Alanis Opens Up About Hitting 'Rock Bottom'

Originally posted 05/09/2008 06:20PM

Alanis Morissette says she's naturally optimistic – but battled hard times over the last few years when she hit "rock bottom."

"I took a break over the past two and half years. I was tending to my personal life," says the singer, who called off her engagement to longtime boyfriend Ryan Reynolds in 2007.

During that time, she says she hit "rock bottom" due to "a personal unraveling of significant relationships in my life." (Morissette did not comment about Reynolds's recent engagement to Scarlett Johansson.)

Eva Longoria's Birthday Bash

Originally posted 03/11/2005 06:00AM

Eva Longoria squeezed as much entertainment as possible into her 30th birthday celebration at a friend's Encino, Calif., home last Sunday. "It was an event-packed night," says Longoria of her early birthday party (her actual b-day is March 15). "She had a coffee grind reader, and psychic readings from psychicgirl.com, a cigar lounge, and a deejay," adds one of her 150 guests (which included Desperate Housewives costars Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman). For food and beverage Longoria stuck with a traditional Mexican theme. "They were cooking up chicken and soft tacos," says the partygoer. "The Margarita King was there making drinks all night." Friends and family gathered around an ice-cream cake at 11:30 to sing "Happy Birthday," before Longoria sent them home with a gift bag full of t-shirts, pomegranate juice, mariachi shakers and a thank-you note. But the celebration is not over for Longoria: She heads to Cabo San Lucas this weekend for a vacation with her family. As for the gift she gave herself? "I just bought my house, so that is big enough," says Longoria.

Alanis Makes Her Bridal Plans

Originally posted 11/08/2004 06:00AM

She's come a long way from her time as a Jagged Little Pill ... nowadays, formerly tortured singer Alanis Morissette is more concerned with her impending wedding to actor and fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds (Blade: Trinity, Van Wilder) than with the old lover who done her wrong. So, what's new on the nuptials front? The pair is "putting the plans together, although just barely," Morissette tells us. "We're thinking sometime next year. I don't believe in the gender thing, so some of my bridesmaids will be men." As for a venue, Morissette said only that the wedding will take place "somewhere mellow." Next up in her professional life: Morissette will appear on an episode of American Dreams and on MAD TV this month. It seems a flair for comedy has been her "back pocket secret for awhile," she says.
