Bite-sized pop gnome Kylie Minogue has been forced to cancel the Australian leg of her "Showgirls" tour after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Sometimes there is a time for snark in the face of disease (like, what if Usher got leprosy of the nutbag? Now that's comedy!), but we sincerely wish Kylie and her boobs a safe and speedy recovery.
Kylie was diagnosed earlier this week in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia, while visiting her family and getting a routine breast exam (which, despite the awkwardness of that last sentence, was not administered by her family). Luckily, the cancer was detected early, but the singer will still have to cancel several dates of her tour while she undergoes immediate treatment. Ever the trouper, Kylie made a statement actually apologizing to her fans for having cancer! Minogue adds, "I was so looking forward to bringing the Showgirl tour to Australian audiences. Nevertheless hopefully all will work out fine and I'll be back with you all again soon," she said. Brits will be delighted to know that Kylie's butt (her can is as obsessed over in the U.K. as J. Lo's is here) has been given the all-clear, however, and will continue to thrill audiences for years to come.
