Kylie Minogue Named Penguin Ambassador

Pop star Kylie Minogue has been named an ambassador for penguins in her native Australian.

The singer has been recruited to support the birds at Phillip Island Nature Park, a wildlife haven in the southern state of Victoria.

She says, "One of my fondest memories is our family's trips to Phillip Island. It was our regular holiday destination and we always visited the penguins.

"I'm thrilled the area and welfare of the little penguins has been preserved, and I hope they will find a place in the hearts of the many tourists who visit each year." (c) WENN

Keith Urban Rules Out Collaboration With Nicole Kidman

Country singer Keith Urban has ruled out any talk of a duet with his actress wife Nicole Kidman - because the star couple have a pact to stay out of one another's careers.

Kidman has previously demonstrated her vocal talent in musical Moulin Rouge! and collaborated with British pop star Robbie Williams for the hit single Somethin' Stupid in 2001.

But Urban - who dedicated his Best Country Album gong at the 2007 Australian Recording Industry Association (aria) Awards on Sunday (28Oct07) to his beloved wife - insists he has no desire to mix business with pleasure anytime soon.

He says, "(The album) would not exist without my wife, she was the inspiration for it. She is very prevalent in most of the songs.
