Minogue shoots comedy scenes

30.09.2008

KYLIE Minogue will feature in a new comedy sketch show in Britain.

The Australian pop singer has filmed a special guest appearance in London for new BBC3 show Horne and Corden, starring British actors Mathew Horne and James Corden.

In one scene, Minogue is walking along as a love-struck Horne appears to run towards her, the Daily Mirror reported today.

Just when it looks as though the pair will embrace, Horne runs past and Minogue realises the object of his affections is behind her.

Horne and Corden are best known for their work on hit British sitcom Gavin and Stacey.

Their new show goes to air in February.

KYLIE Minogue is closing in on the Wiggles` dominance of Australia`s entertainment rich list.

The singer earned $40 million in the last year to see her clinch second spot on the annual BRW Top 50 Entertainers list.

Minogue`s fortune is closer than anyone has got to children`s entertainers the Wiggles in years.

They took the top position for the fourth year running after amassing $45 million in 2007-08 - $5 million less than they earned the previous year.

BRW editor-in-chief Sean Aylmer said Kylie`s growing fortune, up $13 million, was in part thanks to her sell-out world tour.

"Her extremely successful world tour explains why she has done so well," Aylmer said.

"Performers earn more now through performing rather than CD sales."

Rounding out the top five are rich list veterans actors Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman and children`s entertainers Hi-5.

Nicole Kidman, who gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose this year, was notably absent from the top 10.

Her income was $4.5 million this year, compared with $35 million the year before.

"Actors tend to change a lot," Aylmer said.

Kidman`s husband, country singing star Keith Urban, is seventh with $12.3 million, behind actress Cate Blanchett on $14 million.

Rock Group AC/DC, filmmakers James Wan and Leigh Whannell and Anthony LaPaglia have also made the top 10.

Aylmer said this year`s list saw surprise inclusions from artists, models and tribute groups.

"It`s a much more diverse list this year than normal," he said.

The new face of David Jones, Miranda Kerr, made $3.6 million to come in at 25th, ahead of her Myer rival Jennifer Hawkins  - two spots behind with $3.3 million.

Aylmer said the most impressive debut was the Pink Floyd tribute band, The Australian Pink Floyd Show, which came in at 14th after earning $6.5 million.

An ABBA tribute band was also on the list.

Actors and musicians dominated the list while five authors made the list, including Bryce Courtenay.

Broadcaster Alan Jones earned about $5 million to come in at 21.
