    Are we all forgetting that Alanis was an actress before she was a singer??

    Oh no. So I've got a month left to read Gawker, eh? I love you and will follow you anywhere.


    But this post needs a correction. "Mother's little helpers" pertains to Courtney Love, yes, but it's not a film.

    I read that as "Nancy Drew's gynecologist" and thought, oh no, the end of innocence.

    She was pretty awesome as God.


    Also: Walk Hard was funny as fuck.


    The singers I want to see do some acting are Ian Astbury of the Cult and Adam Ant, because they used to be beautiful and I want to see how their faces are falling apart. I'm sick like that.

    @BookishLookish:


    Adam Ant was on Northern Exposure briefly. He still looked pretty good and he was charming. That was followed by a period of being institutionalized, so he might be quite a mess now.

    Courtney isn't bad at all and CHER is a quite a good actress and I've loved Diana Ross over the years.


    There was a really funny fake video made on MadTV with Alanis in a bathtub years ago. I could see then that she had a spark of acting talent.

    as a canadian, i must say that i would like for Alanis not do anymore acting/singing/performing/appearing on television of any kind. ever. that woman is insufferable.
