Kylie MinogueWe've always known Kylie Minogue is a top-class gal.

Now some peeps across the pond have given her a medal to prove it.

France has awarded Kylie it's highest cultural honour - an Order Of Arts And Letters for her fight against breast cancer.

At a ceremony in Paris the French minister of culture, Christine Albanel, described Kylie as a "Midas of the international music scene who turns everything she touches into gold".

She went on to say: "I want to publicly salute the courage you showed by revealing publicly that you had breast cancer.

"Doctors now even go as far as saying there is a 'Kylie effect' that encourages young women to have regular checks."

Kylie attended the ceremony with her parents.

Other celebs to receive the medal in the past include Bob Dylan, David Bowie, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford.

At the end of last year Kylie made it on to GB's very own New Year Honours List, where she was made an OBE.
