Praise Song for Obama

Whit Honea — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:03:00 GMT

Some of our favorite celebrity parents played their patriotic hearts out at the concert held Sunday for Barack Obama and you, the American people (or wherever you live).

Stevie Wonder joined forces with Sheryl Crow and Usher to serenade the then president-elect and millions of their closest friends.

No word on whether or not they brought their kids along for the historical occasion. I like to think that they did.

Shania Twain's 5 Step Recovery After Cheating Spouse Breaks Her Heart

Sassy Smith — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 16:03:00 GMT

Country music star Shania Twain and her producer husband, "Mutt" Lange announced their split back in May. It was reported that Lange had cheated on Twain with long time friend and personal secretary, Marie Ann Thiebaud, however both denied the rumors. A source close to those involved said, "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship." Ouch. So how has Shania handled the last few months?

More photos after the jump!

Star magazine writes Shania's 5 Step To A Rockin' Recovery:

#1 Regain your independence:

According to reports, Shania was very much controlled by Mutt in most aspects of her life. A source said, "He would restrict how much Shania could travel, what she could eat, even which friends she could see!

"He was a very jealous guy and didn't like her associating with her male pals. He is a real loner, and as a result, he tried to isolate Shania as well. Now she's making her own decisions again."

# 2 Improve your body and mind:

Shania had lost weight after the breakup says a close pal, but "she pulled herself together, put the pounds she lost back on, and now she looks absolutely fantastic!

"She loves her curves, and she feels sexy and young again." Shania returned to her hometown of Huntsville, Ontario, and kept busy over the summer, playing golf and tennis and doing yoga. The source adds, "She also spent time talking with a spiritual counselor in the months after the breakup. It was a real comfort to Shania and helped her stay centered."

# 3 Find strength in your family:

Shania brought her 7-year-old son Eja with her to Ontario. The friend says, "She's a fantastic mom, and Eja is her rock. He is the secret weapon that really kept Shania going through her darkest days.

"They spent a wonderful summer together, and now that he's back in his Swiss private school, Shania will be going back and forth between Switzerland and Canada."

Shania is also close to her sisters, Jill and Carrie-Ann. "She always has their 100 percent support and love."

# 4 Don't count out romance:

Twain's friend says that although the breakup was hard, she's not counting out finding love again.

"It took a while, but now that she's feeling so much better about herself, Shania has told her pals that she's ready to get back on the dating scene. She'd even consider a younger man!

"She's not ruling out giving love another chance. I think she'd be thrilled to find a man who would appreciate her for who she is and not try to change her."

# 5 Plan that big comeback:

David Scarlett, senior editor of Country Weekly, said Shania's recent standing ovation at the CMA awards was well deserved.

"Not just because of the respect due to the top-selling female solo artist of all time, but mostly for the sincere affection of the country music community and her fans."

The source adds that Shania is working on a new album that will have songs that address her marriage breakup.

Scarlett adds, "Her comeback could be huge!"

Hopefully Shania and Mutt can have a civil divorce and remember to put their son first.

Salma Hayeck and her little girl Valentina smiled (one of them anyway) for the cameras on their way to a birthday party for Stevie Wonder's son. The Jonas Brothers played. It was wild.

Valentina just celebrated her birthday as well. No word on the Jonas Brothers.

Jack "Mixed Tape" Black

Whit Honea — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:32:00 GMT

Ah, the mixed tape. Nothing says who you are better than a personal playlist.

Jack Black is “pretty proud” regarding a playlist he created on his iPod. Black made it to better bond with his oldest son Samuel. Says the musical daddy, “He’s got great rhythm and loves to dance. I think I cracked the code."

Some samples from the mix include:

Dee-Lite’s “Groove Is in the Heart”

Abba’s “Dancing Queen”

Weezer’s “Surfwax America”

Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” - not to be confused with the cover by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, although it's also a good version

What? No Tenacious D?

"Mutt" Is A Real Dog - He Cheated On Shania Twain?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 20 May 2008 18:34:00 GMT

Sexy superstar Shania Twain and her husband "Mutt" Lange announced their split a few days ago. Lange issued a statement to PEOPLE, saying, it was "an unfortunate thing. It's literally just a growing apart, that's all." However, sources close to the couple say that the growing apart was more like a third person involved. How could he cheat on Shania?

An insider says that Mutt allegedly became involved with Marie Ann Thiebaud - she's the woman who managed the couple's chateau in Switzerland and was also a personal, longtime secretary. Now that's low! Says the insider, "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship."

Lange however, denies the rumor that Thiebaud is the reason for the split, saying, "It's absolutely not the reason [for the separation]." He also denies the affair ever happened. Marie Ann has not made a comment.

I hope whatever the reason for the breakup, this couple can make their separation as painless for their 6-year-old son Eja D’Angelo as is possible.

Are you a man who's often fantasized about sexy country singer Shania Twain? Had hopes that you could be the guy to sweep her off of her feet? That may very well be a possibility....

Shania and her husband of 14 years, Robert Mutt Lange are calling it quits. They have a son, Eja D'Angelo, who turns seven in August. According to People.com:

A spokesperson for the couple said, "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."

The Grammy-winning performer makes her home in Switzerland and has lived there since 2000. She's been working on a new album set for release sometime this year.

We're sorry to hear of the split - hopefully it's at least amicable for their son.
