Paparazzi on Shania! An article on countrystars.com states that Shania is prisoner of the paparazzi: "From the moment Shania learned that she was pregnant, she made the decision to keep the blessed experience and event as private as   possible. But, from the moment her pregnancy was made public, her Swiss home has been staked out by hordes of paparazzi hoping to grab pictures of her as an expectant mother. Shania managed to slip out just once to do some shopping, only to be spotted and "paparazzied." Shania was not happy and hasn't ventured out since. These days she's content to stay self-sequestered to enjoy the experience of motherhood while keeping it as private and personal as possible. The reason Shania is such a prime target for a paparazzo's lens, is the incredible magnitude of her accomplishments. Her worldwide album sales have swollen to over 50-million units (36 million copies of COME ON OVER alone), she grossed over $119 million dollars on tour and her deal with Revlon and has earned her $4.5 million."

Shania tried to chew Tobacco! According to an article on a music site, "TOBY SHOWS SHANIA HOW TO CHEW TOBACCO. It happened years ago when TOBY KEITH and SHANIA TWAIN were touring together. Shania became fascinated with Toby's chewing tobacco. She convinced him to let her try some just as her manager appeared. The manager went ballistic and yelled at the future superstar: "You can't be out here trying to be a star and doing that!" That apparently occurred back in 1993 BEFORE Shania met Mutt.

Shania Community Baby Shower! According to an article at the Timmins Daily Press website, the city of Timmins is organizing interesting activities to celebrate the opening of the Shania Centre. How about a Shania Baby Shower? "We're working on some really bizarre stuff, said Damini with a laugh. There's a baby stroller obstacle course race, contests in lullaby singing, pablum eating and the highlight, the messy diaper toss. It's zany, but its respectful of Shania in supporting her favourite charity, feeding needy children." Click HERE to read the full article! (Thanks Rocco, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !) 

Center Press Release....taped message of Shania?!

"If that's the case, then the people who take the tour of the centre will see the message."

Timmins' Centre to Show The Timmins Girl. The Timmins Daily Press website has posted an article on the latest news regarding the Centre tickets for the opening weekend and what the Centre will be for the city of Timmins. The emphasis, as presented by the Centre Director Will Saari, and the Mayor of Timmins Jamie Lim, is on introducing the fans to the community and the people of Timmins, the culture and the values of a city Shania well represents: "Canada's newest and most promising international attraction will soon be open and the world will be coming to Timmins, she added. On June 30, many of Shania's fans from throughout the world will descend on Timmins to get a taste of why Shania is so proud of her home town. Lim said the new centre will provide some insight into our community, our roots and our cultural diversity. The music-related exhibits and interactive displays will allow visitors to experience how music is recorded. I also hope that while viewing the memorabilia exhibits and displays for the first time, our youth will be inspired and that they will take the time to dream the dream the same dream that a young Eileen Twain had several years ago."

Open Letter From Will Saari, Director Shania Twain Centre-Timmins! We are happy to post an open message to all Shania Twain fans from Mr. Will Saari: 
"Hello All 
The Shania Twain Centre is coming along very well and the building is starting to look very impressive, especially with the granite walls going up and exhibits starting to go in next week. I must say, though, that I am somewhat disheartened by the recent postings on on-line auctions like e-bay of some of our promotional materials like the Shania-Time buttons and our brochures being offered for exhorbitant prices when these items are easily available at cost, or even free. 
The Shania-Time button initiative was undertaken by the Timmins Chamber of Commerce as a way of promoting all of the various activities taking place in Timmins this summer. These buttons are available from the Chamber at $2 CDN each and yet are selling on-line for up to $20 US....sickening. 
The Shania Twain Centre brochures are also apparently selling on-line and yet are available free to anyone who requests one from us at info@shaniatwaincentre.com 
 and we will mail it to you at no charge. I guess we can't stop anyone as a private individual who wishes to take advantage of all the Shania fans out there, but it personally makes me sick that someone would stoop so low as to sell something that is available free, especially since it seems that some of this stuff is coming from someone in Timmins. I want everyone to know that this is an isolated situation, and I hope that it is realized that this type of behaviour is the exception in Timmins and 
 not the norm. 
Anyway, thanks for the chance to vent, and I want you to know that the Centre is 
 coming along well and we are looking forward to seeing everyone in Timmins on June 30th. 
Thanks 
Will Saari 
Site Manager Shania Twain Centre."

Shania Centre Attracts Politicians As Well! According to an article posted at the Timmins Daily Press website, the Shania Centre has dazzled a Cabinet Minister! Here are the details: " The minister of Northern Development and Mines Dan Newman put on his tourist cap, and a hard hat too, while visiting Timmins Thursday. Newman toured the Shania Twain Centre, which is still under construction, before heading to a Progressive Conservative fund-raising dinner. The centre was Newman's first stop after getting off the airplane. He liked what he saw. I'm absolutely impressed, he said. It's fabulous. The people of Timmins and area should be very proud. Newman liked some parts of the centre more than others. I like the interpretive component, he said. I know my children would look forward to something like that."

Shania and 2001 ASCAP Awards. The Winners of the 2001 ASCAP POP Awards have been announced. (The awards only go to the Songwriters...Not the artists!!) As you probably know, Shania does NOT qualify for ASCAP awards because she's registered as a BMI Songwriter/artist!! MUTT, on the other hand, IS a registered ASCAP Songwriter & he Does qualify for ASCAP awards! Despite Shania being out of the spotlight all year, 2 of her songs got significant enough airplay to warrant Awards for being on the Most Performed list for the Most Performed Songs of the Year! The songs that made the list are: 
1) Man I Feel Like A Woman, Shania Twain
 W: Robert John "Mutt" Lange (PRS), Shania Twain*

 W: Robert John "Mutt" Lange (PRS), Shania Twain*

Shania and Bulgaria. There is an online article that talks about a Bulgarian exchange student who was sent to Tennessee and said that the ONLY things he knew about Tennessee were "Shania Twain & Jack Daniels"! "4.0 student: Franklin mirrors his Bulgarian village. By MELONEE McKINNEY Staff Writer. 
FRANKLIN — Bulgarian exchange student Delyan Dimitrov knew he wanted to study in America for the experience and to improve his conversational English. When he talked with the Face the World organization, a foreign exchange student service, he said he wanted to live in New York or New Jersey. They placed him in Franklin. ''They placed me in Nashville, which was OK,'' Dimitrov said. ''The only things I knew of Tennessee were Shania Twain and Jack Daniels. But once I got here I couldn't believe how much the area here looked like our village. I am accustomed to a more urban environment, so it took a little getting used to, but I like it.''

Shania Fans Buying Tickets to Shania Centre! According to an article posted on the Timmins Daily Press website, Shania Fans have picked up the phones and made their reservations for their tour tickets to the Shania Twain Centre the weekend of the opening. "Phone rings off the hook for Shania tickets. There were no line-ups Tuesday, but the phone was ringing off the hook for tickets to the opening weekend of the Shania Twain Centre in Timmins. About 100 people bought 350 tickets to the centre, dedicated to the Timmins-born country superstar, which is set to open its doors June 30. The City of Timmins tourism and attractions manager said ticket orders were brisk, especially over the phone on the first day of sales. The calls have been coming in non-stop, Will Saari said, adding Timmins hotels have also sold a number of room and tickets packages. Saari said he had not anticipated a major rush for tickets since it had been well advertised the 3,750 tickets available would be on sale for two weeks."

SHeDAISY Follow Shania. Acccording to countrystars.com Nashville Update , SHeDAISY are following Shania's lead: "SHeDAISY WORKING ON REMIX ALBUM. SHeDAISY is currently working on re-mixes of the songs on their debut album THE WHOLE SHeBANG. Each song will be done in somewhat different styles. The vocals will remain the same, but the tracks will be re-mixed to be more acoustic in some cases, or styles ranging from pop to practically bluegrass in flavor. The reason for doing so stems from the fact that their new album won't appear until April of next year. So, the idea is to extend the life of the debut album that has been on the market for over 100 weeks. They want to reach out to their core fans and the segment of record buyers who collect remix versions. Since the sequence and vocals remain the same, the sales of the remix version will count in the total sales of THE WHOLE SHeBANG, just as Shania's pop remix version of COME ON OVER added to that mega album's total. Look for SHeDAISY's remix album to appear in stores in September." (Thanks Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Timmins' Centre to Show The Timmins Girl. The Timmins Daily Press website has posted an article on the latest news regarding the Centre tickets for the opening weekend and what the Centre will be for the city of Timmins. The emphasis, as presented by the Centre Director Will Saari, and the Mayor of Timmins Jamie Lim, is on introducing the fans to the community and the people of Timmins, the culture and the values of a city Shania well represents: "Canada's newest and most promising international attraction will soon be open and the world will be coming to Timmins, she added. On June 30, many of Shania's fans from throughout the world will descend on Timmins to get a taste of why Shania is so proud of her home town. Lim said the new centre will provide some insight into our community, our roots and our cultural diversity. The music-related exhibits and interactive displays will allow visitors to experience how music is recorded. I also hope that while viewing the memorabilia exhibits and displays for the first time, our youth will be inspired and that they will take the time to dream the dream the same dream that a young Eileen Twain had several years ago."
