Kylie Minogue Gets French Culture Award

When it comes to international superstars, few women can compete with the worldwide appeal of Kylie Minogue. And the “Locomotion” singer was in Paris France this past weekend getting ready for a world tour (the first gig is tomorrow in Paris).

Yesterday, Miss Minogue was spotted at a press conference to endorse Spanish jewelry brand TOUS. She looked stunning in an all-black ensemble as she held a bouquet of flowers and smiled for the cameras.

Then, earlier today she received one of France’s top cultural awards- she was made a Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et Lettres (Knight of Arts nad Letters) for “the cultural pleasure she has given French people.”

French Culture Minister Christine Albanel announced, “Princess of pop, uncontested queen of the dance floors, you are a sort of Midas of the international music scene who turns everything she touches into gold, from records to micro-shorts. Even if it isn’t the part of your anatomy which is the most often praised by the media, you have a big heart.”
