Kylie Minogue promised her new tour would be 'spectacular' and the Aussie star certainly didn't disappoint with her opening show of 'KYLIEX2008" in Paris last night.The pop petal wowed the Parisian crowd by talking French and mesmerising them with a myriad of ground breaking costume changes.
With a career built on her chameleon like qualities, the singer transformed from a Yankee Gladiator to an Indiana Jones GI.
Sparing no cash on special effects, Minogue descended on her adoring French fans on a supersized skull which welcomed her in to track 'Like A Drug'.
Next up it was a dance with sailor boys, then into a blond S&M geisha with thigh high thorned leggings, before finally giving her own take on the statue of liberty.
Defying claims she can no longer sex things up, it wasn't long before the determined starlet was locked in a cage with male dancers suspended and squirming about her.
The star surely has been drinking from the cup of youth, stunning the crowd with a 180 splits, while been lifted a loft another troop of hunk men.
Ministers face row over cannabis regarding
Underfire Gordon Brown is heading for a new battle over cannabis.
Ministers appear set to ignore official advice on the regrading of the drug from Grade C to B.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is due to oppose the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) advice to keep cannabis grade C.
But Gordon Brown is understood to be keen that the drug is reclassified to B amid particular concerns about the prevalence of the stronger "skunk" variety.
The Prime Minister wants youngsters to be in no doubt the Government does not approve of cannabis use, after protests that its class C status sent out mixed messages.
ACMD will today publish its report - which was passed to ministers last week - as Ms Smith makes a statement to MPs on the Government's stance.
The report has been compiled by a group of experts, including doctors, police, judges and drug counsellors, who are thought to have concluded that cannabis should remain class C.
Jane Harris, of the mental health charity Rethink, said reclassifying cannabis would make little difference and education is what is really needed.
She said the charity wants the Government to make it compulsory for warnings about cannabis to be put on packets of rolling paper.
"We have written to every single rolling paper company we can think of, asking them to do this as a voluntary measure and they have all said no," she told GMTV.
"What we really want is health education. The Government promised a massive public education campaign three years ago. We have seen none of that.
"When you look at smoking, they have put millions into that and it's made a difference."
