Shania Twain ‘Having the Best Time’ as Idol Guest Judge

Just days after opening up about her relationship with Frédéric Thiébaud, Shania Twain is also getting cozy — professionally-speaking — with Simon Cowell during her stint as a guest judge for American Idol’s Chicago auditions.

 

“She’s loving American Idol. She’s having the best time,” says a source close to the singer, who is filling Paula Abdul’s vacant seat during auditions Monday and Tuesday in the Windy City. “She and Simon have a really great rapport with each other. They’re funny together.”

 

Cowell isn’t the only one having fun with Twain, 44. “The crew loved working with her,” says an Idol source. “Everyone thought she was a great addition to the judges’ table. She showed up in good spirits and had a lot of fun. She was clearly really excited to be a part of the day.”

 

Twain’s stint on the talent search capped an unusually public week for the typically private singer, who last week finally opened up about her relationship with Thiébaud. “She’s the happiest I’ve seen her in years. I know [he] has a lot to do with it,” says the Twain source, adding, “She’s really pleased to be in the public eye again.”

 

After finishing her Idol judging Tuesday, Twain will head home to Switzerland, where her son Eja, 8, is in school. Says the Twain source, “She’ll continue writing songs and enjoying life.” –Jason Lynch with reporting by Alexis Chiu Lisa Ingassia

This woman doesn't age ! Beautiful!

[Black Kitten]

time has been such a friend for her... she never looked better!

[CSCfan]

[Koolan]

She's so gorgeous. I'll have to get my Shania fix again.

[Belle Céline]

She looks goregous! Anyone know what her son Eja looks like? I've literally only saw one photo ever of the kid from years ago.

[CSCfan]

Watch the video on her official site and you'll see Eja a couple of times....

Guess she isn't that strict about any pics taken of him anymore (was probably Mutt's doing)..

New blog & photo from Shania!

 

Dear Friends,

 

First off, thank you for all the kind birthday wishes. I had a fabulous day with my family in Canada, ending with a surprise fireworks display.

 

I hope you enjoyed my “recovery and discovery” travel montage from the last several months. I took great pleasure in sharing it with all of you as a “thank you” for your support.

 

Now it’s onto more excitement over the next few months, leading up to the New Year. I’ll continue to keep you posted periodically on what’s going on, as I continue to live and love each day, indulge in the joy of being a mom, continue writing, traveling, and keeping myself inspired.

 

The pic is from my recent trip to Chicago sitting in as a guest judge for American Idol. I had a blast and was touched by the warm welcome that Simon, Kara, Randy and Ryan extended to me. I can’t wait for you to see it. I loved Chicago! So many fantastic buildings, it’s super clean, has an interesting history, and the overall beauty of the place makes it very special. I also discovered “Frango” mint chocolates. Yum!

 

Again, sorry for the bad quality of the photo. I’ve gotta get Fred a better camera!

 

Love,

 

Shania

'Idol' guest judge Shania Twain is picture of happiness as she jets into NYC

Fresh from Switzerland, where she spent time with her eight-year-old son Eja, country superstar Shania Twain was on top of the world as she arrived in the Big Apple on Tuesday.

 

The Ontario-born beauty's stint as a guest judge on American Idol was just what she needed to ease her back into the spotlight.

 

And after filling in for Paula Abdul on the popular reality TV star search, the 44-year-old flew back to her Swiss home, where her son is in school.

 

And being reunited with her favourite boy was the icing on the cake of what's been a particularly positive time for the brunette beauty.

 

A source close to the singer says: "She's the happiest I've seen her in years. She's really happy to be in the public eye again."

 

And Shania's joie de vivre spilled over onto the Idol set. "She's having the best time," said a show source during filming of her guest spot. "She and Simon Cowell have a really great rapport with each other. They're funny together."

 

A crew member adds: "She showed up in good spirits and had a lot of fun. She was clearly really excited to be a part of the day."

 

Part of the reason behind the star's sunny mood is said to be down to her relationship with Frédéric Thiébaud.

 

While Shania hasn't confirmed the pair are actually romantically involved, she acknowledged how much his support has meant to her since the break-up of her marriage to music producer husband Robert Lange.

 

Referring to Frédéric as "a dear friend and true gentleman," the usually-private singer paid tribute to him on her website.

 

"(He) has been the most constant companion and support for both Eja and I. And having gone through the suffering of his family splitting apart at the same time and under the same extreme circumstances, he understands me better than anyone," she explained.

 

"We leaned on one another through the ups and downs, taking turns holding each other up. We've become stronger and closer through it all, as have our children, Eja and Johanna, Fred's 8-year-old daughter."

KIDMAN AND TWAIN SHOW SUPPORT FOR WOMEN'S CHARITY

 

NICOLE KIDMAN, SHANIA TWAIN, NAOMI CAMPBELL and TYRA BANKS joined Britain's first lady SARAH BROWN and QUEEN RANIA of Jordan in New York on Wednesday (23Sep09) to show their support for a women's charity.

U.S. lifestyle queen Martha Stewart and designer Diane von Furstenburg also attended the Important Dinner for Women, where the world's most powerful women were celebrated.

 

The gala was also held to support the Millennium Development Goal, which aims to reduce the number of women who die from childbirth every year.

Brown, the wife of U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown, co-hosted the charity event and urged the 300 attendees to help save lives by using their voices to raise the profile of the global initiative.

She told the crowd, "When a mother survives, a lot survives with her, and when women come together, they are an unstoppable force for change."

The NYC airport photo looked very bad. She looked so much older than she was.
