Pop star Kylie Minogue is planning to backpack around the world when she finishes her next tour.
The singer threw herself back into music after successfully beating breast cancer in 2006, and is about to embark on her second tour in two years. But Minogue is already planning a big escape as soon as the road show wraps.
She says, “After the next tour I’d love to just put on a backpack and go.” The 39-year-old was bitten by the travel bug when she took a week’s vacation after being given the cancer all clear.
She tells U.S. magazine Interview, “Just after I finished my treatment, I didn’t want to rush back to London or Paris – the two places I’d associated with being ill – so I went to Sri Lanka. “I remember feeling truly happy there because I had some privacy. I was with people who didn’t look at me in the same way as people do at home, and who, with the tsunami and civil war, had suffered so much more than I had. “It was just one week but it was worth a million weeks.”

Queen of soul Aretha Franklin has topped a poll of the worst-dressed celebrities due to her fondness for fur.
The lists compilers, animal rights charity PETA, said that the singer had been propelled into the number one spot after donning a “massive” fur coat at the recent Grammy Awards.
Previously the organization’s vice president had sent the singer a letter criticizing her Grammy fashion faux pas.
According to a report on Access Hollywood he advised her to follow in the footsteps of Mariah Carey and donate her furs to charity, adding that they make her look like a “clown”.
Other celebrities featured on the list included Eva Longoria, who was singled out for her “trashy furs” and Lindsay Lohan who has donned fur on the red carpet.
Even pop princess Kylie Minogue garnered enough votes for an inclusion after she was seen sporting a python purse “at a time when there was controversy about skins and how these animals are killed by being impaled upon a tree”.
Representing male celebrities was rock god Marilyn Manson who was criticized for his love of leather.
British supermodel Kate Moss was branded a “super tramp” by the organization for the fur components of her wardrobe.
Tens of thousands of internet users voted online to decide which celebrities were fashion criminals.
Yvonne Taylor, a representative of the charity, said: “When fans see this cruelty and their idols appear to encourage it, they are appalled.”

Kylie Minogue has said that she’s terrified about performing at the forthcoming Brit Awards – because has hasn’t even started to plan her onstage routine. The singer is expected to put on a stunning live show at the February 20th London ceremony, but she only has seven days to prepare.
She previously wowed the Brits audience with a raunchy performance with Justin Timberlake in 2003 but she fears she might not be able to put on a show of equal standard this year.
She says, “I’ve yet to figure out what I’m doing and it’s only a week to go. I’ve spent the whole night panicking, trying to think what I’m going to say and hoping that something comes out.”

In the wake of all of the madness that surrounds Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue has offered her some advice:
Kylie said: “I wish someone would write a manual about fame because it’s not easy. I’m always loath to say that because there are a lot more difficulties out there that people deal with every day – but when fame is handed to you, it is unique.
“It’s not to the same extreme, but I can remember having a mini-meltdown myself – and unless you’ve got good people around to support you, you’ve got a problem.
“Who knows what is going on in her life? Britney isn’t that young any more. I think she will still come back but it’s like she’s taken an extended holiday.
“Whatever help she needs, she should reach out and get it.”
Wise words. Hopefully Britney can get her act together and make a real comeback. We can hope, right?
