Dannii Minogue has told the Evening Standard that Kylie has quit showbiz for six months to give her a “chance to shine". "She will be chilling in Australia - she has been working really hard lately," Dannii told the newspaper, "So she said to me "Okay, you take the baton now, it's your turn to run with it and do your best. Of course there is competition between us - like there is with any two people in the music business. But it's good natured stuff and there are no catfights. We give each other a break when we need it." Kylie pushed back the release of her next single a week to avoid a head to head clash with her sister.
Meanwhile Kelly Osbourne has said her elder sister Aimee is helping with her first album. Kelly has told reporters it was Aimee's idea to record a cover of the Madonna hit. "Doing Papa Don't Preach was my sister's idea. It was going to be on her album but she isn't ready to put anything out yet so she suggested I do it," she said. "My album is very pop. It was a whole new experience writing music. I don't know whether my dad's fans will like the album or not.” Aimee is the least familiar of the Osbourne family because she refused to let the cameras follow her life in the MTV reality TV show, moving out of the family home for the duration of the filming.
