She promised an ‘extravaganza’ and Kylie Minogue delivered just that for her 50th birthday celebrations. The Aussie pop icon threw a star-studded party at London’s Chiltern Firehouse in May where she served bespoke cocktails called I Should Be So Lucky, Spinning Around, Stop Me From Falling and Wild Rose. Among her guests were Neighbours co-stars Jason Donovan and Guy Pearce, as well as celebrity friends like Melanie C, Alan Carr, Patrick Cox and Graham Norton. She also shared a snap of herself cuddling new boyfriend Paul Solomons.
Kylie is normally reluctant to throw a birthday party, telling Fairfax Media before the bash: “It’s really unlike me. I sort of shy away from that kind of thing. For parties, I usually keep them very small, but on this occasion, I’m not. But I’m also not doing an Elton John, when he arrived as Louis XIV in the back of a truck.”
