I am delighted to hear Kylie Minogue is sporting a spiky look as her hair recovers from cancer therapy but am distressed at Stuart Heritage's unkind response to news of a children's book on the way.

Somewhat predictably, the book that Kylie has written seems to be a kind of whistlestop autobiography for toddlers. Entitled The Showgirl Princess (two of Kylie's favourite words, after the Showgirl tour and the Impossible Princess album), the book is all about a little girl who becomes famous.

We're short on details of the plot, but we'd expect the little girl character - let's call her Mylie for now - gets very famous in a cheaply-made soap opera, then starts singing, then makes a handful of awful films (including one based on a beat 'em up videogame), then stops being famous, then gets her arse out in a pair of tiny hotpants and becomes more famous than ever.

The cad! Beat 'um up video game adaptations are a perfectly respectable way to make a living and tiny hotpants are nothing if not welcome when so gracefully sported. Time to have another looking at Kylie riding an elephant (hat tip to Porchboy).
