Kylie Minogue has become an auntie for the first time

Charles Shand Minogue made his entrance on Friday (21.04.06) weighing a
healthy 8lb 2oz.

The petite singer, who may not be able to have children following her
treatment for breast cancer, is currently in New York for business meetings,
but an insider revealed she was the first person to telephone her sibling
and congratulate him.

The source said: "She was as pleased as punch and told them how sorry she
was not to be there."

The new addition to the Minogue family comes as welcome news after the
difficult 11 months the star has endured since being diagnosed with cancer
in May last year.

Kylie is currently recovering from an intensive programme of chemotherapy
and two weeks ago she posted new pictures of herself on her official
website - with hair.

The shots entitled 'New Beginnings' - taken by her French actor boyfriend
Olivier Martinez during a weekend break in Italy - showed her looking happy
and healthy and revealed her new-cropped hairdo.
