0705.30-Shania says she will tour [People]:

How does a country music super-star announce her newest fragrance? By inviting a select group of beauty editors to a luncheon in New York City -- and I was the lucky one seated right next to Shania Twain. Yep, baby argula salad and white truffle risotto with Shania. And yes, she is completely gorgeous, teeny-tiny, and down-to-earth friendly in a way that is pleasantly surprising when you're talking about, oh, one of the best-selling female recording artists of all time. She told me she and her husband (and music-producing partner) Mutt Lang will start working on her new album this summer, with a tour to follow next year. "Oh, definitely! We'll tour very soon after the album comes out," she said. And the new fragrance? A follow-up to her runaway success 2005 fragrance, Shania by Stetson, her new scent is Shania Starlight by Stetson (sense a theme?), which is meant to reflect the glamorous side of the star with a mix of freesia and sexy jasmine and amber. Shania Starlight by Stetson will be available in September for $18-$42 at deparment stores, drugstores, and ulta.com. -- Elizabeth Lamont

0705.25-Shania CMT Interview [CMT]:

Be sure to watch CMT INSIDER, Saturday May 26th at 2pm EST for a new Shania interview. Shania talks about her new perfume which launches in September, and on writing songs for her upcoming studio album. Here is part of the interview.....I'm always soul searching on a spiritual level. That's a permanent occupation of mine, I think, for the rest of my life. ... But I think I'm digging deeper and being more reflective ... even more as a woman. ... I almost got a little bit tired of talking about the woman's perspective for a little while, myself. And I thought that the next record was going to be just deeper as a human being. But the more I dig deeper as a human being, the stronger I feel about a woman's perspective. (laughs) That is really crazy! So I just go full circle and back to that. I'm not a feminist. I can kind of just say that now. I was a bit confused about that for a while, but I think more than ever now ... I love the role that men play in our lives. And it just makes me feel even that more important as a woman. Be sure to check the video captures from the show later this weekend...go here

0705.23-Shania talks with Women's Wear Daily [STAR]:

Star Magazine paraphrases an interview Shania seems to have done for Women's Wear Daily, so take this with a grain of salt.  Shania Twain has teamed up with Coty for the second time to launch her second perfume, Shania Starlight by Stetson. “I enjoyed the first experience so much that I wanted to do it again,” Shania Twain told Women's Wear Daily of the perfume which hits stores in September. “The fragrance has a sense of maturity, while being sexier and more sensual. I want women to feel luxurious and glamorous while wearing it.”  The second fragrance will show off the different side of Twain, not so closely associated with country music, Coty executives hope. Developed by Givaudan’s Caroline Sabas, the fragrance is described as a “fruity floral” scent and carries hints of everything from mandarin and lemon, apple blossom and white freesia to jasmine, cashmere woods, and musk. “This has a more elaborate olfactory structure, with floral fruity notes which create a more energetic and sparking feel that’s directly linked to the concept of starlight,” Steve Morris, senior vice president of global marketing for Coty Beauty said to WWD. Though creating such a complex fragrance can be difficult, Twain admits she especially enjoyed smelling the different scents. “The freesia note gives it a femininity, while citrusy note like mandarin give it an energetic bold,” said Twain. “The blend of amber with musk makes it more romantic.”  Industry experts expect Coty to support the launch with a $10 million print and television campaign, while Coty is working with Twain’s record label, Mercury Records, on CD tie-ins. As for Twains’ CD, she confesses, “I want to come back with a very positive impact. My career is music, so if I can’t focus and write, I have nothing to revolve the rest of my career around. I’m putting together a diary about a new chapter in my life that I’m about to share, and I might write a little more about my own struggles.”

Shania Twain was hobnobbing with the truly royal when she visited Monaco for the World Music Awards and met Prince Albert, son of Princess Grace. Country Weekly caught up with Shania for this important event in our June 4, 1996 issue, and Shania told us that she was proud to serve as an ambassador for American country music. "Country music here in Monaco is not really as popular as pop music is," she noted. "Maybe the fact that the music I'll perform has a pop sensibility to it will help people realize that country music isn't necessarily what they think it is." Shania was named World's Best-Selling Country Female Artist.
