Click HERE for more photos of Shania Twain from the 2011 JUNO Awards.
The following article excerpt mentions Shania's induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame :
The Junos also got a jolt of star-power with the induction of Shania Twain into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. The Timmins, Ont., songstress was introduced by Canuck rocker Bryan Adams, who called her a “Canadian treasure.”
“Thank you so much,” said Twain, clad in a sparkling sleeveless gown. “I really am turning into such a sap. But this is just a very beautiful moment for me. I am, I'm really so proud of Canada's talent. I sit here tonight in the audience, and I watch these amazing artists up here on the stage, world-class talent, songwriters, singers, performers — we should be proud of these people. They're just blowing me away.
“I guess, I have more pride in what the country has created musically than I am even of my own success. Honestly, I'm just more proud to be from Canada, and to be part of everything that's happening here musically.
“This is a beautiful country. ... I feel like I should just be wearing the Canadian flag tonight to be honest with you. I would love that.”

I just love this woman. She's definitely a Canadian treasure and she looks absolutely stunning.

By: Victoria Ahearn, The Canadian Press Posted: 03/27/2011 10:14 PM | Comments: 0 TORONTO - Canadian country-pop darling Shania Twain is recording a new album and preparing to return to the stage. The superstar singer from Timmins, Ont., made the revelation backstage at Sunday's Juno Awards, where she was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. "I'm not really sure when I'll be able to get back up on that stage. I am preparing for it, I can tell you that, and I am already in the studio with new music and I'm very excited," she told reporters after a tearful speech onstage at the Air Canada Centre. Twain added that fans will be able to hear her new music "soon," and that she's documented some of her songwriting process in an upcoming documentary-style TV series about her life. Set to debut May 27 on the OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network in Canada, "Why Not? with Shania Twain" follows the chart-topper as she rediscovers herself after divorce and a break from recording. Her journey includes a trip to her birthplace of Timmins with her sister, Carrie Ann, and a travelling adventure with her bandmates and closest confidantes. "I actually created the concept myself," said the five-time Grammy winner, who also has an autobiography due out this spring. "I actually went to (Winfrey), to be honest, initially, and said, 'What do you think of this idea that I have?' She loved it, and that was the end — that was the end of the beginning, I suppose." Canuck rocker Bryan Adams introduced Twain during Sunday's Juno bash, calling her a "Canadian Treasure." In a video tribute, several music giants — including Kenny Rogers and Anne Murray — also sang her praises, and the crowd went wild as she walked onstage. Backstage, Twain was humble and nearly speechless when she reflected on the accolades. "I don't feel iconic, no, I can tell you that. I don't feel that way at all. I feel like a small-town girl from Timmins. That has never changed and it never will," she said, looking typically radiant in a long, flowing gown of black and white sequins with her long hair up in a ponytail. "I was overwhelmed by the support. I feel wonderful in Canada. The people have never let me down, the fans have always been amazing and I just love this place, what can I say? I'm just at home here." This year marked the 40th anniversary of the Junos, which Twain said she's watched since she was young. "I was in awe of our Canadian awards show, I was in awe of our Canadian stars," said Twain, 45, who married businessman Frederic Thiebaud New Year's Day in Puerto Rico. "And when I won my first Juno, that was it — I'd made it." Source

This is such awesome news! I wonder if she will be going more country this time around? I have a feeling we'll get a new album sometime next year.
Once we get some more news, should we start a new thread?

Posted Mar 28th 2011 4:30PM by Joshua OstroffIt was hardly surprising that country music mega-star Shania Twain was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at Sunday night's 40th annual Juno Awards in Toronto, but who would have guessed she'd get Twitter all a-titter when she proclaimed her affection for her Canadian homeland by saying, "I love our bush!" Backstage after accepting her award from friend Bryan Adams, the classy star in her sequined gown ignored the assembled reporters' double entendres about her trending quip. "What do you call it? A forest? C'mon, I'm from Northern Ontario. It's called the bush in Ontario. Somebody back me up here!" Shania also ducked questions about when exactly she would return to the stage to do more than say thank you, though we will apparently be hearing new music sooner than later. "I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back up on that stage," she admitted. "I'm preparing for it. I'm already in the studio working. You're going to hear new music soon. I'm not sure how much I can tell, but I documented some of my songwriting process and I'll share that on the [TV] series. When that will become an album? It's all happening as we speak." Shania, who attended the awards show with new hubby Frederic Thiébaud, was particularly talkative about her upcoming TV show, 'Why Not? With Shania Twain' on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network. "I actually created the concept myself," she said proudly. "It's not a reality show, it's a documentary type thing about an isolated experience in my life documented in real time. I actually went to Oprah, to be honest, and asked, 'What do you think of this idea that I have?' She loved it and that was the end." As for the whole experience of becoming a Canadian Hall of Famer, Shania said she feels overwhelmed by all the support. "I feel wonderful in Canada, the people have never let me down; the fans have been amazing. I just love this place. I'm at home here, and this is a really big moment. It feels really genuine in every way," she said, though she demurred when asked about being an icon. "I don't feel iconic, I feel like a small town girl from Timmins -- that has never changed and it never will. I'm 45 years old and I started there and ended here, and that's who I am. I'm flattered, but I can't say I feel it myself." The Boot

It was great seeing Shania get inducted to the Hall of Fame last night. What a class act. Her presence has really been missed in the Canadian music scene. I'm still not overly confident that we'll have an album this year, but the OWN show and the autobiography should at least raise her public profile.

www.theprovince.com/entertainment/Dish+Shania+stalker+arrested/4522181/story.htmlShania Twain's stalker was arrested at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Sunday, just before the singer was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, according to reports. Dr. Giovanni Palumbo, 50, appeared in court in Toronto on Monday, where he was again ordered to "stay away" from the singer. The Ottawa doctor, who had stalking charges against him withdrawn earlier this month, was arrested on breaches of court orders, according to reports. Palumbo argued that he "just wanted to meet" the singer. The court had strictly stated that he is not allowed within 500 metres of Twain and is now likely to face a heavy penalty. Previously, the court had heard how Palumbo had sent letters and flowers to Twain and is alleged to have shown up at her Muskoka cottage. Quoting a psychiatric report, the Ottawa Citizen reported recently that Palumbo believed that, if he and Twain met, "a romantic relationship would be almost certain to develop." The Citizen also reported that, according to a psychiatric report filed as part of his divorce case, Palumbo is alleged to have sent eight letters to Twain that declared "Palumbo's love for her" and asked her to meet him. Shania Twain, best known for her smash hit songs That Don't Impress Me Much and Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under, received her Canadian Hall of Fame achievement trophy from fellow singer Bryan Adams at Sunday's Junos.

New song information! ''TODAY (IS YOUR DAY)''Sure, Shania Twain is a superstar. But she's also a something of a super survivor -- of domestic violence, extreme poverty, the tragic death of her parents and the collapse of her marriage. At 44, her life has gone through more crisis than most people will face in a lifetime. And yet, Twain has come out on the other side and wants to find ways to help others. So this Shaniatherapy (I made up that description) she's offering during her new TV series, Why Not? With Shania Twain, seems to be a very solid way to heal. After opening up about her own troubles and struggles, with shocking details about her childhood in Ontario, and playing some music in a bluegrass song circle, Twain heads out to visit families who have faced the same tragedies she has faced. In the first episode, which airs May 8 on OWN, she brings dinner and a shoulder to cry on to a young family who lost both their parents. What I see when I watch this show, beyond the therapy and the revelations, is that Twain is just like the rest of us. She's every bit as fragile as she is strong. She cries as much as she laughs. She has an ugly past that is kind of her broken road to a shiny future. She's normal. Except, you know, she has a voice like an angel. And you can hear a little bit of that when she starts rehearsing a new song, "Today (Is Your Day)," and when she admits, "I cannot live without singing." www.cmt.com/news/cmt-offstage/1662860/offstage-shaniatherapy-why-not.jhtmlIM READY IM REAADY!

Believe it or not I just discovered the blue disc of Up! It's incredible and I love the Indian and Caribbean influences.
I also hope that she slays when she puts out new music. She is incredibly talented and a truly good person. Put Taylor to shame Shania!

As part of Shania Twain's TV promotional tour, Shania will be on "Oprah" tomorrow - Tuesday, May 3, 2011. A Shania Twain fan was apparently in the audience when the show was taped last week. The fan's account of Shania's "Oprah" appearance is located HERE on the Shania Twain Forums. The following are details from the "Oprah" interview that were reported by the fan in the audience: - Shania said she does want to sing again. - Shania's childhood and Mutt's affair were the most discussed topics. - Mutt was asked by the Oprah show to comment on the affair and he declined. Shania then supposedly said something about how she didn't want to bring him into the spotlight, but he kind of did it to himself. - Shania's sister, Carrie, and Shania's new husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, were both in the audience. - Courtesy of Oprah/Shania, everyone in the audience will be sent to Nashville for 2 days for brunch with Shania. They will be staying at the Opryland hotel in Nashville. Source: The Shania Twain Forums
More details and specific excerpts from Shania's autobiography - "From This Moment On" - have leaked. Here is an article + links to other articles with details from Shania's autobiography: Shania Twain on ex's affair: Accidents happenIt may seem hard to believe, but Shania Twain was able to forgive her ex-husband and best friend for their affair. "Despite everything, I still loved my husband," the superstar singer says in her new memoir. "And I still loved my friend. I put myself in their shoes with the understanding that accidents happen, we're all human, and we all make mistakes....Eventually, I came to the point of accepting the end of my marriage." Excerpts from Twain's new book, titled "From This Moment On," were published on Parade.com and give some insight into the dark days of the breakup of her marriage to famed producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange and her past as a witness of domestic violence.Discovering that her husband of 14 years and the father of her son had an affair with her best friend Marie-Anne was "the most shocking and painful truth of my life since the death of my parents twenty years earlier," Twain says. "For the first week after finding out about the affair, I was ready to die–to go to bed forever and never wake up," the singer writes. "Or to hurt someone. I was ready to do something desperate, but in reality, there was nothing to do but to suffer through it. Fortunately, when you're a mom, the responsibility of caring for your child can keep you going." Now happily married to Marie-Anne's ex-husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, Twain reveals she grew up watching her stepfather physically abuse her mother. "Jerry had her on the bathroom floor by the toilet, and, grabbing her hair, he slammed her head against the side of the basin, knocking her out cold," Twain says in her book. "I could see Jerry repeatedly plunge my mother's head into the toilet bowl, then pull it out again." "I remember wondering, 'Why is he trying to drown her when she's already dead?' I wanted to scream, 'Stop, you already killed her!' I wanted to stop him, but I was too afraid...The enormity of that helplessness transferred to me, and I felt as limp as she was."

Shania, please come back.
Her interview, which aired on "Oprah" today, was excellent. I loved how open she was, and I loved seeing her surprise that fan singing karaoke.
