Kylie planning to get married

Kylie Minogue is set to break millions of male fans' hearts by revealing she will marry boyfriend James Gooding.

The pop diva tells chat show host Michael Parkinson she is "sure" the couple will wed one day.

Minogue has found happiness with the Essex-born model after a string of relationships, including a high-profile romance with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence.

Asked if she wants to marry Gooding and have children with him, she says: "I think so ... yes. I always try and not say yes or no because who knows? But I'm sure it will happen."

Minogue, fresh from success at the Brits where she picked up two awards and stole the show with her scantily-clad performance, also admits she had been guilty of putting her career before her love life.

"My current aim for the future is to find better harmony," she says. "I love, love work. I have 15 years' experience which I use all the time.

"But I have neglected a degree of my personal life which is not good and I berate myself for that."

In an interview with BBC Radio 1's Sara Cox on Friday, Minogue claimed she was shocked by the impact of her bottom.

Her appearance in skimpy gold hotpants is credited with reviving her career after she wore them in the video to Spinning Around.

She said: "When I donned the hot pants a couple of years ago I didn't expect that two years later it would still be getting such attention."
