Kylie Minogue wants to tie the knot with boyfriend Olivier Martinez next month, friends have claimed. She has reportedly told pals she wants to walk down the aisle with the hunky actor as soon as she can. She hopes to have a secret ceremony at an undisclosed location in Eastern Europe. Kylie allegedly told a friend: "The time is right." A source revealed to Grazia: "She and Olivier are closer than ever. She wants to marry as soon as possible." Cheers to that!

Here she is in NYC on the way to meet her Scissor Sisters pal Jake Shears

After 'Joey' ended his marriage just recently, it's now time for Scully to bow out. Gillian Anderson has split from her husband of two years, Julian Ozanne. They issued a joint statement through their solicitors last Friday: "Gillian Anderson and her husband Julian Ozanne are saddened to announce that their marriage is at an end and they are in the process of separating. At this difficult time they request that their privacy is respected. There will be no further comment." They got married back in Dec '04 on an island off the Kenyan coast and settled in London with Gillian's daughter, Piper, from her first marriage. At least they've kept their differences away from the public eye. Can't say the same thing regarding Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards.. [scans from their Divorce Papers]

Fun things to do at work
--To brighten up a dull day and worry your workmates!

1. Totally ignore the first five people who say "Good Morning" to you.
2. Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye".
3. To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
4. Walk sideways to the photocopier, crab style.
5. Press the "no cup option" on the coffee machine, kneel down and drink directly from the nozzle.
6. Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch off & on 10 times.
7. For an hour, refer to everyone you speak with as "Barbara"
8. After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in, "the report's on your desk, Mon". Keep this up for 1 hour.
9. In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up dammit, all of you just shut up".
10. Carry your keyboard over to your colleague, and ask, "do you want to trade?"

Those of you who don't have a good rapport with your boss may want to vent it out through some anger management therapy. And please manage your anger SAFELY..

Looks like Monsieur Robbie will be part of the Take That reunion concerts after all. Gary Barlow has confirmed that Robb will join them on stage for at least some of the shows during their current British comeback tour. Because of his own solo tour commitments, he hasn't been able to take part in all of the comeback appearances. For now, Robb will appear on a video screen for now but it's been confirmed he'll be there in person when possible too. "Robbie is doing more than one gig," Barlow has revealed. "I don't know which dates, but he has told Mark Owen he is definitely coming back." There might also be a new album at the end of this year. I suspect the Gallagher brothers are giggling away in some pub over this..

Muse have confirmed the details of the first single to be taken from their forthcoming new album. The band will release 'Supermassive Black Hole' on June 19 although the formats and B-sides are yet to be revealed. Muse will release their as yet untitled new long player on July 3. Time is running out where a new born album must arrive.

Four young lads from Scotland who play a sound that has the soul of Echo & The Bunnymen with the groove of Franz Ferdinand. The Cinematics continue to bolster their already growing reputation earned from tour dates with Snow Patrol, We Are Scientists, Ambulance LTD and Editors. Their spiky angular rock tunes are similar to The Departure and Interpol. 'Break' buzzes methodically around the Echo & The Bunnymen and Franz Ferdinand style, with the whooshing guitars of Scott Rinning and Ramsay Miller giving off a refreshing breezy effect that The Rapture made their own a few years hence. 'Break' is a great song with a guitar hook that reigns supreme and a vocalist that can hold a tune better than most. Quality.

==============================================

Maybe I'll give a track-by-track account of VV some other time. Simply put, the album is like a collection of buffet restaurants at a shopping mall. For now, I'm going to feast me ears on 'Going Gone' for a few hours per day.. Probably the most soulful Vines track ever.

Jennifer Aniston hopes to follow Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon by starring in a musical. (?????). And she is so determined to land a plum role that she's ditched one of her worst habits... Jenn said: "I have quit cigs so that I can get my voice in shape." Getting board of the mundane movie story lines? On the other hand, Renee Zellweger doesn't appear to be making too many friends on the set of her new movie Miss Potter. She plays the title role in the film about the children's author Beatrix Potter alongside Ewan McGregor. The movie is currently being shot in the Lake District, but certain members of the crew don't seem too friendly towards her. One was caught making a rude gesture at her as she departed after shooting an outdoor scene. Perhaps Renee is just as prickly as Potter's Mrs Tiggywinkle character..
