Singer Shania Twain was born on August 28, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. She began performing at the age of 13 on CBC Television’s Tommy Hunter Show. While attending Timmins High and Vocational School in Timmins, she also sang for a local band called “Longshot.”
Shania Twain is a phenomenon. With more than 57 million albums sold in the U.S. and Canada, she is the top-selling female country artist of all time; has multi-platinum album sales in 32 countries; has the eighth-biggest selling album of all time in the U.S. and 18 top ten songs, 8 of which reached #1.
Most amazing of all, Shania has reached beyond all feasible music boundaries with just four studio albums – 3 of which have received Diamond certification by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for sales of 10 million copies in the U.S. She is the only female artist to have three consecutive albums sell more than 10 million copies.
Though she released an album in the early 1990s with little fanfare, most people consider 1995’s The Woman In Me to be the first true Shania Twain album. That’s because, unlike her debut record, it contained songs that Twain herself wrote and delivered in her own distinctive way. Produced by former husband Mutt Lange, The Woman In Me stunned the country music world, brilliantly bringing a catchy pop sensibility to the genre. “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?," the first single from the album, made an impression, but the brash and sassy “Any Man of Mine” really set the tone for Twain’s impact on country music. A runaway hit, complemented by a video that showed Twain’s star power off to dazzling perfection, the song became her first #1 followed by the equally attitude-filled “(If You're Not In It For Love) I’m Outta Here!,” "You Win My Love" and the more low-key “No One Needs To Know.” The Woman In Me went on to sell more than 12 million copies in the U.S., replacing Patsy Cline’s Greatest Hits as the best-selling album by a female country artist and earning Twain a Grammy in 1996 for “Best Country Album.”
She followed that remarkable success with Come On Over in 1997, which saw one single after the next become chart hits. “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!,” "That Don't Impress Me Much," “Love Gets Me Every Time” and “You’re Still The One” solidified her musical persona as a strong but playful woman who believed in and demanded true respect. With sales of 20 million in the U.S., the album became the biggest seller by a woman in any genre of music. Not only did Twain reach beyond country music to reach pop fans, she crossed oceans, becoming a top-selling artist worldwide.
In May of 1998, with two wildly-successful albums and enough hit songs for a solid show, Twain set out on her first headlining tour, Come On Over. Over the course of 19 months, she performed for more than 2.5 million screaming fans, silencing critics who wondered if she could re-create her music in a live setting. The tour was one of the highest-grossing tours in both 1998 and 1999 and became one of the biggest tours by a female musician in any genre. Having done what she came to do, Twain finally took a break.She retreated to her home in Switzerland, had a baby boy in 2001 and generally lived her life for the next few years. Her distinctive voice was missed, and Country Music magazine ran an article that read like a letter to Twain, begging her to come back with more music. At the end of 2002 she did.
UP! didn’t disappoint. Released in the U.S. as a 2-CD set - one offering a country version of the songs, the other a pop mix of them - the album delighted fans, who snapped up nearly three million copies in the first 6 weeks of release. The first single, “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!,” showed that motherhood and time away had not altered Twain’s approach to her music. Time magazine called UP!, “Easily the best pop album of the year...with the kind of energy that reminds you how much fun the genre can be.”
Once again, the proof of Shania’s power as songwriter and performer was seen in the sales chart. UP!, certified at 10 million U.S. sales, made Twain the only artist in history to have three consecutive 10x Platinum RIAA-certified albums [the other two being The Woman In Me (12x platinum) and Come On Over (20x platinum)]. Her UP! tour was the top-grossing country tour of 2004, and often caused jaded music critics to talk in Shania-like exclamation points.
Twain’s most recent album is Shania Twain Greatest Hits and with her previous powerhouse albums to draw from, the record is the ultimate exclamation point to her career so far.
Twain’s highly anticipated memoir From This Moment On was recently released on May 3 and quickly climbed the New York Times best-sellers list. Twain’s docu-series “Why Not? With Shania Twain” premiered May 8, exclusively on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network to rave reviews and record-breaking viewership for the network. Airing Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT, the series takes an intimate look at the amazing journey of the music superstar who, by the age of 21, had survived a childhood of poverty, the loss of both parents in a devastating accident and how she went on to become the best-selling female artist in country music history.Shania Twain works tirelessly with the following charities: Shania Kids Can, Second Harvest Food Banks, Swiss Red Cross and many others.

Shania At the 2011 CMA Music Fest
Shania Twain Signs Copies Of Her Acclaimed Autobiography At 2011 CMA Music Festival
Former CMA Entertainer of the Year's First Appearance at the Festival Since 1996
"I'm so thrilled to be part of the Festival," said Twain. "It is a huge reunion each year for fans and artists and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the artists I haven't seen in awhile and connecting with the fans who have been so supportive through the years."
Twain will have lots of company. During a recent appearance on the "Oprah Winfrey Show," Twain surprised the entire studio audience with two-day passes to the 2011 CMA Music Festival and accommodations at the Gaylord Opryland Resort (June 9-10).
"We are thrilled that Shania is back for the 40th anniversary and bringing another 300 fans to the party," said CMA Chief Executive Officer Steve Moore. "She is such a warm and respected ambassador for the format and her connection with her fans speaks to the heart of what makes this event such a success."
Twain last appeared at CMA Music Festival in 1996, when it was still known as Fan Fair® and held at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. She will return in 2011 to sign copies of her autobiography, which has been described as "revealing" and "emotionally riveting" by reviewers. The book, which was published by Atria Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster, is available nationwide and will be available onsite at the Festival.
Twain's docu-series on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, "Why Not? with Shania Twain," debuted May 8 as the highest-rated premiere to date outside of launch weekend for the network and posted triple digit growth across all key demos versus year ago Discovery Health numbers. "Why Not? with Shania Twain" airs Sunday's at 10:00 PM/ET; 9:00 PM/CT.
Twain rose to fame in the early 1990s with her debut album Shania Twain (1993), and achieved worldwide success with her 1997 album Come On Over, which became the best-selling album of all time by a female musician, and the best selling Country Music album of all time. A five-time Grammy award winner, Twain has also achieved major success as a songwriter, winning 27 BMI Songwriter awards. Despite the fact Twain has released very few albums, she has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide to date, including 48 million in the U.S.
CMA Music Festival is held Thursday through Sunday, June 9-12, in the heart of Music City USA. The event supports music education in public schools through CMA's Keep the Music Playing campaign. To date, CMA has donated nearly $5 million to purchase instruments and equipment for Metro Nashville Public Schools on behalf of the artists who make appearances and perform for free.

Here is a piece of the interview:
Shania on how she hopes her book will help others:
Shania: “I hope that other people relate to this. Even in finding my own voice because it’s blocked my voice. This lack of self-expression. I hope that through finding my own voice that it speaks for others as well.”
Ellen: “You are helping others ..I know how hard this is. I personally feel an obligation. This fame we have a platform if we can help other people…”
Shania: “Exactly.”
Ellen: “We can be an example and be a story for somebody out there to have the strength and say they did it. I can do it. So you are doing that.”
Shania: “This platform is great. It’s fantastic but it’s so much more meaningful to use it for a deeper meaning, a deeper personal meaning.”
Shania on if she will sing again:
Ellen: “I know you said, it’s affected your voice and you haven’t been able to sing since all this happened. So, it’s taking a physical as well as an emotional toll on you. Do you think you will sing again?”
Shania: “Yes, I will sing again. Absolutely.”
Ellen: “We want see you sing again. We want to hear that. You have such a beautiful voice. The more you keep talking about it the more your voice is going to open up and I can’t wait to hear you sing again. I can’t wait.”
Shania is not coming back, Shania is BACK!

Zac - The Next Leo?
Zac Efron doesn’t have a hard time making the ladies swoon, but it seems that one of his upcoming projects will certify his status as a box office babe: “Die in a Gunfight,” an action flick that shares common themes with Shakespeare’s classic “Romeo and Juliet.”Last week, we spoke with “Gunfight” director Anthony Mandler, who very recently signed on to helm the project. He gave us the scoop on working with the former “High School Musical” sensation on this latest film and helping him bridge the difficult road from kid star to adult actor.
“I just signed on to a movie ‘Die in a Gunfight’ that Zac Efron’s starring in,” Mandler told MTV News. “It’s a ‘Fight Club,’ ‘Romeo and Juliet’–esque, dystopian, another world [type of story] that’s really exciting.”
The film certainly doesn’t sound anything like “High School Musical,” to say the least, and in Mandler’s opinion, this could well be the movie that changes the way people view Efron as an actor.
“It’s an absolute departure and opportunity for him to show this transition from teenage star to man,” he said. “And I think it’s the movie that we’ve all been waiting for him to do, and like ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was [Leonardo] DiCaprio or like ‘Cry Baby’ was for Johnny Depp. There’s a real opportunity for this movie to show a different side of Zac Efron. It’s an incredibly well written script… very exciting.”
As for his current progress on the film, Mandler said: “We’re doing rewrites on [it] and probably prepping for the fall.”

Shania on "Extra"
"It's very beautifully twisted," referring to her recent marriage to Fred Thiebaud, ex-husband of her best friend, the same best friend who had an affair with Twain's first husband, Robert John "Mutt" Lange. "I'm very grateful it's turned out the way it did."
Twain is promoting her new memoir, "From This Moment On," and says she was ready to talk about her personal life. "I've always been, like you said, guarded about it, so I just needed to go the other way and find a healthy balance of sharing." Can she ever forgive her ex-husband and former best friend? "I think understanding is a better word."
The singer is also excited about her new OWN show, "Why Not?" -- explaining how it came about. "I stopped touring because I was losing my voice, and I needed a break, so the series unravels all about me discovering what's wrong and what I have to do about it."
As for her hidden talents, Shania says she loves "to cook. Fred thinks I'm extremely talented. I do love to cook. Don't get me started."
Be sure to check out "Why Not?" on Sunday nights on OWN, and pick up a copy of Twain's memoir "From This Moment On," in bookstores now.
