Remember the Meaning of Thanksgiving! During these days of holiday and celebration, please remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Many foodbanks need your support, the recent economic recession has caused a serious decline in the number of donations to foodbanks. Following Shania's example, please support a foodbank if you can. You can always donate online if you prefer at America's Second Harvest ! THANK YOU Joni for the the thought!

Luke Lewis on Shania-Mercury.   Mercury Nashville Chairman and Country Music Association President Luke Lewis has talked with the press regarding Nashville, music and projects in the aftermath of the September 11 events. Regarding the relationship between traditional country and cross-over music, Lewis has also mentioned Mercury's BIGGEST success Shania: "I think we can come out the other end as long as we're not too reliant on the superstars, but a lot of us are.

Construction Costs for Shania Centre. The Timmins Daily Press website discusses the issue of the real costs the city of Timmins had to pay for the construction of the Shania Twain Centre. Specific numbers are not available yet, but there is the prediction that final costs were much higher than expected. "Construction costs still not known for new Shania Centre. More than four months after the opening of the Shania Twain Centre, the City of Timmins has yet to reveal the actual cost of the centre. Two city councillors are starting to fear the worst about the construction costs. Coun. John Curley and Coun. Tom Laughren both expect the $11.5 million Shania Twain Centre and Timmins Gold Mine Tour upgrade to come in over budget. Since the centre opened June 30, councillors have been pushing to find out the financial details of construction. Laughren is frustrated at the amount of time it has taken to gather the finances of the centre...The initial cost of the project was shared by a number government and private sector sources. The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation committed nearly $5 million, the City of Timmins provided $1.5 million and private sector donations and other government sources covered the remainder of the cost of the 990 square metre centre which includes the Miner's Pick store, a small cafe and offices, a temporary exhibit area and the main Shania Twain exhibit area."

The most recent Shania Twain biography, written by famed British author and journalist Robin Eggar, will be published Thursday in Canada. The book is already in circulation in the United Kingdom and will be published later this month in Australia. Eggar, based in London, travelled to Canada and Timmins a few times to research for the unauthorized biography of Shania Twain. "It's not an authorized biography, so it is my take, my truth on what made Shania Twain," Eggar told The Daily Press via e-mail." Click HERE to read the full article!

Shania UK Concert on CMT CANADA! There is a Nice article over on the CMT CANADA site that talks about the "SHANIA UK" special that will air on That channel THIS SUNDAY, November 4th at 7 PM and 11 PM ET on CMT: "Since the mid '90s our very own Shania Twain has been slowly creating her own world dominance in the music industry. We know the stunning success story of her CD, "The Woman in Me" but, it was its follow-up, "Come On Over," that has given Shania the distinction of having the best selling solo album by a female artist and the best selling country album of all time. With that kind of exposure, you may think you've seen it all from this superstar, but there's something new to experience. "Shania U.K." Britain's famed music show, "Top of the Pops", and its makers have recently put together a concert special that puts Shania right amongst her fans in an intimate surrounding. "Shania U.K." features this dynamic performer and her stellar band ripping through hits from both of her blockbuster albums with some new twists on the sound and some new comments on the songs from Shania herself."

New Shania Q&A. The country music website countrystars.com has posted a new Q&A on Shania: 
Q: Can you tell me if Shania Twain will be at least releasing her album this year that she has been working on for like two years now? If not will she release any more songs from her record shattering album Come on Over? (Matt, Fairfax, VT) 
A: Because of the birth of her baby you will not get any new music from Shania Twain this year. And, she's already released nearly every song on that album. So, look for her next single to come from her new album. We are already waiting for the next great single! :) 

Kasey Bumps Shania. In the Article Archives of an Australian news site, at the Top of a February, 2000 article, there is an article that mentions Shania. 
Apparently, Shania is So dominant over there on the charts that it made Headline news when Kasey Chambers (an Australian Country artist) finally knocked Shania Out of the # 1 spot on the Country albums chart.As it turns out, Kasey was the FIRST person to have been able to knock Shania Out of the Top spot in quite a LONG time! In fact, NO ONE knocked Shania out of the # 1 spot on the Country Albums chart for 118 Weeks (just over TWO [2] YEARS!)!! Click HERE to read that article! GO Shania! :) (Thanks Ck, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !) 

You Just Never Know Where She'll Pop Up! In an AP article regarding Trace Adkins' new CD, titled "Trace Adkins: 'Tryin' to be Different", there is an interesting mention about Shania: "...At the center of all these bells and whistles is Adkins, singing about time-honored country music themes: the aftermath of divorce, the challenge of working life and the need to keep going after setbacks. It's like Johnny Cash took over halfway through a "Shania Twain" recording session." Click HERE to read the full article! (Thanks Stev and LoonEchoes, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Countrystars.om Q&A On Shania! Countrystars.com has, finally, updated their Question & Answer (Q&A) page. This week, there are TWO (2) SHANIA questions & answers. 
Q: How is it possible that an artist like Shania Twain who has had incredible success in North America and abroad as a country artist is not a member of the Grand Ole Opry yet? (Francesca, Washington, D.C.) 
A: The key word in your question is "abroad." Membership in the Grand Ole Opry is not just an honorary accomplishment. To become a member of the Grand Ole Opry you have to be able to commit to a certain number of performances each year on the Opry broadcasts. That makes it difficult for singers who live outside of Nashville. For Shania, who lives outside the country in Switzerland and only performs when she is on tour, she may never become a member of the Opry. 

Q: I wanted to know why Shania Twain has hidden through her entire pregnancy? And I would like to know when she is coming back and will start singing again? When will the public be able to see her baby? (Lisa, Independence, MO) 
A: We've answered this question before. But for those who missed it, so far Shania Twain has chosen to keep her pregnancy and her baby as private as possible. Many celebrities do the same thing because there is a real danger that people might wish to do harm to or  kidnap a celebrity's child. New music should come from Shania in 2002 followed by a possible tour next year. (Thanks Ck, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)
