POP princess Kylie Minogue says she's contacted police over a Twitter follower who has been making threats.

The 43-year-old was inundated with messages of support from fans after she revealed on Twitter that one of her followers had been sending her threatening messages.

"I love 1,033,861 of you LOVERS, but 1 is not a lover, just a deluded weirdo making threat #andthatdoesnotmakeyouspecial SO..police alerted," she tweeted this morning.

The songstress, who is due to perform at Mardi Gras next month, was forced to call in police in 2003 to investigate a series of threatening letters after receiving 700 missives at her home and office.
