Kylie 'disappointed' with new album

Pop ikon Kylie Minogue - wHO will do in New Zealand for the first time in December - has admitted she is disappointed with her terminal album X.

The Australian-born vocalizer says although her X2008 tour has been well received, her post-breast cancer LP wasn't as dependable as it could have been.

Kylie told Britain's The Sun paper: "In retrospect we could definitely have bettered it, I'll order that straight up. Wow, 2 Hearts and In My Arms are balmy - they go cancelled like a frog in a windsock - only given the time we had, it is what it is."

Despite a brobdingnagian push from her record label, the album�flopped in the US - non even making the top 100 of the American album charts.

However, Kylie isn't upset that Stateside success has eluded her.

She aforesaid: "I constantly go over there with the same attitude I've always had, which is, 'If it's to happen, it'll materialise.' I'm kept pretty much meddlesome enough. We'll see. I'm not racing over in that location. I'm heading home."

Kylie besides revealed an unlikely inspiration for her tour - rock band Queen, in particular former flamboyant frontman Freddie Mercury.

Kylie added: "I'm releasing my inner Freddie Mercury. It's hard to explain only parts of the show are so over the top. When I whistle Your Disco Needs You it's a real Freddie moment."

Kylie will perform at Auckland's Vector Arena on December 8.

Pete Doherty Dead In New Art Exhibit

A Glasgow art exhibition has displayed a range of pictures by Scottish artist Peter Howson, depicting troubled rocker Pete Doherty as dead.

The six pastels of The Babyshambles frontman slumped in various poses has created a stir, however, Howson defends his work saying he understands the controversial musician and his battle with drugs and alcohol.

"Pete Doherty is someone who has really interested me over the last few months," Howson explains.  "His spiral downwards reminds me of what I went through myself and I can identify with the way he is acting. Me wanting to paint him dead was pointing the finger at him and saying 'You can influence a whole generation'. He could, if he wanted to, become the right kind of hero."

A spokesman for Doherty responded to the exhibition saying, "Peter Howson has never met Pete as far as I am aware, so I don't know where he's getting his inspiration from. We have not seen the drawings and I don't see how Peter knows that much about Pete's lifestyle."
