Over the weekend, I did a post about Kylie Minogue?s appearance on the new issue of Blackbook Magazine. I?ve always considered Kylie to be a cute girl, and it pains me how much work she?s had done to her face. It also pains me that we?re supposed to pretend her face is the product of some Botox that she no longer does. Another thing that bothers me? Kylie thinks she?s way more important than she is. Sure, I?ll give her the gay icon status, and yes, I?ll give her a ?dance-music queen? title too. She?s made some good to great dance music, and she?s famous for having a great ass. She?s also a cancer survivor, and I can?t imagine how much she?s struggled over the past years, dealing with cancer treatments and then remission, not knowing if it was going to come back. But she reckons that she and Madonna are on the same field, and that she (Kylie) is one of Lady Gaga?s influences. The full Blackbook interview is here, and here are some highlights:
On her business savvy: ?I have big ambitions,? says Minogue, once the most-groped wax figure at Madame Tussauds? famed London gallery. ?But I?m really quiet about it. What?s that saying? ?Never let people know how much you know.??
On her early acting career: ?Acting was the first thing I did when I left high school,? she says. ?I signed up for the dole when I graduated, but I never got a check because I started working on Neighbours. Fame wasn?t the driving force, but I can?t say I didn?t aspire to it at all. I used to daydream as a kid that my neighbor was a record producer and that he would hear me singing.?
On her career, post-cancer: ?When I came back after I?d healed, I realized, more than ever, that performing is what I do,? she says. ?It?s what I love to do. Strangely, I?m less stressed about getting in front of an audience now, and so the shows have gotten better.?
On her new album: ?I don?t think I?ve ever felt like this about an album. Although I?m not taking the title too literally,? she says, ?Aphrodite is the goddess of love, and as far as the music goes, there?s a feeling of euphoria on this one.? Perhaps this new sound reflects her current state of mind? ?Am I happy right now?? she asks. ?What?s happy? I have moments of happiness and sometimes they?re even strung together, but I definitely have dark moments, too. Thankfully, those don?t last very long. I can go down very quickly, but I won?t stay there.?
On being a gay icon: It?s hard to imagine where Minogue would be today without her gay following, a devout demographic she first encountered in 1998, when drag queens began performing her songs in Sydney, Australia. ?I was ecstatic when I found that out,? she says. ?Shocked, but ecstatic. Before I knew it, I was cradled in their arms.? Her star rose in tandem with her over-the-top stage show, suggesting that perhaps Minogue knew a good thing when she saw it. But, she insists, ?As far as the music goes, I?ve just kept doing what I do, which is, I suppose, what endeared me to them in the first place.? But surely there are times when she caters to her gay fans? ?I don?t know how to answer that question,? she says, before a considerable pause. ?To be honest, I like not having an answer to that question, because it was never calculated in that way.?
On the comparisons to Madonna: ?But it?s a bit of a lazy comparison now,? she says. ?If someone were to look at it more closely, they?d see that I have a lot of influences that precede Madonna.? She adds, ?We have friends in common. She?ll pass me a message and I?ll pass a message back to her. I?m sure we?ll meet one day and have a good laugh.?
On Lady Gaga: The terrain of dance-pop has shifted considerably over the last couple of years, namely because of Lady Gaga, whose oddball combination of couture and camp has endeared her to fans of all sexual persuasions. ?I think there?s an element of me in her, but you?d also have to add into that mix all of the other women we?ve been talking about,? she says. ?It?s all part of a chain. Inasmuch as dance music has gone mainstream, I?d love to think that I?ve played a part in that.?

Am I crazy, or does Kylie only really have a devoted following in Australia and the UK? Sure, she had some hits in America, but is she really this global superstar? Eh. And maybe I like Lady Gaga too much (true story), but it seems like Gaga is out there doing her own thing for the most part, and handing the other dance hall favorites (Madge, Kylie) their collective asses. Gaga has had how many number one hits in the past three years? More than Kylie has had in her whole career.

Back in May, CB wrote about Kylie Minogue and her somewhat new catlike face. Now, I generally don?t notice Kylie either way - I?ve never thought much of her, but I did think she used to be a pretty cute girl. But at some point over the past year, Kylie has had some MAJOR work done. Take a look at the July cover of BlackBook Magazine - if I hadn?t told you this was Kylie, would you have known? This is getting into Madonna territory. As in, I feel physical pain when looking at a photo of Kylie, just because I can?t imagine being that insecure, that you would get all that sh-t done to your face.
Anyway, BlackBook hasn?t released anything from their interview, but Kylie did sit down with the Times Online to talk about cancer, Botox and boys. Full interview is here and here are some highlights:
She says she?s stopped doing Botox. ?It gave me a bad rap. Isn?t that the saying??
On beauty treatments, etc: ?It fascinates me that I?m asked so much about it, when advertising for face products is forced down our throats. There are some things you can do,? she says. ?Most people have done them. You can have microdermabrasions and micropeels. If these things are going to give you better skin, why not? My face has gone through a lot of changes. If you look back to before I was ill, there was nothing of me. I didn?t realise it at the time, but in a way I looked much older than I do now. All of me is just fleshier now, but my face changed. It filled out, it puffed up with the drugs. It?s not puffed now, but then it was because of the chemotherapy and steroids. Nobody saw me much ? I was under the radar ? but there are pictures of me. I could see my cheeks via my peripheral vision. I?d never noticed my cheeks before, but I could look down and I was like, ?Those are my cheeks!? ?
On aging and still having ?it?: ?Now it gets written about because I?m in that age group. ?She?s in her forties and she?s still got it.? I?m in the age range where you?re spoken about like that, and I?m like, ?Shut up, because at some point it won?t be.??
When she broke up from the French actor Olivier Martinez in February 2007, after four years together, she never bitched about him or was bitter. ?I?m a fatalist,? she says. ?I always feel that a relationship runs for the duration it?s meant to.?
On her new boyfriend, Spanish model Andrs Velencoso: They met in October 2008 at a birthday party for the burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, and she says she?s still blissed out with him. ?He just left this morning, actually. We had takeaway Spanish last night because I?m very good friends with the Spanish restaurant. I liked it before I met him.?
[From Times Online]
The interview goes on a lot longer than that, but it was annoying me too much and I didn?t finish reading it. I don?t know how many times that writer talked about how Kylie ?refused to complain.? The writer usually mentioned it right after Kylie bitched about something. As is her right - it?s the contradiction in the text that bothered me, and the idea that we?re supposed to be seeing Kylie as a good-natured cancer survivor (which she is, honestly) that would never complain and always be upbeat and positive. So? it?s not enough that she survives, now she can?t even complain, ever? Oh, and Kylie is so full of sh-t about the Botox. Look at that magazine cover again if you don?t believe me.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had any hot pictures of Kylie Minogue on the site, probably because as the old folks say, she’s in the afternoon of her hotness. Here she is looking pretty good for her age filming scenes from an upcoming video surrounded by a gaggle of

I don’t know how old Kylie Minogue is these days, but she may be getting to the point where photoshoots like these are starting to look a little inappropriate. Actually, after a few drinks I’m usually up for a cougar or two. If they keep her face covered with masks and

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Kylie Minogue, at least not in a sexy outfit, here she is signing autographs the other day. Let’s be clear, I didn’t say she looked good in the outfit, but it’s see through and has potential. I bet it would look great

To the delight of her Stateside fans, Kylie Minogue will embark upon her first North American tour this this fall. The singer — who is a superstar overseas but last registered a U.S. smash with "Can't Get You Out of My Head" in 2002 — will make five stops in the U.S. and one in Canada. If the production values of her previous European tours are any indication, the show will be elaborate.
"I've wanted to tour America and Canada for years and know that fans have been waiting a long time for this," said Minogue. "I'm thrilled that the opportunity has finally arrived."

Kylie Minogue is totally awesome. She was on “Neighbours” and then she sang “Locomotion” and then I think she kinda disappeared for awhile, but she exploded again with her Fever album and has been utterly delightful ever since. She’s super gorgeous and her concerts are escapades of glittery spectacle, and she’s a tiny little elfin thing (only five feet tall) who told cancer that it smells and has fat ankles and then she kicked it right in the teeth. She rocks the casbah, and she’s in the May ‘09 issue of Elle UK.
C’mon baby, do the locomotion
I know you’ll get to like it
If you give it a chance now
C’mon baby, do the locomotion
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It’s easier than learning your ABCs
So come on, come on
Do the locomotion with meeeeeee
You gotta swing your hips now
C’mon baby
Jump up, mmm jump ba-a-ack
Oh well I think you got the kna-a-ack
That shit’s gonna be stuck in your head for the rest of the afternoon. You’re welcome!

Kylie Minogue is on the cover of Elle magazine in the UK, and it's safe to say that she is still very hot! The only other time Kylie has been seen on NewsToob was in a bikini, but these pictures show the super successful singer in a more artistic form of hotness. Doesn't mean much to me, I'll take 'em however artsy they may be. All I know is that Kylie Minogue is still a bonafide hottie!
