KYLIE'S PANTS IN PIECES

Perhaps the most important cultural artefact this side of the shroud of Turin, Kylie's gold hotpants are falling to shreds. Apparently, they're part of an exhibition of Kylie's clothes in Australia, but now have to be handled very carefully, and are kept in a climate-controlled room. The last rockstar whose shorts got such delicate handling was, of course, Zodiac Mindwarp, although there were totally different reasons why nobody would touch his boxers with first putting on protective clothing.
