KYLIE: Miss Minogue, OBE

On this very day, Kylie Minogue has paid a visit to Buckingham Palace to collect her honour. Miss Minogue, now appointed an Officer of the British Empire for her contribution to music, has certainly resign her cancer ordeal to the past.

In attendance were parents Ron and Carol, her sister Dannii (forever in Kylie's shadow these days it seems) and her manager, Terry, who I am sad to say still hasn't responded to my plea to meet this wonderful woman.

Kylie continues to go from strength to strength, which is more than I can say for the French so-called actor who dumped her. What's his name again? Life after the frog seems to get better and better for Miss Minogue!
