Personal life

2010-06-25T16:08:00.000-07:00

Alanis Morisette 's Personal life
During 1993, Alanis Morissette dated Dave Coulier of television's Full House fame. Apparently the relationship became strained because of the couple's work schedules.

Between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, Alanis Morissette suffered from anorexia and bulimia nervosa, which were catalysed by "hardcore" professional pressure and managerial demands from her work towards making her first album. She recalled returning to the studio to re-record some vocals, only to be told that the person who summoned her there wanted to discuss her weight, and that she couldn't be successful if she was fat. She lived on a diet of carrots, black coffee and Melba toast, and her weight fluctuated fifteen to twenty pounds. She subsequently began therapy, which she called "a long process to un-program [my brain]. I try to remember, whatever my body is, it's perfect the way it is".

By mid-2004, Alanis Morissette had become an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church, a religious organization that offers anyone semi-immediate ordination as a minister free of charge.

In 2002 alanis Morissette began dating actor Ryan Reynolds. In June 2004, Morissette announced her engagement. In June 2006, People magazine reported that Morissette and Reynolds had split, but neither party confirmed the report. The following month, a source said that they were together. Contact Music reported that their split was a "rumour" and they were pictured holding hands in Los Angeles. In February 2007, representatives for Morissette and Reynolds announced that they had mutually decided to end their engagement. In 2007–2009 Alanis Morissette dated environmental lawyer Tom Ballanco.

Alanis Morissette began dating rapper Mario "MC Souleye" Treadway in October 2009. They wed on May 22, 2010.

In her May 2004 interview to the British newspaper The Mirror she discussed her past relationships, having dated a twenty-nine year-old man at age fourteen and, briefly, her experiences with drugs. In the article, she was quoted as saying: "My addictions were work and food. I smoked pot once in a while, but I'm too much of a control freak to be a drug person".

In February 2005, Alanis Morissette became a naturalized citizen of the United States while maintaining her Canadian citizenship. Morissette refers to herself as a Canadian-American.

In a Rolling Stone interview she revealed that she was going to spend 2006 working on a memoir. She said of her book, "it will be all the wisdom I've accrued in the thirty-one years of my life [...] A lot about relationships, fame, travel, body-image issues, spirit — with a lot of self-deprecating humor peppered throughout, 'cause I just can't help it". As of May 2008, Morissette was halfway through writing this memoir that will focus on women's issues. It will have chapters on sexuality, beauty, relationships and work and was partially inspired by young women who regularly come up to her and tell her their stories of personal pain.

In early 2009, after reading Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book Eat to Live, Morissette adopted a vegan diet which helped her lose weight and get healthy.

In the autumn of 2009 Alanis Morissette ran the Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon (October 11, 2009) in 4:17:03. She raised over $3,000 for the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) for this race. Three weeks later, she ran the New York City Marathon (November 1, 2009) in 4:28:45.

Acting career

2010-05-25T02:51:00.000-07:00

Alanis Morisette 's Acting career
In 1986, Morissette had her first stint as an actress: eighteen episodes of the children's television show You Can't Do That on Television. She appeared on stage with the Orpheus Musical Theatre Society in 1985 and 1988.

In 1993, she appeared in the film Just One of the Girls starring Corey Haim, which she described as "horrible".

In 1999, Morissette delved into acting again, for the first time since 1993, appearing as God in the Kevin Smith comedy Dogma and contributing the song "Still" to its soundtrack. She would later reprise the role of God at the end of Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. She also appeared in the hit HBO comedies Sex and the City and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and appeared in the play The Vagina Monologues.

In late 2003, Morissette appeared in the off-Broadway play The Exonerated as Sunny Jacobs, a death row inmate freed after proof surfaced that she was innocent. In April 2006, MTV News reported that Morissette would reprise her role in The Exonerated in London from 23 May until 28 May.

She expanded her acting credentials with the July 2004 release of the Cole Porter biographical film De-Lovely, in which she performed the song "Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)" and had a brief role as an anonymous stage performer. In February 2005, she made a guest appearance on the Canadian television show Degrassi: The Next Generation with Dogma co-star Jason Mewes and director Kevin Smith.

In 2006, she guest starred in an episode of Lifetime's Lovespring International as a homeless woman named Lucinda, three episodes of FX's Nip/Tuck, playing a lesbian named Poppy, and the mockumentary/documentary Pittsburgh as herself.

It was announced on Morissette's website that she will be starring in a film adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel Radio Free Albemuth. Morissette will play Sylvia, an ordinary woman in unexpected remission from lymphoma. She said she was a "big fan" of Dick's books, which she called "poetic and expansively imaginative", and said she "feel[s] blessed to portray Sylvia, and to be part of this story being told in film".

It was announced in May 2009 that Morissette had been cast in at least seven episodes of Weeds, playing Dr. Audra Kitson, a "no-nonsense obstetrician" who treats pregnant main character Nancy Botwin. These episodes aired from June to August 2009.

In early 2010 Morissette returned to the stage, performing a one night engagement in An Oak Tree, an experimental play in Los Angeles. The performance was a sell out. In april 2010 Morissette was confirmed in the cast of Weeds season six, performing again her role as Dr. Audra Kitson.

Alanis Morissette - I Remain (Prince of Persia Soundtrack) + Lyrics

LYRICS

How crass you stand before me
With no blood to fuel your fame
How dare you wield such flippancy
Without requisite shame
Your very existence becomes my sacred missions bane
You bow to kiss my hand and I ignore the ignited flame

How I moved to meet you
Untouched I do remain

To some it seems foreign
Why I would steely forge ahead
This land entrusted to me knows not of hallowed secrets
I'll keep it to myself
My own advicement in my head
Your charm can not distract me
From the path I'm born to tread

How I'm thrilled to know you
Uanffected I remain
How I've learned to like you
Undeterred I do remain

Less daunting as team
You, unlikely king by my side
And me, so much better for trusting you
My hand over your heart
While you keep hindrances at bay
Color me surprised by how our union saves the day

How I've grown to need you
As my soul just need faith
How I love to know you
And how I remain
I remain (x6)

1 Giant Leap performing "Arrival"...

2010-03-25T01:30:00.000-07:00

Alanis Morissette 's seventh studio album, Flavors of Entanglement, which was produced by Guy Sigsworth, was released in mid 2008. She has stated that in late 2008, she would embark on a North American headlining tour, but in the meantime she would be promoting the album internationally by performing at shows and festivals and making television and radio appearances. The album's first single was "Underneath", a video for which was submitted to the 2007 Elevate Film Festival, the purpose of which festival was to create documentaries, music videos, narratives and shorts regarding subjects to raise the level of human consciousness on the earth. On 3 October 2008, Morissette released the video for her latest single, "Not as We".

Recently, Morissette has contributed to 1 Giant Leap, performing "Arrival" with Zap Mama and she has released an acoustic version of her song "Still" as part of a compilation from Music for Relief in support of the 2010 Haiti earthquake crisis. Morissette has also recorded a cover of the 1984 Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias hit, "To All the Girls I've Loved Before", re-written as "To All the Boys I've Loved Before". Nelson played rhythm guitar on the recording.

Ironic

As a few people have said, almost nothing in this entire song is actually ironic. And she's singing a song about irony. That's kind of...Anyway, most of these things aren't ironic, they're just really crappy luck.

But yeah, if you want a version that really is accurate about things that are ironic, look at the collegehumor "Actually Ironic" parody.

Yes it is ironic... it is when you are planning to do something and its not becoming how you want.. you think, wow isn't it ironic that life's like that ;)

The following June 2007, Alanis Morisette performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "O Canada", the American and Canadian national anthems, in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Ottawa Senators and the Anaheim Ducks in Ottawa, Ontario.

In early 2008, she participated in a tour with Matchbox Twenty and MUTEMATH as a special guest.

Alanis Morissette - Not as we... This is Alanis new song, first time she performs it, I believe it's called "not as we". This was recorded at Hotel Cafe in LA at the nightwatchman (Tom Morello) CD release party, I flew from Costa Rica for the show.

Alanis Morissette did not take any interviews for a time to explain My Hump song, and it was theorized that Alanis Morissette did it as an April Fools' Day joke. Black Eyed Peas vocalist Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson responded by sending Morissette a buttocks-shaped cake with an approving note.

My Humps - Alanis Morissette - Atlantic CIty 2/15/08

On the verge of the release of her latest album, Alanis Morisette finally elaborated on how the video came to be, citing that Alanis Morissette became very much emotionally loaded while recording her new songs one after the other and one day she wished she could do a simple song like "My Humps" in a conversation with Guy Sigsworth and the joke just took a life of its own when they started working on it.

For the 1st time in her career, Alanis Morissette took on the role of sole writer and producer of an album. Morissette's band, comprising Joel Shearer, Nick Lashley, Chris Chaney, and Gary Novak, played the majority of the instruments; additional contributions came from Eric Avery, Dean DeLeo, Flea, and Meshell Ndegeocello. Shortly after recording the album Morissette essentially fired this whole band by proposing a huge pay cut (at least 50% for most members) while offering the drummer, Gary Novak, a slightlty smaller pay cut but an increase in work and responsibility. This effectivley ended the band as it was, and an entirely new band was hired shortly after, featuring Jason Orme, Zac Rae, David Levita, and Blair Sinta, who have been with her since.

Alanis Morissette's Album, Under Rug Swept debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, eventually going platinum in Canada and selling 1 million copies in the United States It produced the hit single "Hands Clean," which topped the Canadian Singles Chart and received substantial radio play; for her work on "Hands Clean" and "So Unseexy," Morissette won a Juno Award for Producer of the Year.

Alanis Morissette-Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie Success

2009-08-17T07:51:00.000-07:00

"Alanis Morissette-Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie Success"

Alanis Morissette was featured as a guest vocalist on Ringo Starr's cover of "Drift Away" on his 1998 album, Vertical Man, and on the songs "Don't Drink the Water" and "Spoon" on the Dave Matthews Band album Before These Crowded Streets. Alanis Morissette recorded the song "Uninvited" for the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Although the track was never commercially released as a single, it received widespread radio airplay in the U.S. At the 1999 Grammy Awards, it won in the categories of Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, and was nominated for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. Later in 1998, Alanis Morissette released her 4th album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, which Alanis Morissette wrote and produced with Glen Ballard. Most of the tracks, including "Would Not Come" and "Unsent", challenged traditional song formulas: they included one-chord drone melodies and Morissette singing over letter-like prose texts; some songs lacked choruses or took a long time to reach them.

Privately, the label hoped to sell a million copies of Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie album on initial release; instead, it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 469,000 copies—a record, at the time, for the highest first-week sales of an album by a female artist. The wordy, personal lyrics on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie alienated many fans, and after the album sold considerably less than Jagged Little Pill, many labelled it an example of the sophomore jinx. However, it received positive reviews, including a four-star review from Rolling Stone. In Canada, it won the Juno Award for Best Album and was certified four times platinum. "Thank U", the album's only major international hit single, was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance; the music video, which featured "Alanis Morissette" nade, generated mild controversy. "Alanis Morissette" herself directed the videos for "Unsent" and "So Pure", which won, respectively, the MuchMusic Video Award for Best Director and the Juno Award for Video of the Year. The "So Pure" video features actor Dash Mihok, with whom Morissette was in a relationship at the time.

On the verge of the release of Alanis Morissette latest album, Alanis Morissette finally elaborated on how the video came to be, citing that Alanis Morissette became very much emotionally loaded while recording her new songs one after the other and one day Alanis Morissette wished she could do a simple song like "My Humps" in a conversation with Guy Sigsworth and the joke just took a life of its own when they started working on it.

Narnia - Wunderkind (by Alanis Morissette)

Above Video about The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe

ALANIS MORISSETTE LYRICS
"Wunderkind"

Oh perilous place walk backwards toward you
Blink disbelieving eyes chilled to the bone
Most visibly brave no aprehended gloom
First to take this foot to virgin snow

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
And I lift the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to serve, destined to roam

Oh ominous place spellbound and unchild-proofed
My least favorite chill to bare alone
Compatriots in place they'd cringe if I told you
Our best back-pocket secret our bond full-blown

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a pioneer naive enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to seek, destined to know

Most beautiful place reborn and blown off roof
My view about-face whether great will be done

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a ground-breaker naive enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a Joan of Arc and smart enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam

Alanis Morissette - Crazy This song originally by Seal has been recorded by Alanis Morissette in 2005 to promote her Greatest-Hits-album "The Collection".

A limited edition of The Collection features a DVD including a documentary with videos of two unreleased songs from Morissette's 1996 Can't Not Tour: "King of Intimidation" and "Can't Not."

Alanis Morissette So-Called Chaos

2004-05-30T06:13:00.000-07:00

Alanis Morissette hosted the Juno Awards of 2004 dressed in a bathrobe, which Alanis Morissette took off to reveal a flesh-coloured bodysuit, a response to the era of censorship in the United States caused by Janet Jackson's breast-reveal incident during the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show. She released her 6th studio album, So-Called Chaos, in May 2004.

Alanis Morissette wrote the songs on her own again, and co-produced the album with Tim Thorney and pop music producer John Shanks. So-Called Chaos album debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart to generally mixed critical reviews, and it became Morissette's lowest seller in the U.S. The lead single, "Everything", achieved major success on adult top fourty radio in America and was moderately popular elsewhere, particularly in Canada, although it failed to reach the top forty on the U.S. Hot 100. Because the 1st line of the song includes the word asshole, American radio stations refused to play it, and the single version was changed to include the word nightmare instead. 2 other singles, "Out Is Through" and "Eight Easy Steps", fared considerably worse commercially than "Everything", although a dance mix of "Eight Easy Steps" was a U.S. club hit.

Alanis Morissette embarked on a U.S. summer tour w/ long-time friends & fellow Canadians Barenaked Ladies, working w/ the non-profit environmental organization Reverb.
