She was followed by Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney, who landed the second spot on the list, reports the Daily Express. Third on the list was actor Brad Pitt while former Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham fourth. Rounding off the top five was Elizabeth Hurley.

The petite Australian has been gracing our screens in one form or another for the past 28 years, and could now be described as a global treasure,” Britain’s Daily Telegraph gushed today. The UK’s Sun newspaper called Minogue an “incredible woman”. “She has managed the impossible - men lust after her, women love her and little girls want to be her.” On her website, Minogue’s fans have posted more than 200 birthday messages, with some trying to reassure the star that life begins at 40.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has described Kylie Minogue as being like “Girls Aloud rolled into one”.
Martin, who also called the pop star as “awesome”, revealed that Minogue had written a song for the band’s new album ‘Viva La Vida’ but it wasn’t used.
“I took apart the song she did with us, like a Corby trouser press,” Martin told Q.
Coldplay and Minogue’s collaboration occurred because they both share the same record label, Parlophone.
However, Martin said that their sessions together were fraught and then band didn’t think Minogue’s song would fit on the new album.
‘Viva La Vida’, the bands fourth album, is released on June 12th.
As previously reported, the band will play two free shows – in New York and London – to celebrate the album’s release.

Kylie Minogue changed a gay Paris into a mardi gras as she kicked off her 2008 world tour at the Bercy Stadium last night.
The princess of pop ditched her golden hot pants for a more modern look as she celebrated her 21st year of stardom.
The singer - 40 at the end of the month - opened the show in a floor-length purple and gold gown that was more suitable for a red carpet premiere than an energetic stage show.
Around 10,000 screaming fans from as far away as Australia applauded as she rose onto the stage. And Kylie lapped it up as she performed a string of her old hits. She managed seven costume changes in her lengthy 28-song set - and even managed a few words of thanks in French.
Pals David Tennant and Matthew Horne made the journey across the Atlantic to see the star, who gave herself a well-deserved break in the middle of the set before unleashing 12 more songs. She beamed as adoring fans constantly chanted her name.
Queen of pop Madonna may have been playing across town, but now it appears she has a serious contender for her crown.

PS HQs from the show are coming! <3

Here’s the setlist of the first part of the show. I’m not 100% sure about it, though.
