Dannii Minogue wears a bikini
Look. The only thing I know about Dannii Minogue is she’s the sister of Kylie Minogue. Beyond that, I don’t know why she’s famous. Well, I do know she had some lesbian thing with a stripper once, but besides that, I know zilch. Nada. For all I know she could be a world renowned mathematician or just some chick that jacks off bulls for their semen. She’s a mystery wrapped in a riddle.

She was originally more famous than Kylie in Australia, due to some TV series she was in as a child. More well known in the UK for her time on the Australian Soap “Home & Away” (where Alias’ Melissa George first became famous - I think they may have been in it at the same time).
Home and Away is the rival to “Neighbours” on Aussie TV - Neighbours being the soap where Kylie made her name. That show was also the springboard for the likes of , Alan Dale of the OC (who played Kylie’s father-in-law) Holly Valance of Prison Break Guy Pearce of L.A. Confidential and Memento, Radha Mitchell, Natalie Imbruglia as well as a few others I seem to remember (Russell Crowe was famously in a couple of episodes in his early career).
Danni Minogue was once married to Nip Tuck’s Julian McMahon (another ex-Home & Away cast member) whose dad is a former Australian Prime Minister.
She’s now a judge on the Simon Cowell show “X-Factor” in the UK, which IIRC was the successor to “Pop Idol” - which of course became “American Idol” in the US. I have to say that it’s quite bizarre to see Danni Minogue pronouncing on the singing ability of others, since her rather feeble pop-career was almost entirely fashioned in the slipstream of her sister’s success and her time as a character on a low-rent Antipodean soap opera.
* God - I know too much about this kind of s**t - I really must get out more.*
No, Danni Minogue will not be replacing Evangeline Lily on the next season of ‘Lost’.
