So, I guess "they" were right. "You're Still The One" loses some impact now.
It will be interesting to see if her new album has more personal stuff.

Shania Twain Arrives in New York with Surprising CompanionBy Julie Dam and Anne Marie Cruz Originally posted Friday December 05, 2008 12:45 PM EST Shania Twain and Thiébaud at JFK on Dec. 4, 2008Photo by: FlynetThree weeks after getting a standing ovation for her surprise appearance at the CMA Awards, Shania Twain turned up in Manhattan Thursday with a number of friends from Switzerland, Nashville and Virginia for a weekend of Christmas shopping. Among her group of pals? Frederic Thiébaud, the ex-husband of Twain's former best friend who sources say broke up the country star's marriage to Robert "Mutt" Lange. Twain and Thiébaud were photographed arriving from Switzerland at JFK airport together. Back in May, Twain, 43, split from her producer husband Lange, 60. Though Lange denied having an affair to PEOPLE, sources close to the situation told PEOPLE that he was involved with Marie-Anne Thiébaud, a close friend and manager of the couple's chateau in Switzerland. The two couples had socialized together for years. Twain – who has been staying strong after the split – came to New York City to "hang and shop," says a source close to her. Among her group of pals is Thiébaud, whom the singer has considered a friend since the days when their families were close. Adds the source: "She loves NYC during the holidays."

SHANIA TWAIN - TWAIN'S ESTRANGED HUSBAND APPROVES HER NEW ROMANCECaption: Shania Twain 42nd Annual ACM Awards at MGM Grand Hotel Casino Las Vegas, NevadaCountry singer SHANIA TWAIN's estranged husband has given his blessing to her rumoured new romance with his alleged mistress' ex. Twain split from husband Robert 'Mutt' Lange in May (08), after discovering he was romancing the couple's longtime secretary Marie-Anne Thiebaud, the manager of their Swiss estate. Thiebaud's husband, Frederick, joined the country star for a trip to New York last week (04Dec08), sparking reports the two hurt exes have formed a special friendship. And Lange insists he's not bothered by reports of their alleged romance. When asked if he was upset to see his Twain stepping out with his love rival he tells the National Enquirer, "Not at all. He's a great guy. I have no idea that is even the case. They are very good friends anyway. "I wouldn't mind if it was the case they were dating, not at all." Adding of his plans to marry Marie-Anne, Lange adds, "It isn't even that. The whole story was just a story as we are just friends in the same way Shania and Fred are. "Shania didn't name Marie-Anne as the third party in the divorce. She did not." Source: Contact MusicSource: Google

The following new message was posted yesterday (Friday, June 12, 2009) on the Official Shania Twain Site. It is a long message from Shania. Here it is: Dear Friends, I am so excited to be writing to you personally again after so long. First I want to apologize for the delay in releasing new music. Music is the basis of our relationship, after all, and I realize I'm not holding up very well on my end of the relationship! But music has a mind of it's own, and is ruled by a writer's emotions and state of mind, not by a time frame or wishful thinking. I wish like crazy that I had new music by now since I dream of how fun it would be to see you all again out on tour with new songs to sing, but as most of you know, I have been side-tracked slightly over this past year. The personal issues that took place just over a year ago have been well documented, and there’s no need to go into more detail here. Since then, I've been inspired by my pain to write and use writing as a therapy through the suffering. I truly wouldn't wish this on anybody as a means to get inspired, but it's been a productive period with so much emotion trying to find it's way out. However, there is no telling how long it will take me to actually finish these songs and record them so they can get out to you. As many things as there have been to write about through this difficult time in my life, healing is serious business and has taken a lot of the wind out of my sails, slowing me down at times. As you know, I am a mom and all my energy goes to making sure my little man is healthy and happy in every way. This is a full time job, as any parent understands, but especially difficult when you are battling your own personal crisis at the same time while trying to spare your child of being affected by your own suffering. One time when I was having a weak moment listening to some sad music and sobbing and slobbering over my computer’s keyboard, Eja walked up behind me and asked me why I was crying. He wasn't sad at first--just totally surprised to see his mom crying (he is seven and never saw me cry before), and didn't know what to make of it. During this intense period, I was managing to hide my devastation from Eja and cried only when I was alone; but this one time was just too hard for me to control and I broke down. I was quick on my feet to answer him though and told Eja that music was very powerful and can make people quite emotional. It can make you want to dance, feel angry, happy or sad and that THIS this song was sad and made me cry. He accepted this, hugged me and went back to what he was doing. Phew, that was tough! The energy it has taken me to deal with my personal life and managing to still be a responsible parent has been challenging, and while I have been putting what energy I have left at the end of each day into my writing, it's been hard to put it all together into song format. Please be patient and I will do my best to continue working on a finished album! Each morning I put my son on the school bus, feed our two dogs Sony and Dolly, drink my orange juice and sit down at the computer to write. I spend most of my time working with lyrics right now, sorting thoughts, expressions and concepts. It often comes out in the form of poetry, diary notes or e-mails to friends. My friends are great listeners and are very patient and generous about it. I often go back to my e-mails for song ideas. When I write in letter form, I don't hold back. I just write it as it comes without considering format, topic, manners, etc. Some of my best songwriting ideas are coming this way. Time has a way of making everything right, and it is my hope that good music will eventually come out of it. I say "good music” since I don't want to just throw anything at you, just for the sake of hurrying up to get it out. I want my new music to be something I'm personally satisfied with and proud to share with you. I have friends and family around constantly coaxing me to focus on my music. "Your fans miss you. They want new music. It's been too long." They're all dying for something new too, so they are pretty relentless about it! I know you certainly all do deserve new music and tour dates; not only because it's been so long, but also because of the HUGE support you've all given me during this period. The many blogs and e-mails have warmed my heart, strengthened my confidence, given me courage, and have often even made me laugh out loud…in a good way! I know I am not alone and realize through your support that you are all routing for Eja and I, and our well-being. Thank you! The other day I started writing a few pages about being hungry as a kid. Some of it was painful to think about but it also made me laugh at the funny times. Reflecting on that period of my life, I realize how true it really is to learn to take the good with the bad. To appreciate that you can't have one without the other. The trick is to give the "good" at least as much of your energy as the "bad" and not to get stuck focussing more on the "bad". I decided to start writing about other stages of my life to help take my focus off the current phase I'm going through. When I'm feeling down, I figured changing my focus to write about other periods of my PAST would help pull me out of the sadness and on to new chapters in my life. It works. I will sign off now but I look forward to my next letter/blog to you. I just wanted to fill you in a bit on what's going on with me and music, as well as extend my thanks for all of the support that you have given me over this last year and for all these years; and to assure you that I'm fine and managing very well, in fact. I'm enjoying my child, friends and family like I haven't in years, and it's great. I've been experiencing and seeing new things every day, living life with a different and more optimistic attitude. I've jumped out of an airplane at 10,000 feet, I'm riding Spanish and Arabian horses, traveling to exotic places, I've been deep sea diving for the first time! I pull the odd all-nighter, read more books, listen to Eja's favourite music with him, LOUD [ironically his favourite band is ACDC] and basically I'm enjoying life. Till next time, my friends. Be well, and peace and happiness to all of you. Love, Shania Official Site: A Personal Message from Shania Twain

I really love Shania and I have always been one of the biggest fans but I am fed up with having to wait for a project that will never come. Sadly, I have come to accept the fact that she cannot release music without the help of Mutt and I hate to reinforce this opinion but I am starting to believe that she is almost worthless without him. Its really unfortunate because I do believe they should put their personal feelings aside for the sake of the music because they make a great team but I think this will be a project that forever hangs in limbo and I'm tired of waiting. Goodbye Shania, thanks for all the great years.

^A tad dramatic? :)
Will be interesting to see what she can do without Lange. Wasn't her first album without him?

Its best known song was What Made You Said That, the video is sexy [/quote] Ironically, Mutt contacted Shania after seeing that video. She thought it was a joke. Shania and Mutt definitely had music magic. However, she is a strong writer, so we'll see. The may work in her favor -- probably time for a change in direction. What was fresh in 1995-1999, grew a bit stale in during the Up! era.

Today (August 28) is Shania Twain's 44th birthday and she has revealed her promised surprise for the fans. There is a new letter and video posted on her official site. Click HERE to see the Video and the Letter.Here is the entire letter: A NOTE FROM SHANIA Hello everyone, Thought I would drop a line to catch you up on things in my life and what better time than on my birthday. I feel very much alive and well, ready to take on the gift of another year. I've been on a few interesting trips, reading some helpful and motivating books, meeting fascinating people and getting the most out of life that I possibly can. Living, loving, laughing and dreaming have become highest on my list of priorities. I'm looking for places to be and things to do that inspire me to write and be creative, concentrating on moving on and forward. When I wake up each day I remind myself how lucky I am to have all the beautiful things I do in my life and allow that gratitude to fuel me for the day, taking one day at a time. I try not to worry about tomorrow since I realize I can't control what it will bring or whether tomorrow will even come. So, I focus on today and treat every minute with the respect it deserves and not take it for granted. I steer my energies toward being productive and finding motivation from every person, place and thing I encounter. Traveling has helped a great deal. I consider myself on a journey of discovery and recovery. I don't accept to be held down by the past, nor do I expect too much of the future. This allows me to dream freely with no strings attached. I recently read something very encouraging to someone like myself, who lives and loves to dream: "PLANS HAVE TO BE REALISTIC, DREAMS DON'T." Of course, I love this notion and allow myself to dream positive things and plan to live them out. I make a point of surrounding myself with fun, positive, compassionate, loving people. Loved ones I can trust. After all, good company brings good feelings and feeling good just makes life more pleasant. The love and understanding of my friends and family have pulled me through the recent difficult time. It's as if several hands grabbed me by the scruff of the neck during my lowest moment and promised not to let go till I was safe. They kept their promise, and I want to thank them, my lifesavers. So, thank you my dear friends and family. Thank you to the fans as well for your words of comfort and encouragement. All this has given me enormous strength. A dear friend and true gentleman by the name of Fred, has been the most constant companion of support for both Eja and me, and having gone through the suffering of his family splitting apart at the same time under the same extreme circumstances, he understood me better than anyone. We leaned on one another through the ups and downs, taking turns holding each other up. We've become stronger and closer through it all, as have our children Eja and Johanna (Fred's 8 year old daughter). "The kids" came along on several of the trips you'll see in the montage. My mother often called me her little Gypsy so it's no surprise that travel is working for me in finding inspiration through seeing new and fascinating things. I'm putting that inspiration in to writing and more dreaming. The best part about my dreams lately, is that not only am I allowing myself to dream, I set those dreams into action and live them out. Fred filmed and snapped away during the travel adventures of the last six months, capturing the dreams becoming reality. The home footage is full of happy faces, beautiful, interesting places and lots of horses. Yeah! When I reflect on it all, it's clear how remarkably active my life has been since last December - a time in the life of someone working hard to "move on" and succeeding. Life has been gracious to me and the images show that very clearly. Why I decided to share this personal side of my life with you at this point is to answer the questions I get asked so often lately: "how are you, where have you been and what have you been doing?" A big part of the answer is in the montage. I'm "okay" - yes, I hit a very big bump in the road, but Eja and I are doing well and with all the concern you, my fans, have shown over this difficult period, I want you to see for yourself that we are doing fine, by sharing these personal images with you. Sorry about the poor quality of the footage but almost all of what you will see, both photos and video, were shot on Fred's cell phone with the exception of the skydive filmed from a tiny, wrist camera worn by the guide. Although the images weren't originally filmed with the intention of sharing them publicly, in the end I decided it was more fun to share them. We weren't paying attention to quality, all of it being done on the fly, so I've included text in various places to help explain and make things easier to follow. Once again, it's all very candid footage so be ready to see a lot of me without makeup, no touch ups, some bad hair and looking pretty goofy. There is no glamour but plenty of genuine smiles. Fred and I have certainly had a lot of laughs through the months and while sharing these images with a good friend of mine after each trip, she now affectionately refers to us as, "Lucy and Ricky Ricardo". Hope you enjoy! Love, Shania

So this thread got bumped because Shania Twain & Mutt ar getting back together? or are they still divorced? This thread got "bumped" because, as stated above, this thread is to not be used for "NEW Music" discussions...only divorce items. The letter I posted fits that criteria.

If it is a new man, I suppose it's just showing that she's been able to move on from the divorce by finding solace and comfort with a guy who experienced the same thing. If it were Mutt, it would be a rather bizarre way to describe him- like, no kidding he went through the same thing you did, at exactly the same time.

He was married to Shania's now ex-best friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud. (Marie-Anne is Shania's 'friend' who is reported to have had an affair with Shania's husband Mutt.) Frederic (aka "Fred") is the guy mentioned by Shania in the letter above, he's also in the Video on Shania's official site, and he's in the photos in the "Shania Twain Birthday" photo gallery (8-28-2009) that features photos from that video.
