The annual fundraising run with more than 30,000 participants is the single largest donor to the Good Friday Appeal with next year’s run hoping to raise $2 million.

The former Governator will be in town for his annual Arnold Sports Festival, where the smell of testosterone lingers heavily in the air. “I’m on a global fitness crusade to get kids off the couch and get them moving,” Arnie told Page 13.

KYLIE SPINS AROUND BACK TO MUSHROOM

“Kylie is a superstar,” Mushroom Group chairman Gudinski said. “I’m incredibly excited to have her releasing music again via the Mushroom Group. She’s family to us and it’s great to have her back home again.”

Minogue will release her upcoming album, hinted at having a slightly Nashville twang, with Mushroom Records in Australia after a special deal was inked with her new label BMG UK. Minogue hits the ruby rug at Hawthorn’s Rivoli cinemas on Thursday for her film Swinging Safari, a stone’s throw from where she grew up in Camberwell. It is expected she may hang around to celebrate Christmas at home.
