Minogue takes music break for Oscar dream

Pop superstar Kylie Minogue is taking a break from her flourishing music career to return to her acting roots - because she's desperate to win an Oscar award.

The Australian beauty shot to fame in 1986, playing Jason Donovan's partner in TV soap Neighbours, and made a series of critically-mauled films including her 1994 debut in Street Fighter and her starring role in The Delinquents.
