This Will Impress You Much

The five-time-Grammy-Award-winning singer (and JUNO Award winner) Shania Twain is about to have a very big year. The singer, who has been laying low from the music scene for the last few years (she released a greatest hits album in 2004) while semi-retired with her then-husband, producer Mutt Lange, and their son. In the last few years Twain has been on the receiving end of celebrity gossip after Lange had an affair with a family friend.

Twain will be writing about her "challenging and sometimes shockingly painful upbringing in rural Ontario," as well as her divorce in her upcoming memoir, to be published by Atria Books in 2011. The announcement of a book deal for the as yet untitled project came this week. Also next year, she will debut a docu-series on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network.
