Kylie Minogue's boyfriend thinks she is a "ten".

Andres Velencoso - who has been dating the 'All the Lovers' singer since they met at a party hosted by Dita Von Teese in 2008 - thinks his girlfriend is perfect and admits he is in the relationship for "the long haul", but confesses marriage is not yet on the cards.

He said: "She's a ten, a great person. But it's not just me that says that - if you ask around, everyone will tell you the same. We're in it for the long haul. We're doing really well."

Discussing marriage plans, Andres added: "Who knows... but why not?"

The 32-year-old model also revealed he would like to raise the couple's potential children in his native Spain.

Dita Von Teese once spent $70,000 on a dress.

The burlesque dancer admits she gets carried away when it comes to buying clothes for her shows but says they are worth it as they look so stunning.

She said: "I know how to spend extravagantly - I think nothing of spending $8,000 on a corset for my show. My accountant once said he couldn't understand how I spent $70,000 on a single dress, but then he came to my show and saw how lavish it was and told me afterwards that now he understood."

Although she can be reckless with her cash when it comes to stage outfits, Dita, 37, is a lot more savvy with her credit cards as she has experienced debt before and always ensures she stays in control of her spending.

She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I learned when I was 18 about not ruining your credit rating spending on cards. When I first had credit cards I let a large balance accrue. It took me a long time to shake off the debt and for a while I had a very low credit score and couldn't get a car loan.

Dita Von Teese is learning French.

The burlesque dancer is taking lessons in the language so she can converse with her boyfriend, French aristocrat Count Louis-Marie de Castelbajac, in his native tongue.

She wrote on her Twitter page: "Why oh why didn't I pay more attention in high school French?? Yes, now it really DOES seem like 20 years ago."

Dita's love of all things from France has extended to the decor in her house.

The 37-year-old beauty has bought a set of 18th century French sconces - a type of wall mounted light fixture which directs light upwards and are often used for torch lighting - for her home.

She revealed: "Bought a pair of Napoleonic era sconces, reminds me of Jean Cocteau's 'Beauty and the Beast'... beautiful arms holding ornate candelabras."

Dita - who was previously wed to goth rocker Marilyn Manson - recently revealed she wants to be an "old-fashioned" mother and will only start a family when she marries again.

She said: "I'd like to think that if I did have children I'd do it the old-fashioned way and fall in love and get married and then have children.

Burlesque sensation Dita Von Teese is going highbrow as her next show is to be scripted by best-selling author Paulo Coelho. The voluptuous dancer, who is known for her carefully choreographed sexy routines, is friends with the celebrity-favorite writer.

Coelho, known for mystical novels such as The Alchemist, teased his Twitter followers with a picture of the two holding hands backstage at one of her shows – but insisted they are “just good friends”.

He sent out the picture after being asked why they followed each other on the network. The married Brazilian author wrote under the photo: “Why do we follow each other? a) intelligence b)I am going to write her next show c) we are just good friends (I don’t expect you to believe, of course, because you see her eyes, but it is true).”
He later tweeted that all of the options “are correct”, but he has not revealed any details on the show.

Holly Madison, star of Girls Next Door and former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, is loving Las Vegas after the success of her new topless revue Peep Show.  She also recently confessed that she has used Dita Von Teese as an inspiration for a topless show that is not 'sloppy.'

However, Holly has revealed she doesn't tune into the hit E! Entertainment show, which made her a household name alongside Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, since her move to Sin City.
She said: "I had a great time with Hef and the girls when they came to see ‘Peep Show’ and hang out in Vegas. "I don't watch the other episodes though because it kind of makes me mad. The girls need to focus on what makes them unique and not doing the same things Bridget, Kendra and I have already done on the show."

The former Playmate added, "Even camping in the backyard was an idea I had for an episode that we never got around to shooting. And guess what they just showed? The girls camping in the backyard. I don't want to look behind, I want to look forward."
The new season of the Girls on E! features Hugh Hefner's new girlfriend Crystal Harris and the Shannon twins. Madison is filming her own reality show as a Vegas showgirl and added: "The 'toplessness' is worked into the show very tastefully and I was very controlling about when and how long I would be topless.
"Not because I am shy about nudity at all but because I feel there is an effective way to do a burlesque show and then there is a sloppy way. "I'm very inspired by Dita Von Teese and people who do it really well. Hef really liked the show, but I knew he would. He loves burlesque and the girls in the show are really beautiful."

Dita Von Teese wants to be an "old-fashioned" mother.

The burlesque dancer - who is dating Count Louis-Marie de Castelbajac and was previously married to goth rocker Marilyn Manson - is not sure what the future holds for her but is refusing to consider having children until she ties the knot again.

She said: "I'd like to think that if I did have children I'd do it the old-fashioned way and fall in love and get married and then have children.

"But I don't know what the future holds. Maybe it's on the cards for me or maybe it isn't. But it doesn't diminish me as a human being if it's not."

However, the 37-year-old beauty is in no rush to remarry.

She explained: "At this point I'm really happy to have a boyfriend. I feel like I'm not really thinking about it in terms of that. I'm just excited by the newness of the relationship and I'm not thinking about that kind of thing yet.

Dita Von Teese will never be a pop star because she can't sing and dance at the same time.

The burlesque dancer - who was previously married to goth rocker Marilyn Manson - has refused offers to launch a music career because she can't multi task on stage.

She said: "I'm not a good singer. I have recorded some songs in that Marilyn Monroe style but I lip synched them when I performed them at The Crazy Horse Paris. It would be much too difficult to sing and dance burlesque at the same time!

"I know myself and what makes me different. No one could sell me an idea of a formula for success for a pop star. No one could talk me into that."

Dita has also slammed the new crop of rival burlesque performers, claiming she is more committed to the profession because she was in the industry before it became popular.

Getting in the last few moments of Paris Fashion Week goodness, Katy Perry and Russell Brand were spotted at the John Galliano Pret a Porter Spring/Summer 2010 fashion show last night (October 7).

The “I Kissed a Girl” songstress and her “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” boyfriend looked so happy together as they held hands throughout the evening.

And it sounds like both Russell and Katy were thoroughly impressed with the shindig, which is always a favorite of Fashion Week enthusiasts.

Miss Perry tweeted, “Oh my, Galliano was by far the best show. It was a dark sexy dream of beautiful mental sparkling women, I can relate to that, the mental part!”

Other stars in attendance for the night's festivities included rock legend Prince and burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese.

Dita von Teese thinks the key to seducing men is to "know your victim".

The 37-year-old burlesque star is never "aggressive" when it comes to pursuing men, because it's easier to sit back and let them come to her.

The brunette beauty explained: "I don't have a technique for seducing men because they're all so different. You have to know your victim. It has always worked for me to let them come to me.

"I'm not very aggressive. I don't seduce and destroy. I like to be chased, but I'm not into playing hard to get."

Dita - who was married to goth rocker Marilyn Manson - also revealed she started dressing like a 1940s pin-up because she didn't feel attractive enough in jeans and a T-shirt.

She’s been working overtime at getting the word out about her lingerie line, and earlier today (October 5) Dita Von Teese was in Madrid, Spain for a promotional appearance.

The burlesque babe looked excited as she hammed it up for the press at the Hotel Palace as part of her worldwide Wonderbra launch.

And Miss Von Teese was definitely dressed to impress, sporting a black-with-white-microdots jacket and skirt teamed with a pair of ruby red heels.

According to Dita’s Twitter page, she’s in the market for a good manicure. She tweeted, “Week 8 of press tour. Don't need a makeup artist, hairstylist,clothing stylist. But so over doing my own nails. Need good Paris manicurist!”
