Kylie Minogue meets sick children

Pop star Kylie Minogue thrilled sick children in Scotland by holding a special meeting with them before her performance in Glasgow.

Minogue is currently performing on the British leg of her Aphrodite Les Folies tour. The singer says she was happy to meet the kids after she was contacted by local charity fundraiser Les Hoey to arrange a meeting with them.

She spent quality time as she chatted and posed for pictures with the kids backstage at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, reports contactmusic.co.uk.

"It's amazing what meetings like these can do for the kids. I can't thank Kylie enough,"Hoey told Scotland's Daily Record.

Kylie Minogue spends GBP 10m on designer costumes for latest tour

Pop singer Kylie Minogue has apparently forked out almost 10 million pounds on designer costumes for her latest tour.

The singer, who kicked off the UK leg of her Aphrodite world tour in Cardiff last night, was dressed by Dolce and Gabbana.

She wore gold costumes encrusted with Swarovski crystals and real pearls, a chiffon gown so sheer it "looks like smoke" and a chain-mail Barbarella-inspired dress covered in priceless vintage brooches.

All her backing dancers and singers have also been decked out by the Italian designers.

"Kylie's petite but perfectly proportioned and looks stunning in whatever she wears," the Daily Express quoted a D and G spokeswoman as saying.
