There ain't nothing like a dame
Kylie Minogue OBE has - as the preceding letters suggest - been made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire; this being a post-nominal order if I am understanding how this all works correctly. So not a Dame per se but I hope Flea-readers will excuse the tag-line nonetheless (hat tip to Capt. Heinrichs).
"This last year I have felt so much love and support from everyone as I took greater steps back into the public domain, and it is with absolute gratitude and joy that I say farewell to 2007 and look forward to what the new year will bring."
Cheers to that. Also honoured: Gandalf, now a Companion of Honour. The Telegraph has the full honours list available as a pdf file for anyone checking to see if they have once again been overlooked.

If she were two classes up, she'd be a Dame. The top two levels in the order are knights and dames.

Proving that the flea really does have friends in high British places.
