Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Alanis Morissette Has Been Sad :(

You’d be sad, too, if you and your fiance broke up and then like two seconds later he was engaged to a girl ten years younger than you who’s releasing an album of Tom Waits covers.

“I took a break over the past two and half years. I was tending to my personal life,” says Alanis. During that time, she says she hit “rock bottom” due to “a personal unraveling of significant relationships in my life.”

A “personal unraveling of significant relationships“? What does that even mean, Alanis? Like, if you’d been talking about an “unraveling of significant personal relationships” or a “personal unraveling due to problems in significant relationships,” I’d get it. But what exactly does a “personal unraveling” mean in this context? See, now, you’re just juxtaposing evocative words to make yourself sound like an angsty poet. This is annoying, and possibly even more so than recording an entire album of Tom Waits covers. Just so you know.

Alanis has a new album coming out June 10, called Flavors of Entanglement, which supposedly “chronicles the rock bottom finally being hit.”

She had no comment on Ryan Reynolds’ recent engagement to Scarlett Johansson.

  • I’ve always considered her rather homely but in this pic (with the exeption of the one wierd eyebrow) she looks rather pretty. Go figure. Also, she’s been around for awhile but does not seem to have aged too much. Lucky her.

  • She has been out of the picture because everyone got fucking sick of her angst ridden songs and her emo impression.

    From the pop princess image to the angry woman image to what is next? The punk skateboarder image with a tie around her neck?

  • Alanis to Ryan on Scarlett:
    “Is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theatre?” “Does she know how you told me you’d hold me Until you died, till you died. But you’re still alive” “It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced. Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?”

  • Wow… Gotta love Alanis… maybe we’ll get another album out of her… But seriously Beet, every time you mention Scarlet doing Tom Waits covers, I totally picture you giggling to yourself… I love it…

  • To me Scarlett is just not that cute. It’s like the look she’s going for is “swollen”. She always looks like she just recently woke up from a coma
