 About "what Kylie is all about": Well, I had expected her to have evolved into an independent, strong-minded person with a clear sense of direction. However, after reading those interviews, I get the impression that she's not quite there yet. Reading between the lines, I see someone who's more comfortable being a member of the team, sometimes following directions by others, rather than always being on top of things and fully in control of her own direction. Gawd, I sound like the Sunday newspaper's horoscope! Anyhow, I think all this means that we're on the right track with the article by clearly identifying the various people with whom she's associated. I think they are equally important in shaping the "Minogue franchise" as she is herself. I also find it remarkable that they're all men, although I have no idea whether that signifies anything. 

 About the BB quote: yes, I've transcribed the interview verbatim. Turns out she repeats the line in the VH1 interview. Guess that makes it true... 

 Gay icon text: I've moved the gay icon paragraph almost to the top of the "Image" section, where I think it belongs in terms of importance. It needs some copyedit and could be expanded a bit. I like the interview in which she says that she hasn't really tried to become part of the gay community, but was kind of "adopted" by them. Cute. 

 The conclusion: Finally, I think the VH1 interview bit, where she acknowledges being part of a manufactured image, could be useful to incorporate. Many people will have that very idea when reading the article. Confirming that thought by having her agreeing with them could be a fitting conclusion to the article, maybe (let's say, the next-to-last paragraph, with some blurb about her future prospects and direction to close it all off). Something like that?  21:50
