Kylie gets into homewear

Kylie Minogue is set to release her own line of homeware next year.

The singer has already planned most of the line and has vowed it will be a "fun" range.

She said: "I have some homeware coming out. Not curtains - but bed linens, throws and cushions. I haven't made it to pots yet. I want to have leopard-print ones. I mean, let's inject a bit of fun into it!"

Kylie, who was speaking to her 'Doctor Who' co-star David Tennant in an interview for Britain's BBC Radio 2, revealed she found her "spiritual home" while filming her scenes for the Christmas special of the sci-fi show.

She said: "I loved it. In the trailer on my first day I really felt like I was in my spiritual home."

The '2 Hearts' singer plays Astrid, a waitress at the 1912 launch party for the doomed ocean liner Titanic, in 'Doctor Who: Voyage of the Damned'.

Girls Aloud star launches make-up range

Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts is launching a make-up range for women with pale skin.

The redheaded beauty has created the line as part of reality show 'Passions', after producers asked the girl group to "take on a challenge to fulfil a life-long dream".

Nicola said: "Being a singer comes naturally to me so I have really
appreciated this challenge.

"I decided to create my own make-up range for pale skin because I have pale skin myself and I know how difficult it can be to find the right sort of sexy look with the products already out there.

"Hopefully I can help a lot of girls out there to look their best." The 22-year-old star's idea has already proved a hit with her fellow
redheads. One female student commented: "I can't wait for it to come out. It's a fantastic idea because it's often difficult for girls like us to find the right sort of make-up and no-one seems to cater for us.

"At the moment I always end up looking like a ghost on a sunny day!"

Meanwhile, Nicola's bandmates will take on challenges of their own.

Cheryl Cole will learn to street dance in the city of Compton in Los Angeles, Sarah Harding is heading to Argentina to learn how to play polo, while Kimberley Walsh is keeping her challenge a guarded secret. Nadine Coyle controversially quit the project earlier this month when producers refused to let her take on charity work.

She said: "I'm not really into reality things or things that aren't to promote Girls Aloud.

"I wanted to do something with a charity in Bolivia that got kids off the street, but it didn't sit with the programme."
