Singer Kylie Minogue, who was named most inspirational celebrity of 2006 in a poll of British teenage girls, is currently playing in London and receiving rate reviews. She has seven shows scheduled in the British capital this year in a sold out tour that’s full of gorgeous costumes and scantily clad men.
Holy Moley, a British gossip newsletter that seems to make up a lot of shit wholesale, attributes Kylie’s wide-assed grin to medicinal marijuana, but I’m not so sure:
Smiley Kylie is back on top form and it appears she can’t wipe that grin off her bony chops. The reason? In remission, in love, in concert and consuming such large amounts of pot that she’d give Bob Marley a white-out if they went head to head in a competition.
[From the Holy Moley e-mail newsletter, 1/5/07]
The reason I’m not completely buying this claim that Kylie is smoking a lot of pot is because London’s Evening Standard just ran a story called “Kylie the Smiley Showgirl Returns” about her triumphant comeback tour after beating breast cancer. It’s not that much of a stretch to attribute her smiling to pot use. Holy Moley makes up a lot of gossip to get links, and I’m playing into it by even running this story, but I doubt it’s true.
Medical marijuana is legal in the most populated state in Kylie’s native Australia, New South Wales. Marijuana is said to help with the naseau of chemotherapy. Kylie completed her chemotherapy regimen in late 2005.
Kylie received a standing ovation before she even started performing on New Year’s Eve, bringing the singer to tears. She’s smiling a lot because she’s performing. With such a great reception, who can blame her?
In these pics of Kylie on stage her eyes do look a little drowsy, but that can probably be attributed to her makeup. Pictures from France-Vidcaps.
Pot is better for you than alcohol. It’s a fact. Love it.
Drugs are drugs, whether it is alcohol, pot, cigarettes or prescription medication. It’s up to each individual person to decide what amount is appropriate in their lives.
I really hope this is true…Kylie is too goody goody by far.
Western Australia is our biggest state, New South Wales, our most populous 🙂
Thanks for clarifying that xiaoecho, I will fix that part of the post.
whatever helped her get through the chemo .. God bless her, she had a tough year or two.
Anybody would look “drowsy” with those huge false eyelashes weighing down your eyelids like that. She doesn’t look like a pothead to me.
I wouldn’t classify it as impossible, she did date Michael Hutchence remember.
By all accounts though, she’s a controlling perfectionist so I doubt she’d perform stoned.
