Kylie Minogue: Read Kylie Minogue's daily rituals

November 23, 2004, 11:20:31

Kylie Minogue has confessed her life is ruled by superstition.
The pop babe, who is dating French heartthrob actor Olivier Martinez, has confessed she carries out a string of daily rituals in order to guarantee her good luck.

She said: 'I should be in the film 'Bewiched' instead of Nicole Kidman because that's what my life is like.

'I start each day by turning the teapot three times clockwise and once anticlockwise. It brings me luck and I've had plenty of that over the years.

'I know it's all a bit spooky. I do other things too - I don't walk under ladders and I throw salt over my shoulder.'

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old star has revealed that she signed-on for benefits after leaving school.

Kylie, who has had six number one singles in her 16-year pop career, admitted she registered for unemployment allowance as a teenager ecause she feared she wouldn't make it as an actress - but believes that her superstitions helped cement her success.

She is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper [there's an impeccible source for you!] as saying: 'I was intending to become an actress so it was standard practice to sign on for it.

'As it happens, maybe due to the teapot thing I made an OK living out of show-business.'"
