According to the Daily Mail, Minogue and Velencoso spent the evening together at burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese's 36th birthday party in Paris.
A guest is quoted as saying: "It was Dita's party but Kylie was definitely the star of the show. She was turning heads and people were asking about the guy she was sitting with. They certainly made a stunning-looking pair."
Minogue recently suggested that she was thinking about becoming gay, saying: "God knows I can't get a man, so maybe I should cross over."

With 3 weeks to go before High School Musical graduates to the big screen, High School Musical 3: Senior Year has broken records with the fastest and biggest advance sales ever in movie history, beating previous record holder "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "The Lord of the Rings" and all the Bond films.

Robbie Williams 'plans new album for 2009'
Publicado por Shujel en 11:31 | Etiquetas: Robbie Williams
Robbie Williams is to release a new album in 2009, according to his manager Tim Clark.
The popstar had gone on strike at the start of the year due to his unhappiness with the new owners of his record company EMI.
However, Clark confirmed to Newsbeat that Williams's strike is now over and a new record is forthcoming: "I would certainly hope that a new album will be coming next year. There are never any guarantees but that's what we would hope."
Clark said that the singer is currently hard at work writing new material: "I was with Robbie last week. He was at home and he was writing songs and he played some of them to us.
"He's in very fine spirits, in very fine form and I think what he's doing sounds really wonderful."
Clark added that rumours of Williams writing an album inspired by his interest in the extra-terrestrial were "exaggerated in the press, as if that is anything new".

Melanie Chisholm says she plans to keep her baby's sex a secret, and won't find out herself until the birth.
The singer, who is the last former Spice Girl to become a mum, showed off her baby bump for the first time on Friday.
But Mel insists she won't be following in the footsteps of her former bandmates by asking doctors whether it's a boy or a girl - and instead says she plans on keeping it as a "surprise".
The star says she will be calling the girls for advice, insisting they're all equally inspirational as mums.
She added: "They're all mums and they're all really good mums."
Mel announced she is expecting her first child with partner Tom last month.

Glastonbury Festival organisers said they were 'pretty chuffed' after half the tickets for next year's event were sold or reserved, eight months in advance.
Tickets for the music and arts jamboree in Somerset went on sale on Sunday morning at 9am and by early evening over half the 137,500 places were snapped up.
Spokesman John Shearlaw said Michael Eavis and his team were 'very calm' despite demand for tickets having 'dropped off' by 7pm. The sales lines will remain open for another week, before a second round of sales on April 6 which bosses hope will see the remaining compliment taken.
After a half-hour bottleneck with dedicated festival goers racing online or picking up the phone, enquiries came through smoothly.
Mr Shearlaw said it would have been 'extraordinary' if all the tickets had sold out immediately, so far in advance.
He said: "That would have been extraordinary, without a line-up and eight months before the event. You can look at it from both sides because if they had all sold out, there would have been eight months of turning people away!
"We are very calm about it - it's a vote of confidence. While its been too early for some people, our regulars, like students, obviously see it as a good deal to put £50 now and pay the rest later. We are pretty chuffed."
He denied that a rainy Sunday had got people out of the festival mood, saying: "It's brilliant that here we are in October talking about a festival that isn't happening until next year.
He added: "This is the third year of pre-registration and we are the one festival that can say our tickets are not going to touts."
After the first round of sales, the remaining tickets will be offered on the 5th April.

Singer Janet Jackson has postponed three more shows on her North American tour as she continues to recover from an undisclosed illness.
Her weekend concerts in North Carolina and Georgia have been put off, along with Tuesday's gig in Florida.
The 42-year-old arrived in the town of Greensboro on Saturday, but was advised by a doctor not to perform.
Jackson went to hospital in Montreal on Monday after becoming "suddenly ill" during a concert sound check.
She was discharged just two hours after arriving, a spokeswoman for the facility later said.
'Recuperating'
Jackson later announced plans to resume her tour on Saturday.
The local doctor in Greensboro said it was "evident" that she had not fully recovered, according to a statement released by the musician's representatives.
They added that Jackson will return home for further treatment, and said that she was "recuperating".
No further information about her condition has been released.
Fans are being asked to retain their concert tickets, and promoters are working on rescheduled dates for all the performances which have been postponed.
As well as Montreal, concerts in Boston and Philadelphia also failed to go ahead last week.
The cancelled Montreal concert was to have been Jackson's first appearance in the Canadian city for seven years.
Jackson also cancelled the Detroit stop of her Rock Witchu tour because of "production constraints".
The singer announced recently that she would leave record label Island Def Jam after just 14 months. Her first album with the label, Discipline, was released in February.
Janet, the youngest of nine siblings in the Jackson family, was one of the best-selling female recording artists of the late 1980s and 1990s, with hit albums including Control and Rhythm Nation 1814.

Ex-EastEnders star Richard 'dying of cancer'
Publicado por Shujel en 11:27 | Etiquetas: Wendy Richard
Former EastEnders star Wendy Richard is dying of cancer and has already made plans for her own funeral, the 65-year-old soap star has revealed in an interview published on Sunday.
The British actress, who is best known for her role as Pauline Fowler in the London-based soap for 21 years, told The Sunday Express newspaper she was diagnosed with the disease during a checkup in January.
"Twice I've had breast cancer but this is different. It's more aggressive this time, unfortunately, and has spread to the top of my spine and left ribs," she told the paper.
She was given a course of drugs, but the cancer had since spread to her bones and left kidney.
"The drugs I was given to help had an adverse effect. If anything, they did more damage than good so my health has really deteriorated," she said. "Now I have a cancerous growth on my right kidney and the cancer has spread to my bones."
The actress, who was born in Middlesbrough in northeastern England, also revealed she will be getting married next week to her 45-year-old partner John Burns, before starting an intensive course of chemotherapy in mid-October.
"My oncologist said I've got several useful years ahead of me but since then, it's got worse," said Richard who has been struggling with terrible nausea and pain in her bones and kidneys.
Before joining the cast of EastEnders in 1985, Richard was best known for her role as the saucy cockney shopgirl Shirley Brahms in the 1970s comedy Are You Being Served?
She also starred in several other British comedies, including Dad's Army and a number of Carry On films, a series of slapstick comedies from the 1960s and 70s characterised by their constant use of sexual innuendo and double entendres.

Salma Hayek: I'm not half lesbian!

GMTV’s Eamonn Holmes was left red faced yesterday after mistakenly announcing on air that actress Salma Hayek was a lesbian.
The 42 year old Hollywood star had been trying to tell the This Morning presenter that she was half Lebanese.
However, Eamonn misheard her and made an embarrassing gaffe, thinking that the Mexican-born actress had “outed” herself.
Belfast-raised Eamonn seemed to be struggling to understand the Ugly Betty star’s accent and thought she said she was half a lesbian after he commented on the origin of her surname
At the start of the interview he said: “Hayek doesn’t sound very Mexican.”
As she tried to explain that her father was Lebanese, Holmes quickly asked: “You’re a lesbian?” Seeing the funny side, Salma lent forward saying “Lebanese” very slowly.
Mortified by his mistake, he replied: “Oh sorry. I thought you were half lesbian. Forgive me.”
Salma was appearing on the morning show to promote her campaign to end tetanus in mothers and babies.
