You can hardly blame Shania Twain for wanting to get rid of the shoes that tripped her up when she fell during the 2011 CMT Video Music Awards ceremony in June — and you’ve got to hand it to her for raising some money for a good cause in the process.

With more than 60 million albums' worth of worldwide sales to her name, Twain certainly knows a thing or two about what it takes to achieve commercial success -- and just as Lopez was emerging from a recording lull in the months leading up to her joining the 'Idol' team, Twain is preparing to end a long musical hiatus.
