BBC's radio 1 unveils unknown song

2012-01-31T20:19:00.000Z

Scott Mills was playing a track by Gotye earlier today and then it was claimed that it was a cover of a Dannii song. But it isn't and the female singer sounds nothing like Dannii.

Dannii has never released a track or lyrics that matches the 'Somebody That I Used To Know' song.

The Talent Show Story

2012-01-29T13:09:00.000Z

Dannii is indeed returning to the spotlight and yesterday the top judge was seen on 4th episode of 'The Talent Show Story' talking about The X Factor and how it became the phenomen it is today.

Next week they will look deeper into what happened between Dannii and America's Got Talent judge Sharon Osbourne.

Phone hacking update

2012-01-19T14:17:00.002Z

News International has admitted to phone hacking and have made settlements with a number of high profile victims. Dannii also now has joined the group who have settled their damages claim it's been confirmed today.

The victims' lawyers said the settlement agreements were based on NGN acknowledging senior executives tried to hide evidence.

"News Group has agreed to compensation being assessed on the basis that senior employees and directors of NGN knew about the wrongdoing and sought to conceal it by deliberately deceiving investigators and destroying evidence," the statement said.

Lawyers for the victims said they had obtained documents from News International that revealed its attempts to destroy evidence, partly thanks to the fact that the 12 solicitors' firms involved had joined forces to work together.

"As a result, documents relating to the nature and scale of the conspiracy, a cover-up and the destruction of evidence/email archives by News Group have now been disclosed to the claimants," their statement said.

"In the face of this overwhelming evidence, the 'rogue reporter' position has disintegrated and the range, scale and extent of phone-hacking has become clear."

Mark Thomson, a lawyer for some of the alleged victim, said:

All of the claimants have been extremely brave to take on and succeed against a massive and influential multinational media organisation.
They can take the credit for triggering the new police investigation, the parliamentary inquiries and the Leveson Inquiry. They should be very pleased with what they have achieved.

Sue Akers 'operation weeting' investigation and the Leveson inquiry continues.
Dannii can now put the past behind her and more forward.

Note: Gallery offline for some time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Australian Open

2012-01-16T10:02:00.000Z

Dannii was a special guest of the Australian open 2012. Earlier today she and Jim Courier welcomed the trophies and the diva also teamed up with kids for some fun and games which you can read about here.

A couple of days ago the telly queen popped up at Joe Robinsons, or 'Smokin' Joe as he beame known as on Au's Got Talent, gig. Dannii chatted with the former winner and got a CD signed especially for her.

On ITV the viewers can re-live some talent show moments and during the weekend Dannii was shown on The Talent Show Story from various X Factor moments.

Leveson inquiry

2012-01-09T16:20:00.000Z

Because of the phone hacking scandal and other criminal activities possibly going on in the British press, the Leveson inquiry was set up. Judge Lord Leveson's job is to look deeper at the culture, practices and ethics of the press.

The daily investigation has people in the media and public eye give witness to the inquiry and today Dannii's name popped up as The Sun's editor told the inquiry of the reporting of her pregnancy with Ethan. Because Dannii hadn't had the twelve week scan, The Sun decided not to print the story. Daily Mirror however did and Dannii sued the newspaper. The complaint was upheld:

PCC upholds complaints from Dannii Minogue over pregnancy story

The Press Complaints Commission has today upheld two complaints from Dannii Minogue against the Daily Mirror and the Daily Record, ruling that in both cases, "a regrettable lapse in editorial judgement" led to an invasion of her privacy in breach of Clause 3 (Privacy) of the Editors' Code of Practice.

The newspapers had published stories which reported that Ms Minogue was expecting her first child, despite the fact that she had not yet had her twelve week scan. They argued that publication could be justified on the grounds that the information about the pregnancy was already in the public domain, having appeared on the Sydney Morning Herald website the day before, as well as on a blog. This, they argued, meant that the information ceased to be private.

The Commission did not accept this argument. The references in the Sydney Morning Herald and the blog were speculative rather than confirmed, and did not mean that the information was so extensively in the public domain that it would have been perverse not to refer to it. It concluded "this was no more than common sense; otherwise, any reference online would represent automatic justification for a newspaper to publish otherwise intrusive material".

PCC Director Stephen Abell said: "This case is an important reminder to editors of the high standards required by Clause 3 (Privacy) of the Code around health matters. The Commission's case law in this area make absolutely clear the care the PCC expects newspapers to take when considering stories about pregnancy".

Judging time

2012-01-06T10:26:00.000Z

Welcome to 2012.
Let's kick off the new year with a flashback. Young Talent Time is back on TV down under and this year its Dannii's 30th anniversary connected to the show. It was in 1982 that she made her first appearance as a team member singing Sinatra's Who wants to be a millionaire. Check out the video in the left menu and re-live the moment.

30 years on Dannii is a celebrated TV profile having judged and mentored on mega talent shows such as X Factor and Got Talent. ITV is airing a 5 part series, starting Saturday, dedicated to talent shows. The telly diva can be seen giving her views on talent show moments.

New five-part series which examines the history of the talent show on British TV, with comments by those who were there - from early shows like Opportunity Knocks and New Faces to the global phenomenon of blockbusters like Pop Idol, The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. The first episode features how Susan Boyle came to epitomise the talent show dream, how Will v Gareth held the nation spellbound, and how Popstars ushered in a new era. Judge Nina Myskow reveals how she feels now about her cutting comments on New Faces 26 years ago. There is also a tribute to the late Marti Caine, who won New Faces in 1975 and returned to host the show in the 1980s. Many of the key players are interviewed: Simon Cowell, Ant and Dec, Susan Boyle, Gary Barlow, Piers Morgan, Tony Hatch, Dermot O'Leary, Nina Myskow, Nigel Lythgoe, Amanda Holden, Lenny Henry, Alexandra Burke, Dannii Minogue, Gareth Gates, Louis Walsh, JLS, Kelly Rowland, and One Direction.

There are some updates regarding the phone hacking lawsuit. The trial will take place next month in the U.K. According to a Bloomberg report News Corp is trying to make settlements with the victims of phone hacking however Dannii's lawyer Mark Stephens says that setting damages is the most important element.

Out of 36 victims who agreed to be in the trial or act as backups, half have settled or are near such deals, according to the document. It’s unlikely the settlements will prevent the trial from taking place and setting damages is the most important element.

Even if there are just a few cases left, the legal principles need to be clarified in this trial -- there is such a degree of uncertainty in the law. Privacy is an emerging tort in this country and there have only been a few cases that have gone to a full judgment.

Happy New Year

2011-12-31T13:16:00.000Z

For us Dannii fans, New Years Eve is celebrated the Aussie style. Down under it's now already 2012 and the stunner says it will be an amazing year!
Happy New Year from the diva

Although Dannii's 2011 was perhaps her most low key year for a long time, she did enjoy another successful year as our favourite entertainer. Aussie TV magazine Switched on listed her as no 3 on their top TV personalites list.

Why she's hot: AGT could lose Grant Denyer, Brian McFadden and Kyle Sandilands and still rate big but it would take a hit if it lost Minogue. She is pitch-perfect in her judging role. Anyone who has visited the set of AGT will testify Minogue is a charmer off-camera as well.

Check out her highlights in the left menu, catch up on all things 2011 on the blog and get ready for 2012..!

Joy To D World

2011-12-25T12:13:00.000Z

It's Christmas Day today and Dannii sent her love & kisses from down under.
So Happy Christmas to all the fans and to Dannii & her family.

See you in 2012

Dannii in TV battle?

2011-12-19T10:35:00.000Z

David Knox blogs on his TV Tonight blog about Channel 7's new promo for the goodies next year. Dannii is featured in the ad which the Aussie blogger says almost confirms her return to Australia's Got Talent. The footage is old though and was filmed at the beginning of the year.

In the U.K she is a 'good as confirmed' as well. Papers are stating that she will join Simon Cowell and co on Britain's Got Talent when it starts in january 2012.

Is Dannii caught in a TV network battle? When asked on Alan Carrs 'Chatty man' Dannii went for the Southparks funnybot reply "Awkward, awkward".
The telly diva who was awarded TV's best by Glamour Magazine is hot property in both continents.

Aussie Herald Sun picked up quotes from Tabitha's Hello Magazine interview where she spoke about Pippa Middletons Project D love.

In february next year the Mummy Mogul will be attending the Melbourne Business Chicks Breakfast where she will share her fashion experience as well as launch Project D.

Catching up

2011-12-17T10:32:00.000Z

That Disco Dannii is a rolling stone is no news to anyone. Now that she's based in Melbourne she's had time to catch up with everything. Like the progress of the ONJCWC.

In 2008 the diva walked the Great Wall Of China with Olivia Newton-John and friends to raise awareness of breastcancer and the cancer centre. She became an Ambassador for the project and has followed it's progress since.
Yesterday the stunner popped up on twitter with a snap of her and Manager Melissa Le Gear checking out the Austin hospital which launches next year.

A few days ago Dannii was trending in Melbourne & Sydney. It wasn't however happy news. Australian entertainer Molly Meldrum is in hospital injured after a fall and Dannii tweeted some loving words for him.

In fashion news Project D has released the S/S 2012 collection, Tabitha has shown off her baby belle to Hello! magazine and ModelCo has set up a site especially for their Fibre Last project.

In the U.K Matt Cardle is continuing his success with his debut album. On Loose Women there was a small mention of his former mentor who he says is 'awesome' and 'loves to bits'. The feeling is mutual as Dannii declared winning with Matt was her highlight of her time on the show.

Glitz & Glamour

2011-12-12T13:40:00.000Z

Yesterday it was the X Factor Grand Final in the U.K. The viewers crowned Little Mix the winners and it's officially the first time a group has ever won the show. However, Dannii winning with Matt Cardle last year remains the most watched final of the shows history with a massive peak of almost 20m!

The telly queen popped up on twitter on a mission in Sydney where she did a secret photoshoot for a magazine out soon. Dannii hasn't revealed anything about her future yet and so BGT and other rumours continue to spin from time to time.

Glamour magazine editor Jo Elvin says the Style Queens column is back in the Jan issue of the glossy magazine. According to an Icelandic article Dannii is no 4 on their annual best dressed list.

Decisions, decisions

2011-12-08T10:33:00.001Z

2012 is just around the corner and while Dannii has yet to decide where she will go next year,
Kris has made his decision. He is is staying down under.

It's been confirmed that Kris has signed a new 2 year contract with Myer. He will expand his role from catalogue and catwalk work and begin to take on more hosting, TV appearances and spokesmodel roles, it's been said.

The drama between Dannii and Sharon Osbourne is also considered TV gold by some. Now Americans have discovered the two telly divas feud. On e-onlines After lately TV show they were discussing it and others are digging up Mrs O's outburst on the Graham Norton show. Some are even downloading extracts from Dannii's book where she talks about their feud from her side of the story - My Story.

Dannii has said she is over their disagreements and Sharon has been surprisingly quiet for some time now. What has caused people to reignite the story is yet unknown.

Dannii pride

2011-12-04T11:00:00.000Z

While American 'comedian' Kathy Griffin made a comparison during a show in Oz and said: "Danni is like Hilary Duff, When you can’t get Hilary, you get Haylie"...
Dannii is the one you call when you want support against harassing, bullying, etc.

During the weekend gays gathered in Sydney fighting for their right to love. Dannii is supporting their marriage fight and as mentioned in the banner above here on the site, it's something that she feels strongly about. This year more people than ever turned up at the event putting pressure on Prime Minister Julia Gillard who is against same sex marriages.

Perez Hilton has asked Dannii to support a video by a bullied and depressed young man who posted a video on his youtube channel how close his is to end his life.

Dannii knows all about being hunted and harassed. Since late 80's she has been the media target of Rupert Murdochs and other nasty tabloids in the U.K & down under. During the Leveson inquiry viewers didn't just learn that apparently 'privacy is for paedos and is something evil',(say what?!) but Anne Diamond also explained the meaning of being a target and what it does to the person being the victim of it.

Dannii is one of the few who has survived the attacks, by keeping the focus on herself which is a strength that can only be admired. In the beginning of next year she will give evidence to the phonehacking investigation. Dannii has joined a test group of approx 60 other victims who are in the public eye. This will then be used as an example of court proceedings.

The diva has also shown her support for ITV's new charity event called 'text Santa'. Their X Factor is near it's end and once again a Dannii/Danyl pro-gay moment appeared causing fans of the show to react on twitter with comments like: 'Somewhere in Australia, Dannii is commenting on the gender referencing'. And somewhere down under, wearing her red ribbon in support of World AIDS day, she probably was...

From D to you

2011-11-29T10:08:00.000Z

Because of the massive amount of reports saying Dannii is joining Britain's Got Talent, Dannii has posted a little something for her U.K fans on twitter today:

A big tweet to all my fans in the UK. BGT headlines - all news to me. Planning to be back on UK TV soon so hold tight. FromMeToYou

Etihad Ambassador Dannii helped Virgin Australia and Westfield launch the Australian-first partnership in Sydney:

You don't expect to go down a tier in your frequent flyer membership just because you have a baby and you're doctor says you can't fly anymore.

For many years I have been involved with frequent flyer programs and you add the points and you can't use them - I think we need to get across to people this is something special.

I have very small windows of time that I can travel within the year so I want to use them when I use them and know I can.

Tomorrow she's is popping into her next Ambassador role. Her twitter reads:
Join me & @modelco tomorrow from 12pm for #VOSN & snap up #fibrelash! Bargains to be had through the day!!!

OK! magaine has an interview with the make up model Ambassador which you can now find in the gallery.

What's the name of the game

2011-11-28T09:14:00.001Z

Yesterday Dannii was the supporting act cheering on her sister who was honored by the Aussie music industry. At the same time she was back in the headlines as Sunday Mirror claims that she has signed up for Britain's Got Talent. So the replacing game has become the speculation game.

New TV projects, more kids, the return of Dannii music, are just 3 of the many speculations. But Dannii who's had a physically tough year since her health scare says that her main focus right now is getting back to feeling 100% well and being with Ethan.

Dannii has told reports that her next big thing is having a lovely Christmas back home with her family and that she is keeping her options open when it comes to her future. Family comes first.

The newly honored Dr Dannii also showed her support for the kids @ the Southampton Solent university by giving a speech at their graduation.

Catching up

2011-11-25T10:05:00.001Z

Dannii popped up yesterday on Steve Wright's radio 2 show and he had saved the best for last. The diva spoke about her book and handed out fashion tips. She was asked about her favourite X Factor memories and said that winning with Matt Cardle was what she came on the show for. At the end of the interview Steve couldn't resist asking about her next step. The room became quite and the little teaser then replied: Christmas in Melbourne, sunshine, bikini, swimmingpool and barbie... So once again it was a dead end street!

ITV has launched a campaign for their new Christmas TV event called 'text Santa'. According to Dean Piper Dannii is one of the celebrities backing the campaign.

A few weeks ago Dannii filmed her first beauty commercial for ModelCo. In this weeks Aussie OK! magazine the readers are invited behind the scenes at the video shoot. Preview available here.

ARIAs update
On Sunday sis Kylie is being inducted into ARIA's hall of fame for her services to the music industry and Dannii has been invited to the party.

Because Aussie PM Julia Gillard is involved club disco won't be covering anything of the event, should Dannii attend. Gillard is against equality and same sex marriages. That's discrimination and is not something that this site support.

"There's been no room for Disco Dannii..."

2011-11-24T11:39:00.000Z

In a double D fun interview where Dan meets Dan, former News Of The World showbiz journalist Dan Wootton has made a surprisingly good interview with the Aussie diva.

In this 3 page xclusive Dannii talks about why there's been no Dannii music, her relationship with her former co-judges,her health,family and reveals that although she hasn't signed up for anything new yet, she'd love to return to British telly again.
That and more to be found in the gallery now.

This afternoon Steve Wright has a radio-date with the stunner on his Radio 2 afternoon show @ 02.00pm.

Now woott

2011-11-22T11:21:00.000Z

X Factor Oz is over and Andrew Wishart who Dannii backed came in second. Unfortunately people didn't listen to Simon Cowells advice when he said that he didn't want their crappy Australian version of Justin Bieber...

During Danniis short but sweet interview at Alan Carrs Chatty man, the diva said that she has no plans on doing any U.K TV at the moment. But according to Dan Wootton she is in talks with Simon Cowell who wants her to do more TV. True or not, it's no secret that Mr Smug is a big fan of his star judge, especially her mentor skills which he has given the highest praise by saying that if he was a contestant, he'd want the stunner to coach him.

There is a little sneak peek of the interview available online which mentions Ferraris, midlife crises, family and future plans.

This week the Style Queen can be heard on Steve Wright in the afternoon who has a radio date with the stunenr from down under on Thursday afternoon.

Chatty woman

2011-11-21T09:16:00.000Z

Dannii is arrived back in her Melbourne home after a couple of instensive, busy days across the globe.
First it was London calling, the Abu Dhabi and after that The Maldives.

Abu Dhabi and The Maldives where part of her My Daily job where reporter Dan has been a travel guide as well as interviewer and blogger.

In London Dannii recorded an interview with Alan Carr for his programme Chatty Man. It was aired yesterday on Channel 4 and it didn't take many minutes for her to start being a trendy topic on the net.
The diva was there to promote Dannii - My Style but it was the TV goss that Carr wanted to talk about. Dannii once again denied doing BGT or any U.K show but didn't want to comment on the offers she's had, which is understandable.
Check it out here

The X Factor final is on down under. Dannii has been backing one of the finalist Andrew Wishart and is getting ready to watch the showdown with her sis as guest performer.

Where in the world...

2011-11-17T07:53:00.000Z

Somehow everything with Dannii always falls back to the X Factor. Whether it's her as a judge & mentor, her fashion or whatever, this diva certainly has got that X Factor.
The British XF fans are still missing her on the show which became more obvious when another Dannii/Danyl moment appeared during the weekend that was. And she's got a new fan as well.

Britian's Got Talent superstar Susan Boyle says Dannii is her favourite judge and that she misses her this year. Down under Australia's Got Talent has been their X Factor with 3million (4 million with regionals) tuning in to see the show this year. For the last couple of weeks viewers have been able to look back at the 5 series that has been shown on channel 7.

The promo of My Style continues. This Sunday Dannii is on The Chatty man och in Oz they're showing her & Tabithas appearance on 'Great British Hairdresser'. Still in Vogue Dannii also popped up on Vogue Oz to talk about their label and who it's aimed for.

My Daily added a video of Dannii filmed in August where she answers a new bunch of questions, such as the return of Dannii Music. It's still 'watch this space' when it comes to future projects. Right now she teases tweeters with a picture of feet on a beach somewhere in the world...

Magazine articles and stuff will be added after the weekend

Friendly stalkers

2011-11-14T10:42:00.001Z

Dannii and Kris stopped by Abu Dhabi on their way home to Oz to attend the Abu Dhabi F1 events. First it was the Grand Prix and then after that she and British singer Sophie Ellis Bexter hosted a lush event @ the Amber Lounge with all the F1 drivers and partners.

As fans, we're all friendly stalkers of Disco. We keep our distance, however giving the chance, we might just come a little bit closer. Like Hearts producer Joshua (correction:that should be Stuart) who told the listerners about his stalking moments with the diva.

Another one is Andrew Buchan. He told Radio Times that he had a massive crush on Dannii and that he wrote to her, asking if they could meet.

This week Dannii is in In Style magazine Au and next week she'll be a guest on the Chatty man on C4 which she recorded before she left London.

When Disco met Lou-Lou

2011-11-11T09:08:00.001Z

After 4 years together, bickering, on-tv fighting and a massive amount of headlines, Dannii & Louis Walsh finally became real friends on X Factor last year.

When Dannii joined the show hell broke lose and Sharon Osbourne was not happy having to share the spotlight with another woman. Louis took Mrs O's side and yadiyadiya, as they say, the rest is history.

But Disco & Lou-Lou became close on the show, supporting each other and now with Dannii in London, she took the occasion of interviewing the judge, to aks the Irish man what is going on this year.
She then asked him what his dream panel would be and Louis said surprisingly: Him,Simon, Sharon and...Dannii!

Check it out here.

Dannii has added a video of her accepting her Doctor of media honorary degree.
She's super nervous and supercute. Watch it on the tube

This is it

2011-11-10T15:10:00.001Z

The diva also catched up with family and friends, recorded an interview for Chatty man, interviewed Louis Walsh and yesterday she picked up her honorary doctor of media degree from the Southampton Solent University.

Her time in Britain hasn't always been easy. Dannii has endured some horrific headlines and was always the one to pick on when others did wrong. She's been phonehacked and blackmailed,her looks has attracted a lot of haters and she had to work ten times harder than the rest of the entertainers.
But it's been a real roller coaster for her, even in a positive way because they've also named her the Queen of:
- Style
- Dance
- TV
and now media. So not that bad after all!

Yesterday Dannii confirmed that she has no TV plans at the moment in the U.K and no plans on returning to X Factor. Instead she will head to Abu Dhabi's F1 event during the upcoming weekend and then return home with her family.

D Queen of All Media

2011-11-09T13:32:00.002Z

Updated! Watch and behold!
Howard Stern may be the King of All Media but now there is a Queen.
Dannii received her honorary doctor degree today in London, given to her by the Southampton Solent University.

She was given the title Doctor of media for her long spanning career in showbiz, spanning all areas of the media, from music to broadcasting, performance and fashion. Proud and taken Dannii said:

I can't even breathe at the moment, I'm very honoured.
I have an incredible amount of respect for the media industry.
For me, it's all I've ever had

At the ceremony was family friend Kathy Lette and earlier this morning Dannii stopped by to see sister Kylie, also an honoree Dr.

Congrats once again to Dannii!

new Capital FM interview available to download here.
Dannii is also interviewing Louis Walsh this evening. Whatever will Lou-Lou say?!

Honorary degree for Dannii!

2011-11-09T10:00:00.000Z

Dannii will this afternoon receive an honorary degree for her outstanding work in showbiz from Southampton Solent University. The ceremony will take place in London later today.
The Daily Echo writes :

SHE is the queen of reinvention, succeeding as an actress, a singer-songwriter, a TV talent show judge, a businesswoman and a fashion designer. But today Australian superstar Dannii Minogue was mastering the academic world. She is due to become a Doctor of Media of Southampton Solent University at a lunchtime ceremony. Having been an inspiration to thousands of students studying at the city’s university, the glamorous 40-year-old was chosen to be recognised with an honorary degree.

Worshipped as a style icon, Dannii today donned the traditional doctoral cap and gown at a special ceremony in London in honour of her outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry.
It comes just a month after her older sister, pop princess Kylie, collected an honorary Doctorate of Health Science from Anglia Ruskin University in recognition of her work promoting breast cancer awareness after battling the disease. A select group of lucky staff and students headed to the capital for Dannii’s graduation ceremony on board HSQ Wellington this afternoon, where they had the chance to chat to the former X Factor judge. Despite having no personal link to the city university bosses felt that her 25-year career, spanning all areas of the media, from music to broadcasting, performance and fashion, covered many of the courses studied at Solent University and therefore was a shining example of what can be achieved through hard work and determination.

Dannii, who flew into the UK on Saturday, is also a patron of the CVQO, an educational charity that provides opportunities outside conventional education routes, of which the University’s Chancellor, Admiral the Lord West of Spithead is a trustee.

Happy Halloween

2011-10-30T20:50:00.000Z

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark. Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart. You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it. You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes. You're paralyzed. Cause this is thriller night...

Trick or treat!
In October/November just before the Christmas lights go up, we celebrate the dead all around the globe. From Day of the dead to Alla Helgons day it's a scary time and nobody do it better than Americans and their Halloween. And that's October 31.

So Dannii-fans it's time to have some wicked fun whether you party or stay inside.
Bring out The Wizard Of Oz, The Fog, Scream, anything by Hitchcock or any other movie favourite and get spooked.

Happy haunting...

Dannii mania

2011-10-23T10:42:00.001+01:00

Updated Suddenly she is everywhere. Well she's heading to Sydney to film an ad for ModelCo tomorrow, but everywhere you look there she is.

The world is full of mini D's. Like on the In Style magazine's Aussie cover with her US mini me Kim Kardashian, the Sydney Insider ad for the Melbourne cup which looks very much like the Melbourne golden girl. Or on X Factor.

But on X Factor her mini has swapped from being Tulisa Contostavlos who went for D's Get into you style, to Dannii...sorry Kelly Rowland. Dermot O'Leary did one of his biggest slip ups last night as he presented the American judge as Dannii Rowland. He misses Dannii he told You magazine today, saying she was a real friend. Fans are misisng her as well and yesterday Kris twitter was bombarded with questions, asking him to get Dannii back on the show.

Dannii has left the disco birthday train which was filled of surprises and messages from her friends and family and now the Dannii - My Style train continues.
In today's You magazine there's a 7 page special feature with some of the tips from the Style Queen, taken from the book.

Also added are pictures from My Daily's 40th birthday special.

Full of surprises

2011-10-21T20:04:00.000+01:00

She has celebrated almost every birthday in the public eye but for her 40th birthday it was a private event. Kris had arranged a surprise party at the Tramcar Restaurant in Melbourne so from the Dannii - My Style train it was all aboard the disco birthday train!

Project D is planning to expand. Dannii revealed that she and Tabitha are looking in to adding perfumes, shoes and handbags. The Style Queen admitted that she is excited about the future of the label.

Dannii recently did an interview and shoot for Australian Who Magazine and designer Aurelio Costarella added a picture from the story of the beauty wearing his dress.

Next year Young Talent Time returns to the Aussie screen. It's also 30 years ago that Dannii debuted as a team member on the show. So why not take a look at this flashback of her best bits.

In other news Dannii popped up as a trending topic once again on Yahoo. Is there something going on or are the Brits just missing her..?

Dannii's day!

2011-10-19T14:00:00.000+01:00

Bring out the champagne. It's time to celebrate!

It's midnight in Melbourne so officially October 20 down under which means Danielle Jane Minogue is now turning the big 40! For her fans it's almost like a New Year countdown because on twitter and other social network sites the countdown has already begun.

Dannii's festive day started yesterday Aussie already but it's Aussie today that is the big D Day. Rumours are that there is a big surprise in store for the stunner...

club disco has had the pleasure of following this super duper wonder woman since her comeback to TV land in 2007 as a judge on Australia's Got Talent, and it's been a party ever since then. They often talk about Bieber fever but that's nothing compared to getting addicted to the D force.

Last year thrilled parents Dannii & Kris welcomed the arrival of little Ethan and who would have thought that she would celebrate such an important day of her life as a mother of a little boy?!

Dannii recently revealed how she has had some health scares since the birth of her son and how she feels like one of the lucky ones to be able to celebrate getting older.

So a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the mummy mogul!

Like shooting star

2011-10-18T17:56:00.000+01:00

During the weekend Kris jumped to the beat while proud girlfriend D was watching him from down under. The two lovebirds were snapped with cheeky smiles before the take off. And off Kris went.
All for the Jeans for Genes charity.

A couple of days earlier Danii told Hughesy and co @ Nova 100 that she and Kris had been having fights over what dog to pick. Watch a video on the tube (thanks for the tip) and you'll find the full radio interview in full here shortly.

Yesterday Dannii was trending on the U.K Yahoo page and just a few days before the big 40-day, she is a busy as ever. Dannii is on the Dannii - My Style train and the Style Queen has met with friend and stylist Gok Wan. She interviewed Gok for her My Daily blog.

On My Daily the 'Ask Dannii' session continues and she has revealed that this weekend she'll be answering more questions from fans.

One of her fashion fans is Pippa Middleton who was spotted wearing the 'Elle floral' maxi dress from the Project D A/W 2011 collection.

In 2 days the yummy mummy mogul turns 40 and to the fans who are wondering if she'll share the day with her fans, it's impossible to say. With Dannii you just never know.

Dannii's new life begins

2011-10-14T22:02:00.000+01:00

The Fabulous magazine interview is out. Dannii talks about her exit from X Factor, what really went on in her relationship with Kris and why life begins at 40.

There has been a lot of speculation, but I have never been one to talk about my relationship. We have been through a tough time, but people don't really know what's been going on.

The truth is I have been very sick. After Ethan was born I felt really tired and I didn't get better, I got worse. If I told anyone they'd say I was working too hard. I'd had a baby, I was travelling back and forth from Australia to the UK doing The X Factor, I was jet-lagged, on the go non-stop, all the things that make you tired. I just kept thinking I'd feel better but I was losing weight, permanently exhausted. I didn't feel like myself.

About her x-it:

The schedule kept changing, and when they finally came to me with the dates, I looked at the schedule. In the 10 weeks of filming it would have meant me doing around 10 trips back and forth from Australia. It wasn't that I didn't want to do it. I physically couldn't.
In a way, I have to see what happened to me as a blessing. My body forced me to rebalance my life. I just couldn't do it. I needed to look after myself and my son, be at home with Kris. We needed to get through it together, which is what we have done.

Her new life:

I am blessed to have Ethan, if he's my only child I've still been very lucky. I can't understand people when they ask me if I'm worried about hitting 40. It's great that I'm here, Everything is getting better. Who cares about a few wrinkles? I'm very happy to be here, this is just another chapter of my life.

I love being my age. The most important thing in my life is being a good mother and a good person. I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life and last year was definitely incredibly tough, but you just have to believe that things will always get better - and smile.

Absolutely fabulous

2011-10-14T09:18:00.001+01:00

This weekend Dannii graces another cover. And it's a teeny bit controversial because it's the cover of former News of the world's extra magazine, Fabulous. Dannii is one of many sueing News International for phone hacking.

A preview cover and picture from the shoot shows Dannii is slowly on her way back to feeling 100% well. Many thought she had a tough year because of the X Factor drama and made up stories about her and Kris's relationship. But it was the fact that she was ill that was the tough part.
In today's The Sun there's a little story taken from the big weekend story.

Dannii has also done a shoot with Aussie Who magazine.

That Dannii is missed by X Factor fans is no news to anyone, but soon she'll also be missed from another talent show. Dannii's contract with channel 7 is over and now there are reports that sort of confirms her departure from her first TV baby - Australia's Got Talent.
However, because of it's success, 7 are planning a little trip down memory lane where viewers will get to enjoy the best bits from the beginning till now.
added TV blog TV Tonight reports that the show is called Australia’s Got Amazing Talent and is coming soon:

Australia’s Got Amazing Talent will revel in the memorable moments from the first five series, including all the antics and acerbic comments from judges Dannii Minogue, Red Symons, Tom Burlinson, Kyle Sandilands, Brian McFadden and host Grant Denyer. And it’s coming soon to Channel Seven.

This weekend Kris is doing his sky-dive for the Jeans for Genes charity and it's said that Dannii will be there to watch him.

Who let the dogs out?

2011-10-11T11:08:00.001+01:00

It was suppose to be all about Dannii - My Style, but because Nova FM radio DJ host Hughesy's dog Barkly fell in love with the Style Queen as she was waiting to get in the studio, it went from My Style to My Dog.

Dannii revealed that she and Kris had a deal - a baby or a dog. Out Ethan came so that was that. But now with bubba getting older, Kris is keen on getting a dog still which Dannii doesn't mind. On twitter fans are helping out which dog they should go for.

Dannii was also a guest on Fifi Box's radio show and there it was all baby talk. Before that she popped up as a guest on The Circle.

The Dannii - My Style promo train continues and is now to be found down under. Dannii has more promo announced which includes more TV and radio shows.

She's scheduled to appear on the morning show The Circle tomorrow morning to talk fashion. She's also lined up as a guest on Nova Melbourne 100 after 08.00am and then she'll chat to Fifi Box on her radio show in the afternoon @ 16.00pm. (All Aussie times)

The diva is still missed on X Factor, especially as the live shows kicked off. Winning boy Matt Cardle performed his new single 'Run for you life' out now, and next week the album is out. It's also been announced that Matt has signed a worldwide publishing deal and that he's got a new single planned December 5, 'Starlight' taken from his brilliant (it really is) upcoming album.

In the U.K media are spinning a story taken from the Stella magazine interview where Dannii opened up fully about her health battle this year.

Dannii is where she wants to be

2011-10-09T10:25:00.002+01:00

Updated In 10 days Dannii turns 40. You could say it's a start of a new chapter in her life because at this moment, her future is yet to be written. Earlier this year she shocked the British nation by stepping down as a judge on The X Factor. But for Dannii it was an easy decision. Her family and health comes first.

In April she had to have an emergecy appendix operation and she also had thyroid problems. In fact her health isn't yet 100% and in today's Stella magazine Dannii explains that she is exactly where she wants to be right now

It was quite shocking for the producers [when I said no] because they were used to me saying, “I’ll come here, go there, jump on any plane.
I love the show and I probably wouldn’t have been able to make the decision to stop otherwise, but it just had to happen and it was the right time because I need all my strength now to be a mummy.

I feel as if I’m on a curve upwards, but it takes time. My body’s been through a lot in the past two years. The workload alone would make anyone tired. But factor in the jet lag, X Factor, the baby, being ill…
But I’m getting there. I can’t wait to have the energy to work out again.

An Irish weekend newspaper celebrates Playboy saying it is empowering for women to be part of Hefners paradise-fantasy world. So it should be because Hugh Hefner has done a lot of things for mankind and has been a big part of many significant changes in America.

Phone hacking update

2011-10-07T11:42:00.000+01:00

Dannii is sueing News Corp's U.K unit together with her brother Brendan Minogue. Dannii's spokesperson has said that she can't comment on the lawsuit because of legal reasons.

The press can be really nasty when they want to, and not just hacking phones. On Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2009 Dannii told a hair raising story about being blackmailed to do a HIV test. If she had refused, they would have printed that she was suffering from the disease.

In other news Darren Hayes of Savage Garden has said that he'd love Dannii to sing his songs. He has written music especially for her and told U.K showbiz site Digital Spy:

I've never met Dannii, but I love her! She's so good on TV. I think she's allowed to do what Kylie can't do because she's a bit less guarded.
I was actually writing songs for Dannii - or rather I was trying to, but I don't think she got any of them. I met her management a while ago and I presented them with a load of songs that I thought would be perfect for her to release.

I think at the time the label wanted to go with something a bit cooler and lot more underground. She should make pop music like Robyn's - she could easily pull it off.

Dannii is also continuing promoting Dannii - My Style, as just shown on Australian TV show 7pm project. This weekend she'll be in Sunday Telegraphs Stella magazine and also during the weekend Matt Cardle is releasing his new stuff which he will perform on The X Factor.

New projects

2011-10-06T10:49:00.000+01:00

While there are some weird clone attemps going on in the U.K, the original Dannii is back home in the land of Oz. Before she left to go to Britain Dannii had a busy year on Oz TV. Australia's Got Talent got sky high ratings and Dannii has been talking proudly about the winning boy Jack Vidgen who recently also appeared on Amercia's Got Talent.
She's back again on the telly but on another network as she is scheduled to appear on the 7pm project on friday.

In Oz it's currently all about the spring racing carnival, Dannii however has other horse powers in mind. The diva has announced that she is going to the F1 Abu Dhabi GP in middle november, a first for the race-fan. In November she will also be doing her second trip to the U.K.

Dannii My Style is now launched in both U.K & in Australia. The Style Queen is doing some promo for the book also in Oz. During the U.K promo she also gave a sneak peek of Project D dresses from the 2012 collection. Another peek available is the this photoshoot that she made before leaving the U.K.

Dannii sues News Corp

2011-10-05T09:47:00.000+01:00

Dannii has filed a complaint against News Corp's U.K Unit. According to Canadian National Post the lawsuit was made on Monday.

The complaint is to do with phonehacking and it appears that also Dannii is one of the celebrity victims.

And off she goes!

2011-10-01T10:58:00.001+01:00

It's been a hectic couple of weeks for Dannii who jetted in to Britain to work on fashion projects. First up was London Fashion Week and the launch of the S/S 2012 of Project D. After that it's been one commitment after the other and yesterday the diva finished off 3 book signings of Dannii - My Style.

'People say diva like it's a bad thing' Dannii herself said as her Team Minogue boy Nicolo Festa was criticized by her fellow judges. And as she shows herself, being a diva is not the same as being difficult or over-demanding. Its something fabulous. Fans were thrilled to see the stunner pose with them in their creations ans gifts for her, even reporters were pleasantly surprised to see her making way for them so that they could get a snap.

There's been a lot of talk about Dannii and her looks. Ever since she finsihed working on YTT in the late 80's. People in the media seem to think that her looks is all there is to her and they love to bring out the fact that 20 years ago she was a little bit chubby, or sometimes she wore horrible clothes and don't even think about mentioning 'the forbidden pics' from the mid 80's which shows Dannii looking just like she looks now.
F1 Ferrari driver Felipe Massa put it well when he said:
'The media just look at what is happening now. They never remember the past and they don't see anything about the future.'

Yes, a lot of the media still lives in the past but as she is celebrated for her sense of style today, it's her inner style that shines the most. It doesn't really matter what she wears, or if her hair is short or long, wearing make up or no make up. It's the woman behind people are interested in. Since she became a mother of young boy Ethan, there's a new confidence to her.

While Dannii was promoting her book, there was also a lot of interest in her future projects. Lots of rumours flying around and none that has been confirmed. Dannii is already on her way home to Oz and has said that it's decision time soon.

Part 3 of ask Dannii via My Daily is up and when a possible return of Dannii Music question popped up the stunner from down under said that nothing is planned and that people have to watch this space.

The Telly Queen doesn't have any TV plans either according to the interview on today's Daybreak. But with the rumour flying around the net that she will team up with Cheryl Cole, Dannii was asked by a showbiz reporter what she thinks about the former X Factor judge's brief telly appearance in the states.

She's been an amazing judge in the U.K on the X Factor and I'm sure she had an incredible time (on the US XF) and had every intention to stay and it's a shame she's not a part of the show.

Her comments of judging BGT has been interperated to everything from that's she's not doing it, to she hints she will. The answer? - Watch this space...

Dannii keeps mum

2011-09-23T13:37:00.000+01:00

There are a lot of rumours going on about Dannii's next factor. What will she do. The latest is judging Britain's Got Talent. This morning the diva was on Daybreak and when asked about the rumor she replied in true Dannii-style - saying absolutely nothing but remaining polite to the demand of wanting her to do it.
Metro has the quotes:

When asked on ITV morning show Daybreak about whether she would be joining Simon Cowell's talent show as a judge, she replied cryptically: 'We'll see.'
And pushed by Daybreak presenter Steve Hargrave to spill more details about becoming a BGT judge, the new mum insisted: 'Well there’s nothing to tell'.

Clearly frustrated at his guest's efforts to keep her cards so close to her chest, Steve pushed: 'I thought you were going to do a "beg Simon Cowell" right now on camera, but you wouldn’t, you’re too classy.'
'I don’t do that,' laughed Dannii, giving nothing away.

Dannii's main focus now is promoting Dannii - My Style and the 3 signings she has lined up for the release.
She will also be on Radio 2:

ENTERTAINMENT: Steve Wright in the Afternoon
On: BBC Radio Two
Date: Wednesday 28th September 2011 (starting in 5 days)

Since Dannii left X Factor there has been a new rumour almost everyday about what she will do next. Chat show host, I'm a celeb get me out of here, This Morning, etc, etc.

Dannii and Tabitha attended the Giles fashion show last night. Dannii was wearing a Project D dress and her hair was styled with a cool feather accessorie. Suddenly long hair feels irritating,heavy and in the way so if you can rock it like D, maybe it's time for the big chop...

I'm heartbroken! But he's just recently started to react to Kris' parents when we Skype them. To him, it's as if they're in the room, so I thought: 'Now's an ok time. I can do that'. It doesn't make it much easier for me, but at least it's easier for him! I've got my working mother's guilt to deal with now, as well as the jet-lag.

Well Hello there!

2011-09-19T18:12:00.000+01:00

Dannii is in this week Hello Magazine which gives a sneak peek of Dannii - My Style. In the book out in 10 days the Style Queen talks about her road to fashion and what inspires her. Kylie Minogue has written the foreword and the two sisters reflect on their style-sharing adventures.
Now added to the gallery.

If you can't make it to the 3 signings, you can win a signed copy of the book by enterting a competition on News shopper.

Project D has launched girly gifts sets today, available @ Boots U.K.
More on that here.

Earlier today the diva caught up with Team Minogues XF winner Matt Cardle. The former judge interviewed Matt which will be added on My Daily shortly.
Matt has been a busy bee promoting his upcoming single and during radio interviews questions about his former mentor popped up. Matt said he loves Dannii to bits, that she is a sweetheart and so supportive of him. But the female hosts are more interested in the stunners looks so when asked if Dannii always looks perfect, even without make up he replied that she looks amazing.

It's all about D voice

2011-09-16T15:32:00.000+01:00

Forget about The X Factor. The newest it show is The Voice and Dannii is a hot candidate for the talent show. She is wanted in both the U.K and down under. By being a popular judge and mentor on X Factor and Australia's Got Talent, telly producers are keen on getting the peoples diva on their productions.
Herald Sun quotes and insider from nine network saying

She is definitely in their sights. They (The Voice) really want her, it is a big show that needs big names.

Disco has already confirmed that she is talks with U.K producers but has also said that she hasn't decided anything yet. With Kris and baby boy Ethan in Oz, Dannii has made it clear that they are her priority. The question is now - what does Dannii want to do next?

Project D launch - a piece of cake

2011-09-15T21:15:00.000+01:00

A low key Dannii touched down in London just a few hours ago, and she went straight back to work.
Busy busy busy, Dannii and Tabitha have been preparing their S/S 12 launch of Project D.

Earlier today the two designer pals popped up on twitter giving a little sneak peek of what was going on on the PR day.

This evening it was time for the press launch and as the diva posed with Tabs and the models, she was looking hotter than ever. Wearing a midnight blue dress with sky high heels Dannii was oozing class. And you just know that short hair is now the new 'it'.

Pics in the gallery.

Touch down

2011-09-13T16:56:00.000+01:00

Dannii has arrived in the U.K and Mr Paparazzi where there to greet the diva as she arrived in London.

Dannii is there for business so after a busy week for the MSFW, it's work work work again. On My Daily you can catch up with all of that plus an interview with Miss J who was a guest at the event week.

Channii lives on

2011-09-09T13:01:00.000+01:00

When Cheryl Cole joined X Factor in the U.K, the media had pages after pages on her and Dannii's rivalry. XF boss Simon Cowell loves to pitch up ladies to create a buzz for his shows to secure super ratings.

However, the plan failed and Dannii and Cheryl grew to like each other instantly. Dannii was the first to welcome the star onboard after having a difficult time with former judge Sharon Osbourne who didn't hide her dislike for younger Dannii one bit. In Dannii - My Story Dannii talks about supportive Cheryl and in her column in Closer magazine 2008, she gave the XF fans all the juicy goss that was banned from the TV airings.

Down under Cheryl told The Kyle & Jackie O Show that she thinks Dannii is amazing and that people who thought she would be a bitch like Osbourne had to think again.
During a Q&A with Dannii, she spoke about Cheryl saying she'd love to work with her fellow glam girl again and that she is a huge fan of her debut album '3 words'.

Simon who axed Cheryl and pushed Dannii out of the show to give way for new judge Gary Barlow wants to get Cheryl back on his shows by saying he wants her to front Britains Got Talent. However, with Dannii being in talks with The Voice producers and Cheryl has been spotting chatting with Christina Aguilera (who is on The Voice US) the two ladies dubbed the Grand Dames of Television, might just beat Simon at his own game and take over the TV empire.

Cheryl has just joined twitter and is now following Dannii.

Dannii opens up

2011-09-08T09:00:00.000+01:00

While this week is all about fashion with Dannii @ the MSFW, the ambassador also opened up about what happened to her body earlier this year. Dannii had an appendix scare during the Easter holidays and speaking to Australian newspaper Herald Sun she said:

It was Easter weekend in London and I was scrunched up in a tiny ball from the pain. I rang the doctor and I said, 'If you don't get me into the hospital room now, I will die'.
I mean the pain was ... so beyond anything.
I still didn't know what it was at that stage but I just said to him, 'I am going to die of the pain.

She also had thyroid problems.

It just stopped," she said, unsure if the problem was stress-related.
I was holding Ethan in my arms and thinking, why can't I walk up the stairs?
Everything felt so hard and I was losing more and more and more weight.

It happens to a lot of women after they have a baby, I'm told.
It's a lot of pressure on your body (having a baby), I mean I was out here.

Yesterday the little diva was interviewed on morning TV show Sunrise and on Herald Sun there's a video interview from the catwalk of the gala show.

Changes on the site

2011-09-07T10:18:00.000+01:00

At Dannii's third event of the MSFW, it was time to showcase Project D. Dannii has a busy morning showing the dresses and talking to reporters and also attended the business breakfast show.

Note:
There will be changes on this site, little by little as already mentioned. This site started out as stricly Dannii focused and now it's going back to that. Also, it takes too much time and energy to focus on everything. It means that there will no longer be any updates on Kris's stuff.

New video channels are coming, new gallery and more.

Out with the old...

2011-09-06T10:36:00.000+01:00

and in with the new. Dannii is attending the Gala show of this weeks MSFW. Yesterday she showcased some of the dresses she has worn from when she started on the British X Factor to her very last series of Australia's Got Talent.

Dressed in the Project D pre-fall Sydney dress, it was back to black for the stunner.

One Perfect Moment

2011-09-05T11:42:00.000+01:00

Dannii is having a party tonight @ the Melbourne Town Hall. The 'One Perfect Moment' event is a VIP treat where she will showcase her favourite looks from the red carpet. The Style Queen has yet another hair cut and the hairstylists sure likes to chop of her brunette locks, but as always, it works for the stunner. Then again they could make her bald and she'd still rock it. There's just something about Dannii...
Kris is by her side looking proud of his baby D.

The telly diva popped up as a trending topic on Yahoo but her confirmation of The Voice talks has yet to reach the tabloids. Herald Sun said that the London trip has been delayed so that the MSFW Ambassador can fully enjoy this weeks fashion events.

It's also that time of year when X Factor is on which means you can show your support for Team Minogue. Dannii left the show but she is still supporting her team.
Matt Cardle's debut single has just been released on the radio and TV networks.
The single 'Run For Your Life' is released for digital download on October 9th. The Album 'Letters' is released a week later October 17th.

Dannii confirms The Voice talks

2011-09-04T10:35:00.000+01:00

Ever since Dannii left the popular U.K show The X Factor, there has been a rumour that Dannii will be doing The Voice. In this weeks Who magazine the telly diva confirms the talks.

They're speaking to me, but I haven't made any decisions.

After the MSFW week, she will fly to Britain to meet with the producers to discuss more about it.
Taken from Who magazine Dannii also talks about her family and turning 40 this year.

Read that and more, now added to the gallery.

Happy Father's Day

2011-09-03T21:30:00.001+01:00

It's a double celebration in Australia today with the National Flag Day and Father's Day. Kris, now a Melbournite, joined a Sunrise reporter on a hunt for Fathers day presents.

On Monday the MSFW starts and Dannii will host 'One Perfect Moment' event where she will showcase some of her red carpet dresses. The diva is happy to be back home and says she is re-discovering Melbourne all over again, something that she finds xciting. Sunday Herald Sun quoted the Style Queen saying:

It feels like the right time. Because of my label and being back home in Melbourne.

I'm sort of finding my feet here again and one of the mottos of Spring Fashion Week is discovery and sometimes I feel like I'm discovering Melbourne again. It's like, 'OK, I'm back', but everything has changed.

Melbourne's golden girl

2011-09-02T11:46:00.001+01:00

Updated! Dannii is at the opening party of the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week which kicks off on Monday. Dressed in a golden dress by Manning Cartel and her iconic hair in a new sleak style, the Style Queen adds her share glitter to the fashion event. Lots of action at the party with Godfather Brian McFadden and catwalk diva Miss J snapped with the fashion Ambassador.

Melbourne is D place to be

2011-09-01T09:16:00.001+01:00

Updated! Yesterday was the day of the Dannii leaks. Songs from her Neon Nights era popped up and a couple of dates for upcoming book signings were mentioned.

Dannii's orgasmic health tips

2011-08-24T09:52:00.000+01:00

Simon Cowell has a weekly routine that was recommended to him by Dannii. Each week, Mr Vain has an intravenous drip with B12, magnesium, vitamin C, something for your liver, he tells US GQ magazine.

It' has been a double cure because the X Factor boss says that he is no longer scared to put the needle on it. And in fact, it creates such rush that you can get an orgasm of the treatment.

Everyone I've recommended it to, they've absolutely loved it.

It sounds odd, but when you have it, it is fantastic....
One girl came down and actually had two orgasms during the treatment

Coming soon...

2011-08-23T14:07:00.000+01:00

D clone

2011-08-22T11:16:00.000+01:00

After the first episode was launched, the talk is about the judges. Who is the favourite and are the old missed? Dannii is missed the most according to people. Not according to The Sun however. They say that according to their poll last years winning judge is missed the least.

What fans are also talking about is new judge Tulisa's Dannii look. During the early 90's the diva sported a two tones hairstyle with long black-ish hair and a blonde streak. Which is xactly what Tulisa has gotten for her make over.

Tulisa also has the same love for the Herve Leger dresses that Dannii has been wearing lately so if she is isn't missed, maybe it's because she's still on the show...

On twitter fans are talking to Dannii on twitter about her not being on the show and Dannii has thanked everyone for their messages.

X Factor without Dannii

2011-08-21T12:44:00.000+01:00

Yesterday evening ITV aired it's first episode of the new X Factor, series 8. The neXt generation they call it and there are 3 new judges onboard.

Dannii who decided to leave the hit show is still a massive fan and she will follow the new series on the tube. What fans are discussing now is, is she missed or not.

The Apprentice U.K business boss Lord Sugar tweeted a question and the majority seem to have liked the new judges, but they are also missing Dannii. The most shocking comment is from Daily Mails Liz Jones who wrote:

Maybe the judges will mature, too. I find I am missing Dannii Minogue, which is about as surprising as saying I’m taking up a new career as a vivisectionist.

Indeed it is a surprise statement because Jones is very rarely positive about the former X Factor judge.
Winning boy Matt Cardle has now also announced details about his first single. It's new judge Gary Barlow who is behind the song and Matt is very xcited to have been given the song. So is his former mentor who is continuing to support Matt.

Stacey Solomon from XF class of 2009 is still in touch with Dannii. Having just signed her own record deal the Dagenham funny girl commented on Dannii's x-it:

Dannii’s got so much going on…I don’t think she needs The X Factor.

In mid september the diva is touching down in Britain to promote her new book, work on Project D and what is still known as secret projects. Fans are hoping she will stay around long enough to show support for Matt on the first live show.

Happy Birthday Kris

2011-08-20T10:33:00.000+01:00

It's Kris's birthday today! The Manchester boy turns 33. Since 2008 this day will always be adouble celebration. It was on his birthday in Ibiza 3 years ago, that the beautiful couple met.

So a big Happy Birthday and a Happy Anniversary!

You won't forget about D

2011-08-19T09:42:00.001+01:00

The press has picked up quotes from Dannii's Grazia interview and her comments about being happy in Oz has resulted in a press release stating 'Dannii Minogue refuses to leave Oz'.
While she hasn't said anything about TV rumours, the diva has confirmed her trip to Britain where she will continue her work with Tabitha on Project D and other fashion projects including Dannii - My Style.

Tabitha has been busy working on the new S/S shoot, the last couple of days the dresses have been on sale on the the official site and when D arrives the two designer pals will head to London Fashion Week.

Her campaign with ModelCo's Fibre Lash has been a hit and via Boots U.K they have set up a competition where the lucky winner gets to meet the mini model.
Meet D

Matt Cardle has announced details about his upcoming album, out October 17. The title is 'Letters' and is said to be packed with hits. With her support for last years winner and with new judge Tulisa being given the look of early 90's Dannii, her X Factor lives on.

On My Daily she talks about her love for Beyoncé and there are a few more questions available for the fans.

Juicy goss

2011-08-17T11:37:00.000+01:00

It's the press launch of the U.K X Factor today. Dannii made a shock x-it earlier this year saying that she couldn't do both XF and Australia's Got Talent this year.She and baby E would have had to travel back and forth for 10 weeks. There was no way the Telly Queen would have put her son through that.

Her decision to leave the hottest chair on TV caused major drama. All the magazines had their own versions and opinions on her x-it. Today you will find a selection of the most D-ramatic stories in the gallery.

As mentioned before Dannii graces the cover of Grazia Au and the divas stunning new photo shoot has reached the British shores. The papers quote Dannii talking about her love for her home country which to them leaves a question mark if she will come back to U.K TV again. A fan commented :

'She's back here in Australia and we're recharging and looking after her. You can borrow her again for a while next year if you ask nicely.'

In other news Ten has confirmed a revival of Young Talent Time airing in the next year.

Daddy Kool

2011-08-16T11:43:00.000+01:00

Kris is back on the catwalk strutting his stuff. And what hot stuff it is. The mighty fine Myer model Ambassador is once again seen on billboards as Myer launched it's S/S campaign.

Kris who travels back and forth between Melbourne and Sydney spoke to the media before the launch party and was particulary upset over the U.K riots which at the time was ongoing in his hometown.

I’m really ashamed and really gutted that this is happening. I haven’t been able to get hold of my parents but I know they’re OK.

There’s only one lucky thing to come from all of this - these people aren’t trying to attack other people, they’re just trying to get things for nothing. It’s disgusting.

On a more positive note the yummy daddy is happy to be living down under. He has filmed a pilot for new TV show and is often a guest on the 7pm project. And there is more to come from project K.

We know he's got the genes for jeans and certainly the guts with the Manchester boy offering to sky dive for the cause. According to a new report he might be wearing more jeans. Gorgeous Kris is keen on making his own.

I would love it. I have got some really good ideas. There are a lot of things I would like to do, especially with denim wear.

Personally I find there is a bit of a flaw with jeans or trousers that I buy. There is always something I would like to have done a little bit differently.
I think if I did something that (denim) will be the angle that I would take. Watch this space.

Kris also took the opportunity to shut down a couple of rumours from the British press and said that neither he or Dannii are doing any jungle adventures. At least not on TV...

On August 20 it's a double celebration in the family. Kris has his birthday and he and Dannii will be celebrating their 3rd anniversary.

Coming up tomorrow: Dannii's x-it. What the gossip mags said.

There's something about Dannii

2011-08-15T09:19:00.000+01:00

Alrighty then. After a short blog-break, club disco is back in Dannii-land. It's time to settle down in the penthouse at the D tower which offers the best view at every direction.
So lets catch up on the latest.

MSFW
The diva is continuing to work on her latest fashion project. This week we get a sneak peek of the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. Gracing the cover of Grazia Au the Style Queen talks about her love for fashion, Project D, Kris and Ethan and why she loves being back down under.

Talent mania
The final ratings are in and with time shift plus regionals added the 5th series of Australia's Got Talent lands at 4 million!

Not since Young Talent Time have talent shows in Oz had such high numbers. So it's not surprising to see the return of YTT. The show which made Danielle Minogue a house hold name is back next year on Ten. Dannii is proud over her roots and has been backing the return. Telly insiders say that the network is planning on showing YTT repeats. Dannii came on the show as an extra 1977, auditioned in 1979 and became a regular 1982.

Dannii's X Factor lives on
She may be labelled 'xtinct' in one of the latest X Factor ads but the former judge's X Factor remains. Team Minogue have been busy with various music projects. Rhydian Roberts has just released his 3rd studio album and says it's all thanks to Dannii. During the weekend ITV2 aired Xtra Factor rewind which showed bits from last year when she won with Matt Cardle. Matt is releasing his debut album later this autumn.

Dannii's daily
Staying with Team Minogue, reporter Dan had even more more more questions for Kylie fans. When asked about duets the pop princess said that a collaboration with the dance diva is top of her list. Kyles also said that of D's songs she would do 'All I wanna do' and Dannii would do K's 'Shocked'.

The pre-fall collection of Project D is out now and on My Daily you can see drawings of the dresses including London, Paris and Rio. When she returns to Britain mid september Dannii and Tabitha will head down to the London Fashion Week to showcase the S/S 12 collection.

When Perez met Dannii

The tables have turned and now it's Perez Hilton who quizzes Dannii on her life and career. Dannii told the US celebrity blogger that her family will always come first and that her leaving X Factor has got nothing to do with being bitter or having a feud with someone, least of all Sharon Osbourne!

Perez has been following AGT's Jack Vidgen by supporting him on his blog. During his last visit down under he also met the young star in person. While on the subject Dannii explained that because of the tough schedule it was just impossible for her to do both XF & AGT this year.

Oh, link here

Australia's GOT Talent

2011-08-02T13:19:00.002+01:00

Jack Vidgen won the 5th series of AGT. And with that Australia's Got Talent is no longer a questionmark, it is a fact.

Congrats to the wonder boy!

Dannii dazzled in a nude Aurelio Costarella dress and was delighted to see the talented Jack take it all the way home. The talent spotter said that the young singer was 'shockingly brilliant' after his first live performance and many predict he's got the world at his feet.

Of course the diva was the first to interview the newest star on the showbiz sky.

Catch up on the tube. More on AGT shortly.

Kris's big breakfast

2011-08-02T09:39:00.000+01:00

Kris was co-hosting the Circle yesterday, his first morning job on television. He chatted about him and Dannii and other topics such as Jeans For Genes. The charity support CMRI and on friday they've asked Aussies to dedicate the day to them. As fans may remember Dannii supported this cause in 2006 where she was sprayed on a pair of jeans. Kris decided to be a dare devil and took on a sky dive challenge. And again as fans may remember his partner has done the same also on morning television - the Big Breakfast. So no doubt Disco with Ethan will be ready with the camera shouting 'smile babe!'

Tonight is the big moment on Australia's Got Talent where the winner will be announced. Dannii popped up on the Kyle and Jackie O show who tried to find out what the Diva is up to next. Last week naughty bad boy Kyle Sandilands didn't show up on AGT because of an ear infection, so Dannii told him that he'd better show up tonight.

The final book cover has been revealed on twitter with foreword from Dannii's sister Kylie Minogue. Dannii My Style is out in autumn.

Backstage secrets

2011-07-19T10:33:00.000+01:00

It's the last of the Final Showdowns tonight on Australia's Got Talent. Last week Danniis happy pill won the TV chart again and was the no 1 show of the week. Brian took the Morning Show crew behind the scenes where the God father chatted with Dannii about the show. The stunner from down under was asked to reveal a secret about fellow judge Kyle.

Dannii & Kyle are like Dannii & Louis on X Factor, giving each other catty comments (mostly coming from the male side) and gestures on the show.
Lou-Lou who's the only original judge left on the U.K X Factor says he misses Dannii.The Irish man can one day give the diva a compliment to another slam her. During the weekend that was, it was all love

I really miss her. I got on brilliantly with her last year even though before that we couldn’t stand each other. Becoming a mum has definitely mellowed her and made her a better person. I honestly think she is more talented than Kylie

Recaps and more on the last Final Showdown tomorrow

No more M&S

2011-07-18T08:53:00.002+01:00

There seems to be lots of changes this year. First Dannii left X Factor U.K and now she has left the Marks & Spencer campaign. The model contract is said to have been a part of her XF contract and Dannii was an M&S girl from 2010 to 2011. The latest campaign got a lot of criticism or being bad edited with the girls looking grumpy.

Only a few days ago Dannii was credited for helping the sales rise when the clothing chain released its new sale report. "Redknapp & Minogue help M&S ride out of retail storm", was the headline.
Today however it's reported that she is too young for their targeted group and no longer fit in the TV ad campaign.

There's been a problem in the gallery with the registration. Until sorted you may now register without having to confirm it via email.

The name you know

2011-07-16T13:34:00.000+01:00

Now there was a time when they used to say...
For those who are following the news daily you can't have missed whats going on with Murdoch, British press and politicians. Between the wars are these two gals.

The Minogues, Dannii & Kylie who've been sweating headline after headline about their relationship which is 'critical' 'full of jealousy' 'bad blood' etc etc. The amount of stories regarding showbiz most famous sisters are enough to keep fireplaces warm until the end of time.

Most affected and targeted has been Dannii. But the diva never cared much about the printed press and just keep doing her thing. Her daily is My Daily. There she is a blogger/reporter and a few weeks ago she gave Kylie fans the opportunity to ask questions which you can now watch here.

Which brings us to Kylie. One of the contributors has sent in another article from the beginning of the Minogues and the latest steps back in time with an introduction of Kylie. Kylie then unknown to the public was doing soap operas and said at the time:

I'm the actress and Danielle is the singer/dancer.

Project D was the weekly challenge of Project Runway Australia this week. The winning design was made by Craig Braybrook who will get to see his creation online shortly. In September Dannii goes from her story to her style and the autumn/winter collection of the label will be out. British actress Kelly Brook is the latest to shine in that collection who was spotted wearing a number from the upcoming line yesterday. More on Project D soon.

Australia's Got talent is near the end and you can catch up on all the talent goss here.
Tomorrow Dannii films the last part of the final showdown and then it's Grand Final time.
