Kylie Minogue's managers have denied reports that the singer is suffering from "dramatic weight loss" and is desperately searching for "alternative therapy" in her battle against breast cancer. A statement said Kylie is "in good spirits and is as healthy as can be expected" despite "the wealth of rumours to the contrary". Kylie's representatives said that she did not want her fellow cancer sufferers "to be misguided by the false stories regarding her condition and her choice of doctors." Which is probably quite sensible.
The talk, of course, was that she plans to see a holistic medicine guru, Dr Nishi Joshi, whilst other rumours are dwelling on the speculation that singer's weight has dropped to six stone, which people are seeing as a sinister development. They seem to have forgotten that she is less than five feet tall, and that her recommended body weight is probably only just over seven stone. And one would, frankly, expect her to lose a fair amount of weight as a result of chemo because it makes you throw up a lot. Idiots.
