Rick Rubin threw an under-the-radar festival in Tuscany last weekend

Shania Twain, 58, entertained crowds at Glastonbury as she graced the Pyramid Stage in the coveted Legends slot, but many viewers at home watching were all left with the same complaint.The country sensation opened her set to thousands of excited fans with her classic hit That Don't Impress Me Much. Yet, those tuning in from their sofas were less than impressed as they took to social media to plead with festival chiefs to up their game on the sound quality front.

But in short, a series I didn't really think I'd care for at all happened to be the most pleasant surprise and perfect for summer.If you loved Eva Longoria in Desperate Housewives, then .
