Cover Girl Dannii

I know this is a week old but I finally got around to scanning it tonight. Dannii really was everywhere last week. She graced the TV guide cover as well as featuring in Famous, Who and OK magazines. So much $ucce$$ for our sweetheart!

Club Dildo - Autographed!

You're looking at my very own autographed copy of "Club Dildo" courtesy of our kind friends over at Dannii's label! Isn't it lovely? I can't believe Dannii's delicate fingers touched this piece of paper less than a week ago. Thank you, Central Station. I'll treasure it forever!

Dannii looking like SEX at the Logie Awards

It was great to see the baps were out!

Dannii presented the award for Best Comedy. Anyway, Kath and Kim won. The highlight was seeing Dannii on bended knee presenting the award to Gina Reilly and Jane Turner.

I'm sure once more pics are up and about we'll share them all with you, as well as any footage that may popup on youtube.

A Dannii's Dirty Box Pictorial Exclusive!

So tonight was our Dannii's performance on "It Takes Two", and yours truly, along with some other random fans, including some fans of DDB, headed on down to the studios in South Melbourne to see Dannii and get some photos.

Nathan was at the studios as well and I do have to admit I adore his accent! I'm a sucker for different accents, however I think I should stop there as I know Mike will kill me if I say anything too positive about Nathan! I'll just say I got a photo though and I feel like I've met royalty!

Dannii came out more than an hour after the show finished. I assume she was probably either hitting the booze backstage or she was doing some promo for Australia's Got Talent which starts next week.

Here are some of the pics I snapped while seeing Dannii after the show!

Dannii's Diary: Day 2

First day of walking and I am faced with a vertiginous climb. Wow! Have I done my training for this – sure!!!! I wore in my trekking boots by putting them on while I typed some emails at home the night before I left Melbourne, and I did a few climbs 2 weeks ago in Los Angeles – yup...I’m nervous!

This is the mountainous part of the Great Wall, where it sits between the Black Mountains and the Qilian snow capped mountains. It is a few kilometers up to the highest Northern viewing point then a 9km descent to the Jiayuguan Pass and Fortress. As you can see we are amazed to be here and stop to capture it on loads of "happy snaps" – or breathing stops! The air is very thin and the altitude is making my heart best like a caged Tyrannosaurus.

AJ and I are comparing our "weigh ins" for the day – everyone is expecting to lose weight on this trip, but as a late comer to the event, I’m told that none of the others have so far; even with the long days of climbing, and unusual meals that are sometimes not at all appetizing. Adam has brought me up to speed with his story of being the Real Aussie GAY Cowboy, and I tell him, it doesn’t get any gayer than taking a stroll with Olivia and me singing Xanadu!

Walking through the fortress we stop for some arrow shooting – I split when I saw Johanna Griggs giving Kieren Perkins advice, as she was laughing out the side of her mouth, as I was standing right behind them. I am amazed at the amount of time Olivia manages to spend with all of sponsored walkers – she absolutely loves to see we are all okay and loves to catch up on giggles and heart felt moments. She is always there with the biggest hug.

As we are in the desert, any form of vanity has gone out the window – dust masks are needed for long treks across the desert plains – on returning to the hotel, I can report that we are covered in it, and I confess to finding dust in every orifice – and that is not a nice feeling! The water that we shower in has a brown colour, and so getting clean is done as quickly as possible.

Tip of the day: do not drink any tap water. It is wise to make sure none gets swallowed in the shower too!

Weigh in: 47.2 kilos

Pedometer says we have done 16.05 kms today!!!!! Having dodged Donkey, Lamb and something that looked like Chicken-ish, at our Mongolian Feast last night – I take my vegetarian taste buds to the buffet in the hotel and knock back some red wines with the gang.
My feet are now in my Ugg boots and I’m feeling fine! Dim Sum and hugs from Disco Dannii in China x

Dannii's Photo Album from the Herald Sun!

Official Club Disco Cover Art

Central Station kindly sent me the official "Club Disco" cover art this afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's still VERY similar to the UK edition but at least they have had the decency to jazz up that hideous font with a little bit of sparkle and I love the box touting Dannii's number 1 club hits! Hopefully they will also add a sticker that says "Featuring all the #1 hits mentioned by Daryl Somers on Dancing With the Stars!". I still think my "Club Dildo" covers packed a bigger punch but this is nice and I can't wait to see it in my local JB Hi-Fi!

Unfortunately, I'm less enthusiastic about the back cover (below) as posted on Dannii's forum. The choice of image and font is almost identical to a fan made cover I posted in Dannii's Dirty Box on the 7th of November 2007. Check out that post here. They've even used the same barcode! I'm certain Central Station are completely unaware of this but it's still really poor. I've brought the matter to the company's attention and I await their response.

DanniiWalk - Day One!

The busty beauty herself is keeping us abreast of happenings with blogs on myspace and with the Herald Sun!

Here is what the pop stunner had to say on her myspace.

Dannii with Livvii

"DANNII MINOGUE : THE GREAT WALK TO BEIJING - DAY ONE
Well...This Is It. (!) I am embarking on a life-changing journey that involves Cancer - but this is the first one I have chosen! I have had family and many friends who have survived this disease, and two dear friends that I have lost. Cancer seems to be more and more a part of everyone's life. Why? - I want to scream as loud as I can.

Everyone taking part in The Great Walk to Beijing is on a personal mission - survivors, medics and others like me who have seen in close quarters, this devastating illness.

Dannii with Adam Sutton & Olivia Newton-John

Two flights from Melbourne I end up at the beautiful Ritz Carlton in Beijing. After checking in and meeting a few of the team, we hear a famous Jamaican called AJ singing in the lobby... but opera! It wasn't exactly what I was expecting to hear on my first visit to China... but it was "a yes from me" - this guy moves us with his vocal ability. I ask him if he will join us on the walk, come meet Olivia and sing for her too. Apparently the wheels are in motion for AJ to meet us on the wall - so before I have even made my first sponsored steps, I have recruited a random.

A welcome nights sleep in a bed that is like a cloud, then we are up early to depart Beijing - a city of 16 million people with smog thick enough it cuts the view of the sun.

Our first flight lands in Xian. We touch down briefly enough to reboard a flight to Jiayuguan. We are now in Western China in a desert city that seems positively deserted. After two days of non-stop travel, I am over air transport and can't wait to get my walking boots on and 'Get physical'!

Love and Dim Sum from Disco Dannii in China x

TIP OF THE DAY: carry toilet paper - you will never find that in the public toilets.

FACT OF THE DAY: 8 is a lucky number and 'Eggplant' is what they say in Chinese when they take happy snaps - like we say "cheese".

WEIGH IN: 48.5kilos."

Beyond fabulous! Make sure you sponsor Dannii and check with us at DDB for the latest updates on Dannii's travels.

Dannii's Adventure!

If you didn't know, our Dannii is in China walking despite her fabulous baps handicapping her immensely. I think I speak for everyone at Dannii's Dirty Box when I say that I fully respect and admire Dannii doing this walk! My grandmother died of cancer, so Dannii's adventure means a lot to me and is another example of Dannii's stunning $ucce$$ as a human being! Is there anything this woman won't do?

No, there really is not. All hail Dannii, Queen of all our souls!

Dannii Lands In South Africa

Here's a snap of our holy priestess arriving in South Africa on the 17th of January. I'm glad Holidannii is staying true to form by squeezing in yet another trip. It's not like she has a new single to promote or anything. Oh wait.

World AIDS Day Ambassador

Regardless of the eventual chart position of "Touch Me Like That", Dannii will always be #1 with her army of gay fans. Many desperate divas rely on the pink dollar to fund their failing careers but very few of them ever give anything back to the gay community. The glaring exception is Dannii Minogue. As a long time supporter of Mardi Gras in Australia, Minogue Jr performed at the event in 1998 and recorded the 1999 theme song, "Everlasting Night". Since finding mega-stardom in the UK, Dannii has been an avid supporter of gay rights and has promoted World AIDS Day for many years. As a Terrence Higgins Trust ambassador, Dannii is not only the Queen Of Clubs but also the face of safe sex in the UK (above). Such is the importance of Dannii's role that she was invited to speak with Prime Minister Gordon Brown about her concerns (pictured below). I love to joke about Dannii's ability to do nothing in great style but I'd like to applaud her generous and genuine contribution to this most worthy campaign.

Dannii's World AIDS Day message:

"At the moment we have a problem with young people finding it easier to actually have sex, than talk about wearing a condom. Last year alone nearly 8000 new cases of HIV were diagnosed in the UK and there is still no cure. As Ambassador For Young People I'd like to see easier and quicker methods introduced for HIV and STD testing and for better sex education to be made part of the school curriculum. Stay safe and sexy by using a condom every time you have sex."

Touch Me Like That - The Cover!

The official cover for "Touch Me Like That" has finally been unveiled and, quite frankly, I don't know what to think! I love the fact that she's stolen Celine Dion's wig and is wearing something La Toya Jackson threw out in 1985 - but what the fuck is going on with the scary drag make-up? And don't even get me started on the cheap font and lazy, white background. I really wish Dannii would consider using the lovely cover below instead.

Touch Me Like That - The Video

Here is a picture of Dannii on the set of the "Touch Me Like That" video, freshly lifted from Pop Justice. This looks like such a classy affair. I can't work out if Dannii is wearing PVC or has simply painted her arms glow orange. Whatever the case may be - Dannii looks smoking HOT, in a trannytastic kind of way! I have good vibes about this, can't wait to see the finished product.

Dannii Update

Sorry for the lack of updates but I've spent most of the week in hospital. I'm back and ready to resume my Dannii worship albeit under the influence of painkillers. Here is a brief re-cap of events in Dannii-land while I've been away. Please let me know if I've forgotten/missed anything.

White Diamond

The highlight of my week was waking up in hospital to see Dannii on the evening news talking about Kylie's "White Diamond" documentary. For a second there I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Dannii looked amazing in her sparkling dress and by all accounts, she totally steals the film! Check out this hilarious video of Dannii being stalked at the film premiere. Dannii comes over to greet these loons at about 3:20 minutes but I find the whole thing incredibly amusing. Watch Dannii work that red carpet!!

Club Disco

As far as I can tell from AATW's confusing announcement, Dannii's "Club Disco" has been postponed due to problems collecting the master tracks. Why is Dannii surrounded by so many incompetent fools? It's seriously getting ridiculous! On a happier note, you can hear clips to all the songs here. Tracks 5, 12, 14, 15 and 16 are new. "Xanadu" sounds AMAZING! I can't wait to hear it in full.

Dannii Merchandise







You can now purchase your very own "Team Minogue" t-shirt or hoodie from the Dannii board. I'm not very taken with the design - what's wrong with "Team Dannii"? I guess it's so people won't get bashed for wearing them. Dannii looks amazing in the black "D" t-shirt but who is the hideous queen they've roped in to model the men's line? The poor thing appears to have fallen into Kelly Llorenna's vat of golden glow.

Funny

I'm not responsible for this amazing Muslim "Unleashed" cover - so don't blame me! Kudos to the artist - I think it's fabulous!

The Things You Find While Googling

I'm lost for words!

Zombie Dannii

I've always mantained that Dannii has the most gifted and tasteful fans. Take this glorious mock cover of the "Girl" re-release by Je5u5. Dannii's record company should seriously consider using this image instead. I personally find it far less distressing than the current monstrosity!

Cover Girl Dannii

Dannii's profile in the UK continues to grow with yet another stunning front page pictorial. There's no story as such, just a bunch of sexy pics from the Neon Nights era. Dannii is not only the queen of clubs but also the new people's princess in the UK!

YTT Fanzine Article From 1988

I came across this fabulous Dannii article in a Young Talent Time fanzine from 1988 and was completely overpowered by Dannii's stunning hair and amazing wardrobe. The pictures are just delightful. Who knew that Dannii could even chop a carrot? Enjoy!
