Just noticed that after her rock climb, Shania enjoys a Coke! (my fave drink) .... She may be promoting a gluten-free diet for Applebees, but nice to see she likes her Coke!

Shania Twain to Debut New Single June 12

Posted Jun 4th 2011 12:00PM by Erin Duvall

Shania Twain will premiere her first new single in six years, 'Today Is Your Day,' on the series finale of her television show June 12. Immediately following the airing of 'Why Not? With Shania Twain,' the tune will be sent directly to radio stations nationwide, and available to fans via iTunes only.

"I wrote this song in real time as the series developed," the songbird told Perez Hilton. "I'm so excited! I can't believe it!"

The show chronicles the Canada native's process as she penned the tune and worked to regain her self-confidence and will to perform. "I've trapped my own voice, and now I've got to unwipe all that," she told Oprah Winfrey earlier this year. "I really can't imagine not singing again."

In this Sunday's (June 5) episode, Shania participates in a one-on-one vocal training session with coach Eric Vetro, before working with producer David Foster to discuss working on the new tune. Watch it at 10:00 PM ET/PT on OWN.

Also expected in the series finale, titled 'Endless Love,' the singer-songwriter marries Frédéric Thiébaud, and shares never-before-seen footage from their wedding in the Bahamas.

"Fred is not only nice, he's incredible," Shania gushed to Redbook magazine. "He's attentive, brighter than God should ever allow any one man to be, funny, romantic, and cute as heck. Most of all, he shows what he feels, and that's a quality that could come in any shape or size and be admired -- it just so happens that Fred has a very gorgeous shape. He's too good to be true, only he's real! Good for me, is all I can say, and I'm loving every minute of it."

In addition, the episode will show Shania as she records a duet of 'Endless Love' with Lionel Richie.

The 'Why Not? With Shania Twain' finale airs Sunday, June 12 at 10:00 PM ET/PT on OWN.

Shania Twain Sees a Vocal Coach on ‘Why Not? With Shania Twain’

By: Amy Sciarretto

The journey to locate her elusive voice continues for Shania Twain. On ‘Finding My Voice,’ the latest episode of ‘Why Not? With Shania Twain,’ the singer, who is the recent recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, actually makes real progress as she unlearns her bad habits (such as distrusting her voice) and relearns how to sing.

The episode starts off with Twain expressing discomfort at a photo shoot for the cover of her autobiography. Twain is blessed in the looks department, so it’s confounding to hear her question her looks when it’s obvious that she is drop-dead gorgeous. She talks about aging naturally, and realizes her struggle with self-image, saying, “I think we all are in some ways,” regarding image consciousness.

The biggest event of the episode, if not the series, is Twain’s Meeting with uber-producer David Foster, who specializes in working with Canadian pop stars like Celine Dion and Michael Buble. Before her meeting with Foster, Twain visits a voice coach who has worked with everyone from Meat Loaf to Katy Perry and she talks about the physical tension she feels in her throat.

When she does meet with Foster, he convinces her to go into a vocal booth and record, which terrifies Twain. She looks as uncomfortable as we’ve ever seen in this very revealing docu-drama. But guess what? She sounds great. She is proving to be her own biggest stumbling block. Foster even tells her that she is one of the few singers, like Seal and Sting, who can sing a few bars and you instantly know who it is. It is certainly informative, as we watch Foster coach her through vocal patterns and help steer the ‘Today Is Your Day’ singer in a new direction.

With all of the support — from her sister, her new husband, a mega producer, a vocal coach and multiple therapists — Twain is proving to be the only one standing in her way.

There was a big clue in that promo. It said season finale and not series finale. Maybe they have something cooked up for the future. This could very well be the end, however most shows that are ending say series finale instead of season finale. Kind of curious.

Shania Twain's real-life fairytale: The unseen images from her romantic wedding

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 8:57 AM on 13th June 2011

At first glance it looks just like a film set.

Shania Twain married Swiss businessman Frédéric Thiébaud, 40, in a fairytale ceremony as the sun set on a beach in Puerto Rico.

The previously unseen images were shown in the final episode of the country music star's reality TV show on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network.

Real-life fairytale: Shania Twain grins as she exchanges her vows at sunset with Frederic Thiebaud in the final episode of the country music star's reality TV show

Unseen scenes: Twain and Thiebaud, the ex-husband of her ex-best friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud, tied the knot on New Year's Day in Puerto Rico

Shania and Thiebaud, the ex-husband of her ex-best friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud, tied the knot on New Year's Day.

The Canadian country singer, 45, wore a white gown with a black sash and a full veil for the Caribbean event.

She accessorised the dress, bought from a small boutique in near her home in Switzerland, with Lorraine Schwartz jewellery and Calvin Klein shoes.

Private: The pair wed at sunset in front of 40 of their closest family and friends, including her son Eja, nine, who gave her away

The pair wed at sunset in front of 40 of their closest family and friends, including Shania's son Eja, nine, who gave her away.

Their marriage came two and a half years after they discovered their respective ex-spouses were allegedly having an affair.

Shania was devastated to discover her husband of 14 years, Robert 'Mutt' Lange, was having a relationship with her best friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud - ex-wife of Frédéric.

The first kiss: The two embrace as they celebrate their fresh start

After initially consoling each other in the aftermath of the marriage breakdowns, Twain and Thiébaud's friendship developed into love, with the country star revealing their engagement on December 21.

In an earlier episode of Shania's show she was seen defending her ex-husband during therapy sessions.

'He is a wonderful person, a kind person, a beautiful person and a great father,' she told her therapist.

' I guess I am not really ready to let the anger part of our relationship to take over. I have not cried enough I admit that.'

Memories: The couple enjoy a horseride together

Shania Twain's wedding wraps up series
By MusicRooms on 06/13/2011

Shania Twain's marriage to Frederic Thiebaud has been shown in the final episode of the country music star's reality TV show.

Twain and Thiebaud, the ex-husband of her ex-best friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud, tied the knot on New Year's Day in Puerto Rico.

The wedding came after the collapse of her 14-year marriage to music producer Mutt Lange after he had an affair with Marie-Anne.

Footage of the beach wedding was revealed on the season finale of Shania's Why Not? on OWN.

As part of the finale, Twain, 45, was also shown recording her record with music legend Lionel Richie, singing Endless Love.

Despite her fears over her voice, Twain and Richie recorded the duet in his vacation home in the Bahamas.

She was forced to battle her way through the recording but with Richie's encouragement she found her way.

"Wow, I haven't sung with that sort of power for years," a beaming Twain said as her old skills and confidence came back to her. "I was energised and inspired, now I know what I am supposed to be doing."

Shania Twain Sings With Lionel Richie, Debuts ‘Today Is Your Day’ on ‘Why Not? With Shania Twain’ Season Finale

By: Amy Sciarretto | June 13, 2011

On last night’s season finale of the first season of ‘Why Not? With Shania Twain,’ the singer made a statement that demonstrates how far she has come. Shania Twain shared intimate details about her relationship with her now-husband Frederic Thiebaud, whom was married to the woman who had an affair with Twain’s former husband Mutt Lange.

Twain made an incredibly poignant and revelatory statement when she assessed her current and former relationship, saying, “I spent 14 years of my prime years in a marriage, but it was beautiful as it was.” She has gotten herself in a better mental place. She shared footage from her wedding ceremony, which took place on January 1, as well as the vows and photos. There is nothing Shania won’t share. She moves further and further towards acceptance, and it feels as if she is this close to achieving a modicum of closure.

The episode is titled ‘Endless Love,’ since Twain partnered with Lionel Richie to sing an updated version of his massive hit, ‘Endless Love,’ which originally featured Diana Ross. Twain initially nixed the idea and Richie admitted he talked her into doing it! Richie had the same issue as Twain: overthinking it. Richie stopped singing for years while dealing with some personal issues, and he realized that the only thing that kept him from singing was himself.

The studio process was a struggle for Shania, but she soldiered through it and sang it like Shania Twain. It sounded amazing.

Overall, Twain summed up the docu-drama as a crucial tool in her growth and getting back to singing.

She closed the first season of the series with the complete version of ‘Today Is Your Day,’ which we’ve heard grow from a nascent idea into a fireside version and raw demo into this full realized, finished product.

Shania Twain is back. So is her voice.

Finding Sarah: From Royalty to the Real World (pictured above) is a six-part, one-hour series that follows Ferguson as she tries to rebuild her life, produced by World of Wonder; while Carson Nation is a six-part series following style expert Carson Kressley (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) doing makeovers on the RelativityREAL series.

Seven-part docu-reality series Breaking down the Bars follows a group of female prisoners, produced by 44 Blue, while the four-part series Confronting deals with the mediation process between a victim and offender, also produced by RelativityREAL.

Rosie O'Donnell's New OWN Talk Show Soft in Ratings Debut

"Oprah's Lifeclass" launched to 333,000 total viewers on the network following O'Donnell's return to TV.

3:52 PM PDT 10/11/2011 by Philiana Ng

Rosie O'Donnell's new daily talk show on OWN debuted Monday night. How did it do in the ratings?

With Russell Brand as the first guest on O'Donnell's 7 p.m. series, The Rosie Show lured 497,000 total viewers to its premiere telecast. That number -- though a vast improvement from the previous year when it was still Discovery Health -- is down significantly from the premiere of Shania Twain's unscripted series Why Not? With Shania Twain, which drew 839,000, for a point of comparison. (It should be noted that The Rosie Show airs five days a week, while Twain's series was broadcast weekly on Sundays.) Our America With Lisa Ling launched to 574,000 earlier this year on a Tuesday, before rising 24 percent to 733,000 in its second week.

Among women 25-54, The Rosie Show drew a 0.44 rating. Broadcast across five Discovery networks at 7 p.m., including TLC, Investigation Discovery, Discovery Fit & Health and Planet Green, the talker averaged 1.5 million.

"The thing to know about Rosie O’Donnell is that she gets it. She’s done a standard talk show – her own, which ran for years. She’s done The View a show calculated in so many ways. O’Donnell knows the formula at work in these kinds of shows. So when she signed on with Oprah to get back in the game with her own show on Oprah’s OWN, there must have been a part of her that knew she could do something vastly different, perhaps even fresher," reviewed The Hollywood Reporter's chief TV critic Tim Goodman.

He added, "I don’t think Rosie stumbled at all in this first show. I think she was herself. I think the looseness is an asset. And if anyone tinkers with that, they’ll be making a huge mistake."

Following The Rosie Show, Oprah's Lifeclass -- airing weeknights at 8 p.m. -- debuted to 333,000 viewers on OWN and dipped just slightly among women 25-54 (0.4) from its lead-in. When the five networks' simulcast is tallied up, the hourlong drew 1.2 million. Notably, Lifeclass counted 250,000 streams to its live webcast on Oprah.com and through Oprah Winfrey and OWN's Facebook pages.

“The new fall season on OWN is off to an encouraging start,” said Erik Logan, president of OWN. “This is the next right step as we continue to build the network.”

The Rosie Show marks the network's first daily talk show.

They ship from Australia to the U.S., Canada, UK, etc. so I assume the DVD will play on DVD players in the U.S., Canada, etc.. But shipping costs as much as the DVD!
