| 2014-08-04 | Kylie And Lulu Close The Commonwealth Games |
Kylie Minogue and Lulu were among the stars who performed at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, marking the end of 11 days of sporting action.
The event got under way at Glasgow's Hampden Park stadium with fireworks before Lulu sang her famous hit Shout.
The singer, who is from the city, told the 40,000-strong crowd: "Isn't it great to be here tonight everybody?
"Tonight is all about saying thank you so I think we need some very important people to come on down here to get this party started.
"Welcome the athletes from Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games."
The athletes emerged from almost 700 tents dotted throughout the stadium as the crowd cheered.
The competition, featuring 17 different sports, saw more than 140 Commonwealth and several world records broken.
England topped the medal table, followed by Australia, Canada and host nation Scotland.
Deacon Blue paid tribute to the behind-the-scenes workers who kept the city going for the duration of the Games.
The Glasgow band performed their anthem, Dignity, which tells the story of the dreams of a local council worker.
The thousands of volunteers who helped make the Games a reality were next to be thanked.
Local synth-pop trio Prides introduced the Games volunteers - known as Clyde-siders - as they performed their song Messiah.
About 100 volunteers featured in the ceremony, representing the 15,000 Clyde-siders who gave up their free time to keep the Games moving like clockwork.
Representatives of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo also performed in the stadium before the flag of the Commonwealth Games was later lowered.
The next Games will be held in 2018 in Australia's Gold Coast. One of the country's best-known figures Kylie Minogue played a seven-song set.
She performed hits including Spinning Around and The Locomotion - which got the crowd on their feet, including Prime Minister David Cameron, First Minister Alex Salmond and the Earl of Wessex.
Mr Salmond said: "The overwhelming impression of Glasgow and Scotland's Games is of a job extremely well done.
"We hope we have taken the baton on for the Commonwealth and present it to the Gold Coast in fine order."
Mr Cameron said: "We say thank you to the people of Glasgow, the organising committee, the city council, the troops the police, the athletes.
"It has been dazzling, it has been wonderful, it has been a joy to behold and you have made the whole country proud."

Kylie Minogue is desperate to follow in the footsteps of sister Dannii Minogue by starting a family - but fears she's too old to conceive a child.
The Australian pop star is looking forward to welcoming a new member of her family when Dannii gives birth next month.
Minogue is keen to have babies of her own with boyfriend Andres Velencoso Segura, but the 42 year old is worried she has left it too late to fall pregnant naturally and admits her 2005 cancer battle has also taken its toll on her body.
She says, "I'd love to have babies, but, it's very hard. Perhaps if you are resolutely sure that is not the path you want to go down, that's OK. But if there is an element of doubt, you can't help but question it. It's not fun.
"I still take medication (to make sure the cancer doesn't return) and there are a lot of women who stop taking the medication because they just can't stand the side effects... I have under a year until I get my five-year all clear."

The stars seem to be falling over themselves to sing alongside Britain's latest bunch of Steve Brookstein wannabes on The X Factor.
The Daily Star reports today that Simon Cowell's people have had none other than Beyonce on the blower in an attempt to line her up for an appearance in this year's final.
Resurrected boy band Take That are also in talks to appear on the show. "Simon Cowell wants to end the series on a high with two of the world's biggest pop acts," said an X Factor insider. "Last year we had Kylie and Katherine Jenkins performing duets with Leon and Rhydian, and this year we want Beyoncé and Take That. It'll be the hottest ticket in town."
They're not wrong. But that's not all: as we've previously reported, the new, fresh-faced and booze-free Britney Spears 2.0 is also going to put in an appearance on the show later in the year. "I've always said this about Britney - that she's a hugely talented person. Everyone wants to work with her because she's a star," cooed Simon at the time.
"The fact that she goes a bit crazy occasionally makes her more interesting," he added. "If she wants to shave her head before she comes on the show, she's welcome to. I don't care."

| 2008-01-16 | Kylie defends album |
Kylie Minogue has defended her latest album, titled "X", against critics who found the record too impersonal.
The Aussie singer released the album after recovering from breast cancer and didn't want to remind herself of the experience by writing songs about it.
She tells Australia's The Daily Telegraph: "The only bit of criticism was saying that it wasn't that personal.
"Having been ill, I didn't want to write about being ill, not a whole album. I wanted, for my own sake, to do what I do, which is songs like Wow, In My Arms, 2 Hearts."
Had she gone the opposite direction Kylie is sure she'd still face criticism adding: "If I had done an album that was totally personal there would be comments the other way."

Kylie Minogue is suing Pete Waterman.
She is suing the Pop Idol judge, 58, for the loss of Ј443,000 royalties from her Greatest Hits album.
The 36-year-old claims she was underpaid by ten per cent. The record was released in 1992 and then re-released ten years later reports the Evening Standard.
Waterman's production company, Melbourne based PAL, has since paid her an extra Ј265,000. But the singer is demanding damages at Victoria's Supreme Court and PAL will contest the claim.
Waterman, who once declared Minogue to be 'the greatest artist I have ever worked with', split from his songwriting partners Mike Stock and Matt Aitken in the early 1990s.
The trio wrote and produced the young Kylie's early hits but she severed her ties with them after the 1992 album was released.
Waterman, who received the OBE in the new year honours list, has criticised Minogue for 'selling out' by adopting a raunchier image.

He added: "I've never taken it out. It hits the lady where she likes it. And because it swings, it can be effective in any position."
The Sun says he spoke about his hoop in FHM magazine as Kidman stepped up her bid to stop him revealing all about their romance in a planned film of his life.
A source close to the actress, tipped to wed Kravitz before they split in December, said: "She was shocked when she heard of his plans. She was always very discreet about their relationship."

| 2004-04-28 | George Michael king of the airwaves |
George Michael is the most played artist on British radio.
The singer has received more airplay than Robbie Williams, Elton John and Madonna.
Songs such as Careless Whisper and Faith have earned him millions of plays on radio stations up and down the country and now he is being honoured by the Radio Academy for his achievement.
"I can't believe it. I've only made six albums in 22 years so I don't know how this happened. I'm the luckiest writer on earth," Michael said.
His hits with Wham!, including Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, I'm Your Man and Last Christmas, helped him top the chart of most played artists of the past 20 years.
Sir Elton was second in the list, followed by Williams.
Kylie Minogue was fourth and one of only two women to make the top 10 - the other is Madonna at number six. Bryan Adams is fifth thanks to his hit (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, which topped the charts for 16 weeks in 1991.
The chart was compiled by Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL), which collects royalties from radio stations on behalf of record companies, from the 600 national and local radio stations in the UK.

| 2004-03-09 | Britney pips Kylie after catfight |
A battle between pop princesses has ended with Britney Spears sweeping to the top of the singles charts, leaving Kylie Minogue trailing.
Britney is back at the top of the chart for the first time in nearly four years after beating Kylie to the number one spot.
Her single Toxic, which has one of the raunchiest videos she has ever recorded, went straight in at number one, while the Aussie star's new single Red Blooded Woman reached just number five.
Britney last topped the chart in May 2000 with Oops!... I Did It Again.
Her victory was all the sweeter after Kylie, 35, took a swipe at the 22-year-old American's risque videos.
"I'm no prude. But I'm not going to those lengths," Kylie said. "I've always been on the right side of the line."

| 2003-07-23 | Search for Kylie Minogue after reported 'abduction' |
Police began a search for Kylie Minogue after people reported a woman who looked like her being abducted in London.
However it was soon discovered that documentary makers had faked the kidnap outside her flat in the south-west of the city.
The search for Kylie was called off when the makers phoned police to say the abduction was a hoax.
Kylie was not at her flat when the incident happened. Her spokesman said she was in the recording studio at the time, says theDaily Mirror.
Scotland Yard said they would be issuing strongly worded advice to documentary makers in the future.
They believed the team were from Channel 4. The channel has denied any involvement.
Kylie's spokesman added: "This is an incredibly irresponsible thing to do and I can't believe anyone would be that stupid."
