KYLIE ENDS AN AMAZING YEAR WITH AN O.B.E. AND DUET WITH SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY!
31.12.2007
Kylie has every reason to have a smile on her face as she ends the year with an OBE for "services to music", and a request from Sir Paul McCartney to duet with him on Hootenanny on New Year's Eve on BBC TV!
And, if that wasn't enough, her constantly expanding KylieX2008 tour is selling out as soon as the extra dates are being announced. The latest addition to the tour is two dates in Russia.
Kylie said of her inclusion on the New Year's Honours list: "I am almost as surprised as I am honoured to be awarded an OBE by her Majesty the Queen. I feel deeply touched to be acknowledged by the U.K., my adopted home, in this way. This last year I felt so much love and support from everyone as I took greater steps back into the public domain and it is with absolute gratitude and joy that I say farewell to 2007 and look forward to what the New Year will bring."
Kylie.com would like to take this opportunity to wish all our visitors a very happy 2008!

Kylie Minogue von Queen geehrt
Verdienstorden
30.12.2007
Für ihre Verdienste an der Musik wird Kylie Minogue von der englischen Königin Elizabeth II. geehrt. Die australische Popsängerin wird als Offizier in den "Order of the British Empire" aufgenommen.
Hoch das Bein: Minogue begeisterte das Publikum nicht nur mit ihrem SongDas geht aus der am Samstag veröffentlichten Neujahrs-Ehrenliste der Queen hervor. Sie sei "zutiefst berührt", dass sie von ihrer "Wahlheimat" auf diese Art und Weise geehrt werde, ließ die 39-jährige Musikerin, die vor zwei Jahren an Brustkrebs litt, mitteilen. "Ich bin fast so überrascht wie geehrt, dass ich von Ihrer Majestät der Königin den Orden bekomme."
Minogue hatte die britische Musikszene in den 80er-Jahren mit "I Should Be So Lucky" erobert und hat seitdem 60 Millionen Platten weltweit verkauft. Im kommenden Jahr geht sie auf Europatournee.
Ehrungen an Prominente und verdiente Bürger
Auf der traditionellen Neujahrs-Ehrungsliste der Queen stehen in diesem Jahr 972 Bürger: Schauspieler, Musiker, Geschäftsleute, Sportler und Helden des Alltags wie Busfahrer oder Lehrer gehören zu den Geehrten. Zu den weiteren ausgezeichneten Persönlichkeiten zählen heuer Schauspieler Ian McKellen ("Herr der Ringe") und Jethro-Tull-Frontmann Ian Anderson.
Der OBE wurde zuvor unter anderem an Fußballer David Beckham, Harry-Potter-Autorin Joanne K. Rowling und Literaturnobelpreisträgerin Doris Lessing verliehen. Zu den wenigen konkreten Vorteilen des Ordens gehört, dass man damit das Recht hat, in der Londoner St. Paul´s-Kathedrale zu heiraten oder dort sein Kind taufen zu lassen.

Queen honours our Kylie

30.12.2007
AUSTRALIA'S favourite pop princess, Kylie Minogue, has been awarded an OBE from the Queen.
Survivors... Michael Parkinson, now a knight, and Kylie Minogue, who has received an OBE, on his hit former talk show. Photo: APThe 39-year-old singer, who is spending Christmas holidays in Melbourne with her family, said she was "deeply touched" to be honoured for her services to music by the country she calls her adopted home.
Another star with strong Australian links, chat show host Michael Parkinson, was knighted for services to broadcasting.
Speaking in Sydney, the cricket tragic - who visits every year to see his family and take in a Test match, Sir Michael said his knighthood was a "wonderful surprise".
He said his grandson asked him if he would now receive a suit of armour.
Minogue thanked her British fans for their love and support during her recent recovery from breast cancer.
"I am almost as surprised as I am honoured to be awarded an OBE by Her Majesty The Queen," she said. "I feel deeply touched to be acknowledged by the UK, my adopted home, in this way.
"This last year I have felt so much love and support from everyone as I took greater steps back into the public domain, and it is with absolute gratitude and joy that I say farewell to 2007 and look forward to what the new year will bring."
Melbourne-born Minogue's OBE seals her reputation as one of pop's most enduring icons. It comes nearly 20 years after I Should Be So Lucky became the singer's first British No.1.
The Australian soap Neighbours made her an international star and millions watched her on-screen wedding to co-star and real-life lover, Jason Donovan. Minogue quit the show in 1988 to focus on her music career.
The singer had a string of hits with producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman and sold 14million copies of her debut album, Kylie.
After a quiet period, she regained her chart status in 2000, thanks in part to a tiny pair of gold hotpants. Minogue showed off her derriere in the video for Spinning Around. The song became her fifth British No.1.
She shocked fans in 2005 by announcing she had been diagnosed with breast cancer midway through her Showgirl tour. After a year of treatment, she resumed the tour with a series of triumphant shows.
She has made a return to the limelight with the release of a new album, X.
Sir Michael's honour comes just weeks after he retired from his show with a special featuring some of his favourite guests - Sir Michael Caine, David Beckham, Sir David Attenborough, Billy Connolly, Dame Judi Dench and Dame Edna Everage.
The 72-year-old, who launched his chat show more than 30 years ago, said: "I feel very chuffed... I'm greatly honoured - it's such a wonderful surprise. I never expected to be knighted - I thought there was more chance of me turning into a Martian, really."
He said his wife Mary was looking forward to going back to Buckingham Palace eight years after he was awarded a CBE.
The couple are relaxing in Australia, where they go every year to see some of their grandchildren.
At its peak, Parkinson's show drew up to 12million viewers and a guest list ranging from filmmaker Orson Welles to boxer Muhammad Ali.

The Diamond year of Kylie
By Louise Cadell
27.12.2007
Kylie Minogue can officially
dub 2007 the year of triumph.What a difference a year makes. Fresh from the shadows of cancer, pop star Kylie Minogue can officially dub this past year the year of triumph. As Britney became the proverbial car wreck that no one could stop staring at and Madonna struggled through a tricky and depressingly showy adoption, Kylie soldiered on. With the new year fast approaching, let's take a moment to reminisce and linger on all things Kylie-related in 2007.
While the whole of 2007 can be described as one giant comeback tour, the beginning of the year for Kylie started with an official one. And not just a comeback tour, the comeback tour; a re-worked, funner and lighter version of the Showgirl tour Minogue started before she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. On top of this, Ms Minogue managed to record a new album, launch a perfume and stay adorable in the eyes of her fans and the public alike.
Not everything went smoothly in Kylie-land though and in February the pint-sized pin-up broke up with her French actor boyfriend Oliver 'Oli' Martinez, amid speculation of infidelity on Martinez's behalf (an accusation that only elevated the diminutive pop star higher in the gracious celebrity stakes).
As the original pop princess, Kylie Minogue is used to comebacks and image re-styling and it is exactly this break-up, combined with her recovery from cancer, that prompted a re-working of the old fashioned kind. Not afraid of a challenge, Minogue washed that man right out of her pixie-cropped hair and led the revolution - in hair styles that is. The more her hair grew, the more her hairstyles changed, reflecting not just a woman who relished in a trip to the hairdressers, but a woman whose hair literally defined the term change.
When we didn't see her papped in fabulous dresses on the red carpet, sitting playfully on Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld's lap, cozying up to that funny little Scissor Sisters singer or dutifully attending post-cancer check-ups in France, Minogue was as busy as a bee.
In August Kylie went down the all-too-familiar celebrity route of releasing her own perfume. True to style, it is a fun and flirty Chypre-Floriental fragrance, aptly named Darling. Late November saw the release of Minogue's new album X and Kylie also managed to fit in filming for the Doctor Who Christmas Special, making her very much the darling to adoring fans.
Though she's arguably been through more highs and lows than Britney Spears has fast-food drive-throughs, nothing seems to have gotten the consistently sunny and smiley "singing budgie" down. No more is this obvious than in her new fly-on-the-wall film documentary White Diamond.
Filmed between August 2006 and March 2007, the documentary gives the audience an insight into the real Kylie Minogue and something a little more personal to those who have listened to the records, watched the film clips and read the tabloid gossip. It's a fitting end to a massive year and if you cannot wait until Christmas to see Kylie on screen then White Diamond is for you. Getting past the smiley facade and knowing the real Kylie? We should be lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky...
White Diamond is out now on DVD

Kylie wows UK in Dr Who

Dalektable ... in this year's Doctor Who festive season special,
Kylie plays plucky waitress Astrid on the Titanic.
Picture: Doctor Who MagazineKYLIE Minogue has stolen Christmas in the UK with her starring role in this year's Doctor Who festive season special.
The episode - which sees Minogue, 39, playing plucky waitress Astrid on the Titanic - was watched by millions of Britons on Christmas night, and now the BBC is pulling out all stops to satisfy any fans who missed it - putting Kylie into city squares across the UK.
The British national broadcaster is running outdoor screenings of the sci-fi favourite on a loop non-stop from today in a host of centres including Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Hull.
The outdoor screenings - which will also feature the Queen's Christmas message and EastEnders - is to promote the BBC's iPlayer free program download service, the UK's version of ABC Now.
Minogue - who snogs the Doctor (David Tennant) as they battle disaster on the Titanic - filmed the Doctor Who episode in July.
Kylie and sister Dannii are reported to be back in Australia for the Christmas break, spending it at their parents' Melbourne home with brother Brendan.
British sources report Dannii, 36 - who is already on TV as an X-Factor judge, now wants to jump on the guest-star bandwagon in another British sci-fi TV series called Torchwood.
Torchwood star John Barrowman said he would love to see Dannii on the show.
"She has an edge and I know she's a fan of the show," Barrowman said.
- More pictures and a full interview with Kylie appear in the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, on sale now.

KYLIE MINOGUE akzeptiert Kinderlosigkeit
27.12.2007LONDON (chart-king.de) - Kylie Minogue hat sich damit abgefunden, dass sie vielleicht niemals Kinder haben wird. Wie der Online-Dienst "FemaleFirst.co.uk" berichtet, ist die Sängerin mit ihrem Leben trotzdem sehr zufrieden. Die 39-Jährige wörtlich: "Ich werde vielleicht nie eine eigene Familie haben, aber ich denke nicht, dass mich das weniger erfüllt oder weniger glücklich als alle anderen macht. Das ist das einzige Leben, das ich habe. Das ist das Leben, das ich kenne. Ich kann mich nicht in jemand anderen verwandeln."
Bei Kylie Minogue sprechen derzeit mehrer Gründe gegen eigene Kinder. Zum einen dürfte die Chemotherapie, der sie sich 2005 unterzog, es ihr erschweren, schwanger zu werden. Zum anderen ist die Sängerin derzeit solo.

'It’s great to see Kylie back to her old self'
by Sally Williams, Western Mail
26.12.2007KYLIE MINOGUE’S family have spoken of their joy at her resurgence over the past 12 months - but have revealed they are not keen on her new Marilyn Monroe look.
The Australian singer’s comeback single, 2 Hearts, stormed into the top 10 of the charts, as did her new album, X, while her appearance in yesterday’s Doctor Who Christmas special guaranteed her a central position in the festive television schedules.
Ron Riddiford, Kylie’s great-uncle, who lives in Maesteg, told the Western Mail he was pleased that Kylie is "back to her old, lovely self" and filming again.
But he said he prefers her natural look, as opposed to the Marilyn Monroe gear she sports in the video for 2 Hearts.
Mr Riddiford, 75, brother of Kylie’s grandmother Millie, said, "I don’t think much of the new images really; I prefer Kylie. "And Doctor Who isn’t really my cup of tea but it is nice to see her getting on well."
Kylie spent some time filming in Swansea, where she was making the show with star David Tennant, shooting several scenes outside the Exchange Buildings in Adelaide Street last summer.
But, instead of the Marilyn look, that time she was dressed in stockings and knee-length high-heeled boots for her role as a maid on the doomed Titanic in the Christmas episode Voyage of the Damned, which featured a much-pictured kiss between her and the Doctor.
Mr Riddiford said, "We hear all about her progress from her mother Carol, who came back to see us in Maesteg several weeks ago.
"We met her in the old house, and we all had a family meal and spent the afternoon together.
"She told us Kylie was working hard and she is looking good and sounding great.
"It is a good few years since Kylie came to see us.
"But when Kylie is in Wales she also likes to go up to Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales, where she has family too."
Dennis Riddiford, also Kylie’s great-uncle, who lives near Port Talbot, fondly remembers the days when Kylie would visit and go for a walk in the local woods with him, grandmother Millie and the family.
He realises that Kylie travels a lot with her hectic celebrity lifestyle and he was pleased to have caught up with her in Australia a few years ago.
He said, "I travelled up to Manchester hoping to see her again in concert [in May 2005] and to see her sister Dannii too; they are so similar.
"But Kylie was taken ill on the day I went, shortly before she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I couldn’t see her.
"The cancer was a horrible shock, I was terribly worried but, touch wood, she has got over it and is fighting fit again."
Kylie received huge public sympathy after her breast cancer was diagnosed, and there was enormous interest in her plight as she underwent treatment.
She was operated on in an Australian hospital on May 21, 2005, before completing her course of chemotherapy in a private hospital in Paris.
She was eventually given the all-clear in January 2006, and in the past 12 months has returned to public life, while remaining a high-profile advocate for cancer screening and support groups
Mr Riddiford said he had kept up to date on Kylie’s progress through her traumatic time by keeping in regular contact with her mother.
"I’m partially blind so I don’t tend to get the newspapers and magazines," he said.
"But I spoke to Kylie’s mother Carol the other day, who said she’s keeping fine.
"And I’m hoping to get a Christmas card off Kylie again this year, like I did last year."

Kylie Reveals She Loves Paolo Nutini's Voice
Beverley Lyons And Laura Sutherland
22.12.2007PRINCESS of Pop Kylie Minogue is the latest star to sign up to the Paolo Nutini fan club.
The sexy star announced her love for the Scottish singer on her specially recorded Christmas Day show for the listeners of Real Radio.
The 2 Hearts singer let it slip while recording her show that she loved Paolo's voice.
Halfway through the show Kylie told her audience she had a surprise for them before playing Paolo's 2006 top 10 hit Last Request.
She cooed: "I've got a surprise, I've chosen Paolo Nutini. I'm looking forward to this." And when the song finished she gushed: "Paolo, Paolo, I love your voice."
The Paisley crooner has a flock of famous fans, including Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears, rockers Led Zeppelin, who he supported earlier this month, and Georgia Jagger, daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall.
But adding Kylie to the fan club must be at the top of every young man's Christmas wish list.
Kylie also revealed that the late Michael Hutchence, whom she dated in 1989, still held a special place in her heart too.
"OK, so it's Christmas, but we are not going to play only Christmas songs," she said. "I'd like to play some other tracks that have a special meaning to me and one of them is INXS with Need You Tonight."
The track, which was a No.2 hit in the UK for INXS in 1987, is obviously dear to Kylie.
The singer also played upbeat Dolly Parton hit 9 to 5 giggling: "What can I say? I love Dolly. I could just say I love Dolly for the next five minutes but I would probably be axed from my own Christmas show."
Finishing her show, Kylie said: "I'm really excited about 2008 and hope you are too."
Tune into 100-101fm Real Radio from 10am on December 25 to listen to Kylie's Christmas Show.
Fans will also see her duet with Sir Paul McCartney on New Year's Eve.
Kylie teamed up with Macca to perform his song Dance Tonight as part of BBC2's spectacular New Year's Eve Hootenanny show line-up.
They were watched by celebrity guests including Dawn French, Lenny Henry and Lulu plus performers Madness, Mika, Seasick Steve, Kate Nash and the 1st Battalion Scots Guards pipe band when they recorded the show.
She also joined forces with host Jools Holland for a slow version of I Should Be So Lucky.
Kylie looks set to dominate our festive viewing, as she has appearances on Doctor Who and Christmas Day Top Of The Pops.

The Fabulous Kylie Minogue steals the show at New Year's Eve special
21.12.2007It's the Fabulous Kylie Minogue, raising the temperature as she sprawls slinkily over the piano for Jools Holland's Hootenanny.
Seventeen years after Michelle Pfeiffer did her never-to-be-forgotten pianotop performance for the film The Fabulous Baker Boys, Kylie - encased in a skin-tight gold dress - pulls off the same trick for Holland's New Year Eve show as she sings a slow version of her old hit I Should Be So Lucky.

Fabulous Baker BoysAs well as her performance accompanied by Jools's Rhythm & Blues Orchestra - with Jools on piano - 39-year-old Minogue also sings a duet with Sir Paul McCartney - Dance Tonight from his album Memory Almost Full.
Their duet marks the climax of a year in which both stars have endured a troubled personal life.
Sir Paul is still in the throes of his divorce from Heather Mills, who is claiming a slice of his £825 million fortune.
Let me entertain you: the singer performed duets with JoolsKylie - who returned to performing a year ago after having treatment for breast cancer -split up earlier this year with her boyfriend Olivier Martinez, 41, after four years together.
The couple said the split was amicable, despite claims in the tabloids that he had been unfaithful.
Last month Miss Minogue released X, her first studio album in four years and the tenth of her career.
She also announced she would undertake a European tour next year, KYLIEX2008. Holland's show, which has long been established as a highlight of the New Year's Eve television schedule, is Jools's 15th annual Hootenanny.

As well as 65-year-old Sir Paul, Sixties survivors on the show include Lulu and soul icon Eddie Floyd, who performs classics including Knock On Wood and 634-5789.
Mika, whose album Life In Cartoon Motion helped him to become one of the biggest new acts of the year, performs his Number 1 song Grace Kelly, while the Kaiser Chiefs sing songs from the chart-topping album Yours Truly, Angry Mob, including Ruby.
High note: the pop star also performed with Paul McCartneyThe show also features Madness dipping into their back catalogue for old favourites such as Baggy Trousers and House of Fun.
Among the other performers are Kate Nash - whose song Foundations from the album Made of Bricks was one of the hits of the summer - and Robbie Coltrane doing a turn as Frank Sinatra.
The show, which viewers once believed was performed live until the year Ms Dynamite appeared at the same time as performing at the Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh, was pre-recorded in mid-December "as live", with a midnight countdown led by Jools Holland.
Among the other acts are Ruby Turner and the Pipes And Drums of the First Battalion of the Scots Guards.
The celebrity audience includes David Tennant and John Simm who play Doctor Who and The Master. Miss Minogue is acting in the special Christmas episode of the series.
Other stars watching the recording are Dawn French, Lenny Henry, Sir Bernie Ecclestone, Sir Jackie Stewart, John Culshaw, Imelda Staunton, Steve McClaren, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Meera Syal and Gabby and Kenny Logan.
