Dannii offers sisterly support

Dannii Minogue

Dannii Minogue will tour Australia later this year so she can be home when big sister Kylie re-launches her postponed Showgirl tour.

Dannii will take her Hits and Beyond tour to Australia, release a cover of Olivia Newton-John's song Xanadu and make a movie.

"It'll be a nice change of pace," Dannii said. "I'll be home shooting the film in December and January, so I'll be around for Kylie and I get to babysit my brother Brendan's baby, who I haven't met yet."
