Australian pop star Kylie Minogue plans to become gay like the late screen legend Tallulah Bankhead saying she is unable to find the right kind of guy for herself.

Magazines Minogue, 40, revealed she had a crush on the late Bankhead, who was bisexual.

She said: “I’d go gay for her. She was a fascinating and exotic woman. There was so much to admire about her. She lived life to the full, maybe a little too fully. I want to release the inner Tallulah in me. God knows I can’t get a man - so maybe I should cross over.”

Bankhead was a controversial figure, who was embroiled in drugs and sex and died in 1968 at the age of 66.
