A QUICK LOOK AT THIS MORNING'S FRONT PAGES

Truly, she is the people's pop princess. The death of Kylie Minogue has united the British papers in grief:





- although neither the Independent nor the Morning Star care enough, it seems. Oh, hang on, she's not actually dead, is she?



We were surprised that the Telegraph decided not to run with a picture of Kylie in showgirl gear - it says something about the gravity of the situation they elected to go with a Jackie O modern suffering pic instead. Albeit balanced with Nigella Lawson in a low-cut frock.

The tabs, on the whole, are pretty upbeat. The Mirror has Kylie pledging that "I'll beat it just like my dad":

It'd be really brilliant for Kylie to see such a range of positive, upbeat coverage.

Unfortunately, she's in Australia, Which isn't being quite so positive:
