Kylie Minogue's 'black Girl's Butt' Remark

Kylie Minogue's 'black Girl's Butt' Remark.... Pop superstar Kylie Minogue reportedly stunned partygoers at an event in the French city of Cannes last week (ends25May07), when she publicly declared her love of her "black girl's butt".

The Spinning Around hitmaker is said to have giggled as she danced and compared her derriere to that of Beyonce Knowles and Latina singer/actress Jennifer Lopez at the Dolce & Gabbana party, according to British newspaper the Daily Mirror.

She is reported to have said: "Look at my butt. I've got a great black girl's butt, kinda like Beyonce and J.Lo. I may be from Australia but I think I must have some blackness in me.

"You'll never hear me wishing I had a smaller butt. The bigger the better."

And Minogue, who battled breast cancer last year (06), is proud to have "curves in the right places".

She added, "I love having curves - forget these skinny girls. I love feeling feminine and womanly - being curvy in all the right places is part of that."

Angelina Jolie's secret wedding

Angelina Jolie is secretly planning a lavish wedding for her and her lover Brad Pitt, it has been reported

The actress - who has been married twice before - is said to have secretly accepted Brad's marriage proposal, and is now organising a ceremony which will dwarf the actor's 2000 $1 million wedding to Jennifer Aniston.

A source told Grazia magazine: "Angelina has been reluctant to get married for a third time, for obvious reasons.

"Brad has been persistent and has now given in, but she wants the day to be really memorable. While she doesn't want it to be unnecessarily lavish, that's not her style, it will still be an event Hollywood will never forget.

"She also wants their children to see it as a huge celebration of her and Brad's love for them. The daytime part of the celebration will be for the kids, with clowns and balloons and fire-eaters. But then the real party will begin in the evening."

Angelina - who has three adopted children, Maddox, five, Pax Thien, three and Zahara, two, and a biological daughter with Brad, one-year-old Shiloh - is to start looking at dates and venues in the autumn.

While Brad and Jennifer served lobster at their nuptials seven years ago, Angelina is said to be keen on hiring a celebrity chef to specially create a dish for the event.
