Macca Plays Mammoth Hollywood Bowl Set!

Paul McCartney has always given his gig-goers their money’s worth, and last night’s performance at Hollywood Bowl was no exception. My V,V,V,VIP laminates were envy of all!
The 67-year-old ex-Beatle played for almost three hours as well as keeping the 18,000 fans entertained with stories from the swinging sixties, about John, George and even Jimi Hendrix.
I also saw him at Coachella last year and my voice was completely gone by the end of his set. I was exhausted from singing and dancing whereas Paul – who’s technically an OAP – was still going strong (shame on me!)…
He’s one of our national treasures and welcome any time he comes to LA, LA land – you’re a legend Macca… Or should I say er, dad?! (joke.)
Kylie-fornia: Minogue Triumphs on US Tour

Kylie Minogue was finally embraced by Tinseltown last night as the 41-year-old pop princess performed her glitzy show at the Hollywood Bowl.
Minogue told fans as she hit the stage,” Playing at the Bowl is just beyond words. I can’t believe I’m standing on hallowed ground.
And if I think about it too long I’ll get far too emotional.”
The teeny-weeny Australian singer sparkled as she swept through a series of ‘camp’ costume changes including one that featured a planets headpiece and futuristic space mini-dress during her performance.
The fast-paced, two-hour show saw me bopping from the best seats in the house as Minogue sang through her biggest hits, including “Slow,” “Spinning Around” and “Wow.” But the biggest applause greeted “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” her 2001 club hit.
It has to be said however, on stage Kylie is certainly no Madonna, Britney, Christina or Lady Gaga – putting it bluntly the sexy-cat just can’t dance, but then again she doesn’t really need to, there’s still a freshness about her stunning presence that one can not ignore.
I knew nearly every word to every song she sang making this a fantastic show for me, and it was clear that the singer and her manager, Terry Blamey, were thrilled with the reaction from the fans.
Guests at the show included Paris Hilton, Howard Stern, Kate Beckinsale and Kate’s film director husband Len Wiseman who were also joined by Kylie’s boyfriend Andres Velencoso.

Finally! Kylie’s coming to “La-La-La” in LA LA

My favorite Aussie star, the sexy Pop princess (and of course honorary Brit) Kylie Minogue is planning her first ever US tour for this summer and she’ll be stopping off at the Hollywood Bowl on October 4. I can’t wait!
Despite being one of the most successful female singers on the planet, the Americans have been slow to take to our Kyles (meanwhile they can’t get enough of ‘Hairy Angel’ Susan Boyle, who’d have thunk it?)
Can you believe this is her first LA gig? Better late than the devil you know though, eh Kylie? In the meantime, the diminutive popstrel has been posing for these saucy pics for Spanish jewellery firm Tous, proving that she’s still sizzling at 40…
