Oh Baby.... When Shania is on the lake ,the town on Dorset knows it, and trust me they know ALOT more than People Magazine as to the day by day stuff. They should...They live on the same lake ... Still working on the goods....One thing I will say though.....THE RINGS ARE OFF, AND THAT IS 100 PERCENT CONFIRMED..Bob

Is that her wedding ring on her right hand? I've seen her in pictures before with it on her right hand and I've seen pictures with it not either hand.
If Mutt has hurt her so bad, why would she even wear her wedding rings?
I can't believe we're talking about Shania's rings and where she's wearing them! Isn't this just the craziest story? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone!
She does look nice and happy in that picture. Hopefully, things will work out.
No I didn't notice. Is that what it means when it's on the right hand? I'm sure guys would take note and still end up falling over one another to step in line to ask her in courtship.
I would image Shania is not ready to date for a long time. She should have never expected to be put in this circumstance. She should have finally been settled and content, now this.

ROBINSONS In Dorset...They will confirm she looked beautiful,happy,and yes...NO RINGS...Yesterday...WED MAY 28 around noon..So GREAT to hear. No child in sight but that is to be expected...With a dark haired middle-older aged woman and heavy set gentlemen... I Contacted reporters at the Forester in Hunstsville... Report they receive several press calls from outside media trying to get the goods on her..Advised they are basically told nothing. Looks like Shania might have a bit of cottage fever as it is known...Long weekend of rain...Right now the black flies are insane up here and the mosquitos even worse...Most the cottagers(mostly out of Toronto)will be staying away this weekend due to the weather..No matter how nice the log home is or how beautiful the area is, this might not be where you would want to be...Rain/bugs/not a boat or canoe in sight...Just BLAW.. Tonight she is not living the life of the rich and famous...To put it in perspective...She is in Ontario...She is a vegatarian...Nothing at this time of year is grown locally..Still too cold...Her veggies are being trucked in from states to Toronto terminals.......Trucked up to Muskoka and sold in small local stores....Maybe take this rainy, bugged filled night eating stale salads that were picked a couple of weeks ago and take it from there...Maybe it is where she wants to be,or at least thats where she thinks she wants to be..I guess only she can call that one...I can tell you one thing though...Spending a long rainy weekend in a cottage(which I have had many)...Well it can make you REAL cranky...A long way from Copps on opening night of the tour...Bummer but the truth. The sun is supposed to come out up here sometime Sunday..Maybe her and Eja can get out and skip some stones on the water...Hope so...Bob
Shania looks simply LOVELY, i'm so happy for her,and i hope this is a smile she got there and not just some facial expression,she has lost weight though,but hey,she's a vegetarian. i'm so happy that she's taking care of herself,now i believe that she can through this easier than i initially thought. God Bless You And Your Loved Ones, Sweet Shania Eilleen Twain.

Go easy Christina...My perception is that is a "posed"picture that she is attempting to make look natural. The ten fingers all showing on her thighs I feel is NOT just by chance..Nothing wrong with that, as she was showing what she knew were on many minds..The ring Also Shania is a great little actress as well...Nothing wrong with that either...Just adds so much more to her in her videos(ever seen some of her facials in videos...DON'T would be a perfect example...I really doubt if I high paid Hollywood actress could have done that video any better, Bottom line...Don't let one posed smiling face let you think it is all good for her . I think it is more of a good sign that she is getting out and doing stuff as confirmed in my above posting as apposed to just sitting around the cottage eating potatoe chips and ice cream. As I said, it is a long dreary buggy weekend and actually raining so hard right now that it woke me..Was not sure if it was wind or rain.. Not trying to bum you out but just thought I would like to make the comment, of not letting a picture tell a story.... Besides...that is NOT what Shania wears in Muskoka...Actually I have to wonder if it was "heading somewhere cloths" ......With the lousy forecast got of wonder if she might be thinking along my lines...Enough cabin fever...I really got to wonder if she is in Toronto this weekend for a few days...No doubt time will tell as the pictures will really start then...Bob
Hey Bob,you are right things aren't great ..yet. i'm not that optimistic as a person,you know it well,but i'm just happy to know that shnia is out and all dressed up. she looks like she taking care of herself instead of sink into self pitty,or just stay inside and do nothing. as for her fingers upon their thighs,from what i can see she looks like she has just got out of the car and she stretching out a little. it is too early for her to feel great,but at least she's not a mess as the media try to convince us.
i hope you have sun there soon,as for here we have totally summer temps..already.

Does anyone have any idea who the mid-older age dark hair woman might be.Needless to say someone pretty close to her...To me middle-older age sounds like about 65 years and dark hair at that age is not all that common..You guys are the picture experts..Not me...Does it match up with any pictures in your picture bank....Bob
could it be Helen Bolduc??? just a thought,only i really don't know what kind of hair this woman has,maybe Joe would know as he is like a shania expert he he and there is a chance that the press is making a mistake about that other woman's age,maybe she's someone younger who knows?? hey Bob maybe i should come now to Toronto he he i might get the chance to see shania in person,i know many Canadian fans are going to be in Toronto just for shania.

Personally I think there is a very good chance...2 months is a LONG time in the bush with a young boy...Also not the place to be conducting serious negotiations...Yes the real estate people talk about high speed internet on lake of bays but I can tell you..I know 2 friends that have cottages on the lake as well as at least 5 on Lake Rosseau where the super millionaires cottagers live...They all say the internet if really iffy Anyhow with all the serious stuff that she faces I really think that wolf country might not be the place...When you look at the Eja getting board factor,small hicktown type doctors,lousy internet and so on......NOPE....This stay will be short lived...Toronto would be the VERY obvious choice to settle this mess...She can still zip up on weekends. I have little to no doubt she will be showing up in Toronto...REAL SOON....maybe already
you know what she should do,i know i would,she should use some of her hard earned money to have fun and nothing else but fun. go shopping,go out for dinner with sisters and friends,take Eja anywhere he pleases. she should definitely have fun,and Toronto is the place to be if you wanna have Fun,hey i know about Toronto,i'm not that clueless,it is a great city,you should show us around when we come.

lol, at first was puzzled about this thread but I see there were posts from another thread added to this one first.
Thanks for the updates Bob.
As for the older dark haired heavy set woman you guys speak of I must have missed that photo. I've seen a Helen Bolduc photo at the Centre. I do believe she is a heavy set woman and Shania is very close to her as well and her husband. Shania also hangs around with a similarly described woman who is part of Shania's management team at QPrime. I would bet it is Helen in this circumstance. When Shania is in northern Ontario, Helen is usually around.
Shania looks radiant! I think Bob is right in saying this was a posed photo. She just so happens to have her hands the way she does on her thighs on a dark backdrop of her pants smiling so happily. This still has to be aching at her insides. Right now money is no object. I'm sure she's indulging to the fullest capacity. She looks like she's dressed to kill, wow what a fox! What else can you say about that. Yes Tina, it looks as though she may have shed some weight especially looking at her thighs. She is very sleek and slender looking. Must be the raw food diet, lol. My word it must be tough this time of year eating extremely healthy in northern Ontario as you say Bob.
She'll be in Toronto for all the messy stuff I'm sure and indulging in the riches but she sure wouldn't choose it as a place of residence. Give her the lakes and the trees and yes the bugs. Those flies never got the best of her, hehe.
As far as your comment of wanting her to just go out and have fun...I want that as well...Having said that...Have you ever tried to watch a very funny movie when you are in a very sad or worried mood...IT AIN"T FUNNY....Same thing when wanting to have fun...Again I really feel one should not put too much into the staged photos...The photos I would love to see is when she is alone or when the lights go out at night...That is the time that most with issues of the mind really can loose it....then the pills...then the side effects...and so on and so on. I know I am not putting out uplifting posts right now...It is intentional...Call it my defence mechanisims. Yes Shania is strong and if God has given her the gift of a healthy mind,this will slow her but sure not stop her....On the flip side if she has been cursed with one of the most ignored,most under researched,most understood disorder that effects literally millions through no fault of their own....ITS OVER....I in no way buy into Lulu's position that depression is directly linked to situations(research proves that). Just ask the millions who will say exactly this...I have no reason to be depressed,my life is pretty much what anyone would dream of.....and I can hardly get out of bed alot of the time...Again it runs in the genes and usually gets worse with time and age. I personally feel she started to change right near the end before the semi retirement...How many years later in Redbook states she is really having difficulty excepting her success and fame... Keep in mind the unusual length of time with NOTHING...This line of thinking should not, in my opinion be ignored...Don't get caught flat footed twice folks....Bob
Bob i know what you mean and you know that i know, don't 'ya? shania had a horrible time after her parents deaths and she didn't had time to grief properly ,because she simply had to work her butt off to provide for her siblings,But maybe shania is different and her mind works that way,she may be one of those people that get depressed when they simply don't do nothing and they have to work,whether that means on a career or just around the house. as for my comment about having fun,what i really meant was that she must go out even though she won't feel like it,she must keep her mind preoccupied.
now if she has changed over the years and Mutt chose to get away from her instead to help her,then this guy is not even worthy of my spit . is not impossible that shania might have a disorder but she has many people around her,and depression is not curable for some people but it can be controlled,and i don't mean only with medication. if i somehow find out that shania suffers from depression,i don't know what i would do,i might get so sad that i could immigrate to Canada,i'm serious.
time will tell Bob, some people just say 'oh well she will get over it she's a strong woman'but how much of a heartache can a heart takes,and being strong doesn't mean insensitive. i hope that her siblings and friends will take care of her as they are the only ones who really know her,Mutt used to be the one that knew her better than the rest(according to shania herself)but now he's not in the picture.
we have to talk about all this when we meet in person,i'd really like that Bob. shania's mental health was always on my mind,you know how sensitive i'm on that subject,you are not the only one who thinks and worries about that.

Hi Bob. I had no idea you were in Huntsville. I also wanted to say that you misunderstood me if you thought I thought all depression is situational.. all I was saying about Shania's mom is that she had a very depressed situation to be living and that would affect all of the children as well. However, depression can strike anytime and anyone. It can affect anyone in any situation. It can also be inherited. You are right Bob, sorry if you thought I meant anything else. Now back to Shania, she is at risk. She is really hurting now I loved seeing that picture but it certainly does not reflect how she must be really feeling about this. I do believe she will pull thru though, I really do as she is resilient (taking on responcibility of her siblings at such a young age shows that). I am worried about her though as she is a risk for depression no doubt about it. As she has come from a family where her mom was seriously depressed. All we can do is keep her in our thoughts and prayers, this entire family in our thoughts and prayers. I really do above all else hope this divorce can be handled fairly I really hope it is not ugly. I pretty well still find myself in shock over this. I really believed they would make it. I read the people magazine article. It sounds like Shania has a good support system in Canada......I sure hope this works out.
I think Shania needs a break from work and from that painful divorce (that Mutt, that hoor!). But I'll bet you that she will be back this year with a new album, I just know it! Because when there's more news about Shania, that means she is ready to getting back to work, and by November, we will have a new cd!
Besides, what is all the commotion about her rings? I have a ring that looks just like hers except for it's not a wedding ring, and that it's silver instead of gold.
Hey Tammy...Hope you are right. I think not, but there is nothing, that I would love more to read more than a posting from you this November saying...HEY BOB...TOLD YOU...I really mean that. As far as Christina...You seem to understand the concern I have and Lulu is WAY to educated in health not to get it(as you can see in her recent post) ANYHOW...I am going to stop talking about this issue...If I have offended anyone I apologize...But I can't hide my feelings...I think I have an very strong understanding of Shania...The person...You guys will kick my butt on stuff like photos etc but when it comes to "understanding her"...I think I can hold my own pretty good....Again some might be upset because I have addressed a senstive issue... I in no way do it in a mean spirited way..Just the opposite..It is because I believe it STRONGLY and feel it has to be brought out onto the table..LOUD AND CLEAR....As I said in an earlier post do not get caught flat footed again...So many thought because Shania was Shania a divorce was unthinkable....CAUGHT FLAT FOOTED.....If Shania cuts her finger when slicing an onion...It will bleed....If she is battling"other" stuff that gets out of control,then I would suggest that as fans ,that the least of our concerns will be new music ANYHOW....I AM DONE WITH THIS TOPIC...I have addressed it and would simply ask all to consider it when trying to understand her unusual absense,some of her unusual comments in press,and some of the stuff that we have yet to learn about...She might for example say something,do something,or not do something that disappoints you...Maybe keep this concern of mine in your judgements....SUBJECT CLOSED FROM ME AT LEAST but if others want to blast me(I can take It)...On the flip side if you think I am right and have missed something(either way) it would be a posting of outmost intrest to me personally....Respectfully...Bob
Apparently by Up! Up! Up!, Shania Twain meant Muskoka.
After a much-publicized May split from her husband of 14 years, super-producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, the Canadian country star took a trip to the cottage paradise to be with family.
"She left (Friday)," confirmed Julia, a worker at the Muskoka Airport who did not give her last name.
While the details surrounding the breakup are vague -- and what is known about her personal life even blurrier -- it's a sure thing that Twain doesn't usually make casual public appearances.
The 42-year-old from Timmons has been living in a castle in Switzerland with her 59-year-old ex, the man who brought us hits by AC/DC, Def Leppard and Bryan Adams.
The two have a son, 6-year-old Eja, together.
She is also rumoured now to be a vegetarian and devotee of Sant Mat, a strain of Sikh mysticism that advocates abstinence from sex and alcohol, hours of daily meditation and rigorous journal- keeping.
And while none of the usual celebrity hotspots saw her this most recent trip, the owner of one can attest to the vegetarian part.
Ronald Brabander, who runs Blondie's restaurant in nearby Gravenhurst, recalls catering for Shania one night and preparing 16 entrees to ensure there'd be one to fit her taste.
"We had an entire vegetarian menu," he said.
"We had to make smoked tofu in case she didn't like the arugula salad, and we had sushi rolls if she didn't like that."
Twain isn't the only celeb to zip up to the Muskokas, which are only increasing in popularity to the rich and famous.
RICH AND FAMOUS
Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and daughter Kate Hudson are longtime staples in the area, with actor Tom Hanks and director Steven Spielberg supposedly owning property as well.
Billionaire media mogul Ted Rogers and Robert Lantos, founder of entertainment giant Alliance-Atlantis, each have massive estates along the water.
hey Bob, i believe that your post is not adrresed to me,as i have already stated that shania's mental health was always on my mind,because i care about her as a person and because i'm sensitive on the subject.
i don't consider shania to be perfect or some kind of a godess,but she has many qualitles to be admired for. as for her marriage,i never thought that it would fail because she really seemed to love Mutt, but if Mutt left her because she is depressed, then is not her fault and Mutt is a bum to say the least.
i have never been dossapointed by any of shania actions or statements because i know she is a human being,i'm just admire her so much because of her music talent and because she has a great personality,and not because she has sold millions of records or has millions of dollars in the bank. so you won't be blasted by me,that's for sure.

Hey Christina...It was addressed to everyone and I have no doubt it will upset some....As far as the above posting by Tommy,you can see that my call was right...Her picture showed clearly that she was not dressed in Muskoka clothing and I had no doubt she was on the move south...Toronto is my strong call..She has lots of friends there,world class llawyers etc...Who knows...Maybe you will have some Shania action in Toronto after all if you come up...Bob
I share your concern Bob for Shania but I also feel she is resilient. I was glad to hear she was writing songs as this is how she seems to deal with her emotions. In an interview Shania said she has "over 300 songs written that Mutt has not seen and will not ever see". Maybe this is her way of dealing with what life deals you. She is at risk though but hopefully she will be ok. Thank God she has Eja. She will put him above everything and if Mutt feels the same way they will be able to avoid a messy divorce. As for new music, I agree with Bob. That has to be on a backburner for now. I still can't believe Mutt did what he did. This new woman must stroked his ego somehow. Actually no one knows what happened and we probably never will know why. It is sad though, a sad life experience that Shania and Eja will have to live thru. Both of them need our prayers now. I guess Mutt needs our prayers too. I just hope this divorce does not take forever and I just hope Shania and Eja will be ok.
The worst time for her had to be confronting the 2 people she trusted and loved with their betrayal. Is that how Mutt treats his friends??? The article stated he left to go to sports games in Russia and left the other woman to clean out Shania' stuff.After all it's just UNFORTUNATE that thay had grown apart. He used her, and she loved him. What a rat!!!! I think she has to stay silent because of Eja and the fact that he is his father. I hope Mutt gets hit in the head with a hockey puck and it causes him to see what he has done and that there is no place on this Earth that people will admire him because of this. Shania everyone knows you deserve better, move on, don't regret, and don't look back. Take your son and make a new family close to your family that loves you.By the way Mutt, I'm sure that the other woman's little boy won't like you either.
I thought that was quite odd. Mutt quickly went to Russia for some soccer tournment. Seems like he just doesn't care.
I think it's funny about the whole thing that started it. The furnture store? Last time I checked that was marriage about. So Mutt hated her way of putting the furnture. So what, you keep the comments quiet and say "Okay." Most guys would of been "Go ahead and place where ever" if they were married to sex symbol.
well guys and gals,Mutt is going to be quite busy after the 7th of June,as the European soccer tournament starts,he loves European soccer. so since the games are going to take place in Switerland and Austria,he might as well go and watch them all. do you think that he asked shania for a separation so he would be left alone to watch the games?? I'm joking Of Course,a little bit of sarcasm won't hurt.

I think he asked Shania for a divorce because he has a huge ego. Shania probably did not take any crap from him and that probably bothered him. I really believe it was her independent spirit that got to him. Thats what I think anyway. He turns to this other women to have his ego stroked. I believe Shania really loved this man and went out of her way to accommate him. She must still be in shock that he dumped her.
oh Lulu that is so sad, she married Mutt when she was 28,quite young, especially if you consider all the hardships that she had been through, by that i mean that she didn't have much time to have fun after all,then she works her butt off,then moves to Switzerland,has to convince him to have a baby,then it's all work work work,and now THIS??? how could he do that to her?? after all she had already been through,that is disgusting,what Mutt loves anyway,soccer and music?? if it turns out that the affair rumor is true,then if i ever see him on the street i would probably use a bad bad language,he is a fool,spiritual my a*s(pardon me once again). although i don't think i want to visit Switzerland anymore,many Europeans go there for Christmas holidays but i won'tbut i may visit London,so watch out Mutt.
btw according to Eggar's book,while Mutt was working on a Def Lappard album he had a girlfriend that accompanied him to the studio,and he was ignoring her all the time,what a respectful guy,if you don't want to be with a woman THEN SAY SO. i hate it when people play with feelings.

It is an odd situation. I talked with some friends today about this possible frustration Mutt had with Shania arranging the furniture the way she liked it. We all agreed, my gosh! if you were married to Shania Twain or any good old fashioned girl that took pride in keeping a neat home and decorating and designing a lovely setting you'd be the luckiest guy in the world! At least she isn't some lazy slob who has a messy house and throws junk all over the place. Foolish!
And in all this he still had to go to Moscow and watch his precious Manchester United (rolling eyes). I watched that game and was so hoping they'd lose but they didn't. him and his soccer and music. Why Shania had to be put through this I'll never understand. She was in tough times and finally got out of the rut and she found "prince charming" who swept her off her feet. Now he's done. Shameful.
I hope down the road when she's ready. She founds herself a lumberjack who will sweep her off the feet and love her for being fun, down to Earth, and being good mother. Not because she's Shania Twain.
WOW...How this posting ever went from Shania in Canada to dog talk...Go figure...Anyhow...After tonight I will be gone all day Wed and Thurs...Alot of that time in downtown Toronto area...Since that is my strong call as to where she is, I will be keeping a close watch...especially along Bloor St and Yorkville Ave where so LOVES to hang out and shop...Needless to say...If I spot her.you guys will know WAY before People Mag...Bob
Hey Bob,thanks for the info on where shania hangs out,it might come handy. as for me if i ever saw her walking by i'd be shy too,but after a while i would just shout something like " i love you miss Twain,you are the Best"
