built 656 days ago
Alanis Morissette was showered with industry awards for "Jagged Little Pill," including Grammys for Album of the Year, Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album. Her much-anticipated follow-up, "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie," was released in November 1998 on Maverick and has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. After finishing a tour with Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette headed to New Zealand and Australia for a month-long tour, though she took time out to tape an episode of "MTV Unplugged."

In 2000 Alanis Morissette extended her acting career into live theater by tackling The Vagina Monologues, and dipped back into televison with an appearance on the HBO series Sex and the City. Her third studio album, Under Rug Swept, did not materialize until early 2002, followed later in the year by the CD/DVD collection Feast on Scraps. Throughout the intervening year she devoted her time to a number of charity events, including a John Lennon tribute concert in New York City to raise funds for gun control, a Music Without Borders concert in Toronto to aid Afghani refugees, and a performance at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. In November of 2001 she was presented with a "Global Tolerance Award" by the Friends of the United Nations. A fourth album, So-Called Chaos, hit the presses in 2004.

Morissette released the greatest hits album Alanis Morissette: The Collection in late 2005. The lead single and only new track, a cover of Seal's "Crazy", was a U.S. adult top 40 and dance hit, but it achieved only minimal chart success elsewhere, as did the album. A limited edition of The Collection features a DVD including a documentary with videos of two unreleased songs from Morissette's 1996 Can't Not Tour: "King of Intimation" and "Can't Not" (a reworked version of the latter appeared on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie). The DVD ... includes a ninety-second clip of the unreleased video for the single "Joining You". Morissette contributed the song "Wunderkind" to the soundtrack of the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and it was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.[38]
