Singer Alanis Morissette has signed on to guest star in three episodes of the FX drama Nip/Tuck. During her run she will play the lesbian girlfriend of Dr. Liz Cruz (Roma Maffia). The show itself, which recently kicked off its fourth season on FX, has already included guest stars Larry Hagman and Kathleen Turner into its story lines.
While now known primarily as a signer singer, Alanis is no stranger to television. Back in 2000 she guest-starred on HBO's Sex and the City where she shared an on-screen kiss with Sarah Jessica Parker during a game of spin the bottle. Recently she's been seen on American Dreams and Degrassi: The Next Generation.
And, of course, how can we forget that her career began on a little known show called You Can't Do That on Television, which was a staple on Nickelodeon for the longest time. I wonder if she got slimed at any time during her tenure on the show.

Her song, "I'm a *****, I'm a Lover" is so great! I'm happy that she's a success, and I'll definitely watch those three episodes (despite the fact that I know nothing of the show).

I'm glad that a singer/songwriter with actual talent can have success even though she's not blond, fake, and dumb.

She was recently in an episode of Lifetime's matchmaker series. She played a homeless woman and was quite hilarious. Love that show. Stupid but funny.

No Karen & Alex, Alanis DOES NOT sing "B*tch"...Meredith Brooks sings that song..and I know because i have that song.
Alanis sings "You Oughta to Know" which may be kind of similar but really, you should be able to tell those two apart!

I have never heard Alanis sing B*tch, but she might have and I just have not heard it. I don't see the big deal. Why argue over it. Singers redo songs all the time. Just bec ause you have not heard it does not mean it doesn't exist. Nevertheless, why is it a big deal that you are going to fight with strangers over it. GROW UP!

Lesbian/gay stuff on television...the world is nuts... it wasn't long ago that "Tootsie" was a R rated movie. Now it's accepted as rather normal for these behaviors.
