Shania Twain is Nobody's Plan B

Shania Twain is the real deal

As long as I'm risking humiliation and infamy by linking to TMZ, why not push it?

"American Idol" sources tell TMZ ... the Jennifer Lopez deal isn't dead yet, but if it does flatline ... "Idol's" next choice is country star Shania Twain.
Shania was a hit on "Idol" this past season when she served as guest judge and mentor.

We're told Shania is Plan B.

Shania Twain should publicly and privately be the first choice, not the "plan B." Jennifer Lopez cannot open or carry a film and she has, what? Six legitimate cinematic bombs on her resume now?

Did you know Miss Lopez put out a film this year? Did you see it? Of course not. No one goes to see a Jennifer Lopez film, save Jennifer Lopez, her husband, and the hired help. It's pathetic and sad. At some point, these three people won't be making films anymore: Jennifer Lopez, Woody Allen, and Steve Carell. Oh, sure. Popular folks. Talented folks. Just, please...please! A Woody Allen film starring Steve Carell might send me over the brink, especially if Jennifer Lopez plays his long-suffering but witty girlfriend who happens to be a ghost living in Woody's apartment building.

Where the devil was I?

If Shania and her people get wind of this sort of thing, expect her to gently decline. The lady is the personification of show business royalty. She has middle America wrapped around her finger. People will tune in just to hear Shania be pleasant. That housewife who didn't want to have anything to do with American Idol last year because of all of the "freaky" people? Yes, well, she'll go out and get a damned DVR just to make sure that she doesn't miss Shania Twain, sir.  (celebritydisaster)
