They?re both massive country music stars, and Taylor Swift and Shania Twain have teamed up for a very special video for the CMT Music Awards.
The ?Should?ve Said No? hitmaker and the ?Man I Feel Like A Woman? songstress recreated a scene from ?Thelma & Louise? and it looks totally authentic.
Shania did a great job of portraying Susan Sarandon?s Louise, while Taylor took care of Geena Davis? gig Thelma.
The 2011 CMT Music Awards is scheduled to hit the airwaves tomorrow night (Wednesday, June 8th) at 8pm on the CMT Network.

Arriving for a very special event, Shania Twain was spotted in front of the W Hotel on Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, CA on Thursday (June 2).
Joined by husband Frederic Thiebaud, the ?Feels Like a Woman? singer showed up to received the 2442nd star on the infamous Walk of Fame.
The star is well-deserved, as Twain over the years has received five Grammys, eight No. 1 hits and an album, and the 1997 offering ?Come on Over,? that became the top-selling album of all time by a female in any genre.
Expressing her gratitude via Twitter, Shania wrote earlier, ?Thank you to all my fans and everyone who came out to the ceremony today.?

I thought Pippa Middleton was on the cover of People last week, but my aunt lent me her newsstand copy of the latest People and it had Shania Twain on it in with the title Finding Love After Betrayal. As we’ve heard before from Shania, she really blames the other woman for her husband cheating, when she should have just as much ire, if not more so, for the ass whose bullsh*t she dealt with for 15 years. The thing is, the other woman was Shania’s best friend, her only friend in Switzerland, where she felt lonely and isolated in her multi million dollar estate.
People’s interview with Shania confirms In Touch’s story that Shania has barred the other woman from seeing her son, despite the fact that she sees the other woman’s daughter all the time. (Since she married her ex husband’s mistress’ estranged husband.) People also has the detail that Shania’s new husband was the guy who broke it to her that their spouses were cheating on them. This is some Shakespearean shizz. I love what Shania writes about the mistress. It’s like she’s spitting it out with a sneer and giving her the evil eye at the same time.
She took a break [from her career] in 2004 and settled with Lange and their son Eja, now 9, in Switzerland - she she barely knew a soul - and “the isolation started to spiral,” she says. “I wasn’t expressing myself anymore.”
At the same time, she and Lange were growing apart. “It’s very hard to be honest with yourself when something’s just not working,” says Twain, who devoured self help books. “Mutt had already made up his mind on what was going to be done, but I was in the dark.”
In March 2008 Lange told her he wanted a divorce. The next day Theibaud broke the crushing news that he believed his wife, Marie-Anne - her best friend, to whom she had confided her marital problems - was having an affair with Lange… The double betrayal sent her into a tailspin…
[Twain writes] “Fred explained that his wife had spent some time with my husband in luxury spas in the area over the last months. Of course, I demanded proof, and outside of what he’d witnessed personally, he had the classic evidence in the form of phone bills, hotel information and receipts, and the memory of a garter belt and lingerie he saw packed in her luggage. She was meant to be going away for time ‘alone.’”
Twain reserves most of her ire for Marie-Anne; even now, she utters that name only once in the course of an interview. “I hated her,” she writes in the book. “I was disgusted that another woman’s lust for a lifestyle upgrade was worth the devastation of my family…”
In truth, the one time she did encounter the other woman, not long after the split, “I had a total panic attack,” she says. “I just told her that she was a bad person - that’s all I could get out! When I left her, I thought, ‘You’re such a wimp, you coward!’ That was my big moment, and I blew it!”
Today Twain has no interaction with Marie-Anne and won’t allow her to have any contact with Eja either. “I just have no desire,” she says. “In fact my desire is to avoid her!”
[From People Magazine, print edition, May 23, 2011]
Ok, I get it now. I get that it was her best friend, that the woman lied to her when she confided in her that she was worried about her husband acting strange, and that the friend was committing the ultimate act of betrayal behind her back. So, though, was her husband if not more so. If this stupid wench wasn’t around he would have found another one to cheat on Shania with, he was just looking for an excuse. Same goes for this Marie-Anne person and her relationship.

At first glance this story sounds completely reasonable, considering that Shania Twain’s ex husband was seeing her best friend and assistant behind her back when they were still together. Then you realize that Shania married the mistresses’ ex husband and is currently spending time with that woman’s daughter (it’s complicated, but if you think of it like a partner swap it makes sense). In that context she seems like she’s still got an ax to grind when she should maybe let it go and let her son see his dad with his new partner, presuming they’re still together. She got wronged, but she’s moved and it’s fine for her to see the other woman’s kid, but not the other way around. It’s been three years now. Here’s the story, and hopefully it makes more sense than I’m explaining:
Even though Shania, 45, allows her son, Eja, 9, to spend time with [her ex] Mutt, she’s made it clear that Marie-Anne [the mistress] can’t go anywhere near him. Meanwhile, Shania treats Frederic, 41, [Shania's new husband] and Marie-Anne’s 8 year-old daughter, Johanna, as part of the family. While the two kids are close, they can only spend time together when they are with Shania and Frederic. “Shania laid down the law with Mutt,” a source close to the family tells In Touch about keeping Marie-Anne away.
And who could blame her? Once her closest confidante, “Marie-Anne used all those private conversations they had just to get closer to Mutt,” the source says. “Shania will never forgive her, and she doesn’t want her around Eja.”
But despite Shania’s no-stepmom rules, Johanna often visits Shania and Frederic’s home in Canada and even tags along on family trips. “Shania told Frederic she thinks of Johanna as her own daughter,” says the source.
[From In Touch, print edition, May 23, 2011]
Shania said on Oprah that the other woman was her best friend. When she realized that her husband was acting weird (because he was boning the best friend, natch) Shania asked Marie-Anne if she saw a change in Mutt, and Marie-Anne was all “no, he’s the same” or whatever. So I get that she doesn’t want to see her, and that she doesn’t want her kid around that wench. However, this makes me realize how kind of vengeful Shania’s new romance seems. I like her and find her to be a genuine person who feels things deeply. Taken in this context though (she sees the other woman’s kid as her own daughter and is now sleeping with that woman’s husband) it just all seems kind of creepy, like Shania had an agenda and didn’t just fall in love when her heart was broken.
This is the other woman. No sh*t.
And this is Shania’s ex.

I used to have a pretty big crush on Shania Twain back in the day, watching her dance around in her high waisted pants to crappy music was one of my favorite things to do, but the years have not been kind to the country lady. Here she is looking like a bitter high-school principal

She?s out promoting her new book ?From This Moment On? and Shania Twain was spotted at the ?Today? show in New York City this morning (May 4).
The ?Man, I Feel Like a Woman? songstress explained that while she?s normally a private person, writing the book helped her deal with the demise of her marriage and the subsequent fallout.
Shania explained, ?I would say it?s a periodic change of heart in a sense. It?s a phase I?m going through. It?s a period of my life where I need to focus on that. I wouldn?t say I will be an open book for the rest of my life and career, but it?s something I feel I need to face head on at the moment.?
She continued, ?I am genuinely a very private person. I?ve probably been too closed, and up to now, more closed than what was good for me. And I also feel that a lot of that we just a bit of fear and anxiety and maybe worried about what people would think all the time? now I?m at a point where I feel sharing and giving testimony to things I have experienced in life will do more good for others than it would do keeping it to myself. It also forces me a little bit out of my comfort zone which is necessary for part of the healing. Do one thing scary every day.?

Some publisher made the decision to release Shania Twain’s memoir yesterday, the same day as Jesse James’ memoir. I realize that they don’t have the same target audience, but I hate that publicity for Shania’s memoir could be overshadowed by Jesse’s drama. (I got Jesse James’ memoir on iBooks and we have a story coming up with quotes from it in just a moment.)
Parade has some advance quotes from Shania’s memoir, From This Moment On. She discusses how she dealt with the shock and pain when she found out her husband of 12 years, Mutt Lange, was cheating on her with a good friend of the family. Shania ended up hooking up with her husband’s mistresses’ estranged husband (it makes sense if you think of it like a partner swap) and it was a trade up for the both of them. She just remarried in January and seems blissfully happy but still wounded and affected by what she went through. She’s also back in the spotlight now after a long career hiatus. In these excerpts she’s almost poetic when she describes going through that ordeal and falling in love again.
In her revealing new memoir, From This Moment On, the 45-year-old star takes readers through the events that have made her who she is. In the excerpts below, Twain opens up about the impact of her mother and stepfather’s abusive marriage and the devastation of her husband, rock producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange’s affair.
On the devastating discovery, in March 2008, that her husband of 14 years was having an affair with her friend and confidante, Marie-Anne.
Twain describes it as “the most shocking and painful truth of my life since the death of my parents twenty years earlier….For the first week after finding out about the affair, I was ready to die–to go to bed forever and never wake up. Or to hurt someone. I was ready to do something desperate, but in reality, there was nothing to do but to suffer through it. Fortunately, when you’re a mom, the responsibility of caring for your child can keep you going.
“Denial can have multiple layers, and rationalizing is common when you’re trying to absorb something you just don’t want to believe. I thought: Okay, so maybe they made a mistake. My husband and my friend will come to their senses and realize that. I was ready to forgive, and forget, make things right , move on, and get on with our lives. Not like nothing had happened, but like something had happened that I thought was fixable. But his was not to be.
“Despite everything, I still loved my husband. And I still loved my friend. I put myself in their shoes with the understanding that accidents happen, we’re all human, and we all make mistakes….Eventually, I came to the point of accepting the end of my marriage.”
How she came to fall in love with Frederic Thiebaud, the ex-husband of the friend who betrayed her.
“I describe what happened to Fred and me this way: we were two people who had been jettisoned from our lives as if we’d been shoved off the edge of a high cliff. Thankfully, we managed to grab onto each other on the way down in midair, and break each other’s fall.
“I spent months shutting myself off from any thoughts of a relationship, but Fred loved me and was brave enough to come out and say it, even though I had made it clear that the thought of ever being in love again scared me out of my wits….It’s true I swore I would never allow myself to love again, but Fred is impossible not to love.
“Three years after our hearts were broken, together, I feel more love now than any other emotion I’ve felt since that time. I consider myself the luckiest woman on the planet that I have Fred to share the rest of my life with.”
Twain also describes the intense domestic violence and spousal abuse she witnessed as a child. In the book, she recalls one particular fight between her stepfather and mother.
“My mother was a featherweight and so easy to push around. Jerry had her on the bathroom floor by the toilet, and, grabbing her hair, he slammed her head against the side of the basin, knocking her out cold. I could see Jerry repeatedly plunge my mother’s head into the toilet bowl, then pull it out again. I remember wondering, ‘Why is he trying to drown her when she’s already dead?’ I wanted to scream, ‘Stop, you already killed her!’ I wanted to stop him, but I was too afraid…The enormity of that helplessness transferred to me, and I felt as limp as she was.”
Despite the violence, Twain says she felt “sorry” for her parents, and while she hated the violence, she “didn’t hate them.”
“The guilt and shame they clearly felt after each incident, I sensed, weighed a ton; knowing us kids were watching must have been awful. I felt sorry for their shame and didn’t have the heart to hold it against them even at that very young age. Each time, I just wanted it to be over, behind us and forgotten.”
Twain rose to fame in the early 1990s with her debut album. She describes the difficulty in dealing with her newfound celebrity, loss of privacy, and pressure to live up to the public’s expectations.
“I had moments of sheer desperation over these years, and although I never contemplated suicide, I was looking for an escape. I wished for an illness that might force me in the hospital so I could rest, or for the album suddenly to lose steam to it would be time to get off the road and pass my hours with my guitar just writing in peace with a few friends around a fire.”
[From Parade]
Shania was on Oprah yesterday and I read through the recap on Oprah’s site. You can also read highlights of her interview on People and Popeater. It sounds like she still sort-of blames the other woman, but that’s understandable because her then-husband’s mistress was her best friend and assistant. She told Oprah that when she asked the other woman if her husband was acting strange, she was all “I think he’s fine.” She hasn’t seen the mistress since, but she wrote her a letter asking her to leave her family alone that she shares in her book. Shania explained that we all have very low moments in our lives, and that was hers.
Shania strikes me as such a feeling person and someone who is fragile but ready to be back in the public eye. I admire her
and think she handled this all so well. To Oprah, Shania revealed that she suffers from a medical condition called dysphonia that squeezes her vocal chords, but says she hopes that she’ll be able to sing again soon. She has so many fans that feel the same.

I take it most of you watched the Juno’s last night…… Anyone? Well they’re the Canadian version of the Grammy’s so you can imagine just how important they are. Anyhow, Shania Twain apparently won something, lifetime achievement award or best disappearance from the mainstream or something along those pathetic lines. Unfortunately she decided to cover

Stepping out for a high-profile evening, Shania Twain was spotted at the 2011 Juno Awards last night (March 27).
The ?Man, I Feel Like a Woman? songstress looked lovely as she strolled inside the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada, sporting a black and silver gown.
And Shania was more than just a spectator - she was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame during the telecast.
In career news, Ms. Twain has her own docu-series on the Oprah Winfrey Network called ?Why Not?? premiering on May 8th.
