Alanis Morissette Says She Dropped Out Of A Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Performance Because Of Sexism From The Production Team
Alanis Morrisette was supposed to perform with Olivia Rodrigo this past Saturday evening at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. But Alanis ended up skipping the whole thing even though she participated in rehearsals. Now, Alanis says that the reason she skipped the event is because of some good old-fashioned sexism from the production team. Damn, you do not want to piss off an Alanis Morissette type; she will write an iconic revenge album about you and make you reassess your life choices.
Dave Coulier Shared His First Thoughts Upon Hearing Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know”
Back in the 90s, those of us who watched Full House on a Friday night for our dose of campy family wholesomeness didn’t realize that the zany, seemingly unfuckable Uncle Joey Gladstone was played by an actor who left the set after a long day of having his hand up a woodchuck puppet’s ass to go get his wang mouthified in a movie theater by our favorite new angsty artist, Alanis Morissette. But, after Uncle Joey, née Dave Coulier, first heard Alanis’ breakout 1995 hit, You Oughta Know, he realized that after the dissolution of their two-year relationship, he might be the guy who made some of the “mess” she was singing about.
Alanis Morissette Says She Won’t Support The “Salacious” New HBO Documentary About “Jagged Little Pill”
There’s a new HBO documentary about Alanis Morissette’s iconic 1995 album Jagged Little Pill, AKA Fuck You, Uncle Joey! The Alison Klayman-directed feature Jagged debuted last night at the Toronto International Film Festival, and while Alanis agreed to be interviewed for the movie, she didn’t attend the premiere. On Monday, the director told Deadline that it would be great if Alanis could be there, “but I’m so grateful for all the time that she did put into making this film.”
Now Alanis is elaborating to Deadline on why she didn’t show up. She claims the filmmakers had their own “salacious agenda,” they interviewed her during a “very vulnerable time” (she was dealing with her third round of postpartum depression during the pandemic), and the doc includes “implications and facts that are simply not true.” Alanis says she won’t be supporting the film. Ooo, she’s pissed. Maybe so pissed that she’ll write an angsty album about the experience? Alanistans can only hope!
Alanis Morrisette’s Kids Are Unschooled
Alanis Morissette has made a seamless transition from 90s Canadian alternative queen to alternative mama type. So none of us should be shocked to learn that the mother of children named Ever, Onyx, and Winter and a father who goes by the nickname Souleye would be the type to skip conventional education in favor of an informal learning practice called “unschooling.” And she recently explained what exactly unschooling looks like at her house during an interview with Health magazine.
Alanis Morissette, Liz Phair, And Garbage Are Going On Tour This Summer
Well, well, well. Isn’t it ironic that Alanis Morissette is going on tour this summer? Why is it ironic? No one knows. Certainly not Alanis. But it’s true! Alanis Morissette, Liz Phair, and Garbage are going on tour this summer. Myself and every 90s angsty teen who had girl/boy drama is living for this tour. The next few months will be spent getting our flannels or short shiny dresses ready, dusting off those Doc Martins and reviving our rage at Uncle Joey from Full House for breaking Alanis’s heart AFTER SHE WENT DOWN ON HIM IN A THEATRE.
A “Jagged Little Pill” Musical Will Happen In 2018
The Hollywood Reporter says that Jagged Little Pill the musical (which totally sounds like a joke from The Critic) will have its world premiere at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA in May 2018. It’s been in the works since 2013. It will feature songs from Jagged Little Pill as well as melodies lifted from Alanis’ other albums. The book was written by Diablo Cody, and it will be directed by Diane Paulus. THR says it will be a multi-generational family story that touches on “issues of gender identity and race,” and Alanis said this:
“This team that has come together for this Jagged Little Pill musical is my musical theater dream come true. The chemistry between all of us is crackling and I feel honored to be diving into these songs again, surrounded by all of this searing talent. Diablo and Diane are already taking these deeply personal songs that are part of my soul’s marrow to a whole other level of hope, freedom and complexity.”
They hope to take Jagged Little Pill to Broadway, but that sort of depends on how well it does in Cambridge first.
I’m really bummed the story won’t be based off the subject matter of Jagged Little Pill and all its scandalous Dave Coulier lore. And can you even really call it a Jagged Little Pill musical if Act 1 doesn’t end with all four Alanises from the Ironic video belting it out in the rain in front of a kick line of dancers dressed as flies, cigarettes, lottery tickets, and spoons?
