Carolyn Dawn Johnson like Shania? An article on Canada.com reports an interview with Carolyn Dawn Johnson, the new singing and songwriting success in Canadian country, and compares her with Shania: ""It's easy to compare me to Shania because we're both Canadians and we're both females and we're both singer-songwriters, but that's about as far as it goes," says Johnson, who was born in Deadwood, Alta.  "I'm proud that they're comparing me because I honestly think she's done something wonderful by just being who she is." "The scariest thing about it is having so much to live up to. I don't think anybody ever expected Shania to sell that many records and I don't think anyone will sell as many in a long, long time. That was just an unbelievable thing, and I'm not going to pass that. It's amazing they put me in that category because I don't even think I'm remotely there." To read the full article, click HERE !

Shania in Countrystars. TThe Q&A section of countrystars.com has a question on Shania: 
"Q: How much of a risk do you think Shania Twain is taking by being out of the spotlight for so long? What are her chances of surpassing the success of Come On Over? Any news on the album? How are she and Eja doing? (Marcia, NC) 
A: Any singer who stays out of the public eye for any length of time risks the erosion of some of their fan base. And, Shania would've had a new album this year (it had been scheduled in August) if baby Eja hadn't come into her life. He's doing fine by the way. In Shania's case, once she releases the new album next year, if it is as good as the word from her camp says it is, she will likely have another big hit album on her hands. The sense is that her fans are being patient, and it is entirely possible that she could equal or surpass the success of Come on Over. Remember, people doubted that Come On Over would be as successful as The Woman in Me CD, so nobody is betting against the success of her new one." (Thanks Talkalot24, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Shania's Privacy Violated Again! It seems that once again a gossip magazine has published photos of Shania and her baby clearly taken without her permission. It is for all Shania fans a very sad situation since this time this type of publication has printed photos of a mother and her baby enjoying their time together. I have already expressed my position in the past, and I again find myself very disturbed by these magazines invading Shania's privacy. Hopefully Shania's family life will be respected in the future more than it has been in the recent past. FV 
 

Happy and Safe Labour Day

Shania's Europe Sales Compared to The BEATLES! As you know, Shania's "Come On Over" album hit the 7 MILLION mark in EUROPE in January of This year. Well, I just found an article that gives a little More detail about what an Accomplishment hitting 7 Million was. In fact, the article puts Shania's Europe Sales in the SAME league as The BEATLES!! HERE's what is said about Shania's sales & the Beatles sales: "January 2001 - Platinum Europe Awards February 6, 2001. January's seven Platinum winners include four albums that are newly awarded and three recordings that achieved double or multi-Platinum status. In the latter category, Shania Twain Come On Over reached the seven million mark in Europe - a level achieved or surpassed by only three other artists since awards began in 1996. In fact, over the past two years only The Beatles "1" has matched those heights." Click HERE to read the full article!

"The Centre Shania Twain Centre is pleased to announce “Shania’s Birthday Party” to be held August 28th, 2001 on the site of the Shania Twain Centre. 
Organized in conjunction with the Shania Time Committee, a subcommittee of the Timmins Chamber of Commerce, Shania’s Birthday Party will give local residents an opportunity to come out and enjoy free birthday cake, sign the gigantic Birthday card and take part in singing Happy Birthday to Shania. The song will be professionally videotaped and a copy will be sent to Shania so that she can enjoy a Birthday gift from her fans and supporters. During the festivities tours of the Shania Twain exhibit will be available at a special flat rate of $5 with children age 6 and under free when accompanied by an adult. 
Organizers of the event are also very pleased to have the opportunity to highlight some new and improved exhibits at the Shania Twain Centre including Shania’s Wedding Dress, a 3 metre tall Electronic Pipe Organ and an exhibit that highlights the Grand Opening of the Centre as well as a congratulatory letter received from Shania. In this letter, Shania thanks all of her fans and the City of Timmins for bringing the Centre to life and she also states that she is looking forward to her first visit to the Centre. 
It is the hope of the organizers that there will be a large crowd in attendance for the singing of Happy Birthday outside the Centre in the parking lot, therefore free bus transportation to the site will be provided from the Tele-Tech Call Centre parking lot starting at 5:00 P.M. as there will not be on-site parking available. Alternatively, a pleasant walk that takes approximately 8 to 10 minutes from the downtown core and Timmins Transit main bus depot will bring visitors to the Centre. 
Festivities are scheduled to begin at 6:00 P.M. and will commence with the singing of Happy Birthday, followed by the cake cutting ceremony and the signing of the Birthday Card. The Centre will extend its operating hours that day to accommodate everyone that may wish to tour the exhibit." :)

Shania in CMT Magazine! In the new issue of CMT (Country Music Today) magazine (It features Jamie O'Neal on the cover) there are some mentions of Shania. 
1) On PAGES 20-23, there is a section devoted to Country artists who've gone to Australia and/or who've had Sales success there. The article Mainly talks about Australian sales numbers. However, the article only features Photos of Reba w/ animals in Australia. In the article, a question is asked in regard to whether or not a trip to Australia is beneficial to artists (in terms of generating popularity & sales). Well, Shania's sales are used as an example to Prove that it IS worthwhile to make the trip. HERE's what's said about Shania's sales: "Aside from a good time---a certainty when you're surrounded by fun-loving Aussies---is an Australian trip a good career move? Just ask Shania Twain, whose Australian sales for Come On Over have exceeded one million copies, an Australian platinum 16 times over. 
2) On PAGE 80, Shania's video for "The Woman In Me" is described in a paragraph under the Section titled "VIDEO VAULT get outta town, or, I've got vids from strange places"! (It's just a description of some videos that were shot in Foreign places.) HERE's what is said about "The Woman In Me": "And Shania Twain employs the mystery and antiquity of Egypt to great advantage in "The Woman in Me" (1995), a song that dwells on the eternal-and eternally complex-relationship between women and men. The scenes have the bleached, yellowish tint of ancient parchment, and the images of pyramids, massive columns and robed horsemen are like illustrations from an old book of fables. Moving sinuously in her gauzy, wispy veils, Shania is a temptress for the ages. At least for mine." GO OUT TO BUY YOUR OWN COPY! (Thanks Ck, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

"Q: How does Shania Twain stay so skinny like she is? (Ashley, Madison, NC) 
A: Of course, Shania Twain isn’t as skinny as usual right now because she’s expecting a baby. But, the way she normally maintains her figure is by watching her diet, which is a low-fat vegetarian. Outside of walking and riding horses Shania says she doesn’t do any heavy exercise routine to maintain her curves." (Thanks Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

People Go to See Shania Centre! According to an article at the Timmins Daily Press website, many people are still going to Timmins to visit the Shania Twain Centre, whose official opening was last June 30. "A whole lot of boots have travelled through the Shania Twain Centre since it opened about three weeks ago. There still are between 150 to 200 visitors a day, said Will Saari, tourism and attractions manager for the City of Timmins. About 2,500 people had purchased tickets to see the centre on its opening weekend, June 30 to July 2. There were visitors from the United States, as well as Australia and England, for opening weekend. The out-of-town visitors are still coming in large numbers to view the centre."

CountryStars.com Q&A on Shania. From the Countrystars.com Q&A section: 
"Q: Like millions of others, I am a huge Shania fan. However, we hear all the talk about her being a devout vegetarian, even going so far as to feed her dog no meat, yet she continues to wear many leather outfits. How does she reconcile this with her beliefs that, and I quote, "I find it strange to eat another living anything?" So are we to understand it is okay to kill animals for sexy outfits, but not for food? (Tamara, Lancaster, CA) 
A: You'll be happy to know that Shania Twain and her husband Mutt Lange are vegetarians and animal rights believers. So, whenever she seems to be wearing leather on stage or in videos, it's faux leather products like Pleather." (Thanks Ck, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !) 

Canadian Press on Shania's Letter. An online article on the canoe.com musicsite talks about Shania's letter to the centre: "It wasn't exactly a Hallmark moment, but Shania Twain has said "thank you""after all. A thank you letter from the country singing superstar has finally arrived in the city of Timmins, where the new $5 million Shania Twain Centre opened nearly three weeks ago. There was some grumbling among fans and city officials on June 30 when there was no acknowledgement at all from Twain as the centre officially opened. The letter, dated June 30, was delivered by Federal Express to Timmins City Hall this week."

New Country Music Magazine.  There were two articles mentioning Shania in the new Country Music Magazine (pg. 16/17). One of them was an article about 
Country Cool's Hazel. Apparently, she has just released a book called "Hazel's Hot Dish: Cooking With The Stars". 58 stars shared their recipes and personal experiences with Hazel in her book. Shania was one of them. The second article is about "O Brother Where Art Thou" and it mentions that Mercury's Luke Lewis passed out platinum plaques saying that it was his proudest moment.

Steve's Letter on Daily Press Website! Our Great Shania Fan Steve has sent in a letter to the Timmins Daily Press, thanking all those people in Timmins who have helped us out during our wonderful stay there. Here is an excerpt from his letter: "Shania fans say Timmins does have a heart of gold. HI, I AM a member of the Shania Twain North American Online Fan Club. As I'm sure most of you are aware, about 30 of us represented the fan club for the opening of the Shania Twain Centre. We had been planning this trip for well over a year once we became aware of the opening. As time was ticking down to June 30, we were all pretty excited about going to Timmins to see the event, and see Shania there for the dedication... We found that not only did you approve of us, but that you were very warm and friendly. Everywhere we went this is what we found. It made our trip that much better and more memorable. We especially want to thank Mayor Jamie Lim; Will Saari, Tourism Timmins; Dave McLaughlin of CKGB Radio; Corinna Wrona of MCTV News and the staff of The Daily Press. Special thanks also to Renee Ouellette of the Senator Hotel for taking care of our needs and making life easier for us during our stay. Thanks to Michele Chaput for a great tour of Timmins during our last snow-flurried day, and to anyone I may have overlooked, thanks again! Thank you people of Timmins for helping to make our stay in your city pleasant." Click HERE to read the full letter! Great word Steve! :) (Thanks Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !) 

Timmins Fan Fest a SUCCESS! From the words of Timmins MCTV Corinna Wrona, "Timmins Fan Fest was indeed a great blast!" Many Canadian country artists visited Timmins this past weekend and performed there on the same stage. "About 9- thousand people were in Hollinger Park. The weather was absolutely PERFECT. Sunny and hot. 12 Canadian performers took to the stage, all are huge on the Canadian country circuit...'tho a few aren't known in the States yet. The show opened at Noon on Saturday, with Aaron Lines. Aaron was so impressed with local singer Tracey Chamberlain...he invited her onstage to sing with him. The show continued throughout the day with great performances by Chris Cummings, Amanda Stott, Steve Fox, Diane Chase, Adam Gregory, Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo, Jamei Warren, Lace, Shillelagh and Paul Brandt taking the stage at 10:30 pm. What a great day!! From the great weather...to the great  food...to the great crowd!! Suprisingly, ALL of the artists stayed to sign autographs for the fans. Adam Gregory (the teen heartthrob) signed for three hours!!) Paul Brandt made an announcement from the stage that he'd sign for ANYONE who wanted an autograph. He was signing at the Hollinger until way past 2 o'clock in the morning." 
To learn more about the event, visit the Official Website for Timmins Fan Fest ! By the way, all the Canadian country stars got a special tour of the Shania twain Centre! :) Lucky people! :) Stay tuned for news on next year Timmins Fan Fest! A HUGE Thanks to Corrina, our Timmins Angel!

Sales Update-36 MILLION Sold WORLDWIDE! An online article at the "ACC Top 40" Music News site has announced that Shania's sales are now the highest for a female artist! "SHANIA TOP WOMAN IN WORLD OF RECORDS. She's the best-selling female music star in history. New figures show 
SHANIA TWAIN's Come On Over album has sold 36-million copies worldwide." Click HERE to read that article! (Thanks Ck, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !) 

WOS Certified 11 millions! WOS certified 11 millions on Billboard! For the last 12 months, COO is selling at approximately the same rate as WOS. Actually COO is ahead of WOS in sales for the most recent 4 consecutive weeks - that could means that COO may certify 19 millions soon - Wing's estimate on or before Christmas 2001. Has Wing ever been wrong before? LOL (Thanks Wing, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !) 

Shania Sign Vandalized at Entrance to New Centre! It is sad to report that on July 3 some individuals have vandalized the Shania Sign at the Shania Twain Centre :( We are all confident that this is the action of an isolated person who simply cannot understand the beauty of Shania's music! The city of Timmins has promptly reacted by cleaning the sign. Thanks Timmins! From the Timmins Daily Press website: "Less than a week into business, the Shania Twain Centre has been the target of vandalism. Early Tuesday morning, someone spray painted an obscenity on the centres sign located on Park Road. Even vandals, however, could not dampen the upbeat spirit of officials connected with the $11-million tourist attraction. I heard about it, but I didn't see it myself, said Timmins tourism and attractions manager Will Saari. We sent a building and maintenance crew out and they cleaned it up."
