Australian singer Dannii Minogue worries her son Ethan, who is now three-months old, will be embarrassed of her fame and avoid being with her in public when he reaches his teens.
“I think that kids think anything their parents do is embarrassing, right? He’ll probably hate everything I do. I imagine I’ll be collecting him from school and he’ll be like, ‘Can you wait a few streets away around the corner because I don’t want my friends seeing you there collecting me’,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Minogue as saying.
Ethan is the X Factor judge’s first child with her boyfriend, British rugby player Kris Smith.

Akon banned in Australia
R&B star Akon has been banned from performing at a gig in Melbourne after his 2009 concert in the city was marred by violence.
The singer was due to play at the Summerbeatz festival in the Rod Laver Arena Nov 25, but bosses at the venue have forbidden the star from going ahead with the show following last year’s gig brawl, reports contactmusic.com.
At least 18 people, including two security guards, received medical treatment while nine were taken to the hospital following the riots.
The star’s music promoter Dwayne Cross says in a statement, “We have toured Akon in Australia many times before and we are extremely disappointed that Melbourne misses out on seeing such an amazing and popular performer, however, this situation is completely out of our hands.” —ians
