Why life with ‘clown’ Kylie is a rollercoaster

PERKY Australian pop star Kylie Minogue (left) couldn’t have been chirpier when she visited the Apple Music store in California yesterday.

However, she is the first to admit that her chipper exterior conceals a more troubled soul.

‘I don’t know where the clown side of me came from,’ she says.

‘A friend calls me an amusement park. He’s like, “Uh-oh, it’s open, every ride’s open, here we go, she’s off.” But when the park is closed, there’s nothing.’

Let’s hope she is not having an existential crisis ahead of her 50th birthday later this month.
