I'll admit that I have absolutely no idea who this woman is but if these threats are real, I hope she gets the protection she needs.

The bigger question is why is this on the gay voices page?

Sounds like a plant for media attention. I mean there are only so many gay men in the world! Expand your audience! I saw a 3D concert from UK on cable wasn't that impressed( fast forwarded to only hits).If it's true it is probably a tweak-er when they come down they will have forgotten all about it!

God, just leave the creative people of the world alone already. Look how much we lost with John Lennon's passing. Be a fan, but don't be a FANatic.

I hope she catches whoever is responsible and they are brought up on legitimate harassment charges. Superstar or not, nobody deserves having their life threatened.

I wondered the same thing... I thought maybe she was threatened because she was gay... Is she gay?

She is a bit of a gay icon in Europe. From what I've read, she just didn't want to tackle the US market--was content with Europe and Australia.

I very much sympathize with stars when it comes to stalking. Fame has lots of perks, but this isn't one of them. Stars must accept the fact that their lives will be intruded upon to a certain degree. That pretty much comes with the territory. But they are particularly vulnerable to stalking. When millions of people know who you are, the odds are pretty high that one of them will have a screw loose.

This is one reason why I can't understand why so many people these days seem to want to be famous even if wealth doesn't come with it. I can't think of anything worse. Famous people have greater security concerns. But most of them can afford to pay for extra security to protect themselves.

It would be a drag to be famous and have crazy people stalking you but not have any way of protecting yourself from them.

This is not news, let alone gay news. Stop stereotyping.

I'll protect her !

why would anyone threaten Kylie Minogue? i'm glad she's taking the threats seriously and seeking the protection she needs to keep herself safe.
