kylie minogueKylie Minogue is reportedly planning something a little different for her 40th birthday on Wednesay - she’ll be the one giving rather than receiving presents.

The singer started her birthday celebrations in Greece last week but will spend the special day itself in Paris, during a break in her European tour and is flying in family and friends - including her sister Dannii and their parents - to enjoy the day with her.

A source told the Sun: “Kylie has been spending some of her rare rest time on the European tour looking through boutiques and antique stores for gifts to give to her guests. She’s been shopping in Paris, Belgium, Prague and Athens. She loves giving gifts and she loves shopping, and money is no obstacle.

“She has also asked guests not to bring gifts for her as she knows she is near-impossible to buy for.

“It will be a grand party but she doesn’t want a major all-night bash. She’s in the middle of touring and can’t afford to get too tired after her recent health problems.”
