"I'm the voice of David Jones!" Tina Arena, whose smooth vocals and endearing persona has carried her to great success here and overseas for so many years, has put her voice to DJ's TV campaign this season. David Jones' roots remain firmly planted in Australia. The store has enlisted Tina to record a special Christmas theme song this year which will spearhead the retailer's marketing strategy over the next two months and raise some serious funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
"Christmas time is all about the family coming together. Each year we do our best to be with our parents – we come together, the siblings and the grandchildren. Our traditions are simple … we cook, we eat and we always have a good laugh! Our French Christmases are usually spent at our home – lots of friends pop in during the day. It’s still about family and food, though the weather and the menu is different… The food is vast and rich … from oysters a la natural, cheeses, to de canard … duck. Of course, there is always wine to accompany. We don’t always eat turkey here in Australia for Christmas, with Italian parents! I do love it every now and again though … there is usually the smell of a roast and lasagne, slowly cooking. Antipasto and champagne come out early!"
Tina’s new version of 10cc’s 1976 hit “The Things We Do for Love” is available on iTunes now with proceeds going to breast cancer research: http://bit.ly/thingswedoforlove

"I still keep in touch with the Bandstand family. I guess I talk to most of them. When I talk about Sandy Scott, Little Pattie and Judy Stone and Brian Henderson , I speak to them probably once or twice a week. It's still a family. That family thing is still there. The entertainment industry is a very strange fraternity. Even though a lot of times you don't see a lot of people for maybe 12 months, I have a group of people that are very close friends".

Happy Jan 1 2024! I suppose like most people I have promised myself some self control and purpose, and therefore, I have changed direction of my art. I hope you like it: My latest piece of art takes a departure from the ordinary, offering a surreal landscape that turns our gaze upward as Earth rises against an imaginary backdrop. Amidst this cosmic scene, abstract bird shapes navigate an otherworldly landscape, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. In this latest creation, I aim to take viewers on a visual journey that challenges preconceived notions of reality. Earth's ascent, accompanied by abstract bird shapes in an imaginary landscape, serves as an exploration into the uncharted territories of artistic expression. This piece is an invitation to contemplate the interconnectedness of the tangible and the intangible, encouraging a deeper dive into the boundless realms of imagination.
