Pete Waterman rescheduling Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan reunion

The Australian pop stars were set to perform their 1988 duet Especially For You live in London's Hyde Park on 11 July (12) but the Hit Factory event was called off due to heavy rain. Waterman has now sparked speculation of a festive reconciliation between the pair by announcing plans for a December (12) gig at the O2 Arena in the capital, according to the Press Association. He says, "We are going to do it again at Christmas. We are going to do two nights at the O2 or at least one night, we've just got to confirm one artist who is due to go home for Christmas, I'll give you a clue there. "I just have to convince that artist to stay here until at least Christmas Eve and we can do it all the way we want to."

Kylie and Jason: Christmas reunion?

The on-stage reunion of Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan could be resurrected in time for Christmas. Pop producer and songwriter Pete Waterman had planned to reunite the pair at his outdoor Hit Factory concert, but it was cancelled earlier this month because of safety fears due to heavy rainfall and mud in London's Hyde Park. The concert was due to feature some of the acts Waterman helped into the charts over the years, including Sonia, Bananarama and Dead Or Alive. But Pete said the plans had to fit around one of the stars - thought to be either Kylie or Jason - who wants to "go home" in December. He said: "We are going to do it again at Christmas. "We are going to do two nights at the 02 or at least one night, we've just got to confirm one artist who is due to go home for Christmas, I'll give you a clue there." He added: "I just have to convince that artist to stay here until at least Christmas Eve and we can do it all the way we want to."

But there's no chance of missing the Australian star's latest cinematic turn as she plays a lesbian in a new horror romance.

Kylie Minogue has admitted to being surprised that she is still working in the music industry. The singer recently released new single 'Timebomb' as part of her K25 anniversary celebrations, and confessed that she looked like a "complete idiot" while shooting the music video. "When we were shooting down the busiest street in Soho, I worked with an in-air monitor," Minogue told Vevo . "I must have looked like a complete idiot because I'm strutting down the street singing to absolutely nothing!" Talking about her revealing-cut black mini dress, she added: "That was a very cheeky little outfit. People don't believe it, but I do get very shy and timid. I was like, 'Oh god please, can't there be more to this?'" The star recently unveiled a brand new retrospective collection titled The Best of Kylie Minogue , but insisted that she found it hard to compile the tracklist. "It wasn't the easiest to choose the songs th

Its a little hard not to, considering were seeing them everywhere. A definitive example would be the throw-down that happened last night. Okay, its not a throw-down, but wed like to call it one.

She ended up making the outfit look unbelievably elegant with bronze heels, a large white clutch, sexy wavy hair and nude makeup.
