X (2007)On September 21, 2007 Minogues's official website announced: The wait is finally over! On November 26 Minogue releases X, her first studio album in four years. The album, her tenth, features thirteen new tracks and was recorded in London, Stockholm and Ibiza. Producers include previous collaborators such as Bloodshy & Avant, Guy Chambers, Cathy Dennis, and Richard Stannard, as well as newcomers like Calvin Harris. X will be preceded by the new single 2 Hearts on November 12 (available digitally November 5). The Sun has already branded the single a surefire No.1. The promotion for the single started on October 10 with simultaneous play of the video on GMTV as well as the track being played on radio.

The press release also stated: Along with the new album X, Minogue is starring in a brand new film documentary, White Diamond, which she made with friend and stylist, William Baker during August 2006 and March 2007. White Diamond provides the unique chance to see her return to the world stage with her 2006 Showgirl Homecoming Tour. The film shows Minogue as never before with intimate close up back stage footage and interviews including Minogue talking about her feelings, worries and aspirations on how she and her team take Showgirl Homecoming from rehearsals to the road first in Australia and then to the UK. The film premiered at Vue cinemas across the UK on October 16, with a DVD release planned for December. The DVD will feature two discs, with Showgirl Homecoming Live (recorded in Melbourne, Australia December 2006) as the second disc.

On November 10, 2007 The Kylie Show was broadcast on the UK channel ITV1. The programme featured highly stylised set-piece song performances from Minogue as well as sketches showing her backstage, most notably ones featuring Jason Donovan failing to recognise Minogue, and a catfight sequence with her sister, Dannii Minogue. The show secured strong viewing figures of 4.8 million.

Minogue (jointly with C?line Dion) will be coaching on the French reality TV show, Star Academy, next November. She has also agreed to perform in the 2008 BRIT Awards with Robbie Williams.
