Dannii Minogue spoke with Marie Claire magazine about the prospects she and boyfriend Kris Smith will tie the knot after the birth of their baby son Ethan in July. “After you have a baby you do talk about stuff like getting engaged or getting married, and it has definitely come up a few times,” Minogue said. “But we’re not ready to make a big announcement like Kate and William.”

Dannii Minogue tells The Guardian she’s a big fan of breastfeeding after giving birth to her first child Ethan. “I love it. I absolutely love it,” Dannii told Jess Cartner-Morley. “It’s the weirdest thing, because before I had the baby, when women talked about breastfeeding, I’d be a bit like, whatever, what’s the big deal? Do it or don’t, right? But then you have the baby and every cell in your body is crying out to feed this baby. It’s an incredible thing. I don’t want to stop. It’s a bit disruptive for everybody because you have to allow time to feed him in my schedule. And it means he has to be down at the television studio all day Saturday and all day Sunday, because that’s where I am.”

Dannii Minogue is opening with her new book ‘My Story’ about her time on ‘The X Factor’ which began with a verbal tirade from Sharon Osbourne minutes before her first live show on the ITV program. While Dannii was having her make-up finished, Sharon stormed in and read her the riot act over gossip from the British tabloids. “I tried reasoning with her. ‘Sharon, they are just stupid press stories about a non-existent feud. All I’ve ever done is tell people how much I admire you but they don’t want to print it,’” Dannii explained. “‘Oh, don’t play the innocent,’ Sharon spat. ‘Cos if you wanna play games, Missy, I’ll play… don’t you worry, I’ll play!’ I froze in my chair as furious Sharon came towards me. I turned to look at my friends Terry and Mark, whose mouths had fallen open in horror. Then I caught a glimpse of my make-up girl Karen, who was frozen, holding a mascara wand in mid-air.”
