Oh dear!
Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue has been honoured by Britain for her services to the music industry with an OBE. Fellow Australian entertainer Rolf Harris also received a gong.
The Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne will be a twilight race for the next seven years, the Victorian Government has announced. Premier John Brumby said the Government had agreed to push back the start time of the race to 5pm in order to secure the event until 2015.
Mr Brumby refused to say how much public money was being used to pay the licence fee to hold the race, but insisted the event was good value.
Last year the race suffered a loss of almost $35 million and losses were expected to top $40 million this year, amid rising costs and poor ticket sales.
I am so at sixes sevens working out which of these two news items is going to have me over the moon.
Separated at birth? Kylie and Ivana.
