KYLIE: Kylie, The Faghag!

I normally speak of the one and only Kylie Minogue in the highest possible way, but after watching her highly-publicised and self-commissioned docomuntary, White Diamond, last week I am stunned by what a fag hag she is.

By definition - although it's not an actual word - 'fabhag' is slang for a gay man's female friend. Quite early on in her documentary, filmed with her Creative Director, Will Baker, Kylie praises the man who is, she claims, her 'gay husband'! Yuck!

Unlike 98% of other celebrities, one of the things I always admired Kylie for was for keeping her private life private. This documentary was marketed as a 'personal portrait' of Kylie Minogue on her return to the stage after her cancer ordeal: after sitting through the two-hour director's cut, I learn't nothing new about the pop princess, except of her frequent exhaustion whilst on tour and her love for her Creative Director/Gay Husband.

To me, a personal portrait should contain some insight into feelings relating to her cancer ordeal, perhaps some previously-unknown information about her loves and hates, some family info perhaps. All we got was lot's of clowning around backstage (admittedly among a crew of good looking male dancers!) and occasional references to how exhausting her work is, along with a shot of her Creative Director/Gay Husband's emotional moment when Kylie's sister, Dannii Minogue, turned up to do a duet with older sister, Kylie! Snap out of it, you poof!

What can I say? Don't buy it! Kylie should just stick to what she is known for: her music!
