Kylie Minogue growing old most glamorously

London, May 30 : Kylie Minogue, who turned 40 on May 28, is the celeb growing old most glamorously, according to a new poll.

Almost half of those polled rated the Aussie singer above fellow 40-year-old Australian, Elle Macpherson and queen of pop, Madonna, who turns 50 in August.

The survey of more than 36,000 music fans, conducted by new celebrity barometer xRankTM, also found that Kylie is the celebrity Britons would most like to see strutting her stuff aged into her 70s, reports the Daily Express.

The poll also revealed that it's not such a happy picture for some celebs, with almost a third (30 pc) wishing Amy Winehouse would hang up her coat and retire early before her image suffers any more blows, followed closely by Kerry Katona (23 pc).

When it comes to new idols who will most likely experience enduring fame and become the next living legend, Keira Knightly topped the polls as the people's favourite, taking more than a third of votes (38 pc), followed by Harry Potter star Emma Watson (20 pc).

Girls Aloud favourite Cheryl Cole suffered in the rankings, with 94 pc of the nation seeing her as a celeb who won't last in the public eye.

Paul Stoddart, Live Search UK senior product manager, said: "With so many celebrities reaching milestone birthdays this year, we wanted to get the public's opinion on who they think will still be on top of their game in years to come."
