Here is the latest from Whammo news

IS J-LO SEXIER THAN KYLIE? (NO!)
J Lo: more desirable than our Ms Minogue? Surely not, yet that’s what the latest opinion pole has found. While Kylie topped the list of desirable women in the UK and Australia, the Durex survey placed J Lo on top of the world rankings. Kylie ceratinly isn't letting it effect her sales. The success of her latest single Come Into My World is a tribute to her growing fan-base and Whammo will begin a Kylie Minogue page and newsletter soon. Make sure you click your way to the Subscribe page and follow the instructions to be a part of our Minogue mail-out.

RUSSEL: THE COLDEST PERSON IN HOLLYWOOD?
Première Film Threat, an online film magazine has dished out recognition for Russell Crowe’s well-publicized antics by voting him at the top of their ‘Frigid 50’ list and referring to him as ‘the coldest person in Hollywood’. Aw, come on guys, he’s just a little misunderstood and he surely can’t be the worst. Hang on. Winona Ryder is close, Richard Gere’s hardly a barrel of laughs and Barbara Striesand has been difficult for years but Russell? Yep, actually he is the worst. Even more damning than his number 1 ranking was the claim by the online mag that his behaviour ‘easily cost him an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind’. Ouch. Hopefully his film career will pick up soon; otherwise he might put out another album!

DANNI DENIES ACCUSATIONS
Dannii Minogue is in plenty of hot water over her comments in an interview with GQ magazine. According to the junior Minogue, her statements about Asian residents of Queensland was mis-quoted and lets face it, it wouldn’t be the first time an artist’s words were twisted to make an entertaining story (especially in the UK!). Now Dannii’s suddenly become the pin-up girl for right-wing political factions including the British National Party who have taken liberties by including Dannii on their web-site. It’s not the best publicity Minogue could have hoped for at the time of a major single release: Put The Needle On It. Coming from Melbourne, one of Australia’s most multi-cultural population centers, Minogue has been appalled by the media who have labeled her as a racist and is considering legal action.

IMBRUGLIA: THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
It looks as though Natalie Imbruglia may be giving up her jet-set lifestyle in favour of the homely pleasures in life; boyfriend, family, pet. After several years in the UK Imbruglia was happy to be back in Oz and confirmed her intentions to make Australia home once again. Natalie will play her first major shows in Australia as part of the massive Rumba Festival, which will tour Australia this month. With Silverchair on the verge of a national tour it seems her support of boyfriend Daniel Johns has paid some dividends and Natalie still maintains that being with her beau is her number one priority.
