Shania Twain Marries First Husband

Posted on December 28, 2017 by KBOE Administrator

On December 18, 1993, Shania Twain married music producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange. The couple divorced in 2010 after Lange allegedly had an affair with Twain’s best friend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud. On December 20, 2010, Twain’s manager confirmed that Twain was engaged to Frédéric Thiébaud (the Swiss ex-husband of her former best friend). She later wed Frédéric on Jan. 1, 2011.

Twain’s latest music (from July 2017) includes a dig at her ex-husband in Life’s About to Get Good. In the video, Twain grabs a black and white photo of her and Lange as she sings, “It was time to forget you,” and turns it upside down as Lange falls out of the shot.

Jason Aldean Receives ‘Coolest Gift Ever’

Posted on December 27, 2017 by KBOE Administrator

So, what do you get the man who has everything for Christmas–up to and including his first newborn son, who was delivered a few weeks before Santa was on the clock? Well, if you’re Jason Aldean’s wife, Brittany, you just might buy him … a bowling championship belt.

Aldean posted a picture of the flashy waist-gear on Christmas evening, with an approving note affirming it was perhaps “the coolest Christmas gift ever” from his wife and kids. He also references “Night Train Laynes,” which is, of course, a play on the title of his fifth studio album as well as his wife’s middle name.

Looks as if Brittany rolled herself a strike with this gift…and let us not forget, she was responsible for the best gift of all, baby son Memphis, already earlier in the month!

Aldean’s home has a private two-lane bowling alley (which Brittany has documented in Instagram stories), so it’s safe to say the singer is a fan of the sport. As we aren’t quite sure exactly where he’ll find the right occasion to wear such an, er, statement-making new belt, it’s a good thing to know that he can put it to use on his home turf.

Aldean is a sports fan in general, having gotten Memphis already in the act wearing Georgia Bulldogs gear before the little man even left the hospital after being born.
