Twain is the world’s best selling female country artist of all time and has been absent from the spotlight in recent years but gradually emerging back into the spotlight. She recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has her memoir “From This Moment On” climbing the New York Times Best Sellers list and her docu-series called “Why Not? With Shania Twain” on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network debuted May 8.

The superstar made quite the impression on June 8 during the 2011 CMT Music Awards. She announced the winner of Male Video of the Year and experienced something most people fear, she fell on her way to the stage! Exhibiting her resilience, she picked herself up, donned a smile and proceeded to the stage.

“Mister, Mister,  Mister Bubble!” C’mon, you remember that little jingle back in the day. Guess what? America’s favorite bath time buddy celebrated his 50th birthday on June 11, 2011, in Minneapolis, Minn., at the Water Park of America.

“Turning 50 only happens once in a career,” says Fran Klisanich, President and CEO of The Village Company, parent company of Mr. Bubble, “Mr. Bubble wants to celebrate this milestone with a big splash.”

Boasting an 11-foot high by 16-foot wide and 2,800-square foot bubble bath, without a doubt, was the world’s largest bubble bath.  Both children and parents were invited to soak, splash and even try the water park’s FlowRider surf simulator. Rumor has it at the young age of 50, Mr. Bubble was even planning to hang 10 for fans.

Guests enjoyed a sculptured Mr. Bubble birthday cake, a bubble beard contest and meet and greet with Mr. Bubble for their Facebook page. Limited edition Mr. Bubble memorabilia was handed out to partygoers throughout the day.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bubble. Thank you for bringing fun into the tub.
