Dannii Minogue

Strict Mistress Seeks Naughty Boys

Tell us about the famous Minogue temper. Did you really get into a scrap live on air with Jonathan Ross?

I don't want to talk about that. He was rude. Rumours about my temper are greatly exaggerated, I don't like injustice and I'm happy to complain when things aren't right, but most Australians are like that.

	Alcohol and men are my biggest vices. I do like a lot of vodka. Stoli or Virgin preferably

Did you appear in Australian Playboy just to get back at your ex-husband Julian McMahon (son of Australia's first political family) for his cheating with a 19-year-old starlet?

I'm really not like that, I probably wouldn't have done Playboy if I'd still been married, but it wasn't to upset or shock anyone. There's a bad girl in me, but not always. Mostly I'm a goody-two-shoes.

So do you think you're more like your character Emma in Home And Away.

Because Emma was the punk with the rebel hairdo and Kylie was sweet little Charlene, I end up the bad one, but it's not true. I'm the youngest, but we do have a brother between us. It wasn't just me and Kylie. She was the eldest and the trailblazer, I was the baby, wanting attention.

So are you into leathers and motorbikes?

I love motorbikes! But I've never been on anything like the bikes in the Maxim shoot. They're sculpted around your body and go at 200mph. Can you imagine?

Do you have any vices?

Alcohol and men are my biggest vices. I do like a lot of vodka. Stoli or Virgin preferably, I also like champagne, but that's it. Debauchery is a good thing. It means mad nights out with your friends when you drink too much and dance. The worst I ever got was in Tokyo. I'd been taken out to perform in a club and ended up so drunk on saki

So much for Ms Goody-Two-Shoes. No wonder you have so many admirers.

I really hate this stuff about me and Kylie being unable to keep men, maybe we just don't want to. Did you think of that?
