Dannii Minogue wants to star in 'Desperate Housewives'. The 'X Factor' judge is keen to revive her acting career and has her sights set on the popular US comedy-drama series about the lives of a group of wealthy female friends. In a bid to break Hollywood, the 37-year-old star - who shot to fame when she appeared in Australian soap 'Home and Away' in the 80s before becoming a pop star - has flown over to Los Angeles for a host of meetings.
A source said: "She's very excited about breaking America. Dannii would love to get a role in one of their top shows, especially 'Desperate Housewives' or even 'Ugly Betty'.
"Agents know she is a pop star but thanks to website YouTube, they've seen her on 'X Factor', 'Australia's Got Talent' and her days on 'Home and Away'."
Dannii - the younger sister of Australian pop star Kylie Minogue - is also expected to meet with 'American Idol' presenter and radio DJ Ryan Seacrest to discuss his production company.
The source added: "She's even got a meeting lined up with Ryan Seacrest. The pair have one thing in common - Simon Cowell - so no doubt that will help."
She has also reportedly signed with the William Morris Endeavour celebrity agency - who represent Catherine Zeta-Jones, Charlize Theron, Prince and Matt Damon.
Dannii's trip has, however, been overshadowed by her 'X Factor' colleague Cheryl Cole - who is also trying to make it big in the US.
Another source told Britian's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's pure coincidence that she's in Los Angeles at the same time as Cheryl. They are planning to meet for a coffee over there to swap notes."
