Kylie Minogue offered UK reality TV role

Star Australian diva Kylie Minogue could follow in the footsteps of her younger sister Dannii after being offered a role as judge on an upcoming UK reality singing talent show. The BBC has offered the petite pop princess STG1 million ($A1.5 million) to appear on its new production The Voice, British tabloid The Sun reports. The valuable offer for the popular 43-year-old comes as the broadcaster sheds jobs and cuts back shows to save cash. An unnamed source confirmed to The Sun that the offer has been made, but added 'we won't break the bank for anyone'. BBC's website is calling for contestants with 'unique and distinctive' talent for The Voice, which has already run a successful season in the US. 'Four of the biggest names in music are looking for incredible singing talent to compete for the title of The Voice UK,' the website reads.

The Aussie singer, who recently went back to brunette after years as a blond, looked classic in a black roll neck sweater and mini skirt as she arrived at her management's office in London.

Minogue reached number two in the UK singles chart with 'The Locomotion' back in 1987, while her second cut 'I Should Be So Lucky' marked her first number one hit in the same year. The Australian performer has since gone on to sell over 68 million records worldwide, as well as selling out a collection of flamboyant world tours. Minogue recently colle

Kylie in BBC talent show talks

Kylie Minogue is in talks to star in the BBC's new talent show The Voice. The singer is being lined up to appear as a coach in the singing show which has already been a hit in the United States. Sources close to the programme said the star's representatives had asked for a fee of around 2.5 million but insisted any pay packet would be less than 1 million. The BBC has been criticised in the past for paying large salaries to its stars and recently unveiled plans to axe 2,000 jobs as it tries to make savings of 20%, worth 670 million a year by 2016/17. Chart star Jessie J has already signed up to the show, which is being seen as the BBC's answer to The X Factor. In the show, contestants will win through purely on the strength of their voices rather than how they look, with "blind" auditions. Minogue's sister Dannii spent four years as a judge on The X Factor and has been tipped to appear in the next series of Britain's Got Talent. The US version of The Voice

BBC's 1m bid for Kylie Minogue

The staggering deal will cause a major backlash as the hard-up Beeb axes 2,000 workers and ditches programmes to save cash. But it could've been worse. Her original demand was 2.5MILLION. The new offer would put Kylie, 43, on double what Bruce Forsyth gets for the BBC's biggest show, Strictly Come Dancing and twice what ITV pay Tulisa for X Factor. A BBC source confirmed the offer was close to 1m, adding: "We won't break the bank for anyone." Am.i.or.not? ... rapper Will.i.am A Kylie deal could stop heavily-tipped rapper Will.i.am being on The Voice, because the show can't afford both. But Jessie J has already signed as a judge and chart legend Tom Jones is on the verge. A Beeb worker said: "Great. Kylie gets another million quid, we get the sack." c.robertson@the-sun.co.uk

Kylie Minogue, 2011 (Pic: Rex) Aussie pop princess Kylie has changed her hair more than we’ve had hot dinners since her Neighbour’s poodle perm. And last week she was sporting brunette tresses for a new film role. Here we chart Kylie’s life through her different dos. 1987 The young child star won our hearts (and Jason Donovan’s) in her Neighbours heyday playing Charlene Robinson with her bouncing blonde curls that sent us all reaching for the hair mousse and having dodgy home perms. 1989 The blonde curls get a severe chop as the girl-next-door ditches her clean-cut image and goes all rock and roll when she starts dating INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence. She went short and curly instead - not too dissimilar to her lover’s locks. 1995 Kylie duets with Nick Cave on “Where the Wild Roses Grow” and unveils a sultry new image to go with her new sexier sound. Her hair is even shorter and slick and makes her look more grown-up. 1996 Kylie releases her latest album “Impossible Princess” and
