Shania Twain had a full-circle moment at her show in Toronto on Sunday. She brought up a fan named Daniela, 22 years after bringing her up to sing a song as a KID. Best part: Daniela said that moment on stage in 2001 inspired her to study music, and now she’s an opera singer.

Long before Luke Bryan became a judge on “American Idol” . . . he was a kid judging his neighbors’ Halloween candy. Quote, “You can find out a lot about your neighbors by what kind of candy they put out. “Full Snickers bars, that’s [good] and so is Reese’s cups. [But] the old chocolate popcorn ball of stuff, that’s no good.” Adding, “You get Dots one time a year and they pull your teeth.”
