Elle a célébré bien des anniversaires tout au long de sa vie mais il y en a un qui lui tient à cœur tout particulièrement ces derniers temps : GAIA Retreat, son Spa australien fêtera ses 10 années d’existence et de succès samedi prochain.
Newton-John est co-propriétaire de ce Spa avec Gregg Cave et deux autres amis, Warwick Evans et Ruth Kalnin. Tous prendront part aux célébrations ce samedi. La rumeur laisse entendre qu'Anni-Frid Lyngstad du groupe ABBA et quelques autres artistes internationaux seront les surprises d'un anniversaire qui fera date ..
La suite est à lire en anglais ci-dessous ... Olivia Newton-John to celebrate health retreat Gaia's 10th birthday.
She's had a few special anniversaries during her 43-year career, but this Saturday Olivia Newton-John will celebrate one that's especially close to her heart. Her health retreat, Gaia, turns 10 and the music legend is hosting an invite-only Carnival celebration on the retreat's idyllic Bangalow grounds.
As she prepared to fly home from Florida for the party, Newton-John told S of her love for the spiritual place she discovered in 2004 when driving through the Byron Bay hinterland with best friend Gregg Cave.
"We have always felt my mother Irene's spirit at Gaia since Gregg and I first found it. She had passed only weeks before and we believed she led us to find this incredibly special property.
"She would be so proud of us to have come this far and that we have inspired many people to lead a healthier and happy life. We still feel her in all aspects of Gaia. Her photography is everywhere there - she was a gifted photographer."
Newton-John co-owns Gaia with Cave and two other friends, Warwick Evans and Ruth Kalnin. All will be taking part in Saturday's celebrations, joining global guests rumoured to include ABBA's Anni-Frid Lyngstad and some surprise international performers.
Newton-John can't wait to be back. "I feel like I'm home at Gaia. I try to get there as often as I can - at least three times a year," she says. "A few days there feel like a week. It restores and replenishes my being.
"I love walks on Samira Lookout, the highest point on the property - and the highest point in the shire. It is very spiritual; a beautifully peaceful place to contemplate."
At 66, Newton-John still spends much of her time traveling, performing and campaigning for health causes. The cancer survivor credits the retreat, built on ancient Aboriginal sacred ground, for her continuing vitality. "Gaia's nurturing spirit and ethos always stays with me, along with what I learn from our wonderful yoga teachers, healers and therapists," she says. "I always leave inspired and stimulated with ideas from our team - especially our wonderful chefs. We now also have our own certified organic skincare range, Retreatment, which I love. It's in my suitcase now."
The four friends and directors are looking forward to sharing memories at the party. Says Gregg Cave: "Comparing ourselves now to when we first embarked on our Gaia adventure, we really were stepping in to the unknown. None of us had done anything like this before. We were relying on gut instinct and wanting to create a space we could escape to for some time out. I think it's surpassed all our expectations. Ten years on we are thrilled with the knowledge that a visit to Gaia can really be life changing for so many of our guests.
"We feel blessed that as four people from very different walks of life, we have remained strong in our commitment to creating the best Gaia possible and also having fun along the way."

The Celebrity Apprentice est une émission américaine de télé-réalité organisée par Donald Trump, créé par Mark Burnett et diffusée sur NBC. Les célébrités vivent dans la Trump World Tower, jusqu'à leur élimination. Elles doivent tout faire, le nettoyage, les repas, les comptes.... s'occuper du Trump World Tower. À chaque fin d'épisode, Donald Trump et ses seconds (les juges) désignent les trois moins bons gestionnaires de l'équipe perdante, et un d'eux est viré de l'aventure, et donc ne gagnera pas l'argent pour son association.
Cette année Leeza Gibbons actrice et productrice (que nous ne connaissons pas en France) est en finale ... et Leeza Gibbons à pour héroïne et pour amie une certaine Olivia Newton-John .... Leeza Gibbons essaye de décrocher un maximum de dons pour lutter contre la maladie d'Alzheimer.
C'est donc tout naturellement que Leeza a demandé à son amie de se produire lors du grand gala final de l'émission ! Olivia Newton-John est attendue pour y chanter MAGIC ! L'émission sera diffusée le 16 février prochain sur NBC !
As we faded to black and teased next week’s huge live finale, the odds seemed to favor my rival Leeza who, despite her crew’s partial desertion, announced that she had landed Olivia Newton John to perform at the big gala. - Geraldo Rivera

Par LEXPRESS.fr, publié le 10/02/2015 Le grand concours européen de la chanson a offert une invitation à l'Australie pour célébrer son 60e anniversaire. Elle ne pourra participer à nouveau que si elle gagne! Déjà large, la famille Eurovision va accueillir un nouveau membre à l'occasion de sa 60e édition. L'Australie a été invitée pour l'occasion et pour une fois seulement, a annoncé l'organisateur, European Broadcasting Union, à moins qu'elle remporte le concours. Celui-ci aura lieu du 19 au 23 mai prochain dans le pays du dernier vainqueur, comme le veut la tradition. Il s'agira en l'occurrence de l'Autriche, après le succès de Conchita Wurst. Si l'Australie n'a jamais participé à la compétition, quelques- uns de ses citoyens s'y sont déjà produits. Lors de l'Eurovision 2014, la chanteuse australienne Jessico Mauboy avait chanté hors concours.
En 1974, Olivia Newton John, anglo-australienne, représentait le Royaume-Uni avec Long Live Love. La représentante britannique de 1996, Gina G, était originaire de Brisbane et une autre Australienne, Jane Comerford, avait représenté l'Allemagne en 2006. Souhaitons bonne chance à nos amis australiens pour remporter cette nouvelle édition .. mais souhaitons aussi qu'ils n'engagent jamais ONJ pour distribuer les points vers la fin du concours .. 12 points goes to .. . - Galerie de photos

Whether you know her as a chart-topping singer in the '70s with hits such as "I Honestly Love You," "Have You Never Been Mellow" and "Please Mr. Please," or in the '80s with "Physical" and "Heart Attack" and her iconic roles as Sandy in "Grease" and Kira in "Xanadu," one thing is certain — Olivia Newton-John is unforgettable.
Celebrating more than 50 years in show business, Newton-John has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, won four Grammy Awards, an Emmy, numerous People's Choice Awards and more.
Fans can catch a rare Central Florida appearance with Newton-John at Universal Orlando Resort's 2015 Mardi Gras Celebration, which kicks off this weekend. The event will feature 16 nights of concerts from some of music's biggest names. Newton-John will get things started.
Her Las Vegas show "Summer Nights" currently has residency at the world-famous Flamingo Hotel and Casino and has been extended through 2015.
QUESTION: The younger generation probably identifies with you more as an actress while others identify with you as a singer. In your own opinion, are you a singer who just happens to act, or an actress who just happens to sing?
ANSWER: I am a singer who acts. I guess it depends on if you grew up seeing me on "Grease" or "Xanadu" or knew me from my singing before on how you relate to me.
Q: While you are in town, you are not only performing at Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras, but also doing shows for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute and the Moffitt Cancer Center. Was your sister's passing from cancer the reason you became involved?
A: No, I actually have been involved with them for over 12 years. Lee Moffitt was actually a mentor to me, served on my board and is very dear to me. Losing my sister, who I love very much, kept me going strong. My goal is for us to beat this, and I believe sometime in my lifetime we will find a cure and end cancer.
Q: With more than 50 years in the entertainment business, what do you consider your biggest motivation to perform?
A: I just enjoy it. Singing is a part of me. Music is a part of who I am. I can't do this forever, so I am enjoying every minute that I can still do it.
Q: If you could go back in your career and do one thing over, what would it be?
A: I don't think there is anything I would do different. Everything I have done, whether good or bad, was a lesson in some way and helped get me to where I am now.
Q: What is the most embarrassing stage moment you've ever had?
A: Oh, there have been a lot and quite often. I have had my fair share of wardrobe malfunctions, but nothing too bad. I have forgotten lyrics before and that's always my biggest nightmare. I had that happen before and I just had to stop the song and start over. I got a good laugh out of it and so did the audience, so that did a lot to break down that fear. You always worry you will forget the lyrics, or forget what you are supposed to do next.
Q: What is the most ridiculous thing you have ever seen written about you in the tabloids?
A: There has been a lot, but I am not going to repeat it. That would just perpetuate their nonsense.
Q: For an up-and-coming artist, social media is critical to success. Is it important for an established artists such as yourself?
A: It is hard to really know. I know it has value and it is a great way to get the word out instantly. You can reach people very quickly, so that's a big plus for an artist like me, too. I don't do a lot of it myself, but if I have something I want to say, something I really care about, it is a great way to get that out there.
Q: After having done a residency at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, which was just renewed, is it hard for you to get out there and do a regular tour?
A: Well, this is just a short tour and is nothing major. Being that this tour is just in one state (Florida) it's not so bad. Vegas is wonderful because I'm in the same place every night, I have a schedule which I never had before, and I get to sleep in the same bed every night. I live in Florida part-time, so this tour isn't too tough on me.
Q: Which do you enjoy more, recording music or playing live?
A: I used to really love the recording side more, but now it's about 50/50. I have a great band, and I love the daily interaction with the band and with the fans. We are like a family and that interaction with the band and connection with the audience makes it fun. So even though I used to like recording more, it really is 50/50 now.
Q: What is next for you musically?
A: My daughter, Chloe, and I are recording an album together. We hope to have that out in a couple of months. I am also working on an album with a couple of great female singer/songwriters, but we aren't ready to reveal any more details on that just yet. So I am staying busy and working on those two projects. Source : Floridatoday.com
