I do not know if it was published before, but I found a promotional ad produced for the “Phassion” magazine broadcasted on Fashion TV. A female model presents a jewellery of Chatila, Graff and Ritz Fine Jewellery. All to the live version of Roxette’s hit single – “The Look.”

Expressen’s celebrities of the year: Roxette in TOP 30
Every year Swedish tabloid Expressen ranks the most important Swedish celebrities of the year. In 2009 Per Gessle was on the 33rd position and Marie was 84th. This year, thanks to the royal wedding and small summer tour, Roxette was ranked as the 23rd celebrity of the year in Sweden.

Don’t forget to vote. Only 4 days left!
Hello there!
We hope you had a lovely Christmas break. Only 4 days are left in our Roxette World Tour 2011 competition – December 31st is the deadline. You can choose max. three songs that you would like to hear during the forthcoming concerts. Of course, we skip the big hits and concentrate on those less known pearls. In fact I would like you to choose only these tracks that were NEVER performed live before. It was you, dear RoxetteBlog.com readers, who managed to place “Silver blue” on the Roxette’s 2010 playlist. Marie and Per are still interested in your opinions. Rehearsals start in February, but now it’s the last moment to vote.
I have counted almost 180 votes so far and results are quite interesting. If you haven’t voted yet, do it know. And yes, we are going to do a second part of voting after the “Charm school” album’s release.
Roxette’s official website got relaunched
Just in time for Roxette’s new single, album and tour, the official site www.roxette.se got relaunched. The website had been under the previous design concept for roughly five years. It shared the basic concept with all other official Per Gessle homepages and had been launched with Per’s “Sun Of A Plumber” album in late 2005 (as far as I remember). Now it appears to be a standalone website, the other homepages remain unchanged so far. Check out the new content and functions!
The site features new and improved pages for news, biography, discography, lyrics, gallery, newsletter, webshop (via bengans.se) and contact adresses, embeds Per’s latest Twitter messages and links to the merchandise store, Gessle/Roxette forum, Snowish, Twitter and Facebook pages. Note that it’s the Roxette Facebook page, not Per Gessle Official. So it looks like Roxette will control that (so far passive) page soon as well.
Per Gessle on SIRIUS XM concert
Yesterday at the Apollo club in Harlem an exclusive concert for SIRIUS XM listeners took place. SIRIUS XM launched a month-long “Paul McCartney’s Band on the Run Radio” channel devoted to the music of Paul McCartney. The concert also celebrated that SIRIUS XM reaching 20 million subscribers.
Per Gessle was one of the guests – he was sitting next to Keith Richard and Ronny Wood.
Great Paul McC-show tonight at the Apollo in Harlem. He started with Magical Mystery Tour. Hard to beat!
Interesting ppl in the seats next to me: Keith and Ron liked it when Macca did Marvin’s Hitchhike…
