I just pulled out my camera to take 'vid caps' and my camera is not working. It is showing horizontal 'television' lines, like from the '80s, if any of you remember the old tv sets! Sorry!

The so far 'unseen' photos of Shania and Fred wlking through a parking lot with their shopping cart will be in 'Star' magazine this week. Shania is on the cover (small. lower left hand corner) and I saw on eTalk that that is the photo they show.

Is that the same Star magazine we get here in the U.S.?

No, Shania Twain Didn't Get Married Again

Shania Twain has a ring on her finger and time on her hands. Her publicist, however, is incredibly busy telling everybody that the country superstar has not re-married. Rumors surfaced on a Canadian tabloid that she's tied the knot with her beau, Frederic Thiebeau, after she was seen wearing a sparkly ring. The tabloid story begins: "You heard it here first! Despite a denial by her rep..." So, who do you believe? For more dismissals of the rumor, you can read Extra's blog ("They are not engaged and they are not married") or Radar Online ("She is not married or engaged to Fred.").

Exclusive: Despite ring-bearing pics, Shania's rep denies engagement

2009-08-25

While enjoying a relaxing week in Muskoka, Shania took her son, Eja, her beau Frederic Thiebaud, and his daughter Johanna to a local wild bird show with family friends

Sights of Shania Twain and her boyfriend Frederic Thiebaud in Muskoka this week have sparked rumours of a possible engagement, or perhaps even a secret marriage. But HELLO! Canada has learned exclusively from her publicist that neither is true.

Despite both sporting bands on their ring fingers, Shania’s rep told us, “She is not married and not engaged.”

Ahead of her turn as a guest judge on American Idol the Ontario-born star took the week off to relax and enjoy her summer home in Lake of Bays, near Huntsville, with her son Eja, her beau Frederic, and his young daughter, Johanna.

The group of four enjoyed each other’s company, and the many water toys at their disposal. Frederic and the kids had a blast jumping up and down on an inflatable trampoline and he later took Eja out for a spin on the jet ski.

The businessman and triathlete was a good friend of Shania and her ex, Robert “Mutt” Lange. It was his wife, Marie-Anne, who was the reported cause of Shania’s marital split, and the country singer has since sought comfort in Frederic’s company.

In great spirits, the pair also visited a local Wal-Mart to stock up the cottage and later took the kids to see a wild bird show with family friends.

The That Don’t Impress Me Much singer - who turns 44 on Friday - sent fans a teaser video last week.

Sitting in the garden at home in Switzerland, accompanied by two of her dogs, she began saying, "First to start I want to thank you for all the beautiful birthday wishes for Eja's birthday," in reference to her eight-year-old son.

"Secondly, if you haven’t already seen on my website, for August 28 on my birthday, I will be giving a small gift of thanks for all of your support over the last year."

This, coupled with the ring-bearing pictures, lead some to believe that a secret wedding had taken place, but according to reports, the gift in question could be a video travelogue of the singer’s adventures since she and Mutt parted ways in May 2008.

For more pics of Shania’s cottage getaway, grab issue 142 of HELLO! Canada on newsstands starting Thursday, August 27.

I think you get the point purple man. Being unmotivated for 7 years may better fit the sentence.
My Auntie who lost her son of a brain tumor and went back to work right away while she was grieving a death shows what true strength is.
She never once complained or played the victim.
And what she went through is ten times tougher than Shania can ever imagine.
Just imagine losing your 13 year old son. And having to work 2 jobs and go back to work right away.
I guess that is why I don't feel sorry for a zillionaire who has everything in the world but chooses to waste the talent god has given her.
There are about 19 million people who are really suffering that I feel sorry for before I even think of feeling sorry for Shania Twain.
Have a nice day.

Oh my goodness did you forget Shania didn't start off with millions of dollars.She has had tough times too.Did you forget she lost both parents in a car accident in one day.She had to pretty much raise her brothers and sister and worked her butt off to do so.
By the way how is she wasting her talent?Your just jealous because you have nothing better to do than dog Shania.You need to get you facts straight, get a life and Stop trying to drag everyone else down to your level.Shania has worked hard to get where she is today and deserves respect.Well she has plenty of respect from her true fans it not like she needs your anyways your just a joke.

probably engaged. I hope she has a pre nup to protect from this Euro nerd.

Kev, I don't know European marriage laws too well, but I read that pre nups are useless there because they are usually not honored. In the United States they are honored. If Switzerland has prenup friendly laws then she should be ok. If not this guy could be the one to clean her dry. Either way, I wish Shania the best. I mean, I've been married and divorced and that's something I don't wish on anybody. The song If You're Not In It For Love comes to mind when I saw the ring she has on her hand from Fred.

I don't know whether to be cynical and think that she was duping the fans as to whether she was already married to this guy and now that she is making a comeback she is disclosing it. I've been around the block and know that people keep privacy for a number of reasons. Have you ever thought about whether she didn't want to have Mutt use this relationship against her if she would've come out sooner? Love is complicated. In the end it is her business. What I care about is new music, etc.

Take it from someone who's been in the business, Shania can rebound without Mutt. I think it's insulting to Shania to think that without Mutt she'd be a tire without air. Her sound may not be so flashy, but she'll do well. She's not Britney Spears. If she has good people around her who know what they're doing, she'll have her sound and image reinvented and people will eventually like the new Shania. Judging by her new pics she is more in touch with herself and less detached and cold like she appeared when with Mutt. Those are healthy things and regardless of what your true opinion of Shania is this can only be good. biggrin

But remember this is the same magazine that said Shania was in New York with a bunch of friends but only was seen with Frederik.
People magazine only says what Shania's sources want them to say.
But once again no mention of any music of any kind which is really sad that she is becoming a celeb more than an artist.

Do you hate Europeans, because this isn't the first time you are scold him for coming from Europe?

I wish you Shania Twain fans get a life. I am a big fan and assure you I can not see Shania dating that dude for a number of reasons. Let me explain in a letter blog in June it said she was still in Pain unless she made that up because when someone is hurt the way Shania was over the last year I think dating makes no sense there only friends. As for him cleaning her out she ain't that dum Mutt Lang might be a idiot for cheating on Shania but in the almost 14 years together Shania learned alot like improving her song writing skills also she learned how to handle fame very well she is something that will come back smarter than ever because they say a heart break leads to a number one hit and when she comes back she is gonna be huge. As for people.com Shania already told us what she kinda did over the last year in the June blog a vodeo of it makes no sense because Shania knows how much we miss her I am feeling a announce coming for a new cd next Year and perhaps a video a song of something because people.com said her sources well what sources cause how in the hell did someone get the pictures of Shania Twain with a wedding ring on ? Is Shania wanting the attention so when she comes back the support will be there who knows. Until Friday please stop with the nasty remarks Thanks

But he needs to work on both aspects more in his posts as he sounds kind of off-kilter and warped someways.

Promise rings around here are usually given by high school kids as a promise to get engaged then married.So im not saying they are married,and if they are matching rings which i can't tell from the photos if there matching or not they would be telling the truth the they are not engaged or married.

Tonto · Guru

Nothing wrong with a promise ring it's a first step before really making a commitment. It's better to do it this way then to really make a commitment that neither one of you is ready for. It is a symbol to each other that you have deep feelings for each other and it's really sweet. A commitment but not a commitment. They promise that they love each other and that's it. It's like going steady. I'd still like to know more about what Mutt is up to. You know if he and Marie Ann are still together. Just my thoughts.

Warmest regards as always,

I suspect that things likely have ended between Mutt and Marie Ann. Once the world found out I doubt he would keep her around. He is too reclusive and she willingly spoke to the press and practically told the world they were having an affair.........but of course the break up of the marriage had nothing to do with her........LOL.

Star is the equivalent of the National Enquirer - total garbage. They are owned by the same corporate holding company - who also owns Country Weekly magazine.

Been thinking about the story in the Star about how supposedly Shania and Fred are planning a marriage next summer so doesn't that mean they are engaged and if that is so then why a promise ring instead of an engagement ring unless Fred is planning to surprise her with one on her birthday or maybe she has one but they are hiding it until they decide to go public with it if they ever do. Does this make sense to anyone else or is it just me that feels like we are going in circles as usual where Shania is concerned and I feel it won't end on Friday either because I do not think we will get all the answers we are looking for and if we do get answers how do we know they will be the truth at this point?

Warmest regards as always,

Who cares when and if they're going to get married. Maybe the rings they are wearing are 'promise' or 'committment' rings of a sort. I'm sure they both realize there is NO reason for them to rush into another marriage, just as they're both freshly divorced, or on just sorting out their divorces.
It is only insecure, usually young people who need to get engaged and married (think Britney) Shania and Fred are secure, wiser and experienced.
They just need to be together and show their respective kids that they are loving caring friends and they're probably trying not to disrupt their lives too much.

It is nice to see them doing nice, outdoorsy 'family' oriented things with each other and with their kids. There are a lot of other celebrities who are always partying, and that is hardly the case here.

Kringlesforall · Veteran Member

I'm starting to think about Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell relationship...

Be together romantically but not legally. They are still together and madly in love.

Maybe that's what Shania is trying to? There's nothing wrong with that; alot of people are together, never get married and have a very healthy relationship. Maybe they also think "Hey, we're in our late 30s & mid-40s; why bother?"

Shania Twain: Engaged to Frederic Thiebaud?

August 28th, 2009 11:06 AM by Free Britney

Tags: Shania Twain

By dating Frederic Thiebaud, Shania Twain has raised eyebrows.

He's the ex-husband, after all, of her friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud - who had been having an affair with Shania’s husband, Robert 'Mutt' Lange. That's drama.

Well, eight months after she began dating the husband of the other woman, it is being reported that Shania Twain and Frederic Thiebaud are getting married!

The couple showed off matching "promise rings" - hers silver with diamonds, his just silver - at Shania’s secluded cottage on the Lake of Bays in Ontario.

They "can’t wait" to make it official.

Shania Twain's husband, Mutt Lange, cheated on her with this dude's wife. Now she's getting the best revenge by getting engaged to Frederic Thiebaud! Supposedly.

A Star Magazine insider (there's a contradiction in terms) says Shania and Frederic have been discussing wedding plans and hope to tie the knot next year.

“[Frederic Thiebaud] is the only person that Shania trusts outside of her family,” says another insider. “She feels so lucky to have found him.”

This story is probably complete crap, but Mutt Lange is still an idiot.

On an unrelated note, Shania turns 44 today. Happy birthday, girl!

twain2country · Guru

In Shania's letter, she says that a good friend refers affectionately to her and Fred as "Lucy and Ricky Ricardo".

For anyone who doesn't know, they're characters from I Love Lucy.

Twain has never publicly stated she and Thiebaud are in a relationship, but she blogs on and on about their ongoing support for one another during the tumultuous last year. The videos don’t shy away from evidence, though, as the two are inseparable during a series of vacations through Florida, Switzerland, Spain and Egypt.

Shania Twain To Marry?

Is Shania to marry her ex's mistress's ex?

by Tom Miller

Sometimes life throws you a curveball. Sometimes you meet a cat named Mutt Lange (with the face to match) and you fall for that music-producing son of a gun. And sometimes, even though you are a gorgeous and talented star of country music, a guy named Mutt Lange will cheat on you with a member of the staff who is not that hot. But, if you're Shania Twain, you always get the last laugh. ("Man, I feel like a woman!") According to Celebamour, Shania Twain and her ex-husband's mistress's cuckold may be set to call it even. Read: Shania Twain In Love Quadrangle?

For those of you keeping score at home (and why wouldn't you be?), Shania Twain (zero relation to Samuel Clements) had a cheating husband. Not a rarity for a country singer, to get cheated and mistreated. The "other woman," Anne-Marie Thiébaud, was a bit of a Gal Friday for the family. Also not a rarity if the shenanigans on Mad Men are to be believed. But things get incredibly strange when a fellow called Frédéric Thiébaud got involved. He's the ex-husband of Marie-Anne Thiébaud and there's no pop culture reference point to compare how weird his involvement is. You'd have to guess that whatever Marie-Anne, Mutt, Shania and Frédéric look for in a spouse hasn't really changed much. Or maybe there's a certain schadenfreude in a revenge marriage. To our knowledge, no one has ever successfully pulled off the old spouse switcheroo, we're watching eagerly.
