showed off her OBE medal to the assembled photographers waiting for her. The Australian singer was one of the lucky few to receive an Order of the British Empire from Prince Charles. She’s obviously proud of it. I wonder what it’s for though. Can someone tell me? I’m not really familiar with all the royal awards. I’m not sure what qualifies you to get an OBE. I don’t even know what qualifies you to be a knight or dame. The only royalty I know is music royalty anyway. I could care less for Prince Charles.
Kylie Minogue is a Geisha again. For her new tour, Kylie has gone back to an image she first used a decade ago.
Jean Paul Gaultier has designed 7 costumes for her on the upcoming KylieX2008 tour that starts in Paris on May 6. For the tour, Kylie has a new band, for the first time a brass section, 14 dancers and 4 acrobats.
There will be one surprise cover in the set. We’ll have to wait until the Paris show to find out that will be.
This tour will visit some new territory for Kylie. For the first time, she will perform in Greece, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Luxembourg, Russia, Latvia and Spain. The European leg of the tour ends in London on August 4.
The Australian tour is expected to happen in November.
Kylie Minogue says she may never settle down and have a family.
The singer, who beat breast cancer, does dream about a permanent relationship and a family.
But she admits: “On other days, I think perhaps this is not right for me. I never had the feeling of a conventional marriage. It comes down to how much love you have in you – and if you are ready to give that love.”
Kylie, 40 next month, denies she is seeing old flame Olivier Martinez, 40.
You would be looking forward to the New Year too if you were Kylie Minogue. She has learned she’ll pick up an Order of the British Empire (OBE) medal after landing a place on Queen Elizabeth II’s New Year Honours List.The 39-year-old cancer survivor is loved worldwide, and although native Australian she has been in her adopted Britain for more than 20 years.
Personally I can’t think of anyone better to receive the honour. She is a fab artist; keeping up with the times with class and style – though perhaps in a few dodgy outfits. And after her courageous battle with breast cancer she has come out the other side with a smile on her face and a determination to return to her career. A big ‘hurrah!’ for Kylie Minogue.
