ALESHA DIXON DAZZLES AS MOST SEARCHED CELEBRITY NAME OF 2008

 


 



Stunning solo singer Alesha Dixon has surprisingly been named the most sought after celebrity of 2008 according to UK based online media contacts search directory Celebrities Worldwide.


Former Mis-Teeq girl band star Dixon, 30, who won the British TV series "Strictly Come Dancing" in 2007 came top in a survey of nearly 14,000 name searches, beating the likes of David Tennant who plays time traveller Dr Who, Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson and controversial chat show host Jonathan Ross.


"It's quite surprising that Alesha Dixon has been searched more times this year than stars like Lily Allen (6th place) and Kylie Minogue (19th)" says Celebrities Worldwide spokesman Richard Brecker.


"But Alesha's amazing in that she combines beauty and glamour while managing to come across as a down-to-earth girl who people seem to relate to and genuinely like"


Dixon has been enjoying a successful music career come back with her album "The Alesha Show" and new single "The Boy Does Nothing" released last month and is a favourite with the public and press alike.


"We think she must be a popular choice with many of the charities using our database and suspect she ticks all the right boxes - friendly, while being sexy, approachable and inoffensive at the same time" adds Brecker.


"I guess the public have warmed to her as well since she ended her relationship with her husband the former So Solid Crew star MC Harvey after his much publicized affair with singer Javine Hylton"


Celebrities Worldwide provides charities and media and entertainment organization with details of celebrity agents and representatives and its website attracts thousands of hits per day from subscribers seeking contact info.


Tycoon Sir Alan Sugar, the star of the BBC TV series "The Apprentice" was the most requested business name but there was some bad news for George Michael (99th place) and Brad Pitt (100) who were the least searched entries in the top 100 list.
