Kylie Minogue is winging her way back home from a national tour this June. Kylie’s Aphrodite Les Foiles tour will take in the major capitals, starting with Brisbane on June 3.

Expect a grand spectacle when Kylie touches down. The show apparently features multiple sets, a big golden horse, and water features. Then there is the set list, which combines newies from Aphrodite with plenty of old favourites.

Melbourne ex-pats Gypsy & The Cat are the unlikely support act. Pop princess meets indie darlings? Interesting!

Kylie Clip Banned in Asia

When Kylie Minogue released her single “All the Lovers” in June, we said the sexy music video was the best part about it. But it seems that several Asian countries don’t agree as they’ve banned the raunchy clip from their screens.

Television stations in several countries including Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia won’t play the music video which features “all the lovers,” gay and straight indulging in a serious make-out session.

“I think, yes, it’s sexy but I also think it’s very touching and sensual and the message is love,” Kylie told Spanish private television station Cuatro when quizzed about the controversy.

I have to agree with her. It’s sexy but hardly pornographic. This sort of thing just makes you glad to live in (mostly) open-minded Australia, and in a world with the internet where anyone can see anything they please! So if you haven’t watched it yet, here it is for your viewing pleasure!

Kylie Minogue Plays with Scissor Sisters in Melbourne

Melbourne music fans got lucky last night when Kylie Minogue joined old pals Scissor Sisters on stage at Festival Hall.

Kylie joined the British dance band for “Any Which Way,” and then returned to the stage during the encore for a stripped back performance of her latest single “All The Lovers.” You can see that on the video below. As with most live recordings the quality isn’t perfect, but it’s still worth persevering with for the fans who missed out!

Kylie Announces Aussie Promo Tour for “Aphrodite”

With Danni Minogue about ready to pop with baby number one, it’s no great surprise that her sister Kylie will be back on home soil soon to play aunty. With her album Aphrodite hitting stores on July 2, it’s also no surprise to hear Miss Minogue will hit the promotional trail while she’s in Oz.

Kylie will launch her five-day media blitz on July 21. There’s no word yet on what that will entail, or whether fans will have the chance to get up close and personal, but I promise to bring you all the details when they come to hand.

Kylie Minogue Announces “Aphrodite” Album with Teaser Video

Kylie Minogue’s website has gone into meltdown with the announcement that her next album will be named Aphrodite. I guess that’s what happens when you make an announcement that you’ll make an announcement a day before to generate some hype!

At any rate, Kylie’s 11th studio album will hit record stores on July 5. It will be launched with the single “All The Lovers,” which gets a June 28 release.

If you can’t wait that long, check out this 30-second teaser video. I must say what’s here kind of hurts my ears, but spin it in a club and I might be interested. I’ll reserve my judgement until I hear the vocals; Kylie’s always had a knack of hooking me in with a catchy chorus.

Kylie Minogue Announces North American Tour

America’s never really embraced our Kylie like other global destinations, but the pop princess is going to give it another shot. She’ll take her acclaimed X tour to North America later this year.

The flashy show has taken an estimated $70 million in ticket sales so far, but lukewarm American sales of the X album make this a bit of a gamble. It didn’t even reach gold status there, selling just 36, 000 units.

But let’s wish Kylie well! Hopefully this tour could be just the thing to turn the Americans onto Ms Minogue! Here are the dates!

30 September 2009 – Fox Theater, Oakland
3 October 2009 – The Pearl, Las Vegas
4 October 2009 – Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles
7 October 2009 – Chicago, The Congress Theater
9 October 2009 – Air Canada Centre, Toronto
11 October 2009 – Hammerstein Ballroom, New York

Kylie Minogue’s Tattooed Toy Boy

I’m not exactly sure when’s the appropriate time in a relationship to tattoo your lover’s name on your body, but something tells me Andres Velenscosco Segura’s moving too fast.

Kylie Minogue’s Spanish beau is so besotted that he’s been branded with her name. It seems like a pretty big leap to take for someone you’ve only dated since last October.

“Andres knows how insecure the ten-year age gap makes her feel and this gesture has really boosted her happiness,” a source told The Sun newspaper.

Apparently the tattoo is especially meaningful for Kylie because Andres’ only other is his mother’s name Lucia.

Call me a cynic, but something tells me Andres’ is going to regret that grandiose gesture of love in a couple of years!
