Kylie to become a Vegas Showgirl reveals sister Dannii
It took her 20 odd years to crack America.
But now the yanks can’t get enough of Kylie Minogue.
The Aussie star wowed the audience so much that sister Dannii tells us they want to keep her over there.
Instead of coming home to Blighty, she is getting ready to follow in the footsteps of the greats like Elton John, Shirley Bassey and Celine Dion to become a Vegas Showgirl.
Dannii told us: “The response from her shows in America have been phenomenal.
“They love her out there. She was nervous about going over for the first time, but it has gone better than she expected.
“She has now been asked to take the show back to Vegas and extend it as a residency over there. I’m so proud of her.”
Vegas promoters were stunned by the glitz and glamour of Kylie’s tour and the power it had to pull in celebs when she performed at the Palms.
So they moved quickly to offer her a Vegas residency as soon as she has finished her first US tour at the end of the month.
Paris Hilton demanded the best seats in the house to bring boyfriend Doug Reinhardt and friends to see the singer at her show in the Nevada casino city on Saturday.

Brits Fearne Cotton and Sam Sparro were also there singing along to all of her hits.
Delighted Dannii has pledged to take a break from X Factor to be in the front row of her residency to cheer on her sister.
She added: “She called to tell me how well everything has been going and about the Vegas offer. I was joking with her that The Showgirl is finally where she belongs.
“Kylie’s show is perfect for Vegas, it’s so theatrical. She has loved performing out there.” Just promise you won’t stay away too long, Kylie ...

Kylie Minogue struts. Sings, too.
For more than two decades, Kylie Minogue has declined to commit to America while frolicking in stadiums around the rest of the world. But kicking off her first-ever U.S. tour at Oakland's Fox Theatre on Wednesday, the miniature Australian pop star did her best to make up for the years of neglect. "Fasten your seat belts," she said, descending from the heavens on top of a metallic skull that came into view through a cloud of smoke and lasers. "I'm Kylie."
For the next two hours, the 41-year-old singer lavished her fans - most of them screaming, glitter-splattered men - with a career-spanning set that covered everything from her thumping early 1990s club anthems to her more recent string of sleek electro-pop hits such as "Can't Get You Out of My Head," "Love at First Sight" and "2 Hearts."
To make sure there were no hard feelings, Minogue offered up a brand-new song called "Better Than Today," a Scissor Sisters-inspired glam stomp that has no doubt already racked up millions of views on YouTube, plus a bawdy cabaret makeover of "The Loco-Motion," the throwaway single that launched the former soap opera star's music career.
It's impossible to describe the full spectacle of the Kylie experience - part Vegas extravaganza, part sci-fi adventure, all flesh. There were golden tigers, confetti showers, diamante-studded football players, digital explosions and Trojan warriors with elaborate plumes on their heads. Well, why not?
The fact that she fit it all into a relatively intimate venue was a marvel unto itself. The show seemed to have been designed to be visible from the moon, with large-scale video projections broadcasting studio montages of celluloid Kylie mouthing the words to the songs the real-life version was singing below. The stage swarmed with musicians, dancers and the occasional army of robots. Meanwhile, her wardrobe department seemed intent on making Lady Gaga wave a white flag.
Apart from a pair of middling ballads that served as a reminder that her relatively thin voice works best served with a generous heaping of bass, there were no major opening-night missteps. Rather, it was one thrill after another, especially for the fans who had waited so long for this moment.
Even Minogue, whose initial plan to conquer the West was derailed by a diagnosis of breast cancer three years ago, couldn't help but find authentic emotion among all the artifice. She held her hands over her chest as thousands of voices chanted her name. "You're fantastic - you're everything I've dreamt of for 20 years," she swooned.
Maybe it's not too late to make this relationship work.
