Australian gay icon and dance/pop diva Kylie Minogue may never be Madonna for American gays (outside of Texas), but she's giving Madge a run for her money in Europe these days. Last week she kicked off her X 2008 Tour in Paris and Antwerp. Falcon star and Londoner Dean Monroe couldn't wait for her to hit England in July (when she'll be doing, um, 6 shows in Manchester, 5 shows in Newcastle, and 7 shows in London) so he popped over for the kickoff in Paris and took a few pictures, a couple of which are after the jump-along with some decent quality bootleg footage c/o YouTubers in Antwerp and Paris.
She hits Prague tonight, goes everywhere in Germany and even hits Latvia before doing her 20 fucking shows in England, so we guess this means she won't be spinning through the states until Fall or Winter. You will have to sate your big gay selves with this sneak peak, and Kylie's video blogs on Kylie.com.
Someone in Paris stole this footage of the opening number, "Speakerphone" (warning, intro is long, quality is so-so.)
And apparently that shot Dean took of the big crystal skull thing is the set from the "Like a Drug" number, which you can watch below, from the Antwerp show.
