Oldies but goodies

Half of the sexiest female celebrities are aged over 30, according to a new survey today.

Pop princess Kylie Minogue - now aged 34 - was voted the sexiest body in showbiz.

The Can't Get You Out Of My Head singer pipped Jennifer Lopez to the title, voted for by readers of celebrity magazine Heat.

Minogue is commonly regarded as reviving her career with her body. The singer returned to the charts on the back of the Spinning Around video in which she wore a tiny pair of hot pants.

Her body-baring outfits have helped to keep her in the spotlight as much as her music. "My bum's in fairly good shape but I don't know what the fuss is all about," she has said.

The oldest star on the list is Liz Hurley, 37, at No 8. Other thirtysomethings in the top 10 are J Lo, 32, at two, Jennifer Aniston, 34, at seven and Catherine Zeta Jones, 33, at 10.

Top male body was Justin Timberlake with Will Young at two, David Beckham in third and Brad Pitt and Robbie Williams making up the top five.
