Dannii Minogue Playboy
Minogue posed naked in the Australian edition of Playboy in October 1995. Minogue explained why she appeared naked, saying she “just had a marriage break-up.” Most ladies visit a hairdresser; I went to Playboy. I got to pick the photographer, the location, what I wore or didn’t wear, and everything else about the photos. It was a very liberating and uplifting experience for me.” She later said that she had posed for the money since she was penniless after her divorce.
Dannii Minogue All I Wanna Do
Minogue grew interested in club music after Steve “Silk” Hurley released many remixes of her tracks. The remixes, she says, were “the first thing I did that was really cool, and my love of dance music and clubbing started from there.” Minogue’s love in dance music and clubbing informed her third album, Girl, which was released in September 1997 and included collaborations with musicians such as Xenomania’s Brian Higgins. The album showcased a more refined and adult style of dance music, but despite largely favourable reviews, it did not chart in the United Kingdom. The lead single, “All I Wanna Do,” was hailed as a “bass-bumping, shuddering return” by the Daily Mirror and reached at number four on the UK singles chart.
Dannii Minogue X Factor
In 2007, Minogue turned into an adjudicator on the fourth series of The X Variable UK, close by Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne. She selected Leon Jackson, Rhydian Roberts, and Andy Williams to represent her in the live rounds and served as a mentor for the Boys category. She was the first woman to win the show as a judge. Minogue was the host of the Nickelodeon UK Kids’ Choice Awards ceremony in 2008. In 2009, Minogue got back to the show’s fifth series close by Cowell, Walsh and Cheryl Cole.
She picked Daniel Evans, Rachel Hylton and Ruth Lorenzo as her last three contenders for the live shows. Minogue lost her final act in the quarterfinal, leaving her without a competitor in the semifinal. Throughout the fifth season, a number of people in the entertainment business questioned Minogue’s qualifications as a judge and mentor. Minogue wept during a live broadcast of The X Factor on November 22, 2008, and she was unable to introduce Rachel Hylton, one of her acts. In spite of the controversy, public votes and polls showed that she was popular.
Minogue mentored the Girls category for the sixth series in 2009, choosing Rachel Adedeji, Lucie Jones, and Stacey Solomon as her final three acts. Minogue was unable to participate in the seventh series’ audition episodes in 2010 because she was pregnant. During the judges’ houses stage, she returned and chose Paije Richardson as her wildcard act and Nicolo Festa, Matt Cardle, and Aiden Grimshaw as her final three. Her only act that made it to the final was Cardle, who ultimately won. Minogue became the winning mentor for the second time.
On 14 May 2011, it was declared that Minogue wouldn’t be returning for the eighth series of The X Element UK. Minogue stated, “During discussions for me to return (to The X Factor), it became clear that unfortunately, this year, the X Factor audition dates in the UK clash with the live shows of Australia’s Got Talent during June and July.” In response to the question of why she had made the decision, Minogue said, I cannot return for this reason.” Kelly Rowland took her place.
Minogue talked about her time on The X Factor and her work on talent shows on the ITV documentary The Talent Show Story in January 2012. Gary Barlow, Walsh, Tulisa, Rowland, Simon Cowell, and host Dermot O’Leary were among the other The X Factor judges who were interviewed. Minogue served on the judging panel for the ninth season of Sky Living’s Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model alongside Elle Macpherson and Tyson Beckford in June 2013. She took over for Julien McDonald and Whitney Port.
