Kylie Minogue's gold hot pants, which helped launch her career in 2000, are unraveling as they make their way across Australia in a traveling exhibit. The Australian singer bought the vintage shorts in a London charity shop and she wore them as she danced on a bar in her "Spinning Around" video. The shorts are being transported in a climate-controlled glass case but they are so delicate now, handlers must move them wearing white gloves, the Sunday Mirror reported. "The pants just can't take any unnecessary strain," said a spokeswoman at Powerhouse museum in Sydney. "The gold coating lifts off every time they are touched." More than 400,000 people have seen "Kylie: An Exhibition" so far. The pop star was scheduled to undergo her final treatment in Paris Sunday for breast cancer, the newspaper said. © Copyright 2005 by United Press International
