It’s already turning out to be a heck of a year for Shania Twain.

The country gal from Timmins, Ontario, kicked off 2010 by running the Olympic torch through her hometown, and next week she’ll be one of the featured guest judges on “American Idol,” when it returns for its ninth season on Fox.

But before that, she’ll be interviewing Queen Rania of Jordan on CBC Radio on Friday. According to her Web site, Shania will guest host the CBC’s “The Current” radio show and is going to ask the Jordanian queen about her global charity for underprivileged youth, 1Goal.

The show will air at 8:30 a.m., EST. You can click here to listen live.

There were 533 Canadians included among the more than 5,000 people who were roundly dumped by the social networking site BeautifulPeople.com, the Web site announced Monday.

The site, which relies on existing users to rate the looks of other members, said that too many people indulged in holiday meals and it was forced to take action.

“As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld,” BeautifulPeople.com founder Robert Hintze said in the release. “Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”

Canada was third on the list of countries with the most expelled members, behind the United States and the United Kingdom.

“Canada has been one of the worst offenders,” Greg Hodge, managing director of BeautifulPeople.com, told the National Post. “It’s the eating, the drinking, the sitting on the couch watching TV — that entire culture. Canada also has the added excuse of it being extremely cold, so people are wearing baggy clothes and don’t mind letting themselves go a bit over the winter months.”

The stunt appears to be one intended to draw attention to the site, and it’s working. Entry to BeautifulPeople.com is only possible after passing a democratic rating process, where members of the opposite sex vote ‘Yes definitely’, ‘Hmm yes, O.K’, ‘Hmm no, not really’ and ‘NO Definitely NOT’ based on photographs and a brief profile submitted by new applicants.

Country sensation and Canadian cutie Shania Twain will be running the Olympic torch through her hometown of Timmins, Ontario, tonight as the torch continues its journey to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, which kick off next month.

Twain asked fans on her Web site to follow her run of the torch live online (click here to see it), and wrote back in October that it was an “immense honour” to have been asked to participate.

“It is certain to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life,” she wrote. “I am proud to have been presented this unique opportunity and privilege and look forward to sharing the pride with my hometown and fellow Canadians as we are all proud of our country’s chance to host the upcoming winter games.”

The Canadian Press reports that despite protests that took place when the torch went through southern Ontario last month, Olympic officials say there are no signs of any demonstrations planned for Timmins on Friday and they don’t plan on boosting security when Twain carries the flame.
