People Magazine reported earlier this week that singer Shania Twain is engaged to Swiss businessman Frederic Thiebaud. Back in 2008, Shania and then-husband Robert "Mutt" Lange split after he was allegedly having an affair with Thiebaud's wife.
Let's hope the second time around for Shania will be the charm. Here's a video of her performing a Christmas song on the "Today" show back in 1998. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

If you're an Oprah fan, you no doubt look forward to her yearly list of "Favorite Things." Alas, all good things must come to an end. This year, we bid farewell to the "Oprah Winfrey Show" and her luxey list. But before her show signs off, Oprah has unveiled her list of "Ultimate Favorite Things." In the spirit of list-making, they've compiled a select list of Oprah's own ultimate faves. And if Oprah likes 'em, it's pretty much a given that those who receive these items will like them, too.

From GizmodoRockefeller Center switched on its towering holiday gift to New York: a 74-foot spruce draped with 30,000 lights and 5 miles of wire. But New York's tree is not actually the biggest or the brightest on the block.
If you're looking for the tallest tree in America, visit Phoenix. Looking for the heaviest? Hitch a ride on over to San Francisco. Well surely, the brightest tree must be in the Big Apple, right? Nuh uh: Salt Lake City. In fact, despite its undeniably awesomeness, the only superlative that New York's Norway Spruce can rightfully own is that it uses the most electricity. Click on the image above for a supersized, super-in-depth view of the Nation's most favored pines.
