Mini-interview: Kylie’s superstitions

The world’s [aside the US of America, apparently] favourite Antipodean, the sexy-pop queen we can’t get enough off - concert- or goss-wise - appears to have some strange habits and practices.

Kylie Minogue, who recently admitted “I always end up in my knickers in a photo shoot,” like it was something unusual, also claimed that "I should be in the film 'Bewitched' instead of Nicole Kidman because that’s what my life is like.”

“I start each day by turning the teapot three times clockwise and once anticlockwise. It brings me luck and I've had plenty of that over the years. I know it's all a bit spooky. I do other things too - I don't walk under ladders and I throw salt over my shoulder."

Meanwhile, the 36-year-old star has revealed that she signed-on for benefits after leaving school. Kylie, who has had six number one singles in her 16-year pop career, admitted she registered for unemployment allowance as a teenager because she feared she wouldn't make it as an actress - but believes that her superstitions helped cement her success.

"I was intending to become an actress so it was standard practice to sign on for it.”

“As it happens, maybe due to the teapot thing I made an OK living out of show-business."

Still, deep down she knows her biological clock is ticking out and she’d like to nestle with a good man and babies.

“Obviously a woman my age can’t help but think about those things. I can hear the gentle tick of my biological clock. Most of my friends have children. They talk about the joy and magnitude of it all.”

Our heart bleeds… genuinely.
