News today that Shania (I’m too good for North America, so I’m moving to Switzerland!) Twain will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at this year’s Juno Awards.
The Junos, for the uninitiated, are the Canadian “special” cousin of the American Grammy Awards. You get the idea, they lack the production values or mega-star power of the Grammys, but they do serve Molson Canadian and genuine Canadian back bacon during the pre-show, which is always nice.
The question that springs to mind concerning this announcement, is of course, ”She hasn’t released any new material or made any relevant cultural contributions for years, so why honor Shania Twain now?’
In almost every aspect of life, especially television, timing is everything.
Shania’s autobiography will hit book store shelves this spring and Why Not? With Shania Twain is set to debut in April on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. And there’s the country song that is her love life.
Twain married her ex-best friend’s ex-husband Frederic Thiebaud on New Year’s Day in Puerto Rico. And to make matters more sorted, Twain’s ex, Robert “Mutt” Lange is engaged to Theibaud’s ex-wife.
Naturally, all this soap opera-type bed hopping has raised Shania’s profile to a level it hasn’t been in years!
The Juno Awards aren’t exactly a cultural highlight here in Canada, so the new Mrs. Thiebaud’s appearance will no doubt boost ratings and justify the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences’ decision to honor her in the first place.

#121: The Reign of The Kardashians!
If Howard Stern is truly the King of All Media, this clan is its Royal Family.
Seriously, their actions currently determine the course of most media sites, magazines, paparazzi, etc. Even Oprah recently tried to raise the fortunes of her failing network by airing a special “in-depth, probing” series of interviews with the First Family of Dysfunction.
Of course, the sisters only showed up because they thought they were actually going to be probed, but that is neither here not there….
Just take a look at my blog stats for June 14 and let me know if you spot a pattern:
Personally, I think was the moment I truly feared for the future….
There are literally millions of worthy role models walking this planet that our children can safely follow – that goes for us grown-ups as well – but we have allowed the media to inundate our brains with these bottom feeder celebrities. We should never forget just how we first became familiar with these hosebags in the first place:
What else is there to say? They’re everywhere these days, and until the public says otherwise, they won’t be returning to whatever God forsaken rock they slithered out from under any time soon.
