Music Awards 2002, and the other one wears the silver ensemble from the
Fever Tour. Check out

While Kylie and Olivier spent
the festive season and the New Year together the rumour mongers have been
going mad. Reports that Kylie was pregnant,
and that she would be co-presenting this years BRIT Awards were some of the
many stories printed in the UK press. On a more positive note 'Slow' moves
up to #55 on the Top Chr/Pop 100 and is expected to make its Hot 100 debut
very soon as it is the most added song on US radio this week. It also breaks
the Top 20 Hot Dance Music/Club Play where it rises six places to #16. 'Body
Language' will be released in the US on February 10 to co-incide with the
promotional tour Kylie will undertake there.The release of 'Red Blooded Woman' will include the infamous Chemical Brothers remix of 'Slow' as well as some disco-tastic club remixes. Rumours of a 2004 tour later in the year are as yet unfounded - although keep checking here in case any dates are released. Kylie will promote the new single on various awards shows including the BRITS, NRJ Awards in France, and the Echo Awards in Germany. |

Kylie herself has confirmed that
'Red Blooded Woman' will be the second single to be lifted from the new
album in a French television interview. The album is selling much less than
expected as it drops from #14 to #25 in its third week on the UK charts.

DVD which is currently in post-production; it will include the full uncut
concert, as well as some bonus material such as interviews and video
projections. In

nominated in the Best Dance category for 'Come Into My World'. Kylie is also
shooting up the US Dance Airplay Charts where it has risen 20-17-15-13-11-9

album.

sections. 'Body Language' debuted on the UK charts at a slightly
disappointing #6, while in Australia it was held off by Delta Goodrem

| Kylie performed a special remix of 'Slow' at lthe MTV Europe Awards in Edinburgh. Dressed in a sultry black outfit, Kylie writhed on the floor before joining dancers with neon light sabres in a sexy routine. The single looks a dead cert to hit the top spot in the UK singles chart with around 44,000 copies sold. She has already hit #1 in Australia (going Platinum), Poland, and Croatia. In Ireland it is the highest new entry at #5 and looks likely to climb higher next week. In Finland she has her biggest hit there for ages as it makes #3.

Martinez, the excitement of the release of the new album and single, and how
she has decided to stop showing her derriere for a little while. On top of
this, she announced that she would be performing 12 songs at the forthcoming
Hammersmith concert - six of which will be tracks off the forthcoming

We've just heard two previews of
tracks from the forthcoming album. 'Secret (Take You Home)' is a slinky
electro/R&B hybrid with Blondie-esque raps and a catchy chorus while 'Hot
Blooded Woman' is reminiscent of Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me A River' with
its spooky piano and choir section set against US influenced beats and
bassline. The first chart placings for 'Slow' have appeared; in Croatia it
has already hit #1, in the UK the track climbs from #25 to #18 on the
airplay chart. The remixes of the track have been heating up clubland in the
UK as it climbs to #2 on the Cool Cuts Chart. Don't forget to tune in your

FMR have confirmed the
tracklisting for their release of 'Slow' in Australia:
CD1 Slow (Single Mix)/ Sweet Music/ Slow (Medicine 8 Remix)/ Slow (Video) CD2 Slow (Single Mix)/ Soul On Fire/ Slow (Radio Slave Mix)/ Slow (Synth City Remix)
This is not the only release confirmed by FMR. They have decided to take the recent UK/Europe releases of 'Greatest Hits' albums and create an ultimate collection that spans her career from 1987 - 1999. As Mushroom own the rights to licence all her material in Australia they have included all the singles plus a few extra bonuses. Not only will a CD be released, but also a DVD. However, the DVD will not include the 'Made In Heaven' or 'GBI' videos. Well done to FMR for giving fans what they want in Australia. Check the info out below:

Kylie features on the cover of
the November issue of ID Magazine. They describe the forthcoming albums like
"Janet Jacksons Control, electro both old and new, and there is a startling
mid tempo duet with singer Green Gartside on. Shes frisky with vocal
confidence...'Secret' has an 80's hip hop soul chorus from Lisa Lisa. Theres
intertextual references to 'Spinning Around' and 'La la la'.'Body Language'
is unmistakeably Kylie. Its as catchy as crabs". The article also talks
about her working with the Neptunes and how the album isn't R&B, but is
quite funky....and how her assistant wants her to perform old PWL classic
'Made In Heaven'. |

Airplay looks good for 'Slow'
with it being A-Listed on Radio One straight away, something that very
rarely happens. The song itself has divided fans with some saying it is
experimental, hypnotic, and the best thing she's ever done; others say it
sounds like it has been run up on a Casio keyboard and Kylie's vocals are
awful - let us know what you think by mailing us. The first play of the
'Slow' video will be on CD:UK on ITV at 3:20pm - make sure to set your
VCR's. Kylie has been nominated for two ARIAS, the prestigious Australian music awards. She is nominated for Best Female Artist and Best Pop Release for 'Come Into My World'. Don't forget that Kylie will be performing her new single at the 10th Annual European MTV Awards in Edinburgh on November 6th. Although, the 2CD set of 'Greatest Hits 1987-97' has been released in Canada and Poland, it is unlikely that the DVD will get a release, it was pulled at the last moment due to licencing problems. |

Kylie hit the headlines again
when it was revealed that police are investigating a stalker who has sent
her over 700 letters. The letters have been arriving at both her record
company and her own home in London. Kylie has denied that the letters
included death threats but it is likely that security surrounding her will
be beefed up. I think it's important to remember that Kylie is a human being
and that fans should respect her privacy; buy her music, see her shows,
but don't invade her personal space. Again Kylie was featured in the tabloids this time with claims that there will be no promotion for the forthcoming single and album because Kylie is hoping to be pregnant by Oliver Martinez. This is unlikely to be true, as Kylie is a workaholic and will put in 110% in to every project she does. Radio One have announced that they will get the first exclusive play of 'Slow'. The song will be played for the first time on Sara Cox's breakfast show at 8.10am.

EMI/Parlophone have used Kylie's
comeback release as an experiment to get single sales up. Both CD's will
only feature two or three tracks, which is pretty poor considering fans want more
value for their money not less. The b-side to Slow is even worse, as it will
actually appear on the album; considering the welath of unreleased tracks
for this project you would have thought that Parlophone would have
considered one of them for release. There are even rumours that the Chemical
Brothers have remixed 'Slow' for club release. Anyway, here is the release
tracklisting:
CD1 Slow (Single Mix)/ Slow (Medicine 8 Remix)/ Sweet Music/ Slow (Video) CD2 Slow (Single Mix)/ Soul On Fire 12" Slow (Extended Mix)/ (Radio Slave Mix)/ (Synth City Mix)
A new track recorded for the project has been discovered and is possibly being considered as a bonus track for the album; 'Cruise Control' is another production by Johnny Douglas. Also EMI have made slight changes to the album tracklisting, knocking 'Slow Motion' off the end of the album and revealing that 'Promises' and 'Obsession' are actually two seperate tracks, both produced by Johnny Douglas. The 'supposed' final listing for the album is:

The tracklisting we gave on the
16th September has been denied as 'real' by Parlophone, they say that apart
from 'Slow' none of the tracks from the previous listing even made the final
cut of the album, but they do exist. The title 'City Games' has also been denied by the record
company. News of the 'fake' tracklisting has been picked up by the press and
everyone from Capital FM to Ananova have been reporting on it. However, a
new tracklisting has been reported on
www.kylie.co.uk , it's listed as:

Music Week have confirmed that
the album is ready for release and that collaborators include Baby Ash, who
remixed 'Come Into My World'; Johnny Douglas, who produced 'Disco Down'; and
Karen Poole. Miles Leonard, head of A&R at Parlophone, has described the
record as taking "Kylie to another level...not only is the production
contemporary and innovative but the album is full of great pop songs". The
lead single, 'Slow', will get its first airing on radio on 6th October. A
tracklisting has surfaced with the following songs:
The Kylie calendar has officially made Kylie the biggest selling calendar girl of all time, selling 750,000 copies since her 1988 debut.

Kylie's record
company in Australia, FMR, have confirmed that a DVD of her videos from 1987
- 1998 will be released on the 3rd of November. This comes hot off the news
that BMG in Poland will be releasing a new DVD (see earlier news) later this
year. The DVD will not feature any alternative videos like the Greatest Hits
1987-92 UK version, neither will it include the promo clip for GBI due to
licensing agreements. The tracklisting will be:
The DeConstruction albums will also be released in Australia through FMR in their recently repackaged form on September 19th. It has been reported that Kylie will perform at the Rugby World Cup opening ceremony in Sydney. The event which will take place in October and will see Kylie headline with Thirty Odd Foot Of Grunt, Russell Crowe's band.

 Kylie was in the scorching sun of the French Riviera yesterday on a photoshoot for what is thought to be the front cover of her new album. With Bardot style make up and big hair, it was a throw back to the SexKylie era of 1991. Kylie wore a variety of outfits from a pleated mini skirt matched with bunches to a black see-through swimsuit. The press had a field day with Kylie's bum once more hitting the front pages. Pharrell Williams has confirmed to the Herald Sun that the track he is working on with Kylie is called 'Beat U'. The track is said to be a funky dancefloor filler. On 22nd September BMG/Zomba in Poland will release a compilation called 'Greatest Hits 1987 - 1997'. The tracklisting is the same as the double CD set released in the UK in December, however on CD2 it adds on 'Confide In Me', 'Put Yourself In My Place', 'Did It Again' and 'Breathe'. A DVD/Video will also be released with those tracks added on to the original tracklisting. A new cover for the compilation is included with a photo from the 'Better The Devil You Know' era.

 Kylie
has denied that her four month relationship with French actor, Olivier
Martinez, is on the rocks. Rumours of an affair with Angelina Jolie on the
set of his latest movie have been rife over the past few weeks. The
newspapers went into overdrive when Kylie was photographed jetting over to
Canada to meet with her boyfriend, the reporters stating 'to patch their
relationship up'. Kylie said on her latest trip to Montreal; “Of course I
am aware of what had been written in the Press, but this trip was like the
previous three I’ve made to Montreal to visit my boyfriend while he’s
filming.” So that's the rumours set straight.More rumours that Kylie will star in her first movie since Moulin Rouge in 2000. The movie called 'After The Laughter' is set in a retirement home for comedians. Kylie would be starring alongside comic Norman Wisdom and Sylvia Miles who have already signed up to be in the movie. While movie roles are rumoured Kylie's television career took a different angle. Kylie was 'kidnapped' outside her Chelsea home by Channel 4. The stupid stunt was actually a lookalike being filmed for a spoof tv show called 'Pulling Kylie'. The real Kylie slammed the prank saying; "I thought that was a really stupid thing for a TV crew to do. I was really surprised when I heard. I think they did act irresponsibly...I was just pleased with the quick reaction to what happened. I'm very happy that the police were here immediately, as soon as they were called. I would like to praise them for reacting so fast." Kylie will feature on Aussie singer Ben Lee's forthcoming album. The CD features his tracks covered by different artists. Kylie's track was recorded back in 1999 at the same sessions as when they duetted on the Duran Duran classic 'The Reflex'

Today Kylie launched the new longhaul marketing campaign for upmarket airline British Airways. Posing for photographers on a treasure chest and sunlounger against a backdrop of palm trees, the location could easily be mistaken for a tropical beach, instead it was a somewhat overcast Covent Garden. Kylie looked radiant in a pink sundress and killer heels. Kylie was nominated at this years Dancestar Awards in three categories. 'Love At First Sight' for Best Song, 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' for Best Dance Track, while Fischerspooner won Best Remix for their version of 'Come Into My World'. In other news the DeConstruction re-issues failed to set the charts alight, dropping short of even the top 200 in the UK. The re-issues have been extremely hard to find for fans due to BMG under-estimating demand and shipping extremely low numbers to retail outlets. There are rumours that Kylie is pregnant in this Sunday's tabloids, however these stories are completely unfounded as of yet. |

The re-issue albums have now
been put back a week, the new release date is 26th May. There are rumours

promotion of the albums. In South Africa 'Fever' the single has been
released, it rises this week from #24 to #16 where it is getting significant
airplay. There are rumours that Kylie will make some sort of appearance on
US television, possibly in a bit-part role in Charmed or 24, however these
whispers are as yet unfounded.

she has written a song in response to James Gooding kiss 'n' tell story last

last week in Dublin recording some tracks with Stannard and Gallagher who
produced and co-wrote 'Please Stay', 'In Your Eyes', and 'Love At First
Sight'. While in Dublin she also recorded some tracks with Karen Poole,
ex-Alisha's Attic star who also produced three tracks on Dannii's
forthcoming album. Kylie then moved on to Holland to work with the
producers behind Euro acts ATC and Milk Inc later on in the week. There are
rumours that while Kylie is promoting her new Love Kylie underwear range in
Australia this week she may have time to lay down some tracks with some top
dance producers.

relationship with Frenchman Olivier Martinez. They met in an LA hotel a
couple of weeks ago and have been seeing each other ever since. Martinez
will be fronting the next Giorgio Armani campaign, so obviously he shares a
little in common with her ex James who was a model for Hugo Boss.
Kylie has won Best International Breakthrough at the prestigious industry Music Week awards. Despite her originally getting top five successes in the eighties in the US, Music Week thought that enough time had passed between her chart successes for her to be seen as virtually a new artist in the US.
