Hazel Hawke Dies: Leigh Sales Interview With Sue Pieters-Hawke

In news just in, Hazel Hawke - the ex-wife of former Australian prime minister - has died.

She was age 83.

Hazel Hawke AO (born 20 July 1929) was the former wife of Bob Hawke, Prime Minister of Australia from 1983-91. They divorced in 1995.

Hazel worked in social policy areas, and was a talented amateur pianist, as well as a patron of the arts. After she was diagnosed with dementia, she made public appearances in order to raise awareness of the disease and surrounding issues.

In more recent years, she was placed in high-level nursing home care.

She had four children (including Robert junior, deceased).

On 3 November 2003, the ABC aired an episode of Australian Story in which Hawke publicly revealed that she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Here Hazel's daughter Susan Pieters-Hawke is interviewed by ABC's Leigh Sales, about Sue's book Hazel's Journey: A personal experience of Alzheimer's. The clip shows what Hazel's daughter thought of her beloved mother:

Sue's book describes the previous decade of Hawke's life and the onset of Alzheimer's. At the book launch on 1 November 2004, Pieters-Hawke revealed that her mother had reached the mid-stages of the disease and was now suffering from quite severe short-term memory loss. That year the Hazel Hawke Dementia and Care Fund was established.

Here is a clip Hazel and Bob recorded for a drugs and alcohol community service announcement:

See? Hollywood's happiest couple have little, niggly domestic issues too!

Here, Jennifer Aniston co-hosts Ellen's show, and Ellen's wife Portia is a guest... and Jennifer asks Portia what really, really bugs her about Ellen. (Portia... the food thing... I can relate). Watch:

'The Hangover III' - Red Carpet and Review

'The Hangover III' premiere happened in LA overnight and the stars were all out in force.

First, let's talk about Bradley Cooper. He attended. Okay, that's all I had to say about that. His mere presence is swoon-worthy.

Moving on from Bradley and my fixation with him (and his hair! Although his hair should not have been trimmed for the red carpet, just sayin'), 'Mr Chow' and his real-life wife, and 'Alan' and 'Stu and his screen wife, Heather Graham and the rest of the cast attended. Scroll down for the photos:

Ed Helms ('Stu'), the prankster

And so, the movie. What's it like? First, here's the trailer.

There are certain scenes that are classic 'Hangover'. Caesar's Palace. Mr Chow. Girls. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination, but suffice to say, the ensuing and preceding scenes are as mad as you expect. And quite cover-your-eyes compelling (I am someone who gets easily spooked when someone is about to, you know, get killed).

Doug... poor ol' Doug gets the raw end of the stick, just as he did in the original 'Hangover'.

And then there's Melissa McCarthy. She plays the accidental love interest for Alan... and it's a match made is quirk-ville heaven. It's loads of fun watching these two in their scenes.

Some early jokes between the boys are rather flat, and you hope it picks up. And it does. (In fact, I found there were several, laugh out loud-ridic one liners that were very amusing). The storyline is clever and involved, and while a tad far-fetched - is as true 'Hangover' style - there are surprises and literal cliffhangers to keep you involved right until the end.

And it is THE END, as all the movie posters attest, and all the actors have said in their promo interviews. It's director Todd Phillips's final swan song for his 'rat pack', and it has been a fun ride, one that I will watch each time it's repeated on pay- or commercial TV.

Will you go to see the movie? 'The Hangover III' It starts screening in Australia from Thursday May 23.

Don't Get A Flu Shot: Jessica Ainscough's Healthy Alternatives

Are you thinking about getting the flu shot?

In an article titled 'Thinking of getting the flu shot? Do this instead', Jessica Ainscough - founder of 'The Wellness Warrior' - offers up ten suggestions for staying away from the winter jab.

How to boost your immunity and naturally ward off colds and flus:

1. Eat tonnes of veggies

Fresh, organic vegetables are true superfoods when it comes to building up your immune system. Vitamin C loaded veggies are particularly powerful, so load up on capsicum, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and fruits like papaya, strawberries, kiwi fruit, oranges and lemons.

2. Drink veggie juices and smoothies every day

The quickest and best way to get the nutrients held in fresh veggies into your system is by juicing them. A juicer will turn your veggies into a potent, magical, life-boosting elixir.

Smoothies are also awesome, especially when you add superfoods like green powders, camu camu berry (high in vitamin C) and gubinge (super high in vitamin C).

3. Drink cold & flu fighting tonics

I love drinking teas made from lemon, ginger and honey in the cooler months. These ingredients are immunising, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral.

4. The real flu shot

Combine this in a shot glass: Ginger juice, lemon juice, raw honey, and a drop of oregano oil. Shot it down and let it work its magic.

Are you a fan of the flu shot? I am not. And yet... I do get sick. I am fully aware it's because I don't look after myself as I should. The husband gets the free flu shot offered at his workplace, and he walks around in shorts and bare foot on tiles at home... and never gets sick. Ever. This man's immune system is made of steel, though. And mine has been shite for as long as I can remember. I plan to take on Jessica's suggestions from here on.
