Kylie Minogue's posterior is 'Hit of the Brits'
Kylie Minogue's bottom was unanimously voted the "Hit of the Brits" by the
London tabloid press on Friday after the British record industry's big
night of the year.
Australia's pocket-sized pop princess brought the house down when she
performed a duet on Thursday night at the music awards ceremony in London
with American star Justin Timberlake, one-time beau of Britney Spears.
Minogue has conquered the pop charts on both sides of the Atlantic with her
catchy songs but it is in Britain the tabloids are obsessed with her
posterior.
"Kylie desirable" decreed The Daily Mail after her Brits spectacular.
"Kylie's bum is so yum," proclaimed The Daily Star.
"A Dream Bum True," The Sun said.
As Kylie wiggled provocatively in their duet, Timberlake could not resist
grabbing her most famous part.
Afterwards the 22-year-old American was lost in admiration for the
34-year-old Australian's much-lauded figure.
"I've heard people in Britain are obsessed with Kylie's bottom and I can
totally see why - I'm pretty obsessed with it now too," he said.
"On a scale of one to 10, Kylie's bum is a 58," he said after their raunchy
"Rapture" duet.
"I could be real deep and serious and say there was a million reasons why I
wanted to work with Kylie," he said.
"I want to say it's because she is so professional and cool but if I'm
honest, it's probably because she's got the hottest ass I have ever seen."
The former soap star from Neighbours had a string of hits in the 1980s and
early 1990s but her career then slumped.
Now she is a hot ticket once more in the notoriously fickle music industry.
Tabloids have even claimed that Kylie had plastic surgery to give her a
perfectly crafted posterior.
The singer, whose skimpy, corset-style outfits have set male hearts racing
around the world, has forcefully denied the stories.
"I really don't do anything to my backside," she said.
"I have been getting a lot of grief about my posterior.
"It appears to have become a national obsession but I think the fuss is
ridiculous."
