Happy 2010

Last Friday night in Timmins, Ontario, Shania Twain braved the below freezing temperatures to carry the Olympic torch through her old stomping grounds. She took the flame the last 400 yards to Hollinger Park where she lit it in the Olympic cauldron . Shania’s dash is part of the torch’s journey to Vancouver for the Winter Olympics that kick off February 12th. It was so cold outside – 16 below zero – that when red beach balls were tossed into the crowd to celebrate, they fell apart in a matter of seconds. "I know that sounds crazy, but it wouldn't be Timmins if it wasn't 40 below with the wind chill factor!" she said.

Country stars find the most interesting charity endeavors. If you’re around New York City Times Square anytime soon and need to use the restroom, you can take care of things with the help of Martina McBride. She and several other celebs have designed toilet seat lids for Charmin Restrooms, a stunt is for the company’s Go For Good campaign. For every patron at the free New York City Times Square location, Charmin will give a buck (and up to 10-thousand dollars) to the star’s favorite non-profit organization.
