It's been almost 15 years since Alanis Morissette 's Jagged Little Pill , now ridden with 90's nostalgia, caught our attention and made us ogle at its clever use of witticism alongside aggression. While this album greatly affected the masses, its influence over the Generation Y babies was overwhelming; at the time, most were experiencing their destructive post-adolescent stage of rebellion. And for those of us that now share this in common, we will most likely never relinquish this album from our collections because of its ultimate significance in shaping each and every one of our lives.

This time she's turning to the '80s to cover the Top 10 Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias hit, ' To All the Girls I've Loved Before .' Featuring Nelson on rhythm guitar, Morissette's version will switch genders and be called 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before.' "It's less cheeky and it's [...]
Apparently done for the time being with haphazardly matching her rambling poetry to Indian-infused music, Alanis Morissette is writing a book. Something tells us we don't have to worry about the introspective pop star utilizing a ghostwriter, as can often happen with certain other celebrity-"written" books . According to Spinner , spiritual singer Morissette's non-fiction tome won't be a straight-up autobiography, but a collection of essays, anecdotes and thoughts. Says Alanis: "It's really turned out to be a very philosophical, non-precious, photograph, travelogue, essays [...]
Alanis Morissette already boasts both singer-songwriter and actor on her resume, and now she can soon add author to her impressive list of credits. Morissette is nearing completion of her first book, which has a deadline of this spring. How would she describe the as-yet-untitled tome? "It's really turned out to be a very philosophical, non-precious, photograph, travelogue, essays -- a little ADD," Morissette tells Spinner. "It's all over the place, but there's a linear pathway throughout it all. It's kind of my fantasy book, the kind of book I wish I could read all the [...]
Toronto songstress Darrelle London gave up law school for a shot at a music career. There's no doubt that she's got both the smarts and the talent! She describes artists like Joel Plaskett , Lily Allen , and Alanis Morissette as her influences. At first listen her songs sound cute, innocent, and delicate. Darrelle 's more than that though. Her whimsical and witty lyrics sang with confidence to those catchy melodies on the piano give us music with the spunk of Lily Allen and words reminiscent of Alanis Morissette. [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Alanis Morissette will play an intimate acoustic gig Thursday, Dec. 10, along with Greg Laswell and others at L.A.'s Troubadour to benefit Live Arts Group, a non-profit organization that brings arts to homeless and at-risk children. Like many performers, Morissette says the smaller venues are her favorite gigs.

Alanis Morissette uses cannabis to inspire her writing : "As an artist, there's a sweet jump-starting quality to [marijuana] for me. I've often felt telepathic and receptive to inexplicable messages my whole life. I can stave those off when I'm not high. When I'm high -- well, they come in and there's less of a veil, so to speak. So if ever I need some clarity ... or a quantum leap in terms of writing something, it's a quick way for me to get to it." Having been told that without cannabis, Alanis Morissette might [...]
Filed under: News , Holy Hell If her stint on ' Weeds ' wasn't enough of a hint, Alanis Morissette openly pledged her love for marijuana in a new interview with High Times.

Yesterday we brought you the Top 5 Pop Stars Who Should Never Act Again , where, miraculously, Mariah Carey was kept off the list because of her work in Precious . (Okay, her part only lasts two scenes and she sat at a desk the whole time, but progress is progress.) Unfortunately, she's still not quite skilled enough to make today's list of pop singers who have proven they've actually got some acting chops. 5. Mandy Moore We can't believe the girl whose biggest hit was "Candy" in 1999 is [...]
Filed under: Video , The Hit List Ever since 'Weird Al' Yankovic instructed the public to ' Eat It ,' music videos have been ripe for mockery. And rightly so: The line between hip and hilarious is a fine one, indeed. For comedians, the rabid pursuit of cool on constant display in music videos is easy pickings. And maybe it's because comics secretly want to be pop stars, but some of the [...]
Facciamo marcia indietro. Ricordate quando annunciammo che il nuovo singolo di Giusy Ferreri sarebbe stato una cover di "Ironic"? Bene: dimenticate quanto detto perchè a quanto pare la canzone apripista del nuovo album della cantante, dal titolo "Fotografie" (in uscita il 20 novembre), sarà tutt'altra cover. Secondo quanto riportato dal sito di Mtv , la scelta sembra essere caduta sul celebre pezzo di Rino Gaetano dal titolo " Il Cielo E' Sempre Più Blu " il quale sarà in rotazione radiofonica a partire dal 23 ottobre. Si è presa [...]
A humble message to Depeche Mode 's tour manager -- perhaps frontman Dave Gahan needs a little geography refresher whilst out on the road? Gahan managed to put his foot in it in front of 30,000 Peruvian fans during the band's show in the country's capital Lima on Tuesday night when he yelled out "Thank you very much, Chile!" It's a little more serious than getting the name of a mid-Western city wrong; Peru and Chile went to war with each other in the 19th Century, and as recently as 2006 a dispute [...]
You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette 1995 - Live at the Nulles Part Ailleurs I miss the rage in this one. No doubt, I love her as a mature woman, all maternal, eco-friendly, and yoga-ey. But I loved you crazy. It's sexy. Thank you, Dave Coulier. You were a wonderful muse.
Finalmente i dettagli relativo al nuovo album di cover di Giusy Ferreri incominciano a farsi più chiari. Adesso siamo venuti a conoscenza di quello che sarà il primo singolo, quello apripista che darà il via a questa nuova era di rivisitazione dei grandi pezzi della musica mondiale riadattati in italiano dal guru Tiziano Ferro . Ebbene: a rompere il ghiaccio sarà "E' Solo Ironia", rifacimento della più famosa " Ironic " della grande Alanis Morissette . personalmente vedo "Gaetana" molto adatta per questo tipo di pezzo: ovviamente sarà di [...]

We just didn't think, you know, she actually does . Next Quote
