Shania Hurting, but Grateful for "Beautiful Blessings"
Now that she’s trying to make it on her own, Shania Twain wants her fans to know she’ll be back in business soon, “hopefully stronger than ever.”
“As I am sure you have seen or heard; I am going through a rough time personally in my life,” the recently separated country star wrote in a message on her website dedicated to her “beloved fans.”
“I wanted you all to know that I could not be getting through this without you. Your letters, emails and words of encouragement give me strength. Your overwhelming support reminds me to smile, no matter how deep the pain and to always be grateful for all the beautiful blessings in my life…
“I have so much to say but I know the best way for me to speak is through my music. This is my therapy, my passion, and my love. I look forward to sharing it with all of you as I begin this new journey.
“I need some time to heal this broken heart but make no mistake; I will be back and hopefully stronger than ever.
“Thank you my friends, from the bottom of my heart.”
Twain and her producer hubby of 14 years, Robert “Mutt” Lange, announced their separation May 15. They have one son, 6-year-old Eja D’Angelo.
Britney Spears’ Off The Wagon Warning
Britney Spears’ Off The Wagon Warning
It seems that Britney Spears’ latest bar crawl was enough to make her AA leader feel the need to speak out on the matter.
John Sundahl, chairman of Britney’s AA chapter in LA, is quoted as saying: “I told her, ‘If you fall off the wagon, I don’t think you will live. If you don’t want to get sober for yourself, do it for your kids.’ ”
Sundahl confirmed what was already known… that Britney has partaken in off-the-wagon activity several times since leaving Malibu’s Promises clinic two months ago. The most recent incident happened to be a sighting of the fallen pop princess knocking back a few cocktails at trendy Hollywood hotspot Lola’s last Friday (June 15).
Offering words of encouragement, Sundahl insisted that Brit is now determined to get sober.
He stated: “She truly wants to stop what she’s doing. She’s changed her life in another direction, where she doesn’t get drunk every night and pass out.”
So far, that other direction happens to be purchasing a parakeet and spending time with her cousin Allie. Most recently, Britney was spotted shopping at Babies R’ Us and getting a beverage at Starbucks, where she is said to have thrown a little tantrum before continuing about her business.
