Shania Twain gets OWN show, not confirmed for 'American Idol' return

Shania Twain is set to star in "Why Not? With Shania Twain," a series premiering on
OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.According to People, the hour-long series "The show will follow [Twain] as she begins her climb back to the top, a personal journey filled with risk, revelations and unexpected adventures."
No air date has been set yet for the Twain show, but there this isn't Shania's first foray in front of the camera. She appeared as a guest judge in Chicago on Season 9 of "American Idol," famously complimenting eventual semi-finalist John Park on his "nice bottom end." Hee!
Rumors have swirled that she may return to "Idol" as a guest mentor this season (presumably on a country-themed week, though we'd love it if they went against type and it was like thrash metal or something), but FOX has told Zap2it that the show cannot confirm her return.
What do you think about the OWN network's project? Will you watch?

Shania was amazing on American Idol, a breath of fresh air.
I will certainly watch her new show and cheer her on as she makes a comeback.
Why not?
Of course I'd watch, it sounds like it could be good... Besides, everyone else on tv has a reality show, so why not her, lol....
Hell yeah I'd watch. The woman is mad talented. I can't wait for her next album.
I will most definately watch her show. I miss seeing Shania around like we used to. I wish she would go out on tour again, seeing her in concert is on my "bucket list". But I guess her new show will have to do for now.
