Katrin,
I am sorry but I disagree with you 100%. "Be advise" has absolutely no place in the English language, either written or spoken.
Write down a sentence using "be advised" and then write the same phrase without "be advised." Does the meaning of the statement change at all?
"Airport Command to Engine-7:" "Be advised that the emergency aircraft is next to land."
"Airport Command to Engine-7:" "Engine-7, the emergency aircraft is the next to land."
Please be advised....
