Is Kylie Minogue Still Hot?
Kylie Ann Minogue (born May 28, 1968) is a Grammy and ARIA Award winning Australian dance-pop singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Minogue rose to prominence in the mid '80s through her role in the Australian television soap opera Neighbours, before she commenced her career as a pop artist in the late '80s. According to Warner Music Australia, Minogue has sold an estimated 65 million records worldwide.
Signed to a contract by British songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman, she achieved a string of hit records throughout the world. Her popularity began to decline during the early 1990s, leading her to part company from Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992. Minogue distanced herself from her earlier work and attempted to establish herself as an independent performer and songwriter. Her projects were widely publicised, but her albums failed to attract a substantial audience and resulted in the lowest sales of her career to date. She returned to popularity as a dance–pop artist in 2000, and became well-known for her provocative music videos and expensively mounted stage shows.
Minogue has established one of the longest and most successful careers as a performer in contemporary pop music, and in Europe and Australia, she has become one of her generation's most recognisable celebrities and sex symbols. In Australia, after being dismissed early in her career by some critics, she has been acclaimed for her achievements; she holds the record for the highest ticket sales for an Australian tour by a female performer and has attained nine number-ones on the ARIA singles chart.

Lily Cole (Arena Magazine UK)
Lily Cole Does Arena UK.
Lily Cole (born May 19, 1988) is an English supermodel.
Cole's big break came in 2003 when her long limbs, pale skin and fiery red hair caught photographer Steven Meisel's eye. It was on that photoshoot, her first 'only girl' story for Italian Vogue, that Cole was catapulted into the spotlight as one of the leading new faces of the year. Since then, Cole has worked with many other prominent photographers, including Craig McDean, Nick Knight, Juergen Teller, Arthur Elgort, and Irving Penn.
Cole is featured in top fashion magazines such as Vogue (American, Italian, British, Japanese and Korean), Citizen K, and V. She has also appeared on the cover of Numero and twice for British Vogue. In November 2004, the British Fashion Awards named her 'Model of the Year'. Additionally, Cole has appeared in advertising campaigns for designers such as Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Hermès, Longchamp, Cacharel, Topshop, and Anna Sui Cosmetics, as well as being the face for Moschino's perfume 'I Love Love.'
She is a common sight on the catwalks of the international runway circuit and has walked many top shows- Chanel, DKNY, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Louis Vuitton, to name a few. People who worked with her say she is warm and friendly in person.[citation needed]
Cole is part of the group of supermodels who have "doll-like" or "elfin" features along with Heather Marks, Gemma Ward, and Devon Aoki. She is also one of the few red-headed models with very successful careers, others being Cintia Dicker, Jessica Stam (who currently sports blond hair), and Karen Elson.
In February 2006, Indiewire.com broke the news that Marilyn Manson planned to star Cole in his upcoming movie Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll. Shorts from the movie have been featured on his website and a feature length film is also planned.
Cole has been announced as the follow up model for Accessorize, taking the place of model Claudia Schiffer. She also appears in the video for Girls Aloud and Sugababes' cover of "Walk This Way" in aid of comic relief.

Lucy Pinder (Nuts Magazine)
Lucy Katherine Pinder (b. 20 December 1983 in Winchester, Hampshire, England) is a glamour model notable for her large breasts.
She was spotted by a freelance photographer while sunbathing on Bournemouth beach in the summer of 2003; as a result of photographs taken that day, she signed a professional modelling contract with The Daily Star, which has propelled her into the public eye. In the 2005 UK edition of the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World Lucy was a new entry in the poll and finished 16th overall. She appeared at 35th place in the 2006 poll.
Unlike most glamour models, Pinder had refused to pose for photographs showing her nipples, until she finally posed topless for the weekly UK lads mag Nuts in the April 6-April 12 issue in 2007.
She is regularly photographed breast-to-breast with other glamour models, including Michelle Marsh and Sophie Howard.
Lucy has been dating her boyfriend, Daniel Hooper, a carpenter, for five years, although they have no plans to get married. She lists some of her dislikes as clowns (especially Pennywise from It), wasps and racism. She is an ambassador for Kick 4 Life, a charity that uses football to fight poverty and disease in the developing world. She is also a Southampton Football Club supporter.
She appeared at Loaded Nightclub in Spalding for the national Babes on a Bed competition on Easter Saturday 2007. Where Rachel, Tara and Hayley went through to the final.
