Kylie Minogue: Im not shiny and happy all the time

Image
Were used to thinking of Kylie as a very happy, smiley, shiny lady. Someone who you could do well to describe as bubbly, if only bubbly didnt also sometimes mean a bit chubby. But, as it turns out, she has her off days like the rest of us, and how shes feeling inside doesnt always match up to the carefree person we see on the outside. She admitted: "No-one's shiny and happy all the time. There are other sides of me that an experience like this has allowed me to explore," In the interview with Total Film , she said: "My persona is 'Kylie'. As soon as I step out of my house I have that projection of me. But that isn't necessarily who I am. What face do I show?" She revealed that her desire to project this image, to play at being the persona, helped her overcome breast cancer, which she was diagnosed with in 2005. "Possibly because I was diagnosed mid-tour, that was my goal, to get back and perform. I just realised that no, this is what I do, and I...

Kylie Minogue Kylie Minogue isn't happy "all the time". The 44-year-old singer accepts she is blessed to have such an incredible career but admits she can become frustrated and she was pleased to return to acting in forthcoming movie 'Holy Motors' because it allowed her to explore other sides of her personality. She said: "No one's shiny and happy all the time. There are other sides of me that an experience like this has allowed me to explore. "My persona is 'Kylie'. As soon as I step out of my house I have that projection of me. But that isn't necessarily who I am. What face do I show?" In 2005, Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer and battling the disease left her so ill, she couldn't even concentrate on watching a movie.

Jason's technicolour life

Refreshingly honest: Jason Donovan. Photo: Peter Brew-Bevan It's late at night in the outback nsw town of Broken Hill, and Jason Donovan, former Neighbours star, four-time UK pop-chart-topper and breaker of millions of hearts in the late '80s, is in the street revving up a posse of drag queens for a night on the town. They are filming for the forthcoming reality-TV series I Will Survive , a show that subjects mincing young wannabes to the trials depicted in The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert , the winner scoring a major part in yet another musical version. A 50-something drinker in the pub looks out the window and asks what's going on. I tell him what I know, whereupon he inquires as to whether Jason Donovan is "that queer chef", adding, "The face rings a bell." I spent a lot of sleepless nights, miserable and crying, feeling crazy, when it should have been the best time of my life. The ironies here are thicker than the make-up: Donovan is...

A pinch of movies, rain and Kylie Minogue

Another American film, inspired by two people who the director happened to spot on a crowded Manhattan street, Jack and Diane is a story about two young girls who are drawn to each other but cannot entirely sustain their relationship. The film has a cameo by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. Lore played to a packed hall and got an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience. Diane, the younger of the two girls, is going through a transitional phase of adoloscene and is unable to fully explain her confused emotions. Here, the maker employs a unique technique where a deformed monster is fleetingly seen -- that is a supposed channel to the chaotic feelings of Diane. More than following a stringent plot, the film tracks the emotions of its characters as they evolve in their relationship. The theme here is the universality of love and also the challenges of sustaining it without complicating matters. The film has sincere performances by actors Juno Temple and Riley Keough and heartf...

Kylie Minogue is due to reunite with Jason Donovan in December

However he is now hoping to get the former on and off-screen couple together at the end of the year to perform in at least one show. Pete 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." Jason and Kylie - who were briefly a couple and co-starred in Australian soap opera 'Neighbours' - didn't rule out performing their song 'Especially For You' at a later date when the recent incident occurred. The 44-year-old singer-and-actor tweeted: "Well... you never know, I'm sure we'll get another chance!! Fingers crossed."
