Kylie sneaks in

Published:  28 August, 2008

Celebs have been hitting UK shopping malls, but in two very different styles.

Pneumatic model Katie Price -aka Jordan - was at Grand Arcade in Wigan for a signing of her latest book 'Angel Uncovered'. Some customers actually got to Grand Arcade at 6.30am to see Katie and get their copy of 'Angel Uncovered' signed, even though she wasn't due until 5pm.

Over 400 fans (more than there were at her London signing) were queuing when she arrived.

But Kylie Minogue had a much lower profile when she visited The Gate in Newcastle. Kylie was in Newcastle to perform at the local Metro Radio Arena as part of her current UK tour and contacted The Gate to request the use of a cinema for her and her entourage to watch Mama Mia!

Staff at The Gate were sworn to secrecy as they arranged a special showing at the Empire Cinema. And as a special thank you Kylie gave some of the cinema's staff tickets to one of her concerts.
