Laura Dahm might not exactly be Kylie Minogue's biggest fan right now. The pregnant wife of director Alexander Dahmin has been besieged by media, because
her husband is on vacation with Kylie in Chile. Dahmin, Minogue, and Dahm have denied that an affair is going on, and Minogue says she and the director are discussing a potential film project. Dahm
is quoted as saying, "It has been a week of hell. I am supposed to be enjoying the last few
weeks of my pregnancy, getting ready for our baby. Instead I am crying
and constantly on the phone to my husband, begging him to come home as
he is accused of sleeping with one of the world's biggest stars."
Let's hope that "begging" part was just a poor choice of words, because really that doesn't sound so nice for her. No matter what the details of the relationship, it would totally suck to have media hounding you about your husband's real or imagined affair in any trimester, let alone your last. If I recall my own hormonal state correctly, any quotes I gave to reporters would have had a very liberal sprinkling of f-bombs.
Some of the frenzy is fueled by Minogue's clean reputation. While those in the States might only have the vaguest memory of "Locomotion" (and "Spinning Around") she's a big star elsewhere, and her relatively recent battle with breast cancer brought on even more adoration. The British papers have been chastising her right and left over this one, to which I say, "Um, what about the dude with the pregnant wife at home?"
