As Shania Twain was coming up with song ideas for a new album, she wanted to create something to uplift her own mood.The COVID-19 pandemic had just hit, and as she was hunkered down at home, she felt inspired to “put a little up in my giddy,” said Twain during a recent phone interview.The end result was the single “Giddy Up!” off of her sixth studio album, “Queen of Me,” which dropped earlier this year. It’s an upbeat, country dance-pop tune, drenched in feel-good vibes that gave Twain her first Top 10 single in years.“It was a way to cheer me up,” Twain said of the track ahead of her Queen of Me Tour coming to the Shoreline Amphitheatre on Friday.Shania Twain (pictured during her tour opener at Spokane Arena in Spokane, Washington on April 28, 2023) will bring her Queen of Me Tour to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Sunday, May 28 and Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert Wednesday, May 31.

Terry McDermott, who won the only gold medal for the United States at the 1964 Winter Olympics, has died. He was 82.U.S. Speedskating said in a statement posted on social media Monday that McDermott died early Saturday surrounded by his family. It did not immediately specify where the Michigan native died or give a cause.McDermott was an apprentice barber and unheralded figure on the speedskating scene when he stunningly won the 500-meter event at the Innsbruck Games, upsetting two-time reigning Olympic champion Yevgeny Grishin of the Soviet Union by a half-second.“The Cold War was going on and it carried over into the Olympics. The Russians came along in ’56 and dominated every sport. It was awful hard to beat them in anything,” McDermott said in a 2010 interview with MLive Media Group. “So, going against them, you tried a little harder.”McDermott’s gold was the only victory by any U.S. athletes at the Innsbruck Games.

MILAN (AP) — A bad day for Juventus turned worse when a 4-1 loss at Empoli on Monday saw its hopes of qualifying for the Champions League implode.Before kickoff, Juventus was hit by a 10-point penalty for false accounting. That dropped the club to seventh in Serie A, five points behind fourth-placed AC Milan. Juve hosts Milan next weekend in one of its final two matches.“It was a mental collapse which is normal after a surreal season,” Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said. “At this point it’s enough, it’s one thing after the other. They (league organizers) need to decide once and for all where we are.“The guys did their best. It’s not an excuse, but finding yourself with 10 points less, a quarter of an hour before the match is at least mitigating circumstances. It’s been a really tiring year, always going back and forth. And on the field, we’re second.”Another route into the Champions League ended last week in a loss to Sevilla after extra time in their Europa League semifinal.D...Newcastle qualifies for Champions League for first time in 20 years

NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Newcastle qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years after drawing with Leicester 0-0 in the English Premier League on Monday, a milestone moment for a Saudi-controlled club with the resources and ambition to become a major force in European soccer.The point ensured Newcastle cannot be denied a top-four finish heading into its final game of the season, at Chelsea on Sunday.Leicester’s campaign-closing game has far more riding on it, with the team still in the relegation zone and needing a win at home to West Ham to avoid falling into the second-tier Championship — seven years after winning the Premier League at preseason odds of 5,000-1 in a sporting fairytale.Newcastle swarmed all over Leicester at St. James’ Park, hitting the post on three occasions — through Callum Wilson, Miguel Almiron and Bruno Guimaraes — and forcing a series of saves from goalkeeper Daniel Iversen.Still, it was job done for Newcastle, which was last in Europe’...Golden Knights keep rallying, lead Stars 2-0 with NHL West final moving to Dallas

DALLAS (AP) — The Golden Knights certainly know how to rally when they have fallen behind in these NHL playoffs because it has happened so much.“We’ve got a thick skin,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. “It’s veteran guys that know that one goal, getting scored on first, shouldn’t dictate the rest of the game.”Even though the Knights have trailed in 11 of their 13 games this postseason, including 10 times when the opposing team scored first, they have a 2-0 series lead over Dallas in the Western Conference Final. The Stars, who scored first in both of those road games before losing in overtime, host Game 3 on Tuesday night.“Just trying to stick with our game,” Vegas center Jack Eichel said. “You know you’re not going to be your best every night. But some nights when you’re not at your best, you find ways to win hockey games. … You just keep working and you hope you get a bounce or someone makes a play.”That was true Sunday in Game 2, when Eichel’s ...Autopsy finds ‘severe neglect’ to blame for man’s death in bedbug-infested Georgia jail cell

ATLANTA (AP) — A man who died in a bedbug-infested cell in a Georgia jail’s psychiatric wing “died due to severe neglect,” according to an independent autopsy released Monday by lawyers for his family.Lashawn Thompson, 35, died in September, three months after he was booked into the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. Public outrage over his death spread last month after a lawyer for his family, Michael Harper, released photos of Thompson’s face and body covered in insects.“Mr. Thompson was neglected to death,” says the autopsy report written by Dr. Roger A. Mitchell Jr., a former chief medical examiner in Washington, D.C., who is now a professor and chair of the pathology department at Howard University College of Medicine.The independent autopsy report lists the cause of death as “Complications due to Severe Neglect,” with “Untreated Decompensated Schizophrenia” identified as a contributing cause.

DENVER (KDVR) — With multiple days of smoke and bad air quality, many people may be feeling the effects on their eyes, throat or lungs."I've got little kids in the house, and they've got allergies and asthma," said John Hicks, the operations manager at Brother's Plumbing Heating and Electric in Denver. You can now identify yourself with your palm at Coors Field To help protect them, Hicks replaced his standard air filter in his home with a polarized media filter."It looks like a standard filter, but it's plugged in, it's got high voltage to it, and it's able to attract all this stuff to the filter," he said.Other people may use air purifiers for their homes, but some only work in small spaces.Which mask works best for smoky air?Dr. Anthony Gerber, a pulmonologist at National Jewish Health, said, "Most folks will put it in their bedroom, but again it has to be a HEPA filter and it has to be matched to the size of the space you are filtering."Gerber said the people most at risk in t...Latest news
