Kylie in Copacabana chaos

KYLIE Minogue is set to release a cover of the Barry Manilow hit Copacabana, but is reported to have upset the song's lyricist by including her own name in it.


The Australian singer, who has been performing the upbeat track during her KylieX2008 tour, is planning to record the track for release, but is said to have angered the lyricist Bruce Sussman by asking for the woman's name in the song to be changed from Lola to Kylie.

Minogue reportedly wanted the lyric, "Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl" to be changed, but Sussman refused.

"Bruce was furious. He told Kylie, 'No way. Her name's Lola. Not Lola Minogue, not Kylie,'" a source told gossip website MSNBC.

Minogue's sister Dannii recently revealed she wants to do a duet with her older sibling.

"I definitely want to do a duet, it's just about finding the right thing and the right time," she said.

"I miss singing so I am planning to do some more next year. I did a duet with Kylie on her tour last year - we sang Kids which was amazing.

"Every time we watch it back, we fall about laughing, especially when we are swinging each other around because we used to do that on roller skates when we were young."
