But Shears’ disguise didn’t fool Minogue - she giggled and said, "I kno w those eyes", before he ripped off his mask to reveal his true identity.
Minogue ran over to her pal and gave him a hug, saying, "I was like ‘I know those eyes’. This is my dear, dear friend Jake from the Scissor Sist ers. I have to commend you that was such a good surprise." Shears then told her, "I’ve been here hours having this done." (KD/WNV/

She tells Britain’s Daily Mirror, "My middle finger is very crooked so I’m worried they’ll need to do surgery and I’ll be in a sling for weeks. I’m right-handed so I’m struggling to do anything. And the pain is still terrible. I’m eating painkillers…
"He was clearly distressed so I tried to lift the collar free. But he r eared up with all his strength, crushing my hand. I could hear the bones in my hand crack. I thought he was going to pull my fingers off or yank m y arm out of its socket.
"I think he would have done too, except the door smashed open, freeing my hand. I knew instantly my fingers were broken. The middle one was hang ing half an inch lower than the others. The doctor said I was lucky not t o have lost my fingers."

Rocker VINCE NEIL has further fuelled his war of words with SHARON OSBOUR NE after attempting to explain his attack on her in his new autobiography ..
The Motley Crue frontman referred to the rock matriarch as "the most ev il, sh**tiest woman I’ve ever met in my life" in his new book Tattoos & T equila: To Hell and Back with One of Rock’s Most Notorious Frontmen.
And, on Thursday (23Sep10), he appeared on Osbourne’s new talk show riv al Joy Behar’s news programme in America in an effort to set the record s traight.
He told Behar, "You’ve gotta remember, my first time dealing with her w as in 1984 when Motley Crue toured the U.S. as the support act for Ozzy ( Osbourne - Sharon’s husband)… I was, I think, 22 years old, and she was not nice to Motley Crue. We ended up calling it the No Fun Tour.
"She wouldn’t let us have any fun - no girls, no booze, no nothing. So then, what’s the point…? Then she went on to blame it on an accident th at I had in ‘84, but she forgot to figure out that that accident was six months after the tour, so the incident that she was blaming it on… hadn ‘t even happened yet.
"The thing with Ozzy, there are multiple stories about us and Ozzy and the antics we had. Obviously, those things happened on the days when she was not there. She’s mad, but she really has no reason to be mad, because this was my point of view 26 years ago." Sharon Osbourne has already hit back at Neil’s book comments, insisting she was protecting her husband from the wild rocker, explaining she "did n’t want Ozzy to end up like Razzle from Hanoi Rocks, who died in a car a ccident because Vince was driving drunk." In a statement aimed at Neil, she wrote, "I see Vince as a pathetic 50- year-old party boy who continues to put innocent people’s lives at risk b y getting behind the wheel of his car and driving drunk and being arreste d for assaulting women." Osbourne admits she’s "very, very saddened" by Neil’s comments and reve als her husband has challenged the rocker over his remarks.
Meanwhile, Neil will be arraigned on drink driving charges in Las Vegas on Monday (27Sep10). He’s also under investigation regarding two separat e alleged assaults on women in Sin City.
