To be annoyed with Kylie Minogue?

She’s on the One Show. My son looked up her age as he didn’t believe she could be pushing 60. She looks 30. What the heck?

I've got no reason to like or dislike her, though as a child I was a fan when she started her solo career. I did read many times she's not a particularly nice person and doesn't have any friends. Which is sad but don't know how true that is.

Noooo! Kylie can't be horrible. Please no. She went out with Michael Hutchence and he seemed adorable pre-drug addiction.

I've never read that and wonder why you'd post that.

Is it my ears or does her voice sound bad? (I can't bitch about her looks, I've got to bitch about something!)

I love her but she’s never been a strong singer.

Enko · 05/12/2025 19:42

While I think she is beautiful I do not agree she looks in her 30s IMO she looks in her early to mid 50s

A few years ago women used to get a bit nervous whenever I was around their husbands or boyfriends (I really don't know why as I had absolutely no interest in their cruddy old partners). Nowadays they're really blasé about it because I am older and have gained weight (weight is so ageing, I find). I haven't seen Kylie but I am guessing she is very thin and petite.

You haven’t seen Kylie…?!!

3678194b · 05/12/2025 19:42

Because personality is a more credible asset than looks or being a 'diva' as so many are these days

Forget Hutchence, she's had JCVD, and at the height of his coke habbit.. I can only begin to imagine what a ride with him was like 😅

I've also never heard that - quite the opposite in fact, from people who've actually worked with her.

I could never be annoyed with Kylie.

TroysMammy · 05/12/2025 19:46

I'm the same age as Kylie, just a bit shorter and petite. I've never had kids or fillers and on a good day don't look my age (I've been told). I can't sing though and I doubt it's our Welsh genes either.

GumFossil · 05/12/2025 19:47

When she was with Michael Hutchence, she suddenly oozed sexiness.

Love kylie but who is JCVD?

ThePoshUns · 05/12/2025 19:47

How did I not know about JCVD? Although I prefer Mh myself.
Kylie is just gorgeous

Fridaynightjustisntthesame · 05/12/2025 19:48

Def go for Mh over Jcvd

There’s no way Kylie is a horrible person!

She has never been the best vocalist but by fuck she has something. I have been a fan since the cheesy days when you got slated for liking her. I don’t know what it is that gave her the longevity, but she can sing, sure she isn’t a Whitney or Mariah but she has a decent enough voice to have given her a massive career. Her fan base is so diverse, she is an absolute icon. She looks incredible and has obviously worked hard to remain as healthy as possible. Money helps of course!

Jean-Claude Van Damme. They had an affair during the filming of Street Fighter.

Tigerbalmshark · 05/12/2025 19:50

Oh come on she doesn’t look 30 years younger! Fifties with a lot of work done - she has that Fox News anchor look. I like her music a lot but she doesn’t look like a 30 year old in any way.

AngelicKaty · 05/12/2025 19:51

GumFossil · 05/12/2025 19:17

My son said ‘she’s 5 years older than YOU! with incredulity. Marvellous.

You should have said to your DS "Yes dear, having kids ages you prematurely!" 😂😂😂

Been a fan almost 40 years and this is the first time I have ever read this.

I'm wondering who Troy is?

Kylie is definitely not a horrible person. My cousin worked with her a good few years ago and said she's lovely and very kind.

I very much doubt she's an awful person. JCVD is also lovely, if a little bit mental.

PersephonePomegranate · 05/12/2025 19:53

I thought you were going to say you were annoyed with her for fucking her face up! I think she looks bloody awful. Her face looks postively plastic.

Just my opinion and obviously no reflection on her character. I do find it disappointing that so many women bow to pressure to look 'youthful'. They don't look younger IMO, they look like older women desperately trying to pretend they're not middle aged and older. They're just perpetuating the idea that older women are useless. Still, I do understand it though, and it's not her job to be anything for anyone else.

Why do you have to bitch about something?

She has always taken care of herself, but don't discount the fact that those people in her World, have the best cooks, personal trainers, Doctors etc. They can afford the finest, organic food. I highly doubt she fills herself with poor quality grub!

You are not going to see Kylie battling it out at the yellow sticker fridge in Asda! Part of her job is to look as good as possible and given her resources she will have the best of everything. I really like her, not her music especially but her whole personna. I wish she would write her autobiography, she has an interesting life.

She has a mahoosive gay fan base
