When it comes to the dress sense of her daughter Lourdes, pop icon Madonna says she is no different from any other mum.

Despite being consistently named as one of fashion’s pioneers over the past quarter of a decade, the music legend claims that her daughter’s school wear remains understated and modest. She even admited that she has had to ask her daughter to remove three-inch and six-inch platforms and wear her skirt a little longer.

Madonna, 51, says she has had OMG moments where she won’t let little Lourdes out of the house in some outfits, but no worse than any other parent. The celebrity mother was speaking to reporters at the launch of a new line of fashion wear that she and Lourdes have collectively been the brains behind, which is set to hit shops in the US next month. The range has been christened Material Girl, after the classic 80s song which featured Madonna is mesh vests, torn tutu, multiple scarves and combat boots. It continues Madonna’s association with fashion creation, having helped H&M design a line of women’s wear in 2007.

Unsurprisingly, Lourdes has said she is obsessed with the 80s period – although arguing that short-shorts tended to make your bum look quite big. According to her online blog, she is also celebrating that her mother had finally allowed her to dye her hair

Pop’s leading lady said she has had a couple of moments where ‘Lola’ ‘has appeared before her in an outfit which Mads has deemed ‘inappropriate’. The proud mum claims she is usually stunned by her daughter’s taste in clothes, be it in a good or bad way.

Pop diva Kylie Minogue has admitted she suffers from frequent work related meltdowns, but boyfriend helps to calm her down.

Minogue, 42, has been with current man, Andres Velencoso, 32, for around a year-and-a-half having earlier gone through a series of disastrous relationships. During an interview with leading UK fashion magazine Grazia, Minogue spoke of how she had put her career ahead of all else, acknowledging her habit for perfectionism had left her open to stress.

Fortunately, the Spanish model Velencoso is very understanding and supportive, the former Neighbours star saying he was her oasis of calm, particularly at this time when the singer is working on promoting her brand new album Aphrodite. The stunning songstress said Velencoso had seen her in all moods, from chilled at home Minogue to full-on stress puppy that frequently freaks out and suffers meltdowns. His reaction has most often been a simple, gentle ‘hey, calm down’.

The latest stress-test for the couple was over media reports that Velencoso felt pressured into accompanying Minogue on her celebrity appearances – which the pop princess says is blatantly untrue, claiming that this was another media ploy to destabilise her relationships, presumably giving them something to write about. She said she was at a loss to comprehend why it was that people would want the happy couple separated, but added her work and love life were both wonderful.
