Toby on Shania! Toby Keith had to answer a question on cross over country music in one interview at country.com. Here is what Toby thinks of the whole issue: "I think crossover's great. I know one thing that's true, these people that criticize -- you need to go look at their record sales right this minute. Anybody that wants to criticize, better have record sales to back it up because Shania and those people that are getting the crossover stuff are getting record sales to back it up. It takes that kind of superstar power to make this industry sell records and be able to compete. If not, we're all gonna just become a niche in the industry, like bluegrass. So they've got to allow people to be heard to draw outside audiences continually into country music, just like the pop world does." Click HERE to read the full interview! Well said Toby! :) (Thanks Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Shania and Album Costs! According to an article on the music website www.musicrow.com , Shania has set another standard in music production costs: "“Most record companies are too concerned and driven by marketing and promotion,” says producer Paul Worley. “But most of the big success stories in this town involved spending extraordinary amounts of money on recording. When Mutt Lange rang up a half million-dollar tab on Shania’s second album, everyone snickered and winked. But look what happened. The Dixie Chicks spent almost $400,000 on their first project."

Album in April? According to the countrystars.com music website, Shania's new album could be released as early as April: "WATCH FOR THESE NEW ALBUMS IN 2002 . . .SHANIA TWAIN (early as Spring or Fall), FAITH HILL (probably), TAMMY COCHRAN, BLACKHAWK (March) , BILLY RAY CYRUS (May), MONTGOMERY GENTRY (August), MICHAEL PETERSON (Summer)." However, sources at Mercury Nashville have confirmed that that date is not correct...Oh well, it is going to be out next year for sure..hang in there Shania fans! :) (Thanks Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Shania Going to Timmins? According to an article posted today on the Timmins Daily Press website, the mayor of Timmins has hinted that Shania may be visiting her hometown next summer! "Mayor hints Shania visit in the works. 
Timmins may get a visit from its hometown singing sweetheart, Shania Twain, as early as next summer. Mayor Jamie Lim hinted at the visit during the year-end speech she delivered at Monday night's regular council meeting. "We are already planning for next year's summer FanFest and just maybe a visit from our brightest international ambassador, Shania Twain," Lim said. Twain has been out of the limelight this year during her pregnancy and after the birth of her first child in August. Even the opening of the Shania Twain Centre in Timmins this summer failed to draw the country singer into the public. The mayor touched on a number of other issues which impacted Timmins in 2001 during her annual speech." That would be great news for the Shania Centre and for all the fans, however a statement given to the STNAOFC by Mr. Will Saari, the Centre director, confirms that at the moment there is no certainty that Shania will be in Timmins next summer: "Yes, we are working (and hoping) for a visit by Shania in 2002, but nothing confirmed yet. The invite is there, but a summer promotional schedule has not been set yet, to our knowledge." Click HERE to read the full article in the press! Thank you Will!

"It's the idea of bringing everybody together and encouraging people to come up and see the lights," said Will Saari, tourism and attractions manager for the City of Timmins. The centre was planning to light up 20,000 Christmas bulbs, but the wind storm Thursday knocked down two 15-foot Christmas trees from the top of the centre. Those trees are expected to be lit today. Once the lights were on Thursday, the Bertha Shaw Public School Choir took over the entertainment scene and held a mini concert for a part of the evening.

Countrystars....A Shania fan is upset. One of the Q&A sections at Countrystars.com has a question on Shania by a fan who sounds upset. 
"Q: In a recent edition of "Country Weekly magazine that had Clint Black and his wife on the cover there was an article in the issue about Shania Twain being a new Mom and making new music. I see they included tabloid pictures taken September 1, 2001, 2 weeks after giving birth to her son August 12, 2001 by the paparazzi of Shania pushing a baby carriage and a close-up of her son, Eja! Those same pictures have been published in several tabloids magazines throughout the world (UK, Australia, US, Europe)! Is Country Weekly becoming a tabloid magazine now? Why would Country Weekly publish tabloid pictures that are almost 3 months old of Shania and her son Eja without her consent? That's what tabloids do! (Taylor) 
A: We can't confirm whether Shania gave her consent to the article or the photos, probably not. But, while not a tabloid publication, as far as we know, Country Weekly is just one publication owned by tabloid magnate, Rupert Murdoch."  (Thanks Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Shania Has Another Fan. Vivendi Universal Chairman Jean-Marie Messier, whose empire includes both a major film studio and music labels, is a Shania fan too!

Countrystars on Shania's Next Album. The music website countrystars.com has posted information on how things are going at Mercury in regards to Shania's new album. The truth is that there is nothing new at the moment and that Mercury is waiting along with the many Shania fans for the album to be released sometimes next year. "NEW SHANIA TWAIN ALBUM IN 2002. All the ducks seem to be in a row for a new Shania Twain album in 2002. Mercury records wants it and is planning to promote one. Most important, Shania wants one and is planning to deliver it. The big question is when? That's totally up to Shania and Mutt Lange and, at this point, they have not given the label a definite delivery date. Mercury points out they won't attempt to pressure Twain either. They remember that they waited 6 months longer than planned for the delivery of COME ON OVER and aren't about to complain about how that turned out, with 18 million copies sold and counting. To date Shania Twain has sold 31 million albums domestically (1 million of SHANIA TWAIN, 12 million of THE WOMAN IN ME and 18 million of COME ON OVER). Worldwide, Twain's total swells to over 50 million albums. The new album originally was tentatively slated to be delivered this past August. Instead, she delivered a new baby. Her plan this year was to support the new album with a new tour. It might be safe to assume that will happen next year, but the label warns it's not safe to assume anything at this point."
