Kylie Minogue kicks off
Posted in Concert, Kylie Minogue, World Tour on the May 8, 2008
Kylie Minogue kicked off her long-awaited tour last night with ex-boyfriend Olivier Martinez in the audience.
The French actor – who split from the singer in February 2007 – joined 10,000 fans at Paris’ Bercy Stadium, in France, at the opening night of ‘KylieX2008′.
An onlooker said: ‘Olivier looked on very proudly as Kylie wowed fans with the show, which was spectacular.’
Kylie – who recently denied claims she had rekindled her romance with Olivier, insisting they were just friends - opened the show above the stage in a full-length purple gown amid green wires in a gold hoop as she performed ‘Speakerphone’ from her latest album ‘X’. As well as singing a host of her classic hits including ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ and ‘Step Back In Time’, the Australian beauty thrilled the crowd with her own version of Barry Manilow’s ‘Copacabana’.
The tour has cost over $20 million to stage and includes 53 dates across Europe, concluding with a six-night residency at London’s O2 arena ending in August.
It is her first full tour since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. Kylie – who on Monday was pronounced a Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters in France – recently revealed she was counting down the days until the tour started.
The ‘Wow’ singer said: “The countdown has begun!! Not long now before opening night for ‘KylieX2008′!!!! My cast, crew and I have been working hard to really make this show ’spectacular’ for you. Full production rehearsals are coming up and we are very excited to merge all the various elements of the show.”
Kylie Minogue Headlines Glastonbury
Posted in Glastonbury, JAY-Z, Kylie Minogue, Music Festivals, Neil Diamond on the April 1, 2008
This is some unexpected news but it’s some very welcome unexpected news. Kylie Minogue has just been named as a headliner at the Glastonbury Music Festival in the UK this coming summer. The Australian singer will join previously announced artists that Jay-Z and Neil Diamond who were also reported to be headlining the festivities. That’s a very interesting line up. Let’s just hope that it doesn’t rain again much like it did last year. Rolling around in the mud while Kylie is on stage isn’t really something I see concertgoers enjoying. I wonder who else is going to join in on the festivities.
Kylie Minogue’s Cover Up
Posted in Concert, Fashion, Kylie Minogue, Pop Music on the February 14, 2008
Australian pop star Kylie Minogue is planning on toning down her sexy image and opting for more a more demure look ahead of her 40th birthday.
The singer, who will celebrate the landmark birthday in May, is known for her flamboyant tour costumes. But her stylist reveals she is planning on dressing more modestly for her upcoming European tour later this year.
William Baker, who is credited with Minogue’s fashion-conscious style, says the star will be working with top designer Jean Paul Gaultier to create a more mature look.
He says, “The next tour will see Kylie ageing gracefully. She’s celebrating her 40th birthday this year so what we have planned is to move in the right direction. We’re working with Jean Paul Gaultier on the costumes - he designed Madonna’s Blonde Ambition tour. The outfits he designs are incredibly sophisticated. It’s difficult in pop to remain young so what’s the point?”

Some British media falsely reported that Kylie Minogue cancelled all her plans of going on the road in support for her album. But the singer announced on Wednesday that she will be making her way across Europe in 2008. Kylie X 2008 will start on May 6 in Paris and end with two shows at London’s O2 Arena on July 26 and 27.
A statement was released about the tour saying “Minogue and her creative team have devised a new show that she describes herself as ‘fresh, exhilarating and innovative.’ The new show will be a totally different concept to previous Minogue spectaculars, which have seen her fuse her remarkable creativity with groundbreaking technology to become one of the most respected live performers of our time.”

November is most definitely the month of the divas. Kylie Minogue has just announced that she will be releasing a new album entitled ‘X’ on November 26.

Kylie Minogue emerges with new single
Posted in Kylie Minogue, Music, Music People, New Single, Photography, Pop Music, Singers on the September 17, 2007
Kylie Minogue is set to release a brand new single in November - the first since she was diagnosed with breast cancer - and has a dazzling new look to match. The pop princess has given fans a sneak peek of the cover art set to accompany her new song, titled 2 Hearts. Think she’s just not a princess but a true Queen of Pop, but the only way I wouldn’t like to call her a Queen is coz Queen’s are generally regarded as old and sitting on the throne doing nothing but counting their glory days and with Kylie that’s not the case, she is reinventing every time and coming out with something surprising but very dazzling. I just love her songs, her performances and everything she does. She is truly an icon of the pop world and a princess who will be the queen. The image shows the style chameleon covered in a mask of diamantes and lashings of hot pink lipstick while surrounded by butterflies. Now that’s some style guys, just check these pics out.
