Hey, the Music Industry Trust Award got a lot of press coverage this week didn't it? I must remember to give a prize to Kylie Minogue if we ever stage a CMU awards - I don't remember there being this much coverage when Harvey Goldsmith was presented with the MIT honour last year.
Anyway, as previously reported, Ms Minogue was the guest of honour at this year's MIT event, with everyone present waxing lyrical about just how great Kylie really is. Needless to say, Ian Brown wasn't on the guest list. Among those providing messages for Kylie were sister Dannii, who said: "I am so proud of you. It's been an amazing journey and there's still so much more to come. It's been great to be there from the beginning". Kylie herself said: "It is an incredible honour to be the recipient of this year's Music Industry Trust's Award and I am truly thrilled to be recognised in this way".
In other Kylie news, word has it the singer will play the Tardis when she appears in the forthcoming Christmas special of Doctor Who. Yes, the Tardis. The blue box. As you are all surely aware, that Doctor chap has, in the past, referred to the Tardis as being more than just a machine - implying it is, in fact, a living organism. Certainly strange things happened when Billie Piper looked into to its 'core'.
Anyway, Kylie is due to play a character called Astrid in the special edition of the TV show and that, obviously, is an anagram of Tardis. Hence the thinking Kylie's character will be the living version of the time machine. A source told The Sun: "Viewers have often been told the Tardis is a living organism. But mystery has always surrounded what it is and what gives it its powers. The elements we know about Kylie's appearance all point towards her being the Tardis". It's an important development, obviously.
