A recently launched talk show on China Central Television (CCTV) is said to have extended an invitation to Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue, who will soon arrive in China to hold solo concerts in Shanghai and Beijing.

It is hoped she will become the first international icon to be on the program, local newspaper 'The Beijing News' reported on Thursday.

The new talk show 'Yong Le Hui' is run by Li Yong, a controversial entertainment program host who's been successful in presenting the weekly show 'Luck 52' on CCTV for over a decade. 'Yong Le Hui' is a chat program, inviting top people from different social spheres to share their life experiences.

And Li Yong, who is estimated to be worth some 390 million yuan, claimed his fourth consecutive title as the 'Most Valuable Host in China' a few days ago after finance magazine 'The Mundell' released its latest list.

With an allegedly unprecedented glitzy and glamorous Beijing concert to prepare for on the last stop of her world tour, Kylie Minogue has yet to confirm if she will be available to attend the new talk show, or not.
