KYLIE MINOGUE will not announce her engagement to on/off lover Olivier Martinez during a live concert, according to the event's organisers.
Kylie Minogue leaving her west London home. London, England - 28.03.08
Media outlets in the Czech Republic have been speculating the Spinning Around hitmaker will announce the news at a concert in Prague on 12 May (08) - because she asked for an "unusually high" number of tickets for family and friends.
However, concert organiser Jarda Hainzel insists she has been misquoted.
She says, "When contacted by local media regarding the Kylie concert in Prague, I commented that the number of requests for tickets for this show was more than normal, which I take as an indication of Kylie's popularity in Czech Republic.
"At no stage did I speculate on Kylie's personal relationships or on any announcement she may or may not make on the night.
"We do believe this will be a special show, as it is Kylie's first concert in our country, and I am very much looking forward to meeting her, however we have no reason to believe there is to be any special announcement during the concert."

Post a commentMADONNA'S DAUGHTER WANTS TO PROTECT SPEARS
Pop superstar MADONNA wants the media to stop targetting troubled singer BRITNEY SPEARS - because her daughter LOURDES feels sorry for her.
MADONNA with her daughter LOURDES
She says, "(The media) need to step off. For real... Let's go save her.
"(Lourdes) knows Britney, but she doesn't really watch TV or read gossip stuff. I think she sort of gets the drift of what's going on, and I think she feels very protective of Britney."
Earlier this year (08), Spears lost the right to visit her sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, last month (Jan08) after a breakdown at her Beverly Hills home. She has also spent time in a rehabilitation centre and has been plagued by driving offences.

ESTELLE HITS OUT AT U.K.'S WHITE SOUL STARS
Singer ESTELLE has launched a scathing attack on the British music industry - for promoting white stars as soul singers.
Estelle at the Capital Awards held at the Riverbank Park Plaza. London, England - 20.03.08
The R+B diva shot to the top of the U.K. charts last week (beg17Mar08) with her hit American Boy, but is bitter she had to work in the U.S. before she was able to succeed in her native country - unlike fellow British artists Duffy and Adele.
She says, "I'm not mad at them, but I'm wondering - how the hell is there not a single black person in the press singing soul?"
"Adele ain't soul. She sounds like she heard some Aretha records once, and she's got a deeper voice - that don't mean she's soul.
"That don't mean nothing to me in the grand scheme of my life as a black person. As a songwriter, I get what they do. As a black person, I'm like: you're telling me this is my music?"

MCFADDEN REGRETS DIVA DEMANDS
Former WESTLIFE star BRIAN McFADDEN regrets acting like a diva at the start of his solo career - realising his behaviour was 'arrogant'.
Brian McFadden out and about with a friend. Sydney, Australia - 27.03.08
The Irish singer left the boyband in 2004 to pursue a solo career, and was delighted when his first single Real To Me topped charts around the world.
But McFadden admits he allowed success to "go to (his) head" and take advantage of the things he missed out on while he was in the band.
He says, "I was very arrogant.
"I had to have first-class flights for me and my team that I didn't need, but I wanted to take advantage for the things they'd done in the past.
"I even had a hairdresser on a retainer of GBP100,000 a year. It was ridiculous."

PREGNANT JOLIE SUFFERING FROM DIABETES?
Pregnant actress ANGELINA JOLIE has developed a form of diabetes which affects mums-to-be, according to U.S. reports.
ANGELINA JOLIE
The Tomb Raider star is reportedly suffering from such painful swelling in her legs and feet that she has to wear shoes half a size bigger than usual.
U.S. magazine Star claims the 32-year-old is finding her second pregnancy "difficult".
A source tells the publication, "Angie has gestational diabetes. She found out about a month ago and has been trying to keep it under wraps.
"She's sick and irritable and feels heavy and weak. She's been seeing a nutritionist about it."
Gestational diabetes develops in a small proportion of pregnant women and results in high blood-sugar levels. It is usually treated with diet and exercise and is reversible but sufferers run the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes as a consequence.
Jolie - who is expecting her second biological child with partner Brad Pitt - already has a daughter, Shiloh, and three adopted kids, Maddox, Pax Thien and Zahara.

MORTON 'STALKER' CLEARED
A man has been cleared of harassing actress SAMANTHA MORTON - but ordered to stay away from the star.
Samantha Morton at The premiere of 'Control ' at the 61st Edinburgh International Film Festival held at Cineworld. Edinburgh, Scotland - 17.08.07
Noel Watts, 42, was said to have imagined a "fantasy relationship" with the Minority Report star, after becoming infatuated with her when he began dating one of her friends in the 1990s.
During the trial, Morton told the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court how Watts bombarded her agent with "angry" letters, calls and texts declaring his love for her.
Watts escaped the harassment charge, because Morton only ever received one text message. However, he was given a restraining order to stop him from contacting her.
But Watts was convicted of harassing Morton's agent Nicola Van Gelden after "frightening" her with texts and phone calls meant for the star.
He was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison for this offence, but will not serve as he has already spent 62 days on remand.

MYERS UPSETS HINDU COMMUNITY
Actor MIKE MYERS has sparked controversy in Hindu communities for 'lampooning' the religion in his new movie THE LOVE GURU.
Mike Myers as Guru Pitka in the comedy 'The Love Guru'
The 44-year-old plays Guru Pitka in the upcoming film and repeats the mantra of Mariska Hargitay - inspired by the American actress - as his calming technique.
But Hindu leader Rajan Zed has accused Myers of stereotyping the culture, adding the movie "appears to be lampooning Hinduism and Hindus".
Studio Paramount Pictures has agreed to a preview of the movie for Hindu leaders prior to its release.
A spokesman says, "Love Guru, which is not yet complete, is a satire created in the same spirit as Austin Powers. It is our full intention to screen the film for Rajan Zed and other Hindu leaders once it is ready."

KLUGMAN SUES TV BOSSES FOR QUINCY CASH
QUINCY star JACK KLUGMAN is suing TV executives at NBC in America, claiming they owe him royalties from his beloved medical drama.
Jack Klugman at The Acting Company's 35th Anniversary Celebration held at Cipriani Wall Street. New York City, USA - 12.11.07
The actor insists he's still owed profits from the hit show 25 years after it last aired - insisting the studio is lying about the show's worldwide profits.
Klugman claims he is entitled to 25 per cent of all "net profits" from the show, and that NBC bosses haven't been paying him.
In the legal documents, Klugman claims he tried to get NBC to turn over all its papers regarding the show, but was turned away with a letter that said they were "unable to comply with your request."
The 85-year-old also states his own copy of the contract was lost when his agent died, prompting him to demand the copy from NBC.
The lawsuit aims to force NBC bosses to produce the contract and provide the cash he claims he's owed, plus legal fees.
Klugman says, "I recently heard that they made $250 million and it's still on TV in Germany. I don't want their money. I want my money.
"I worked my tail off. I got up at four in the morning and stayed at the studio. I did rewrite, I edited."

BRANSON SON 'NOT DATING' IMBRUGLIA
LATEST: Virgin boss SIR RICHARD BRANSON has quashed rumours his son SAM is dating Australian singer NATALIE IMBRUGLIA - stating the star is just a longtime family friend.
SAM BRANSON with his father RICHARD BRANSON
The Torn star was linked to the 23-year-old heir after they were spotted cosying up at a party to celebrate Sam's planned Arctic expedition earlier this month (Mar08).
But the business mogul claims the pair found the news humorous - because his son has been dating actress Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe for a year.
Branson says, "Sam was very flattered to have his name attached to hers but he actually already has a girlfriend. He's known Natalie since he was about 15, she's a close friend of the family.
"I saw Natalie last week and she was certainly smiling about the whole situation."

GET SMART BRAND NEW POSTER
In Theaters June 20, 2008
Director: Peter Segal
Cast: Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin, Steve Carell, The Rock, Terence Stamp
Synopsis: In the all-new action comedy 'Get Smart,' Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS.
When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS' master plan—and each other—they discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. Given little field experience and even less time, Smart—armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm—must defeat KAOS if he is to save the day.
