DWA and INCredible announce that a double A side release of “Goodbye” and “Happy” will be released in early January, after the Christmas singles rush. Whether this actually happens remains to be seen, but it looks doubtful ‘cos if this was true, then promos would be circulating around but they’re not.
On December 1st, Alexia took part in World Aids day, telling viewers and listeners of “Radio Deejay” and “MTV Select” the importance of using protection in them sorts of moments (and no I’m not gonna spell it out for you!). Whilst on MTV Select, Alexia tried her hand at VeeJaying. A couple of days before this, Alexia and Alex Britti (a musical colleague and friend of Alexia’s) took part in a Wella hairstyling event in Milan in front of 9000 people. On December 14th, Alexia took part in a new Italian TV show called “Gli Indelebili”.

DWA’s final News update failed to upload to their site for some reason, unintentionally leaving Alexia fans in the dark to where Alexia’s Christmas shows would be. Here’s a copy of the news article:
We've come to the moment you have all been waiting for: this week we're finally letting you in the special Christmas concerts in Italy starting from Thursday 23rd of December. For those of you who have asked yourselves where Alexia will be on New Year's Eve, here is the long waited answer.
But that's not all. Not only are we giving you the information to follow concerts live but you can also read up on how Alexia will be spending Christmas Eve - her only evening off over the Christmas period.
Let's start this week's Alexia News with this:
Alexia is hoping very much to spend Christmas Eve this year in the company of her family and friends.
She'll be celebrating Christmas in a secret place and the only clue we can give you is that it is high up in the mountains, where long before Christmas Eve it will have snowed...
However, for consolation she has let us in on what she'll most likely be doing that evening by starting with her family's traditional Christmas meal:
"The evening meal will consist of a traditional Christmas menu starting with "frittelle" similar to croquettes but with "baccalŕ" (stockfish) inside. The batter is made up of either normal or chestnut flour and then, once the stockfish has been dipped in this liquid, fried. This is accompanied with cabbage as a side dish. The first course will probably be of "tortellini" (pasta with filling). The second course consists of lentils, which are eaten due to the tale that they bring prosperity (because they look like coins) with slices of "zampone" (trotter-a pig's foot eaten as food). (Alexia confided that she isn't too keen on eating this last dish!). Then it's time to finish off with Panettone, Pandoro, dried fruit and various bars of nougat, which are typical Christmas cakes and desserts. I'm a teetotaller so there will be no alcohol on the table, but just bottled water! Anyway, after this extremely traditional meal, there is the wait for midnight mass, which is usually spent by a watching a funny film with friends just to stay in harmony with the Christmas atmosphere.
After midnight mass I'm looking forward of making the most of my free time and having some fun with my friends by going on a rampage through the small towns and villages high up in the mountains!
Have a great Christmas and a wonderful new millennium everybody!"
