Country superstar “I’m too famous for the land of my birth, so I’ll move to Switzerland” Shania Twain was recently spotted dining with her beau Frederic Thiebaud while slumming in North America, specifically, New York City. People that actually care about that sort of thing made note of Twain’s obscenely priced and ridiculously huge diamond engagement ring.
For a brief moment in time, the world ground to a halt.
At least that’s what some people would have you believe.
The New Guy.
Personally, the only point of interest to the Hook is this – Thiebaud is the ex-husband of Shania’s very former best friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud, the woman Twain claims ran off with her husband of 14 years, rock super-producer Mutt Lange.
First, she changes her given name, Eileen, to Shania, an Ojibwa word which means “on my way”. Then she marries a guy named Mutt. She divorces him and gets engaged to a guy named Frederic. By the way, her kid’s name is Eja D’Angelo (pronounced “Asia”). Twain’s an odd duck isn’t she?
For the record, The Hook never trusted Shania Twain. Consider this, for years she struggled to produce a viable music career only to have moderate success. Then Mutt Lange, one of rock’s top producers of all time, hears her recordings and decides to reach out to her.
Now, her agent at the time claims to never have heard of Lange, but I’m sure Shania did, because within weeks of telephone conversations and meetings she claims to have fallen for him.
So let me get this straight, you’re Shania Twain, an unknown struggling singer who also happens to be a knockout, you meet an ultra-powerful rock producer and suddenly fall in love. He takes you to the top of the charts and gives you the life you always dreamed of.
It sure was lucky she fell in love with him immediately, wasn’t it?
THE OLD GUY. OH YEAH, SHE MARRIED FOR LOVE.
By the way, singer Steve Earle once called Twain the “highest paid lap dancer in the world”. I just always loved that coment.
Fourteen years later Twain accused Lange of cheating on her with her best friend, even though Lange and Marie-Anne Thiebaud denied the affair. Nonetheless, Twain spoke publicly of the intense double betrayal and gained a lot of public sympathy, which never hurt anyone’s cd sales.
Then what does she do? She steals her former best friend’s husband.
I guess payback’s not a bitch, but a washed-up country star.
I GUESS IT’S TRUE THAT COUNTRY STARS ARE CLASSIER THAN THEIR ROCK ‘N ROLL COUNTERPARTS.

How can she “steal” her former best friends husband? You mean the chick who is currently boinking her ex? Mutt was lucky to have married Shania, considering he is the UGLIEST guy out there. Marie-Anne is fugly too so those two make a great couple. You are reaching way too hard to dish dirt on Shania Twain. And who cares what Steve Earle has to say about anyone. Where has he been the last 20 years, other than drowning in booze?
Both couples are divorced now. Shania says she grew close to Frederic Thiebaud while they were recovering from their “double betrayal”. I just always loved the Steve Earle comment, regardless of how much of a drunk he may be. And Shania asked for the mudslinging when she decided to get alll twisted with her love life.
You are such a bully and a jerk.
You say these things about Shania Twain when it just makes you look so stupid and so cruel!
Thanks, I really try.

shania cannot be without a man, period.
Well said!
For me, Shania Twain is the best country singer. She had very great songs in the 90s and i think she is better than Taylor Swift. “‘,”,
Warmest wishes

You are a jealous person, why else would you throw such mud at her. Oh, maybe because you have a stupid little blog that you need attention for. I just happened to stumble on it, and I certainly won’t be back. Enjoy your deluded life, you’re only important in your own little world.
I’m deluded? Ask yourself this, “Did The Hook tell any lies? He may not like Shania, but did he lie about her actions?”
I’ll tell you one thing, it takes a special kind pf person to take the time to bash a total stranger on their own blog…
But thanks for the attention, Marie. By the way, isn’t it time to take your meds?
I read a magazine interview with her the other day, where she accused Marie-Anne of “trading up” to Mutt…. Errr, aren’t *you* married to her EX? Nice thing to say about your own husband?!
The whole situation is crazy.
Consider the source…
good for her, she should teach those cheating idiots a lesson, she ended up with a better deal anyway. and are you kidding me? why are you ripping on shania twain – you think mutt lange is an idiot? you think he didnt see talent from a mile away – of course he did, shania twain has an amazingly attractive and unique voice that no one could mimic, but just envy, i mean have you heard her songs, do not tell me britney, jewel, madonna, or lady gaga can follow. and she wasn’t mediocre – if you were around in the 90s and early 2000, she was everywhere and she had the highest selling album so i dont know what planet you are from.
ps mutt definitely got the better deal marrying shania, i mean seriously, she’s talented and gorgeous, he knew he was lucky and just married her – honestly those that can’t sing, write, just how it is
and dude tone it down on the misogyny
Misogyny? If I had feelings about random comments on my blog from strangers, that may have hurt, Eric!
”I’ll tell you one thing, it takes a special kind pf person to take the time to bash a total stranger…”
do you see a correlation here?
and another thing- i know steve earle personally, i grew up going to his house in fairview, TN., then in nashville. i’m still friends with his son and ex-stepdaughter. if he said that about shania twain, it’s laughable and obviously coming from a place of jealousy at her success. you should see him in his house- he just sits in front of the tv doing drugs.
his perspective and opinions are skewed, to say the least. it makes sense you would feel affinity to his comment.
whats funny is you obviously care about her- you’re writing a blog about her. i don’t see her writing a blog about you, haha.
again, i quote you-
”I’ll tell you one thing, it takes a special kind pf person to take the time to bash a total stranger…”
now, i’m not bashing YOU- i don’t know you- but i have read your words and i’m simply pointing out the hypocrisy and irony of your comments. that is all.
At least you called me special. Thanks!
Special in the “duh, dee, dah” way:)
Wow. You were hurtin’ for a story weren’t you?
What can I say? I love a good train wreck.
I agree with this article. She likes drama-period!
Indeed!
Hi, how can you speak of her intimate matters if you are not close to her? Doing that is not telling anything about her or Mutt, it only exposes you. And about Earle comments, well… anyone is free to speak about his own frustration and envy. Did you know about “Shania Kids Can”?
haha Hook is funny… God bless y’all
You rock, Emmylou!
Wow!! Why all the hate for Shania?? Say what you will and think what you think about her, she’s sold 75 million records and you can’t argue with that. People love Shania. She walked away from it all to be with Mutt and it back fired on her and now she’s remarried and living her life enjoying her millions and you are writing a blog that she will never read or hear about or care about. She doesn’t have to work another day in her life so anything she does from now on is
Icing on the cake. Why don’t you relax grab some eggnog and pop in “White Christmas” w Bubble and Shania duet.
oooh crap, so sick of this article, showing jealousy!!!!! if you dont even know her please dont judge, any shania fan will be sad.
Everyone judges celebrities, Merlina! It’s in our nature to judge others. In this case, I have some valid points that Shania herself has heard many times over, I’m sure…
And if a Shania fan wants to be sad, they should shed a tear over the fact their idol’s museum has been shut down – in her hometown, no less! I think we’re simply going to have to agree to disagree on this one, folks…
Hmmmm…..your posting was funny. I found it entertaining. I don’t think anyone can take it too serioously. If people want to change their name (most artists do), or want to live somewhere (I love Switzerland – can’t blame her) then that is their choice. I don’t personally know anybody in your article – but I suspect they are like the rest of us. Trying to make their way through life.
You sound like a very fair-minded individual, Stuart. Good for you!
