On May 28th, in just over a weeks time, female-kind will breathe a sigh of relief. Kylie Minogue will join a special club that all women eventually become exclusive members of.
Most of us love the sweet little pop poppet; whether you like her music or not you have to admit that she has carried her own brand of cuteness well over the years - never growing above that 5 foot 2 inch mark and wearing those shiny little hot pants when other women her age were smearing their thighs with cellulite creme and rubbing industrial strength potions onto their stretch marks.
No Kylie has remained the eternal teeny girl throughout the past two decades and abit. Like I said, you may not like her style of music but you have to admit she has always looked great and especially now that she has kicked that cancer to the kerb she looks even better. Call me catty but she is just a wee bit more filled out than she used to be…and she looks all the better for it.
But all those women who watched and admired Kylie over the years, fruitlessly scrutinising each picture of her for just one tiny line or wrinkle - or even the slightest hint of cellulite on those immaculate thighs - all those women will, on the 28th May, take a very deep breath and feel their bond with Kylie has become complete.
Because on May 28th Kylie Minogue turns 40.
Come on Kylie, show us one little dimple and the sisterhood will love you forever!

Just recently I wrote about a controversial new film called Frontier(s) which is currently on a strictly limited one week release in cinemas. There are only a handful of theaters who have agreed to screen this film as it is being shown uncut and entirely unrated. Such a thing is quite rare these days and when it does happen it tends to attract a lot of publicity and attention.
Of course due to this publicity and hype I expect people will flock to see this latest Horror Movie in their droves. As for myself I live a bit too far from any of those theaters so am able to say quite honestly that there is no way I will be going to see it.
Have a look at the trailer and then decide for yourself. Yes, it is extremely gory and contains full on violence - but whether you consider the violent content to be purely gratuitous or rather simply over the top schlock would depend on how easily scared or shocked you are.
Personally it seems as though society is becoming more and more immune to shocking images these days and whether or not you agree with it is neither here nor there. My son has seen the trailer, proclaimed it ‘cool’, and I expect he will probably purchase the DVD when it is released on May 13th. I guess the younger generation have become conditioned to such images in films; they see them in video games and of course what you see on the evening news is pretty bad in that it is reality.
Yep, if you go along in the next few days and see this movie you can be assured of being totally scared out of your wits but if you think you can just leave it all behind when you leave the theater think again…the world is already full of living nightmares.

I have been following the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition in recent weeks and I was so astounded by the sheer talent, and the passion, of those entrants. These kids were no more than eighteen years old and all displayed a drive and ambition that I wish was prevalent in more British youth these days.
But of course, that is what music does for you - if only more parents would make the sacrifice and put their money towards music lessons for their kids rather than booze, fags, Wii’s and cheap holidays to tacky Spanish resorts.
Young Peter Moore, aged just 12 years old, became the youngest winner of this highly regarded competition by impressing the judges with his ability on the trombone. He started playing at six and six years later has the maturity and skill of a seasoned professional.
His parents are brass players; the whole family play music and this is the key to this boy’s ability, success and confidence in himself.
It just proves that the family who plays together stays together.
