-One Expensive Haircut!! November 25th, 2000
Shania's known well for her work with Kids Cafe and Second Harvest and her contributions haven't gone unrecognized by the organization. Shania has her own page at Second Harvest's web site describing some of her charity work with Second Harvest. Starting with donating all of the proceeds from the song "God Bless The Child" to auctioning off 20 premier-seat tickets at each of her 1998-99 tour stops, raising over $250,000 for Kids Cafe.
But a lot of Shania's personal contributions go unrecognized like the time she offered up a challenge with a crew member during her world tour. Shania offered to donate $1,000 for every inch he agreed to have cut off his hair. It turned out to be the most expensive haircut of all time, costing Shania $12,000. $12,000 translates into 420,000 pounds of food that can be distributed to hungry Americans. In a world in which bad news dominates other worthy stories, it's nice to spread the word on stories like this.

Shania has clearly stated that she plans to tour again after the release of her next album which was projected to be released in 2001 leaving us to assume that she'll hit the road again in 2001. Now we've got word that a reliable source tells CountryNow.com that Shania isn't planning to tour until 2002.

A possible end to a rumor that has been going around the internet and airwaves on country radio came at the CMA backstage interviews. When asked if she was building a new home in Wisconsin Shania reportedly flat out denied that report. The rumor started on the internet about a month ago and was even confirmed by several radio stations so we'll just have to see if there was anything to it or not.
The new rumors out there say that Shania has bought a cottage in the Huntsville Ontario area of her native Canada. The rumors should be taken for just what they are, rumors. If you live in that area of Canada don't go out looking for Shania just yet!
-Shania Speaks About New Album!! October 14th, 2000
During the post-CMA interviews a little insight into Shania's next album was gained as Shania spoke about it's progress. Shania who stated she is currently in the songwriting stage of the new album had this to say about the direction the new album will take: "At this stage, we are really just being very creative. We're not giving the music any direction right now. We're just creating music. I think it's very important for people to understand that. I think any songwriters aren't thinking, 'This song is going...' I just think it's really premature to make that decision.
"Right now, we're still writing. And when you're writing, you're thinking concepts, you're thinking of concepts, you're thinking of lyrics. You're not thinking about formats, style, really, and sound so much. So it's too early to tell what direction it's going to take."
-Shania Wins Big at BMI Awards!! October 14th, 2000

The awards were in recognition of the "Most Played Songs of the Year" in which "Come On Over," "Man! I Feel Like A Woman," "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "You've Got A Way" won. The reason Shania didn't receive any recognition in the ASCAP Awards is because she is a BMI registered songwriter.

In a rather uneventful night for Shania Twain fans the 2000 Canadian Country Music Association Awards took place in Edmonton Alberta Canada (09/11) and Shania got the cold shoulder from her home land. Not only did she not win any of the awards she was nominated for but just the mention of her name brought boo's from the crowd as it was announced during the naming of the nominees for several awards.One can only assume the lack of respect shown to Shania is in response to her not showing up for the awards.
-Summertime Fun!! September 7th, 2000
To find out more about what Shania's been up to this summer who better to tell us than Shania herself! Here she lets us know what she's been doing lately.
Summer Sports: "The sports I've been doing the most during the writing of the new album are hiking, swimming and horseback riding."
Her Dog: "Tim (my dog) is doing well and is also enjoying his break from the road. He is six years old and full of energy. He loves to go hiking with us.
The New Horses: "My newest horses are CHIEF - a red and white spotted Tennessee Walking Horse, QUEENY - a black Canadian Mounted Police Horse and SLICK - a chestnut America Saddlebred with a white blaze and four white socks."
A New Look: "I've cropped my hair to just below shoulder length and added a few highlights for the summer. I've been going with very light, low maintenance make up. For daywear I've just been using a little concealer on any blotchy spots. I stain my lips with Revlon's Colorstay mauvey #14 then lightly coat with "calm lip sheen". The eyeshadows I use most often lately are the "wet/dry shadow" Sandstorm and Coffee Bean."
Goals: "I am living in an area of Switzerland where French is the primary language. Living here, I've decided that I want and need to be able to communicate in it. I am in the process of learning French and hoping that I'll be able to hold a conversation in it before the year is out."
-CCMA's Will Be Broadcasted!! August 19th, 2000
It seems as if the CCMA's (Canadian Country Music Awards) will be broadcasted on television after all. Country television station TNN will air the awards event live on its network September 11, 2000.

We're only led to speculate wether the new music they were sampling was the new album or the Chrismas album because there was no comment regarding the music at this stage.

Here's what Britney had to say about the song Shania and Mutt wrote:
"When you hear the song, it's so pure and delicate. It's just one of those songs that pull you in," Spears told MTV News recently. "I think they wrote it 'specially for me, because the lyrics of the song, if you really listen ... they're more of what I can relate to, 'cause they're kind of young lyrics, I think. I don't think Shania would probably sing some of the words that I'm saying."

-Shania and Britney!! April 29th, 2000
While the fact that Shania and hubby Mutt worked close with Britney Spears during the production of her next album, we haven't heard any definitive information on just exactly how much of a contribution Shania and Mutt had in the final product.
