As fans eagerly anticipate the next album from Shania Twain, the superstar has a little something to tide them over while they wait. People.com reports Shania will star on “Why Not? With Shania Twain,” an hour-long series premiering on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. “The show will follow [Twain] as she begins her climb back to the top, a personal journey filled with risk, revelations and unexpected adventures,” says a statement from the network.

Shania – who previously avoided the spotlight – has slowly started sharing more of her life with fans. After separating from her husband, producer Robert “Mutt” Lange, in May 2008, she began posting videos and photos on her website of her new boyfriend, Frédéric Thiébaud – incidentally, the ex-husband of Lange’s alleged new girlfriend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud – with her son, Eja, as they travelled the world.

One of the most recent “public” Shania sightings was in February. She posted a video, shot in Canada by Thiébaud – in which she visits a radio station, jokes about her junk-food cravings and the effect of the cold weather on her skin, and banters with her Swiss-born beau, whose French-inflected voice can be heard throughout.

Last August, she posted a video travelogue documenting a skydiving trip in Florida, a camel-riding adventure in Egypt and a bike ride through a London park with Thiébaud, whom in an accompanying letter she called her “most constant companion.” 

An air date for “Why Not? With Shania Twain” has yet to be announced.
