Kylie Minogue on the cover of Elle UK.

1. Doesn’t Madonna Gwen Stefani Lindsay Lohan look fierce on the cover of ELLE UK?

Actually, hello Kylie Minogue.

In the accompanying interview, 44-year-old Kylie spoke candidly about her feelings on aging – well, kind of candidly. “There are lots of times I look in the mirror and see that gravity has taken hold,” she said. “Or suddenly see my face on a phone or on Skype and it’s like a Spielberg special effect and you just scream, ‘Who is that?’”

Kylie insists her makeup-free face makes her look 94, not 44 and that she hasn’t had surgery – but hasn’t ruled it out in the future either. Kylie says women shouldn’t have to apologise about having plastic surgery done.

* cough * Can we respectfully suggest that ‘surgery’ is a slightly disenguous term to use. Does it mean she hasn’t had a facelift or that she’s never used anything other than make-up, skin cream and SPF30+? What about filler? Botox? Collagen?

Kylie, we love you but you do not have the same face as you did 20, 10 or even 5 years ago. So let’s not pretend your approach to aging is au-natural. Take a look:

“I look at someone like Jane Fonda – I’m a super fan of hers, she doesn’t apologise (about her surgery) and she shouldn’t have to. We put make-up on every day, we tint, pluck, wax, we do anything to make ourselves look as good as we can and I think it’s pointless being hypocritical about something that if it’s done well can be really good.”

3. Tell us: Would you wear it? It’s a glitter, tiger-striped jumpsuit teamed with black leather over-the-knee boots. And it’s what 47-year-old Shania Twain wore during her first concert in eight years. Coincidentally, it’s what we were all planning to wear to the Mamamia Christmas party. Snap Shania!

5. BIRTHS, DEATHS & MARRIAGES

Which celebrity has given birth to her sixth child? If she doesn’t have one already, 42 year old Antonia Kidman is going to need to buy a Tarago. Or maybe a tour bus. She’s just given birth to a baby boy, three weeks before his due date.

In a statement she said:

It is with great delight Craig and I are thrilled to advise that Alexander Norman Kidman Marran arrived safely in the early morning of the 3rd of December weighing a healthy 3kg.

Alexander caught us by surprise arriving earlier than anticipated with Craig and Sybella jumping on a flight from Singapore and arriving this morning.

Forty-two-year-old Antonia has four children from her first marriage to Angus Hawley – 13-year-old Lucia, 11-year-old Hamish, 9-year-old James and 5-year-old Sybella – and one more child with her current husband Craig Maran – 22-month-old Nicholas. All of the children are said to be extremely excited about the new addition to their not so small family.
