No stopping Kylie:

Kylie Minogue says she doesn't feel 45 and she wants to have one more go at 'making it' in the USA.

She may be a 45-year-old breast cancer survivor, who is one of Australia's most successful performers with 68 million record sales globally, but that's no reason for Kylie Minogue to slow down - let alone stop.

In a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times, Kylie revealed that she still holds out hope of 'making it' in the US. The fact that she hasn't is a bit of a mystery, especially as her popularity is cross-cultural and spans Europe, Asia, the Middle East and, of course, back at what was once her home - Australia.

Minogue parted company with her manager of 25 years earlier in the year and signed with the management company owned by rapper, record producer and entrepreneur, Jay-Z. She's been in Los Angeles recording tracks for a new album and she was in New York to launch a book entitled Kylie: Fashion which chronicle in photographs her many show costumes and outfits on the red carpet, with a foreword by none less than Jean Paul Gaultier. 

The New York Times reports that over the years, Kylie has probably suffered by being compared with Madonna and her "controlled, specific, thought-out image." Creative director of Elle magazine, Joe Zee, told the New York Times that Kylie is different.

"From what I see, her image is much more reflective of who she is. It's about being fun and sexy," he said.

It is a sentiment echoed by Minogue's long term stylist, William Baker, who describes her as "like champagne bubbles - effervescent glamour."

Minogue told the New York Times that she is not bothered by her age, and pointed out that her contemporaries - such as Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani - are still as actively involved in song and dance as she is. (Madonna is 10 years older). 

She points to her hit video Timebomb (below) released last year as evidence that she hasn't slowed down.

"I don't feel my age," she told the paper. "You constantly see these stories about '40 is the new 50', '50 is the new 60'. Who knows? We can't stop time, so you've just got to make the most of what you have."
