An insider told the paper: "It’s just visually amazing. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen Kylie do before. Kylie vamps it up in a black latex catsuit that’s so tight and figure-hugging, you can clearly see the shape of her bum. She writhes on the floor provocatively and cavorts on a grand piano."

And it seems Kylie has been taking inspiration from London’s camp scene for some of the outfits for her ’band’ in the video.

She apparently asked London designers Gareth Pugh and Christopher Kane to create costumes after being impressed by a group of drag queens when she DJed at Boombox during London Fashion Week.

A source said: "Kylie wanted striking, unusual looking people for the video. Everyone shines in camp Spandex outfits, killer heels, and vamped up make-up and lots of glitter - it all looks totally futuristic.

"She wanted to do something different that no one would expect and the video is no holds barred."


Kylie to attend world premiere - Sept 28 2007
Kylie is set to attend the world premiere of her new film White Diamond next month.

On the same evening of the premiere on October 16, fans of the Aussie songstress will also be given the chance to see an exclusive screening of the feature at Vue cinemas across the country.

Vue will be showing the film on 39 screens. Interviews and the red carpet excitement from the premiere at Vue Leicester Square in London will be broadcast live by satellite into all the cinemas.

White Diamond shows Kylie’s triumphant return to the world stage with her 2006 Showgirl Homecoming Tour and includes intimate back stage footage and interviews.

Kylie said: "When William Baker and I started working on White Diamond more than a year ago we had little idea that it would develop into such an epic project; one that would cover the entire period leading up to and continuing throughout the Showgirl Homecoming tour.

"It was a very personal journey preparing for this tour and only someone as close to me as William could have captured it in such a unique and enjoyable way."

Tickets can be purchased now online from www.myvue.com, by phone via 08712 240 240 or directly from box offices at participating cinemas.


Kylie TV comeback for charity? - Sept 12 2007
Pint-sized star Kylie Minogue is apparently set to make her TV comeback on this year’s Children In Need.

The 39-year-old will perform live on the fundraising show in November, according to the Sun. A spokesperson for the BBC would not comment on the report.

An appearance would tie in with the release of the star’s much-anticipated 10th album, which is likely to be out on November 21.

Artists featured on the album include Scissor Sisters, Boy George and Groove Armada, and the pop princess has said: "I started working on it a year and a half ago and I can’t believe it’s nearly finished."

Kylie is no stranger to the BBC, having recently filmed a Titanic-themed festive special of hit show Doctor Who, starring David Tennant, to be aired on Christmas Day.

The singer, who’s fought a high-profile battle with breast cancer, appears as a waitress in the episode.


Kylie to have baby op? - Aug 29 2007

The pop princess, aged 39, was said to be worried that she would not be able to have children after undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer two years ago.

But medical experts have been working on a new treatment which could improve her chances of conceiving naturally, the Sun reports.

Biography

Aussie beauty Kylie Ann Minogue was born to an Irish father, Ron, and Welsh mother, Carol in 1968.  The eldest of three siblings she attended Camberwell High School in the Melbourne suburbs whilst also following an acting career from a young age.  At 11 Kylie took bit parts in soaps such as The Henderson Kids, Skyways and The Sullivans while her sister, Dannii gained fame on Young Talent Time, the show on which Kylie gave her first singing performance in 1983.

In 1986 Kylie was offered the role of Charlene Mitchell in upcoming soap Neighbours.  Her storylines made her a household name in both Australia and the UK and the on screen wedding between Charlene and Scott Robinson (played by Jason Donovan) attracted record numbers of viewers.

Whilst performing The Locomotion on stage at a benefit in 1987 Kylie was spotted by representatives of Mushroom Records who signed her up and released the track.  The success of her first release saw Kylie travel to London to meet with pop moguls Stock Aitken and Waterman who penned I Should Be So Lucky for her on the spot.  The single was a smash and launched Kylie as one to watch and indeed her debut album became the biggest seller of the year here in the UK. 

Panned by critics, Especially For You, a duet recorded with Jason Donovan (by this time a pop star in his own right) was a huge hit in 1989 but Kylie’s follow up album, Enjoy Yourself, whilst successful in Europe and Australia flopped in the US, resulting in the singer being dropped by her American label.

1990 saw Kylie make the first radical adjustment to her image.  Gone was the cutesy girl next door in favour of a more sexy look for Better The Devil You Know, while a relationship with bad boy rocker Michael Hutchence cemented Kylie’s new ’cool’ status.  Rhythm of Love produced several well received dance-orientated singles and was enough of a success to persuade Kylie to produce a further album despite her contract with PWA being up.  Let’s Get To It was a critical success but was her first release to miss the top ten.  Realising that she was stifled by the Stock Aitken and Waterman formula she recorded three new tracks for a Greatest Hits album and made a break for it.

So it was time for another change in direction.  Kylie went indie following her signing to Deconstruction Records and Confide in Me spent several weeks at the Aussie top spot.  The self titled album released alongside sold reasonably well although it received mixed reviews from the press while follow up singles eached top twenty.  Elsewhere Kylie went extra dark, appearing on Nick Cave’s Where The Wild Roses Grow, a move which promised a more credible pop star in the future. 

By 1997 Kylie had overhauled her image again, and the release of Impossible Princess the following year reflected that.  A collaboration with the Manic Street Preachers wasn’t enough to stop the album from becoming the least successful of her releases and the end of Kylie’s pop career looked near.

However a split with Deconstruction resulted in Kylie hooking up with Parlophone and in an explosion of gold glitter and disco the pop starlet burst back on to the scene in an unfeasibly small pair of gold hotpants to promote Spinning Around and accompanying album Light Years.  The single was Kylie’s first UK number one in ten years and resulted in a duet with Robbie Williams and a sell out tour.  However, it was 2001’s Fever which cemented Kylie’s future.  The unforgettable video for impossibly catchy single Can’t Get You Out Of My Head ensured that the track reached number one in over 40 countries.  Follow up singles were almost equally successful and the awards flooded in while next album, Body Language, was another hit while Ultimate Kylie, a greatest hits release was accompanied by a lavish tour.

It was during this time that Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer, much to the shock of her fans.  Her headline slot at Glastonbury was cancelled and the rest of the Showgirl tour was postponed but after treatment from Australia and France’s best doctors Kylie was back on the scene looking better than ever.  She began work on a new album and released a children’s book The Showgirl Princess closely followed by a perfume, Darling.  She resumed her Showgirl tour and split with French boyfriend Olivier Martinez.

Elsewhere Kylie’s film career has been slightly less successful than her musical one.  From The Deliquents to Street Fighter she has been panned for her on screen work her only success coming in the form of the green absinthe fairy in Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge!
