Florence Henderson (Brady Bunch star and cook book author)



Pop culture icon Florence Henderson, AKA Mrs Brady from classic hit TV series ‘The Brady Bunch’, is heading Down Under. Florence will visit Sydney from 25 June to 28 June to share her short-cut kitchen tips.  Besides wearing the title of ‘America’s Favourite Mom’, Florence hosted a cooking variety show that saw her working with some of the world’s best chefs and has two cookbooks to her name.

Florence is coming to Australia thanks to the newly launched Ardmona Duo, a flavoursome mix of vine ripened Australian tomatoes and tomato paste in one easy to open can; the perfect short cut for cooks who want fabulous food on the table, quick smart.

Florence is the youngest of ten children as well as having four children of her own.  “I’m not a professional cook, just someone who loves good food. I especially love tomatoes and their versatility.  When I heard Ardmona was launching the Duo range where delicious vine ripened Australian tomatoes are combined with tomato paste, I thought, ‘what a great short cut creation’.  One of my cook books was actually called Short Cut Cooking,” said Ms Henderson.

To coincide with Florence’s visit to Australia and the launch of Ardmona Duo, a Facebook App will be launched where Australians can sift through a plethora of essential timesaving short cut cooking tips.  The Ardmona Book of Better Ways contains helpful tips such as how to stop rice from sticking, how to slice mushrooms quickly and evenly, how to effortlessly grate cheese with less mess, how to boil eggs without them cracking and how to easily open jars with pesky lids.

“When it comes to food, I’m a big believer in supporting local industry.  Why buy imported products if what you’re growing locally is actually superior tasting?  “I’ve tasted the Australian grown Ardmona tomatoes and compared them to Italian canned tomatoes and found the Ardmona product to be full of flavour.  There is definitely something to be said about the sunshine vine ripened tomatoes of Down Under; they really know how to pack a flavoursome punch!”

Ardmona canned tomatoes are sourced from Victoria’s ‘fruit bowl’, the Goulburn Valley and Southern NSW. Ardmona exclusively uses tomatoes grown and manufactured in Australia.  Ardmona tomatoes aren’t picked green and later ripened before being canned. These tomatoes are vine ripened and picked at their peak maturity to ensure the succulent tomato flavours are captured.  Within 24 hours of harvesting, the tomatoes are cooked and sealed to preserve the true vine ripened rick flavour.

Ardmona Duo with the added richness of paste comes in straight finely chopped tomatoes with paste or;

·Finely Chopped Tomatoes with Paste and Basil & Garlic
·Finely Chopped Tomatoes with Paste and Herbs
·Finely Chopped Tomatoes with Paste and Roasted Capsicum
·Finely Chopped Tomatoes with Paste and Onion & Garlic
·Finely Chopped Tomatoes with Paste and Bolognese

ABOUT ARDMONA
Ardmona has been part of Aussie meals for generations... 90 years to be exact. From its beginnings as the Ardmona Fruits Products Cooperative Company Limited established in 1921, Ardmona has grown to deliver a range of trusted products, and is today the leading brand in the Canned Tomatoes category.

The Star Casino hosts Renae Ayris - Miss Universe Sydney, Australia


Echo Entertainment is apparently more about entertainment than gambling these days, casino tie in or not, and tonight its party time at The Star. This is most assuredly worth taking a gamble on. There's a strong chance that by the time you stop parting you would have had an absolute blast.

They have hosted countless international acts and acted as home to the Hollywood and Las Vegas stars where they come down under to Sin City Sydney.

Seems a nature that the new Miss Universe Australia, Renae Ayris, and friends should be in the celebrity mix to show their faces on a Friday night at The Star.

They continue to push the celebrity card, and then there's the nightclubs, bars, slots, games and The Darling - the 5 star hotel. It's all there for the taking. Work hard and play and party harder.

News on Miss Universe Australia...

Danver and photography lover from Perth has been crowned Miss Universe Australia.

Renae Ayris has been voted the nation's most beautiful woman and presented with a $30,000 Temelli Jewellery crown at a black tie event in Melbourne (9th June 2012).

She narrowly edged out Melbourne woman Mary Vitinaros, who was named runner-up.

The night saw some of Australia's most beautiful women take to the stage in swimwear and evening gowns before judges declared a winner.

Melbourne's hopes of a local winner were buoyed when two of the final five included Melbourne woman Mary Vitinaros and Victorian Julia Perrott-Clarke.

Ms Perrott-Clarke won the crowd over after facing a controversial question from former news presenter Naomi Robson about her views on gay marriage.

"I believe that everyone should have equal rights whether it be marriage or any other factor," she responded.

"Everyone has their own opinion and if it doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights then I think it's a great thing."

Shouting her final reply she ended by saying.

"If they are in love, then they should celebrate that love and if that means marriage, then they should get married because it's amazing."

The response saw her named 4th runner-up.

Strutting their stuff in evening gowns in front of a crowd in the hundreds in the Melbourne Sofitel's Grand Ballroom the finalists wowed the room.

The panel responsible for naming the winner included actress and model Annalise Braakensiek, actor Vince Collosimo and fashion designer Wayne Cooper.

The West Australian girl will now represent Australia at the international Miss Universe competition.

Thirty-three national finalists battled it out for the title, with the winner to go on to compete in the international Miss Universe pageant in December.

Everything is a blur - Miss Universe...

When Miss Universe Australia 2012 Renae Ayris received her tiara at Melbourne's Sofitel on Friday night she had the added thrill of accepting the title from her friend - 2011 Miss Universe Australia Scherri-Lee Biggs.

Ms Ayris said it was watching Scherri's experience as Australia's Miss Universe that inspired her to enter the pageant this year.

"I've always watched but last year I followed it really closely because Scherri was in it, she's actually a friend of mine," Ms Ayris said.

"I was so excited for her to hand me over the crown."

Dressed in a navy and silver cocktail dress by Perth designer Ruth Tarvydas, the 21-year-old blonde looked bright and fresh on Saturday despite having not slept a wink the night before.

The life-altering announcement still hadn't sunk in when she fronted the media for her first official press call as Miss Universe Australia.

"I'm so overwhelmed still, everything is just a blur from last night," Ms Ayris gushed.
"I'm going to wake up one morning and say,"Wow I'm Miss Universe Australia'."

The Miss Universe competition was the model's first time in a beauty pageant, but she has taken a shot at fame before.

She is an avid dancer who auditioned for a role in Baz Luhrmann's Academy Award-winning film Moulin Rouge!.

"I got down to the very last cut but I was too young," she said.

Being crowned Miss Universe Australia will open up other avenues to Ms Ayris.

As part of her duties she will be acting as the charity ambassador for Operation Smile, a children's medical charity dedicated to improving the lives of children in developing countries born with facial deformities.

Another official responsibility will be to represent Australia in the international Miss Universe pageant in December.

"I'll try my best to do Australia proud," Ms Ayris said.

There have been two Miss Universe title-holders from Australia, with Kerry-Ann Wells claiming the title in 1972 and Jennifer Hawkins in 2004.

Wrap Up...

The Star's tag line is 'There will be stories', and its a sure bet Star will keep living up to that if tonight was any indication. A casino matched with Miss Universe Australia, a media pack with snappers all trying to get the models attention, so you can just imagine.

MaRLo – Bio:
In the past 12 months alone, MaRLo has had a #1 beatport hit with ‘The Island,’ remixed Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten (for the second time), been a regular on the top end of the Beatport charts, mixed the Ministry of Sound ‘Trance Nation Australia’ compilation for the second year in a row, tours around Australia weekly AND launched a radio show. Add some major tours around the world to that already impressive list, including the ‘A State Of Trance 550 Den Bosch’ event and Asia’s largest EDM festival ‘Massive 2011’ and it is clear that there really is no stopping the busy Dutch born Aussie resident as he makes his way to becoming one of the top players in the game!

The MaRLo sound is a signature blend of hands in the air moments with tech infused beats, encompassing influences of Trance, Techno, Tech-House and a mish mash of various other chunky sounds. MaRLo is not one to be pigeon holed and his DJ sets can only be described as the "MaRLo sound.” MaRLo's studio trickery has seen him sign productions to trance super-labels such as: Armada, Spinnin Records, Blackhole Recordings, Flashover and many more.

MaRLo's productions are always diverse, with no track sounding like the last.  MaRLo has been able to gain a large and loyal fan base who are always ready to be surprised by his latest release. This diversity was recognised by world famous ‘Cirque du Soleil’ when they asked him to produce and perform his own interpretation of their music at the massive ‘Uitmarkt festival’ in Amsterdam.  MaRLo's productions receive highly coveted respect and recognition, featuring on popular TV shows, reaching high rotation on FM radio stations and scoring ‘Tune of the Month’ in: ‘Mixmag,’ ‘DJ Mag’ and ‘Tilllate’ for his track MaRLo feat Kristen - ‘Is it Real.’ His most recent EP saw MaRLo dominate the Beatport charts by having 4 tracks in the top 50 at once, which included MaRLo's remix of W&W's ‘Impact,’ which was still in the Beatport charts 8 months since its initial release.

MaRLo's ‘The Island’ was also an instant hit and shot up to the #1 spot on the Beatport trance charts. The track received support from all the usual heavyweights and also featured an official video clip.  DJ Mag have said it has a "crisp, bold production" and that Jano's "duskily appealing vocals" are "simple yet magnificent." 

After many consistent big room bombs from the Dutch born Aussie, Armin Van Buuren asked MaRLo to remix his track Armin Van Buuren pres Gaia – ‘Stellar.’

MaRLo's remix of Ferry Corsten’s ‘Brainbox’ is a dance floor destroyer and was played by Ferry Corsten in every set for over a year.  It was such a big hit that Ferry personally asked MaRLo to remix one of his biggest tunes to date ‘Punk’ which peaked at #3 on the Beatport charts.
MaRLo’s tracks frequent the Beatport top 10 and are played by Armin van Buuren,  Markus Schulz, Sander van Doorn, Ferry Corsten and many more. 

As a DJ, MaRLo's sets echo the diversity of his releases and are heavily filled with his own productions.  In 2011 he was voted Australia's #2 Trance DJ and #4 across all genres in the ‘Inthemix top 50 DJ poll’ (#1 Overall DJ in his home state of Melbourne, Victoria).  In 2010 MaRLo was also asked to mix the Ministry of Sound ‘Trance Nation Vol 2 CD,’ which included a 14 date tour of sold out events.  It was such a success that Ministry of Sound asked MaRLo back in 2011 to mix ‘Trance Nation Vol 3’ which also included a solid tour. 

MaRLo was tipped by ‘Trance International’ as a hot lister and one to watch for 2011.  He has played to thousands of people across the world at events such as: Sensation, Trance Energy (Holland and Australia), Uitmarkt Festival (Amsterdam), Massive 2011 (Malaysia), Stereosonic, Creamfields, Godskitchen and many more.  Not your typical trance producer, MaRLo brings something fresh to the world of electronic music.  With his achievements to date, a solid list of upcoming releases, collaborations and international gigs, it looks like there are no signs of things slowing down for the energetic MaRLo.

Lady Gaga releases perfume this month

Multi platinum and Grammy Award-winning Lady Gaga will release her first fragrance titled 'LADY GAGA FAME' this month.


Bound to surpass all norms and standards in the fragrance industry with its innovative technology,LADY GAGA FAME is the first ever black Eau de Parfum that sprays clear and becomes invisible once airborne. The black-to-clear fragrance is a fantastic innovation of patent pending fluid technology.

The scent is built around three main accords: dark, sensual and light. The dark accord was inspired by Belladonna, the deadly nightshade possessed by haunted beauties since the 18th century. From this darkness, the fragrance evolves to a sensual accord of opulence, a fusion of dripping honey, saffron and apricot nectar. Lastly, the light accord whispers magnificence with the rich floral layer of crushed Tiger Orchid and Jasmine Sambac embodies timeless beauty.
