Stars Run for Fun ... and Good Causes
Originally posted 11/02/2009 09:00AM
Of the 43,741 people who ran the New York City Marathon on Sunday, a handful stood out, both for having claims to fame and for their reasons for running.
Alanis Morrissette, former ER doc Anthony Edwards, The Incredible Hulk's Edward Norton and Christopher Reeve's son Matthew battled through the sweat and determination on the streets of the Big Apple, all for a good cause.
"It was such a thrill but I'm burnt," Edwards told PEOPLE moments after crossing the finish line. "I'm totally tired! But that's the point. I'm just so happy that I finished. But tomorrow I'm going to feel happier."

Alanis Morissette to Run a Marathon for Good Cause

Alanis Morissette is on the run – for a good cause.
The singer, 35, is participating in the Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon on Oct. 11 to raise money for the National Eating Disorders Association.
Training for the 26.2 mile race through Susanville, Calif., has not only gotten Morissette in great shape; it's also "shifted how I view food altogether," the singer tells PEOPLE.
"I've learned how to enjoyably fuel myself," she continues. "Participating in this marathon has inspired me to treat my body like an instrument."
And the musician – who suffered from an eating disorder in her teens – hopes to make some noise and raise awareness for the importance of healthy living.

Alanis Morissette Reveals Her First Love: Hockey
Originally posted 10/09/2008 05:30PM
Alanis Morissette can be tough in her music. Just consider her megahit "You Oughta Know." Now, imagine her on skates with a big stick.
"I've been a hockey fan since I was fresh out of the womb, to be honest," Morissette, 34, tells NHL.com, revealing one of her life's first passions. "It would have been hard not to be in my family since we're all hockey fans."
"I played street hockey a lot," the singer says. "Most Canadians learn how to skate when they're 2 years old. I was one of those kids, so I skated a lot on my figure skates and my hockey skates."

We oughta know ...
Full House star Dave Coulier is finally speaking out about inspiring Alanis Morissette's bitter, break-out hit "You Oughta Know."
The comedian told the Calgary Herald that he dated the much-younger singer-songwriter – but that he had no idea she planned to take their breakup public.
When he first heard the song, "I said, 'Wow, this girl is angry,' " he recalled. "And then I said, 'Oh man, I think it's Alanis.' ... I listened to the song over and over again, and I said, 'I think I have really hurt this person.' "

Alanis Morissette Is 'Fascinated By Aging'
Originally posted 08/11/2008 01:50PM
The effects of old age won't be a concern for Alanis Morissette.
Don't count on seeing the singer, who says she "notices new things" about her body every month, searching for a fountain of youth. Instead Morissette plans to embrace her body’s transformation.
"I'm fascinated by aging and how a woman's body changes," Morissette, 34, tells Women's Health's September issue.
"I don't want to spend the next 50 years of my life trying to hide those changes. There's something very relaxing about watching it unfold instead of fighting it the whole way."
While she watches her body evolve, Morissette has stayed physically fit by adding triathlete to her resume.

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.)
