Madonna and Kylie Minogue join forces for huge new single as pop royalty unite in dream collaboration

THEY have a total of 100 Top Ten hits between them – now Madonna and Kylie Minogue are teaming up in the hope of making it 101. In one of the most demanded and hoped for collaborations, the pop powerhouses have recorded a remix of Madonna’s song Love Sensation, which was on her Confessions II album that dropped last month.

And on Saturday, Kylie made a surprise appearance during Madonna’s Club Confessions concert at WorldPride in Amsterdam. Sign up for the Showbiz newsletter Thank you! They performed together in purple outfits alongside DJ and producer Stuart Price, who has overseen the collaboration and Madonna’s whole album. I’m told both the song and Kylie’s cameo at WorldPride were treated with a level of security that even MI5 would be impressed by. Many in Madonna and Kylie’s teams were kept in the dark about the song, to stop leaks and avoid ruining the surprise. The superstars somehow pulled off getting in and out of the same hotel in Amsterdam without getting noticed. A source said: “Kylie and Madonna have known each other for two decades, but over the past few years they have got closer. “There is a lot of mutual admiration for both being strong women in the industry who have stood the test of time. They have always toyed with the idea of working together.

She popped up in a cameo skit as a barmaid, refusing to comment when Graham outright asked them about rumours of a collaboration. Kylie also made a surprise appearance at Madonna’s The Celebration Tour in LA in 2024. Now they’ve finally done this, the world is their oyster. CALLUM COOLS HIS STEAMY SCENES Callum Turner persuaded film directors to tone down sexy scenes following his marriage to Dua Lipa Credit: Getty NEWLYWED CALLUM TURNER persuaded film directors to tone down sexy scenes following his marriage to Dua Lipa. He is appearing in new romcom One Night Only, with Monica Barbaro. At a Q&A in New York on Sunday, Callum, above, said: “There were really raunchy elements to a scene that did not fit the film. “I thought we should home in on what is going to be in the film. There were really raunchy sex scenes.” Despite having them edited out, Callum was still left red-faced during filming. He added: “We were filming while Halloween happened in New York. We were in Brooklyn Bridge Park, where I am tied up to a tree. “I was freezing, with no clothes on, and my two friends live around the corner. “I was like, ‘Yeah, come to the set’. And they came straight on set and I was tied up and they looked at me and they were like, ‘OK?’. I forgot I was going to be naked.” Jade Thirlwall was performing at Lollapalooza Festival in Grant Park, Chicago Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Jordan Stephens played Y Not Festival at Pikehall in Matlock, Derbyshire. Credit: Getty THE best thing to do after a break-up is throw yourself into work – and it’s exactly what Jade Thirlwall and Jordan Stephens have done. They both hit the stage around the same time on Sunday, albeit 4,000 miles apart. Former Little Mix singer Jade, who braved an Eighties shellsuit look, was performing at Lollapalooza Festival in Grant Park, Chicago. Jordan played Y Not Festival at Pikehall in Matlock, Derbyshire. Our Howell revealed Jade and Jordan had ended their romance after six years last month, with Rizzle Kicks’ Jordan confirming the news just before the weekend. On the Miss Me? Podcast, Jordan said: “I’m going to talk and write, I think, once things have settled a bit.” We’re told there is no bad blood, so I’m sure Jade’s got nothing to worry about. JESY DIGS GARDENER ON DATE Jesy Nelson was spotted out in London over the weekend enjoying a drink with Essex landscape gardener Ben Davies Credit: Getty SHE’S had a rough time of it recently, so I’m pleased to see Jesy Nelson may have found someone to put a smile back on her face. One of our readers spotted the former LITTLE MIX singer out in London over the weekend enjoying a drink with Essex landscape gardener Ben Davies. He previously dated Towie’s Lydia Bright and, according to people who know him, is a “decent bloke” who would treat Jesy like a queen. Jesy shared a snap of her rooftop night out at Jin Bo Law in Aldgate, with Ben’s tattooed arm visible in the picture. Our reader said: “It was definitely Jesy with Ben, I recognised him straight away from his tattoos. “Jesy looked like she was having a great time, which is massively deserved after everything she has gone through.” Jesy split from her boyfriend, musician Zion Foster, after the birth of their twin girls, who were born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1. Jesy’s campaigning helped pass a milestone health policy last month, with the Government now set to test babies born in England for SMA from October. She deserves all the plaudits coming her way. TATE: TAY SMELLS SO GOOD TATE McRAE is one of the lucky few to have been given a taste of Taylor Swift’s sourdough. Tay loves to bake and this year has been whipping up batches of bread for all her nearest and dearest. But when asked about getting one of Taylor’s signature loaves, it seems the bread wasn’t what impressed Tate the most. In a new interview with Variety last night, the Revolving Door singer said: “The basket smelled amazing. “I don’t know what perfume she wears, but I was like, ‘She must smell incredible’.” SHANE’S DRIVE JIBE AT DAD Shane Richie’s son Shane Nolan didn’t waste much time in taking the mick out of his dad after he was charged with drink-driving Credit: Shutterstock SHANE RICHIE’s son Shane Nolan didn’t waste much time in taking the mick out of his dad after he was charged with drink-driving. The EastEnders actor was nicked at a Tesco petrol station and will appear in court on September 9. Mocking his old man as he warmed up the audience at his mum Coleen’s This Is Me show at Bush Hall in London on Sunday night, Shane said: “The more you drink, the funnier I get. But remember, don’t drink and drive.” My mate who was in the crowd said the joke failed to get a laugh but Shane Jr pressed on: “I am driving home. I won’t be driving. I am drinking tonight.” When it still failed to land, he added: “Let’s get this out of the way. My dad is Shane Richie and my mum is Coleen Nolan. I’ve got my dad’s personality and my mum’s t**s.” Neither will want to take credit for his sense of humour. IT’S TRAIN STOPPING Trainspotting: The Musical is facing a huge comedown after being cancelled due to poor ticket sales Credit: Matt Crockett TRAINSPOTTING: The Musical is facing a huge comedown after being cancelled due to poor ticket sales. While many fans of the film, like me, loved the stage adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s 1993 novel, it failed to hit the spot. I’ve been told the cast, who were playing characters including drug addicts Mark “Rent Boy” Renton, Spud, Franco, Tommy and Sick Boy, will be laid off after the show finishes its fun at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London on September 5. A source said: “It’s a massive shame, but after Trainspotting: The Musical finishes in London, the nationwide tour isn’t going ahead. “Anyone who has booked tickets will be able to get a refund. “It’s just not picking up the pace as much as they had hoped and sales aren’t where they need to be to make the production viable.” I checked last night on various dates outside London, including Birmingham, Edinburgh and Leeds. When I tried to buy tickets, an automated message popped up on screen that read: “This performance is no longer available.” It’s such a shame. If you are a fan of the book and film, it’s worth getting down to a London show before the run ends. Annie Lennox was joined by Jessie Ware for a rousing performance at Wilderness Festival Credit: Getty SISTERS were doin’ it for themselves as Annie Lennox was joined by Jessie Ware for a rousing performance at Wilderness Festival. They sang a duet of 1985 Eurythmics song There Must Be an Angel, which was the highlight of the hit event in Oxfordshire. It was a rare appearance by Annie, who got emotional and dabbed her eyes while singing Here Comes The Rain. Meanwhile, Jessie had some important family news from the festival and told the crowd: “I’ve been camping since Friday and all my South London crew are right here. “My son lost his baby teeth yesterday at Soulwax. It’s been really touch and go, but we’ve had the best festival.” AFTER conquering Africa’s highest mountain, my favourite rapper AITCH is now climbing Netflix’s charts. The Manchester star’s documentary Don’t Be Afraid is sitting in the top three most-watched shows. It’s an impressive feat given the tough competition. Aitch last year tackled Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise money for the Downs Syndrome Association in honour of his little sister Gracie, and collected more than £160,000. Comment now
