R&B-Pop starlet Alesha Dixon graces the cover of RWD magazine’s September issue. Looking good.

In other Alesha news, the former Misteeq singer’s new LP ‘The Entertainer’ has gotten off to a shaky start, ahead of its November release. Lead single ‘Drummer Boy’ failed to resonate with listeners – managing a lowly #15 peak on the Official UK Singles Chart. This coming despite major radio backing, a slew of TV performances, and a high-budget video.

With the 31 year old’s label having invested serious £££ into the project (the follow-up to 2008’s moderately successful ‘The Alesha Show’), Ms. Dixon will no doubt need to stage a water-into-wine esque feat with her next single if her place at the label is to remain safe.

Randomness: I wonder why there was next-to-no fuss made over the fact Alesha and Alexandra Burke released their singles in the same week? In any case, as reported Burke rocketed to #1 with ‘Start Without You’ – which according to midweek figures is set to hold onto the top spot this week.

In somewhat of a surprising move, the Sugababes have launched a new line of fragrances. Aptly titled ‘Sugababes by the Sugababes’, the range boasts three distinctive scents…‘Tempt’, ‘Tease’, and ‘Touch’.

Riddle me this: how, when the group’s name is tarnished beyond repair, do they expect to flog these cheap perfumes? Folk wouldn’t buy your album, why would they want to smell like you? Random.
