Alanis Morissette Gets High from Running - and the Occasional Joint
15 December 2009 7:45 AM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Alanis Morissette struggled with depression her whole life, but recently, she found an effective antidote: running. Morissette, 35, tells Runner's World that "running has made being depressed impossible. If I'm going through something emotional and just go outside for a run, you can rest assured I'll come back with clarity." The Grammy-winning singer, who has run two marathons, tries to live a healthy lifestyle, including eating lots of kale. But she still occasionally indulges "in red wine, and it's fun to have medical marijuana once in a while," she says. "I still party and include a little debauchery." Always an active »

Katy Perry Posts Old Headshot On Twitter
8 December 2009 9:12 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
It's sometimes amazing to keep in mind the ages of pop stars. Taylor Swift turns 20 this weekend, and both Britney Spears and Beyoncé are only 28. Considering how much these women have accomplished, you would think they would each have a few more years behind them, but they've all managed to cram heaping armloads of success into just a few short years. Of course, most of them have been working at being performers since a very young age, and they've each introduced themselves to the world during their teen years.
Katy Perry is only 25, but she already has a platinum album, several hit singles, collaborations with the likes of Joe Perry and Rivers Cuomo and a hotly-anticipated album on tap for 2010. But though 2008's One of the Boys should be treated like a debut, she has actually been kicking around the music industry since 2001, when she recorded a self-titled Christian music »

Alanis Morissette a Pothead?
4 December 2009 12:13 AM, PST | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
It should come as no surprise considering half the celebrities in the music industry believe marijuana should be made legal, but Alanis Morissette recently revealed that she loves the drug. She recently told High Times Magazine that she used weed to promote her creativity, but claims she does it in moderation. "As an artist, there's a sweet jump-starting quality to it for me," she said. "I've often felt telepathic and receptive to inexplicable messages my whole life. I can stave those off when I'm not high. When I'm high — well, they come in and there's less of a veil, so to speak. So if ever I need some clarity... or a quantum leap in terms of writing something, it's a quick way for me to get to it." Read on for more!

Book Review – 'unSweetined' by Jodie Sweetin (Full House)
3 November 2009 4:42 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Today Jodie Sweetin (formerly the middle daughter, Stephanie, on Full House) released her autobiography, unSweetined, detailing her early acting years and her subsequent drug and alcohol addiction. Only 27 years old, Jodie has lived through a lot of hard times.
Once Danny Tanner's bubbly daughter on America's favorite family sitcom, Jodie Sweetin takes readers behind the scenes of Full House and shares her terrifying — and uplifting — real-life story of addiction and recovery.
Jodie Sweetin grew up in front of America, melting our hearts and making us laugh for eight years as the cherub-faced middle child on Full House. Her ups and downs seemed not so different from our own, but more than a decade after the popular television show ended, the star we knew as goody-two-shoes Stephanie Tanner publicly revealed her shocking recovery from methamphetamine addiction. Even then, Jodie still kept a painful secret — one that could not be solved in thirty minutes with a hug, »

World Series Game Five Preview: Alanis Morissette Reminds Us They Play Baseball In Canada, Too
2 November 2009 2:21 PM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
After a pretty exciting weekend, the World Series enters its first elimination round tonight in Philadelphia. The New York Yankees will square off against the Philadelphia Phillies in game five tonight, and the Yanks could take home their first championship in a decade and their 27th overall. So far, the at-bat music has definitely dictated the tenor of the series, and last night's heroics courtesy of Alex Rodriguez must have something to do with the fact that he adopted a Jay-z song as his entrance tune. The musical guests have fallen off a big since the second game (when Jigga and Alicia Keys elevated Yankee Stadium with a rendition of "Empire State of Mind"). The cast of "Glee" performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" over the weekend, but tonight's guest may seem a little odd but is certainly welcome. Alanis Morissette will pay a visit tonight, and she'll sing the national anthem »

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. »

Edward Norton came in first in the New York City Marathon's gold medal on Sunday—in the actors, musicians and performers category, that is.

Norton Convinces Maasai Warriors To Run In Sneakers
29 October 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Edward Norton has managed to persuade three Maasai warriors to ditch their traditional sandals for brand new sneakers as they prepare to run in the gruelling New York Marathon this weekend.
The Fight Club star will be joined by the Kenyan tribesmen when he pounds the streets of the Big Apple on Sunday to raise money for an African conservation charity.
The Maasai warriors have vowed to compete in their traditional robes and beads and had previously insisted on sticking to their open-toed sandals, made from rubber tyres, for the race.
Norton says, "They're very comfortable in those (clothes). That's what they walk and run in at home. That's just sort of their normal day-to-day wear, and they're really comfortable in it."
But Norton has finally convinced his new pals to run in comfortable footwear and take advantage of sports giant Puma, which is sponsoring the team.
The actor took them to a shoe fitting earlier this week (ends30Oct09) and he's hoping the warriors will take the sneakers back to Kenya with them and continue using the footwear.
He says, "The only thing they're still debating a little bit is whether to switch from their sandals to running shoes...
"The guys are getting outfitted for Puma running shoes. They usually run in those (sandals) but I think they might convert... They like their sandals and that's what they run in at home, but they had never run on pavement before, and so they're debating maybe wearing Pumas."
Norton's team will be joined by pals Alanis Morissette and illusionist David Blaine when they line up for the start of the race on Sunday. »
