| 2007-10-09 | Kylie honoured at Q Awards | Kylie Minogue has been named idol of 2007 at this year's Q Awards.
The singer, who is still recovering from breast cancer, got a standing ovation as she picked up her award.
She said: "It's my first day back at work like this so it's very exciting and slightly nerve-wracking."
The Arctic Monkeys picked up the award for best act in the world today.
The band lost out in the best album category to Amy Winehouse for Back to Black and also missed out in the best live act category, won by Muse.
Manic Street Preachers took the award for the year's top track for Your Love Alone is Not Enough, while the Kaiser Chiefs got the best video for their track Ruby.
Enemy were best new act, while top breakthrough artist was Kate Nash.
Sir Paul McCartney won Icon of the year and former Blur frontman Damon Albarn took the prize for inspiration.
Collecting his award Sir Paul thanked his late wife, he said: "I thank Linda for seeing me through some real tough periods," he said, before thanking his former Beatle bandmates and his "fantastic, beautiful" children.
A lifetime achievement prize went to ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, with the Q legend category going to Ian Brown.

| 2007-06-07 | Kaiser man's Damon row | Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has hit back at Damon Albarn.
Blur and Gorillaz man apparently said recent Kaisers LP Yours Truly, Angry Mob was "empty and try-hard".
Now Ricky tells the Daily Star: "I don't give a s*** what Damon says. It's one man and his opinion. Of course we tried hard - it was our second album. He can say what he likes."
Indeed. It's unlikely Damon himself could ever come up with such a lyrically powerful and complex single as the Kaiser's Ruby.
