Kylie’s Heartache

Kylie Minogue, the pint-sized Aussie queen of Pop, will continue on her UK tour in Brimingham Monday night, nursing a broken heart.

Last week, she split from her long-time boyfriend James Gooding, citing photographs in the press of James with various girls as being a big factor in her decision. And who can blame her? James was photographed coming out of clubs and parties with sociallite Beverley Bloom, Sophie Dahl and Kylie-lookalike model Rosemary Ferguson. It’s reported that when Kylie confronted James with the photographic evidence, he would deny anything was going on. So, Kylie decided enough was enough.

We wish Kylie well – her brand new single – Love At First Sight – is due out at the end of month.

Enrique The Diva Mimes At A Concert

Promoters say Enrique Iglesias mimed at a concert at a ski resort, seemingly because of the thin air.

The 15,000-strong crowd at the show in Austria booed him after turning up an hour late. Why exactly was he late? The reason given was because Enrique really needed his beauty sleep and so stayed in a bit longer.

The show, in which the ‘Escape’ singer was to perform, was to mark the end of the skiing season in Ischgl.

Onlookers said that practically all present at the event started booing when Enrique tried to speak after singing and fans realised his microphone wasn’t working.

Ischgl marketing manager Birgit Bader confirmed Enrique had been using playback for at least part of the performance.

She said: “It’s not surprising that he was using playback, our resort is at a very high altitude and it’s hard for people who are not used to it to get their breath. We are at 2,300 metres and the air is pretty thin up here.”

She also confirmed Enrique had been late for the concert because he wanted to take his time getting up.

She said “He likes having beauty sleeps and just didn’t seem to want to get out of bed in the morning. That’s why he was 30 minutes late for the press

conference. And after that he wanted to take his time over breakfast and have a shower again. That’s why he was an hour late for the concert.”

Ok – one question? What’s the word for the male equivalent of a diva, again? I know there’s a word for it but it just seems to be lost on me right this instance.

Oops! Britney’s Not A Virgin

One of the hotly debated subjects in the music industry would have to be whether or not Britney’s a virgin. At last the cat’s out of the bag. Or at least, that’s what the papers are saying. Now it seems, the words of Madonna’s song, ‘Like a Virgin’, may no longer apply to the princess of pop, Britney Spears, 20, or even N’Sync’s Justin Timberlake, 21, like it previously did.

According to her former boyfriend, Justin, he said that Britney built her career on the boast she would not have sex before marriage.

Britney, a strict Baptist, always maintained she had not jumped into beds with any of her boyfriends and that she never slept with anybody to get to where she is today.

“Everyone thinks she is still a virgin but that is a major joke. We both lost our virginity a while ago and please I should know.” said Justin who is alleged to have told a passenger on an airplane.

The whole Justin and Britney stories escalated to an all-time high sometime in March 2002 when it was reported that they were always fighting and hence decided to go their separate ways. The pop couple had been dating on and off since they were 12.

She admitted on a recent trip to Britain that she had regretted claiming she was a virgin plus even hinted that it may not be true.

“I wish I’d never said anything about it,” she told TV host Frank Skinner.

I simply have no idea what to make of this write-up. It may be just publicity, all in the hopes of making sure their names still stay in the tabloids. Or maybe it’s just rumours, perhaps? Whatever it is, you decide.

allSTARS To Sing In A Cube And Also Slam The British Press

Sparkly teen sensations allSTARS are set to bring Central London to a standstill later this week when they perform tracks from their approaching album in a glass cube, believe it or not!

Fans and passers-by will be able to see the elegant pop-5-piece doing what it is they do best, performing good quality pop numbers that is, all outside the HMV store in London’s Covent Garden on May 2nd at 11am encased in Nintendo’s seven-foot Clear Cubes.

There, allSTARS, which consists of Sam, Thaila, Ashley, Becky and Sandi will execute some of their biggest hits, as well as their gorgeous newie, ‘Back When’, plus one or two sneak preview tracks from their self-titled debut album which is released on May 13th.

The first 30,000 copies of the album sold will include a second CD of remixes.

The event also marks the release of Nintendo’s latest games console that’ll punch into stores the following day, May 3rd.Meanwhile, allSTARS seem to be all over the news these days, including them dissing the British press about the way the press writes write-ups. It has now looked like the tabs write anything they can dream up in the hopes to garner more readers and hence sales, be it the stories are false and damaging.

Thalia said “When you’re walking down the street and all those people have read something about you, they’ve perceived you in a certain way, which is completely false to the way it is, that can turn out nasty. It’s not fair.”

Luckily, allSTARS haven’t reached that stage in their career yet when the tabloids are tracing their every move and Becky divulged that she’s glad about it, saying “It’s nice to be successful like we are. Like carrying an ironing board across Ealing Broadway like I did this morning. You can do things like that without getting the papers saying ‘Oh my god!!! She bought an ironing board for GBP8.49’. So it’s cool not have to deal with any of the bad stuff that comes from being really famous.”

Well, it looks like that relative obscurity is all about to come to an end as their brilliant Cathy Dennis-penned single, ‘Back When’, settles itself onto a respectable slot in the Top 20 region of the British single chart this weekend.

Boyzone’s Keith Duffy Manages Boyband, Broken Hill

Former Boyzone stud Keith Duffy has taken a leaf out of Ronan’s book and decided to co-manage a boyband, entitled Broken Hill, made up of five boy pop fans like Andy, Marc, Enzo, Jon and Jay-B, all aged somewhere between 18-21 years.

Broken Hill? Out of the ordinary name for a “po-yband” if you ask me. But then again, this is me who said the same thing when Westlife first started out. Anyway, I digressed. Broken Hill – named after the location where Boyzone shot the video for their single, ‘Isn’t It A Wonder’ – are from Dublin who came together over the last year or so. Eventually, they hooked-up with Keith, who saw immediately that they had potential and, without hesitation, took them under his wing.

“If it was down to sheer talent then these boys would be number one all over the place,” Duffy says in a post on the “po-yband’s” official website, located proudly at www.brokenhill.ie.

“I truly believe that they have what it takes and I wouldn’t waste time on them if they didn’t. There’s been a tremendous reaction to them at any of the gigs they’ve played and we’re already talking to a number of record companies.”Keith also revealed that fellow Boyzone bandmate Mikey Graham is keen to produce tracks for the boys.

If you’re into boybands or you just want to go see cute young chaps, then head on down to their official site ASAP. The link’s above and you can read how they met, how they finally hooked up with Keith and all that. I’m pretty sure the Broken Hill’s cybersite will undergo a change real soon so before it shuts down for construction work, be in the know yeah.

Holly Valance Looks Set To Kiss Her Very First No.1

According to unofficial single numbers, Holly Valance, the lovely Australian vocalistress, looks all set to have her first number one placing in the official UK singles charts this Sunday.

Apparently, reports have established the fact that Holly, who fights for the top of the charts with Moby, has topped midweek sales with her debut track ‘Kiss Kiss’.

Turkish singer, Tarkan, first did the catchy ‘Kiss Kiss’, but it was in Turkish, entitled ‘Simarik’ {pronounced Shimaruk> and it soon proved to be a huge hit. Holly’s version has the same background music but it’s all sung now in English.

But as we all have come to know nowadays, hearing just the song will not get the artiste the chart position he/she deserves. Hence, a music video is pretty much a necessity to help garner more sales, even better if it’s a controversial one, which is exactly what Holly did.

She has confessed that she decided to peel off her clothes in the video for her debut single so that she’d make an impact on the charts. She also added that she simply had no intention of trying to outdo Kylie’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ clip.Speaking to a magazine recently, the Neighbours starlet explained “I’m not competing against anybody. I don’t want to look like anyone and I don’t want to sound like anyone. I just want to be me. Kylie’s beautiful and she did a good job with that song but no way was I thinking ‘Right, I’m going to compete with her.'”

If you were actually thinking that she actually was naked in the video, think again. Holly has also told the press that she was in reality wearing a flesh coloured bikini in the shots in which she appears to be totally naked.

“I thought we needed some controversy, otherwise I’m going to be seen as Flick for the rest of my life. I may as well come in with a bang… So it’s basically for my entry into the musical world. I don’t think I’ll do another naked scene again.”

Meanwhile, Holly is already looking forward to her next single, which she says is a different kettle of fish altogether.

“See that’s what I want. Real variety ok. I mean, just take a look at Madonna. She’s done some pretty risque stuff in her time and it’s only brought her to the attention of more and more and more people.”

The Bollywood-like ‘Kiss, Kiss’ has, by now, dropped into your favourite music outlet so go grab a copy.

The Dish On Why Victoria’s So Slim

I, Kele Harvey, am going to share with all my fellow beautiful people logged in to Pop-Music.com the reason, directly off the mouth of my fave skinny dude, David Beckham, why all our fave sensations are all so friggin’ petite, guy or girl.

Using his ‘Not Such An Innocent Girl’ Mrs as a fine example, David, who makes this comments to a leading female magazine, says the reason why both him and his wife are so slim because they have vigorous love-making sessions, what with him being an animal in bed.

In the interview conducted by the woman’s magazine, David also denies rumours that Victoria underwent fertility treatment, saying the couple had been waiting for the right time to have a second child because of their hectic schedules.He also said that before Victoria became pregnant, he enjoyed “practising” for a while.

Asked if the reason for the former Spice Girl’s slim figure was the fact that he was an animal in bed, David replied “That’s definitely one of the true ones!”

The soccer star, in addition, also mentioned that he loves being a gay pin-up idol and icon.

So, there you have it guys. Sex makes our pop sensations elfins, huh? Wonder what Kylie does to be so small? Think about this, chaps.
