The 100 greatest Kylie moments of all time!
06.11.2007
She's the world's favourite superstar and her life is a series of amazing moments.
But, amazingly, some of those amazing moments are even more amazing than the others! We've worked with Kylie experts from every nation in the known world to bring you the definitive, amazing list.
Ready? Then prepare yourself for Kylie Meltdown as Slashmusic presents: The 100 Greatest Kylie Moments Of All Time!

Kylie's 100 Most Amazing Moments Ever!

100
The white hooded jumpsuit from the 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' video that didn't let you see a knocker but made you think you might. Designed by Fiona Doran and inspired by Grace Jones, the six foot long creation was modified by Kylie herself who insisted the splits at the leg go waist high with cries of "Higher! Higher!" as the stylist made fashion history with a pair of scissors.
99
Singing a rude word in 'Shocked' even though she denies it. There's no way that word is "rocked"!
98
Letting Nick Cave smash her head in with a rock. Australia's two most important musical artistes united for the murder ballad 'Where The Wild Roses Grow', fabulously wrong footing everyone and giving the normally underground-lurking Cave his biggest hit single to date.

97
Shooting a big gun in the movie Street Fighter. Some consider this video game adaptation to be the worst movie ever made but how is that possible when it contains a scene where the Kylster, in her role as action heroine Cammy, wraps her legs round a bad man's neck? She's also handy with a bazooka and makes Jean-Claude van Damme look tall for the first time in his career.
96
Being in Bio-dome. Oh come on, it's really underrated.
95
Releasing one album called Kylie and two albums called Kylie Minogue.
94
Having at least 26 number one singles (though not all in the same country).
93
Dueting on 'If You Were With Me Now' with Keith Washington, a man no one heard of before or since.
92
Being in the actually really good The Henderson Kids playing a character who was prophetically named Char.
91
Being smaller in real life than you would expect, even after every single person who has met her has already told you that she's smaller in real life than you would expect.

90
Being Charlene in Neighbours and making men feel funny. The failing daytime Aussie soap brought in the virtually unknown Ms Minogue to play tomboyish rapscallion Charlene Mitchell and within a week children were bunking off school to watch it. The BBC was forced by law to show it twice a day.
89
Just as Jesus was a humble carpenter, Charlene was just a common mechanic.
88
Charlene's mother was not a virgin but she was Madge Bishop which is probably better.
87
The Delinquents. You get to see a knocker.
86
Making the 2000 Olympics even gayer than when the ancient Greeks used to wrestle in the nude by singing 'Dancing Queen' at the closing ceremony in Sydney. In front of four million viewers and the world's sporting elite, Kylie closed what is now considered to be the best Olympic Games ever, wearing pink feathers while being carried about on a giant flip-flop. And Britain still thinks it has a chance of hosting it!

85
The Kylie bottled water.
84
Speaking in a Dutch accent for her first TV role as Carla on The Sullivans.
83
Her waxwork in Madam Tussauds having smelly breath.
82
Making a Christian man cross when Madam Tussauds hung her waxwork from the ceiling dressed as the angel Gabriel.
81
Descending from the ceiling on an anchor for the 'On A Night Like This' tour.
80
Inadvertently turning down the chance to sing on the Manic Street Preachers' 'Little Baby Nothing' back when they weren't famous, then having them write 'Some Kind Of Bliss' for her when they were.
79
The 'Got To be Certain' shoes.
78
"Remember the old days, remember the O'Jays."
77
Being a Geisha in a Jacuzzi for Towa Tei's 'GBI' video.

76
Having tiny ballerinas dance on her hat for the 'Chocolate' video.
75
Reciting 'I Should Be So Lucky' for the Poetry Olympics at the Albert Hall.
74
Dressing like Barbarella in the video for 'Put Yourself In My Place' and then undressing like Barbarella as well.
73
Earning the nickname Carpark Kylie while at school.
72
Appearing in The Vicar Of Dibley. "No, no, no, yes!"
71
Singing 'A Froggy Went A Courting' on Going Live with Trevor & Simon. "Kylie, swing your pants!"

70
Emerging from a giant CD player, strapped to a giant CD, for the Brits 2002.
69
Singing the bootleg version of 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' at the Brits 2002 before bootleg mixes became just a really annoying way to ruin two perfectly good records. New Order's 'Blue Monday' replaced the original track, based on an unofficial mix by super-cool indie DJ Erol Alkan.
68
Doing 'Especially For You' on the Showgirl tour and having the audience sing Jason's bits.

67
Filming the 'I Believe In You' video inside a giant neon jellyfish.
66
Digging up the reclusive pop genius Green Gartside to sing on 'Someday'.
65
Originally calling the LoveKylie lingerie range LuckyKnickers.
64
Being a green fairy in Moulin Rouge. Warning: drinking Absinthe does not make you see Kylies.
63
Singing 'Especially For You' with Kermit The Frog on An Audience With Kylie Minogue.

62
Multiplying multitudes of Kylies in Michel Gondry's 'Come Into My World' video. No, we don't know how it's done either. Unless they used computers, but we'd like to think it was all down to something better.
61
Singing the opening line on Band Aid II's 'Do They Know It's Christmas' - a record Chris Martin tried to erase from history with the inferior Band Aid 20.
60
Playing a secret gig in Melbourne under the pseudonym The Singing Budgies.
59
Placing her buttocks in the hands of Justin Timberlake at the Brit Awards 2003. Teaming up to duet on Blondie's 'Rapture', the world's most desired man got to grips with the world's most pert posterior. Timberlake's opinion of the arse? "On a scale of one to 10, it was like, a 58!" That's quite a good arse then.

58
Wearing a hair hat on the first album cover.
57
'Better The Devil You Know'. Pop changed forever.
56
Being caught at Heathrow with handcuffs in her luggage. Already dubbing her 'Sex Kylie' after a drastic image change and love affair with the late Michael Hutchence of rock band INXS, the tabloid press exploded with delight when in 1991 customs officers at the airport confiscated the cuffs. The boring reality was that they were just the handle of a slightly kinky handbag. BOOO!
55
Becoming a giant in the 'Giving You Up' video but still, by giant standards, being quite small.
54
Dressing as a French whore for the 'Word Is Out' video.
53
Once throwing bread rolls at a paparazzi photographer.
52
The panther tattoo.

51
Cute Kylie, Sex Kylie, Dance Kylie and Indie Kylie fighting each other in the video for 'Did It Again'.
50
Doing her own stunts for arty film Hayride To Hell.
49
Dueting with a fishnet-wearing Elton on 'Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves' for Equality 85 at the Albert Hall.
48
The slogan for the 'Intimate & Live' tour being "If in doubt, apply more glitter".
47
Having her tongue hacked out in the Aussie slasher flick Cut.
46
Pretending to be Neil Tennant's daughter on the Pet Shop Boys song 'In Denial'.

45
Recreating the famous 70s 'tennis arse' shot for the cover of GQ magazine.
44
Being a sexy wet ghost in a pool for the video of 'On A Night Like This'.
43
'Disco Down'. Probably the greatest Kylie track never to be released as a single.
42
'Turn It Into Love'. Probably the greatest Kylie track never to be released as a single (except in Japan).
41
'Your Disco Needs You'. Probably the greatest Kylie track never to be released as a single (except in Germany and Australia).
40
The greasy dungarees. Nnngggnngggh.
39
The 'Please Stay' video revealing that Kylie is so rich she can afford her own seedy pool joint with her own pinball machine and some gay cowboys to dance with whenever she pleases (which is probably quite often).
38
Hitting Jason Donovan during her first Neighbours scene, 'by accident'.

37
The kitten brandishing scene in the 'I Wouldn't Change A Thing' video.
36
Wearing a puffball skirt.
35
"I, I, I, I, I, I should be so lucky". Why does no one do that on records anymore?
34
"I, I, I, I wouldn't change..." Seriously, why not?
33
The "brrrr" noise she makes in 'Give Me Just A Little More Time'. They don't do that anymore either. Aren't records rubbish nowadays?
32
'I Believe In You'. Apart from that one, that one was good.
31
"Quelle heure est-il?" Kylie shows off her French in the mini drama at the start of the 'Je Ne Sais Pas Pourqoi' video. Kylie likes the French.

30
Inadvertently inventing pole-dancing in the video for 'Hand On My Heart'. Well, she danced round a pole anyway. It was stripy.
29
Getting attacked by flying hearts in the video for 'Hand On My Heart'.
28
Flapper Kylie, Cowboy Kylie, Disco Kylie and Japanese Kylie in the 'Never Too Late' video.
27
Singing 'Tears On My Pillow' fourteen years before ITV invented Greasemania.
26
Reciting the lyrics to 'Better the Devil You Know' as part of Nick Cave's academic lecture The Secret Life Of The Love Song at the Royal Festival Hall. Cave describes the track as a "harrowing portrait of humanity not dissimilar to that of the Old Testament Psalms".

25
Wearing hotpants in the 'Step Back In Time' video.
24
'Especially For You'. Were they? Weren't they? Yes, they were! Hurrah!
23
'Confide In Me'. Pop changed forever. Again.
22
'Spinning Around'. Like the prodigal son, she returned to pop. And pop rejoiced. Two years after scaring everyone by going indie and weird with 1998's 'Kylie Minogue' album, 'Spinning Around' (co-written by Paula Abdul) put her firmly back on the disco throne and at the top of the charts. There were some shiny pants involved too.
21
'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'. Pop changed forever - for the third time. Journalist Paul Morley wrote a whole book about how it sounded like a robot driving a fast car to the future.

20
The video for 'Slow' proving that it is possible to earn a living lying on your back surrounded by men in their pants. Who'd have thought?
19
The kinky bus conductor outfit.
18
Doing that 'defying gravity' trick with the shop window in the Eurostar advert.

The gold hotpants making men feel funny. 50p from the market. Bargain!

Performing 'Santa Baby' dressed as Santa (without the beard) on the 2000 Christmas Day TOTP.
15
Responding to the ludicrously awful sleeve of the cheap 'n' shoddy PWL Greatest Hits re-release a few years ago by giving away hundreds of thousands of 'arty' replacement sleeves as inserts in magazines.

Doing the ironing in the video for 'What Do I Have To Do?'.

13
The wedding. Blub!

Riding a big ice lolly in her pants for the LoveKylie promotion.
10
Doing an impression of De Niro in Taxi Driver for Normski's BBC2 show Dance Energy. "You talking to me?"

Being too short to reach the microphone.
7
Riding a bucking sofa in her pants for the Agent Provocateur advert.

"La, la, la."

Yes!

Kylie Minogue steps out in 'boyfriend' jeans
06.11.2007

Kylie Minogue
Ladies, if you've been wanting proof that it's OK to ditch those skinny jeans and don something a little looser, then look no further than Ms Minogue here.
Kylie arrived back at her West London home on Saturday night wearing 'boyfriend' jeans. No, not her boyfriend's jeans- not unless a) that was where she was returning from, and b) her boyfriend is a midget - but that much-touted style of comfy jean that's been seen on the likes of Kate Moss.
The Tiny One teamed hers with a black leather jacket, grey top, grey silver scarf and sunglasses. Yes, at night. Thank goodness all those paparazzi flash bulbs were around so she could see where she was going, eh?

Kylie Minogue
06.11.2007
We reported yesterday that Kylie Minogue had cancelled a world tour on the orders of her doctor. In fact, Ms Minogue had not announced any tour dates, nor had she been advised that a tour would be detrimental to her health. We now accept that Ms Minogue was wrongly quoted. We are happy to set the record straight.

Sängerin geht doch auf Tour
05.11.2007
Kylie Minogue hat einen Zeitungsbericht über ihre aus gesundheitlichen Gründen abgesagte Welttournee 2008 zurückgewiesen. Ihr gehe es ausgezeichnet.
Ein entsprechender Bericht der britischen "Daily Mail" sei "komplett falsch", hieß es am Montagabend in einem von der Plattenfirma EMI Music verbreiteten Statement der Sängerin.
Minogue habe mehrfach gesagt, sie liebe es, auf Tour zu gehen und werde das in naher Zukunft wieder tun. Es seien aber noch keine konkreten Termine bestätigt worden. Da noch keine Tour offiziell gebucht worden sei, könne diese auch nicht abgesagt werden.
Entschuldigung von Zeitung verlangt
Zudem hätten Minogues Ärzte nicht gesagt, eine Tournee könne ihrer Gesundheit ernsthaft schaden. Der Sängerin gehe es gesundheitlich ausgezeichnet. Sie sei dabei, für ihre neue Single und ihr neues Album zu werben und plane nach wie vor, in der Zukunft auf Tour zu gehen. Das Management werde eine Entschuldigung von der Zeitung verlangen, die Minogue mit dem Bericht schwer geschadet habe.
Minogue war 2005 an Brustkrebs erkrankt und gilt nach Chemo- und Strahlentherapie als geheilt. Am 23. November veröffentlicht sie ihr zehntes Studioalbum "X", die erste Platte seit vier Jahren.

Kylie's tour cancellation denied
05.11.2007
KYLIE Minogue's management has denied the pop princess has cancelled her 2008 world tour because of health concerns, saying there was no tour to cancel.
Minogue, 39, is back performing after overcoming breast cancer that was first diagnosed in 2005.
Britain's The Daily Mail newspaper reported today that concerns she may be pushing herself too hard had forced her to cancel the tour.
Although no tour dates had been officially released, Minogue's personal stylist William Baker revealed last month that the pop princess was planning to embark on a world tour just days after her 40th birthday next May.
But Warner Music spokeswoman Kylie Martin said there never was a 2008 world tour.
"Rumours about a 2008 tour are untrue and always have been," Ms Martin said.
"So I'm not sure how you can cancel a tour that was never announced."
The newspaper said doctors had warned her that a world tour could seriously harm her health and quoted Minogue as saying: ""The tour is not going to happen, it is far too soon. I can't do it next year. It kind of breaks my heart because that is what I'm in this business for."
Ms Martin said she could not comment on Minogue's health, adding that the singer and her management were focusing on the release of her new album, X, to be released on November 24.
"I'm not in a position to talk about Kylie's health, I'm just here to promote her new album which is out later this month," she said.

Kylie Minogue muss Welttournee absagen
Zu krank zum Singen
05.11.2007

Kylie Minogue
Die 39-Jährige war 2005 an Brustkrebs erkrankt und gilt nach Chemo- und Strahlentherapie als geheilt. Die Ärzte befürchten trotzdem, dass tägliche Auftritte und das häufige Reisen zu viel für die Sängerin seien und ihrer Gesundheit ernsthaft schaden könnten. "Die Tour findet nicht statt, es ist viel zu früh dafür. Ich kann sie nächstes Jahr nicht machen. Es bricht mir fast das Herz", wird Minogue in der britischen Tageszeitung "Daily Mail" am Montag zitiert.
Die Australierin spricht sehr offen über ihre Krankheit. "Es ist schwierig auszudrücken, was ich gelernt habe, aber es hat einen großen psychologischen und emotionalen Wandel gegeben", sagte Minogue kürzlich in einem Interview. "Mein Körper ist nicht mehr das, was er einmal war. Aber es ist der Körper, in dem ich wohne."

Kylie cancels her world tour on doctor's orders
By LUCRETIA MUNRO
05.11.2007

All dressed up: Kylie on her interrupted Showgirl tour
Kylie Minogue has cancelled her upcoming world tour over fears that it could damage her health.
The 39-year-old singer, who recently beat breast cancer, had planned to discuss tour dates, costume designs and track lists with her stylist and adviser William Baker.
Only a few weeks ago, he had said: "I am heading back into the studio with Kylie in February to start training for the tour we want to do in June. It's going to be fabulous."
But Miss Minogue has told the Daily Mail she has now shelved plans to go on tour after being advised to do so by doctors.
She said: "The tour is not going to happen, it is far too soon. I can't do it next year. It kind of breaks my heart because that is what I'm in this business for.
"Not being able to go ahead with my plans is a real downer.
"Every woman has to face up to new priorities, near the top is health. I take my health very seriously but not obsessively. Everything is about pacing yourself."
Miss Minogue, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, made a full recovery after having treatments including chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
But doctors are concerned that she is pushing herself too hard and warned her that the daily performances and punishing travelling commitments of a world tour could seriously harm her health.
Insiders have said that Miss Minogue, who guest stars in this year's Doctor Who Christmas special, was so keen to go on tour that she was initially prepared to ignore medical advice.
But now she has decided to make her health a priority.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 she was forced to cancel her Showgirl tour, but she resumed it late last year after her recovery and played a New Year's Eve show in London.

Pop princess launches her own version of Myspace
By Dan Wootton
04.11.2007

Kylie Minogue
POP princess Kylie Minogue is taking on MySpace - by becoming the first chart star to launch her own social networking website.

Kylie Minogue
The pioneering singer, 39, wants her millions of fans across the world to chat to each other using their own profiles.
Users of KylieKonnect.com will even be able to contact the star via her profile - as well as read her blog, see sexy pictures of her, and watch an exclusive behind-the-scenes video.
They can also hear tunes not available elsewhere, and download her hits.
The launch of the website is expected to coincide with today's online release of the star's latest single 2 Hearts.
It is part of Kylie's comeback after her breast cancer and painful split from long-term boyfriend Olivier Martinez.
A source close to the project told News of the World: "This is a very big move for Kylie, as nothing like this has ever been tried before.
"It will make her an instant internet entrepreneur - and shows the way the music industry is heading."
Kylie and her record label Parlophone have been working secretly on the site for months.
They hope it will rival hugely popular networking brands like MySpace and Facebook.
The source said: "Kylie's fans are very loyal to her, so it is hoped a large number of them will decide to join her network.
"That could quickly make Kylie a big player in this big business. But there's also the risk she could look stupid if her fans only want to stick with their existing sites.
"It is a bold step for her to take. But it shows she is serious about becoming more than just a pop star and taking control of the business side of things around her."
A message on the page yesterday said: "KylieKonnect allows you to blog and upload pictures from your mobile phone - so you can go to a concert and upload pictures of Kylie live on stage to let your friends know what they're missing."
The star is also busy with the launch of her new album X, released at the end of the month.
Her new single will be on CD in a week's time.
The source said: "Kylie will be 40 in a few months but she has no plans to quit music.
"This is all about trying out different things.
"She's very proud of being the first singer to create a social networking brand."

Kylie Minogue: William Baker ist ihr schwuler Ehemann
01.11.2007

William Baker und Kylie Minogue
LONDON (chart-king.de) - Kylie Minogues engster Vertrauter ist ihr ehemaliger Stylist William Baker.
Wie der Online-Dienst "contactmusic.com" berichtet, geht die Beziehung der beiden über eine normale Freundschaft weit hinaus. Baker stand der Sängerin stets zur Seite, auch während ihrer Brustkrebserkrankung. Minogue sagte dazu: "Er hat als mein Stylist angefangen, aber heute ist er mein Freund, mein schwuler Ehemann. Wir sind so gut wie verheiratet. Wir sind sehr abhängig voneinander."
William Baker drehte auch die neue Kylie-Minogue-Dokumentation "White Diamonds". Der Film zeigt das Comeback der Sängerin nach ihrer Krebsdiagnose 2005.

Unleashed: Dannii's sexy image
01.11.2007

Dannii Minogue
ANY provocative thing Kylie can do, little sister Dannii Minogue can seemingly contort herself to do better - in a skimpy leotard.
After Kylie released artwork for her latest album, X, striking a sexy pose in red lippy and painted talons last month, mini Minogue unveiled this image for her latest musical effort, Unleashed.
She may look like she's lying down on the job, but the X Factor UK judge has been busy, cutting 10 new tracks, which she's packaged with six previous No.1 club hits on the CD due later this year.
She's also set to re-release two previous albums, Girl and Neon Nights. We know what she wants in her fishnet stocking this Christmas.

KYLIE ON FACEBOOK!
31.10.2007

Kylie has already got her own MySpace and BeBo page and now she has landed on Facebook!
If you want to be her friend, simply search Kylie Minogue on Facebook and add her.
But it's not as simple as that as we're only allowing Kylie to have a maximum of 3,500 friends. So, hurry to see if you can be one of the lucky few.
Don't worry if you don't make it though as there will still be a group with all the latest news, open to everyone to join in!

Erste Frau am Preis
31.10.2007

Kylie Minogue
Wenn Kylie Minogue einen Kaminsims hat, dann zieren diesen schon so einige Pokale und Preise. Nun muss sie ein ganz besonderes Plätzchen für eine ganz besondere Auszeichnung finden.
Kylie Minogue wurde am Montag in einer feierlichen Gala vom "Music Industry Trust" im noblem "Grosvenor House Hotel" in London geehrt. Als Zeichen der Anerkennung ihrer 20-jährigen Musikkarriere erhielt die australische Pop-Prinzessin eine der renommiertesten Auszeichnungen der Musikindustrie. Hinzu kommt: Sie ist die erste Frau, die den "Music Industry Trust Award" seit seiner Gründung vor 16 Jahren entgegennehmen durfte. Zu den Preisgekrönten der jährlichen Verleihung gehörten Größen wie Sir Elton John, Sir George Martin und Peter Gabriel.
Mittels einer Video-Montage sprachen Freunde und Kollegen ihr Lob und ihren Respekt für Kylies Schaffen aus. Darunter auch Musikikone Sting, der ganz besonders nette Worte an Kylie richtete: "Ich habe großen Respekt vor dir als Künstlerin - und, wie die meisten Männer auf Erden, bin ich sicher nicht immun gegen deine ikonische Schönheit. Aber mehr als das, du bist zu einem Symbol von Mut und Anmut geworden." Auch Dannii Minogue herzte ihre Schwester stolz. Und der Vorsitzende des Komitees, David Munns, schwärmte gegenüber "BBC", es gäbe keinen Zweifel daran, dass Kylie bei weitem die Glamouröseste unter den fünfzehn bisher Prämierten sei. Gerührt nahm Kylie den "Gong"-Pokal entgegen, sie fühle sich unglaublich geehrt. Es sei ihr eine besondere Freude, Teil einer Veranstaltung sein zu dürfen, die so viel Geld für musikalische Förderungsmaßnahmen wie den "Brit Trust" oder die "Nordoff-Robbins" Musiktherapie einbringe. Nach ihrem Kampf gegen ihre Krebskrankheit startet die zierliche Lady aus Melbourne ihr Comeback mit neuem Elan und dem neuem Album "X". Schön, dass Kylie wieder da ist.

KYLIE'S POP PLEDGE
31.10.2007

Kylie will never quit
KYLIE Minogue vowed never to quit pop as she became the first female to collect the Music Industry Trust award.
The Aussie icon fought off tears as she was honoured at the posh do held at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel. Her loyal sister Dannii, 36, presented Kylie with her award and their parents flew in especially from Australia for the event.
Kylie, 39, said of her pop career: "I couldn’t not do this. It’s what I’m about."
"It’s wonderful to be honoured after 20 years in the business. I like to keep doing new things."
Proud
She was treated to a dazzling dance display from pupils at the BRIT School who, along with Nordoff-Robins Music Therapy, benefit from the event.
Then the pop princess revamped her first UK No 1 I Should Be So Lucky into a smoky jazz version complete with Jamie Cullum, 28, tinkling the ivories.
Delighted Kylie revealed: "I feel so popular. To be the first woman to receive this honour makes me immensely proud.
"It’s absolutely fitting my little sister Dannii could give this award to me as family is so important to me. My mum and dad flew in especially. They introduced me to music at four - I still have my flute."
Kylie, also performed new single 2 Hearts, out on Monday, with Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears, 29. She continued: "I would have loved to go to a school like the BRITs when I was a teenager." Her pal Jake, 29, told me: "We goofed around so much in rehearsals.
"Kylie kept telling me off for making her laugh. "She’s an inspiration and one of my dearest friends." Kylie even paid tribute to her famous perky posterior.
She cheekily added in her acceptance speech: "Thank you, I won’t say, from the heart of my bottom, but from the bottom of my heart."
A beaming Dannii paid tribute to her sister, hailing her as "an inspiration."
And she confirmed she is thriving in her telly role as an X Factor judge. She said: "There is rivalry between us all. We all desperately want to win."
But will the show produce another Kylie? I doubt it.

Kylie Minogue soll sich schonen
31.10.2007

Kylie Minogue
Kylie Minogue sollte ihrer Gesundheit zuliebe nicht auf Welttournee gehen. Die Ärzte sind von den geplanten Konzerten der 39-Jährigen nämlich gar nicht begeistert.
Laut dem Onlinedienst "Entertainmentwise" mutet sich die Sängerin nach ihrer Brustkrebserkrankung viel zu viel zu. Ein Insider sagte, wenn es nach den Ärzten gehen würde, müsste Kylie ihre Tournee absagen: "Die Ärzte glauben, dass das viele Reisen von Ort zu Ort nicht gut für sie ist. Sie kann nicht mehr so große Belastungen aushalten wie früher."
Welttournee zum 40er
Kylie Minogue freut sich schon jetzt auf ihren 40. Geburtstag. Obwohl sie erst am 28. Mai Geburtstag hat, kann sie den Tag schon gar nicht mehr erwarten. Wie die britische Zeitung "The Sun" berichtet, könne die 39-Jährige Frauen gar nicht verstehen, die vor der Zahl 40 so große Angst haben. Die Sängerin sagte dazu: "Ich habe keine Angst davor, 40 Jahre alt zu werden. Ich glaube, es wird ziemlich befreiend. Ich habe mal gehört, dass eine Frau erst ab 49 Jahren endgültig bei sich angekommen ist." Pünktlich zu ihrem 40. Geburtstag will die zarte Sängerin auf Welttournee gehen.
Kylie-Doku & neue DVD
Neben ihrem neuen Album "X" ist Kylie die Hauptakteurin der "White Diamond" Dokumentation, für die sie mit ihrem langjährigen Creativ Director William Baker zusammenarbeitete. "White Diamond" dokumentiert Kylies Triumphzug zurück auf die Bühnen der Welt mit ihrer "Showgirl Homecoming" Tournee 2006.
Der Film zeigt Backstage-Aufnahmen und Interviews, in denen sie über ihre Gefühle, Ängste und Bestrebungen spricht. Er hat ihren Kampf gegen den Brustkrebs, ihre Trennung von Olivier Martinez sowie ihre "Showgirl Homecoming Tour" zum Inhalt. Die Sängerin wurde bei Proben bis hin zu den Konzerten in Australien und Großbritannien begleitet. Im November 2007 wird die Dokumentation zu sehen sein. Ob im Kino oder im TV steht noch nicht fest.

KYLIE HONOURED AT MUSIC INDUSTRY TRUST AWARDS!
30.10.2007

Kylie & Dannii Minogue
Kylie - Pop Princess, Icon and national treasure - was honoured last night with the prestigious annual Music Industry Trusts' Award, the first woman in the event's 16 year history to receive the award!
The charity gala dinner in aid of The BRIT School and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, was attended by over 1200 guests from the UK music and entertainment industry, to gathered to pay tribute to this much loved pop star.
Dance students from the BRIT School got the evening off to a spectacular start with a special choreographed medley of her hits, 'On A Night Like This' and 'Kids'.
Many of Kylie's friends and fellow artists attended including Jake Shears, Cathy Dennis, Sir George Martin and Jo Malone, with her sister Dannii presenting her with the esteemed award.
Kylie then thrilled and surprised guests with a performance of one of her first hit records 'I Should Be So Lucky'. She was joined by a very special guest, jazz sensation Jamie Cullum who took to the piano to accompany her for a unique rendition of the smash hit.
Kylie also treated guests to the exclusive first performance of her brand new single '2 Hearts' with special guest appearances by her good friends Jake Shears and Baby Daddy from the Scissor Sisters, who flew in especially from the US to join her.
The Music Industry Trust Award was presented to Kylie in "recognition of her universally acclaimed status as an icon of pop and style achieved over a 20 year career which has seen her reinvent, experiment and inspire."
"Kylie has established one of the longest and most successful careers as a performer in contemporary popular music and her tenacity and determination to succeed, on and off the stage, have been an inspiration to so many. Kylie has a unique place in this country's heart and an appeal that seems to grow ever wider. We salute Kylie for her unique gifts as one of the great entertainers of all time."
STING
"I have a great deal of respect for you as an artist - and like most men on the planet, I'm certainly not immune to your iconic beauty - but more than this you have become a symbol of courage, of 'Grace under Pressure'."
DANNII MINOGUE
"I am so proud of you! It's been an amazing journey and there's still so much more to come. It's been great to be there from the beginning."
BARRY HUMPHRIES
"Kylie, you are a triumphant artist. You've managed to have this tremendous career which goes on and on, that began with 'Neighbours'. My friend Dame Edna always wanted to be in that show."
You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of "pop" artists who've lasted more than a decade, let alone more than two decades. In July 1987, the Kylie released her first single, a remake of the 1962 Little Eva hit 'Locomotion'. The song hit No.1 in Australia and remained in the top spot for seven weeks, becoming the biggest Australian single of the '80's. Twenty years later she now holds the record for the most played female artist on UK radio over the last 20 years.
Kylie has released nine studio albums, two live CDs, seven live concert DVDs, plus her Greatest Hits and the Ultimate Kylie double album and multiple video packages. This is of course in addition to 43 singles released internationally, all of which have been hits.
In her long and illustrious career Kylie has written, co-written and performed some of pop history's most memorable songs, working with artists and songwriters such as Nick Cave, Robbie Williams, Manic Street Preachers, Cathy Dennis, Scissor Sisters, Guy Chambers, Blood Shy and Brian Rawlings.
The event raised over £3million for its two charities, Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and the BRIT Trust which donates funds to many organisations supporting youth, music and education which naturally includes the BRIT school for Performing Arts and Technology.
The Music Industry Trusts€™ Award was established in 1991 with the twin aims of honouring an individual and raising money for the nominated charities. Previous recipients include Sir George Martin, John Barry, Peter Gabriel, Ahmet Ertegun, Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
