Queen Honours Kylie
We've always known her as the Princess of Pop... But now Kylie Minogue shall be known as the Princess of Pop OBE. Topping off what's been a great year for Kylie, she's now been awarded an OBE in the Queen's New Year's Honours List. Having inspired millions around the world with her very public battle with breast cancer, Kylie's comeback has now reached a new level. Talking about the honour from Down Under, Kylie said: "I feel deeply touched to be acknowledged by the UK, my adopted home, in this way. "I am almost as surprised as I am honoured to be awarded an OBE by Her Majesty The Queen Sir Ian McKellen"This last year I have felt so much love and support from everyone as I took greater steps back into the public domain, and it is with absolute gratitude and joy that I say farewell to 2007 and look forward to what the New Year will bring." Other stars from the world of showbiz to be given the royal nod include Michael Parkinson, Julie Walters, Leslie Phillips, Richard Griffiths and Sir Ian McKellen... Sir Ian, better known as Gandalf, has now joined the elite circle of Britain's Companions of Honour.
