Alanis Morissette Updates "Ironic" Lyrics, Nails it

Back when some of you were just learning to hold a bottle, the rest of us were enjoying the bittersweet sounds of Alanis Morissette.  


Morissette"s CD, Jagged Little Pill, was released in June 1995, and since the interweb wasn"t advanced enough to master the whole "online shopping" thing,  we the people had to haul ass to Tower Records if we wanted play "You Oughtta Know" on repeat.


One of my favorite singles from the album is "Ironic," ah delightfully catchy tune about life"s WTF everything is the worst "aww hell" moments.


Morissette performed her song live on The Late Late Show last night with host James Corden, and even updated the lyrics to reflect these trying times of "Swiping left on your soul mate," "It"s like Netflix, but you own DVDs," and the worst offender, "It"s like you"re first class…on a Southwest plane, then you realize that every seat is the same."


It was like being back in a coffee house, listening to some chick wearing a beanie and long, hippie hair sing about the lemons life hands her.

In 2013, the artit told the following story to Elle Magazine, regaling readers with a tale about her London apartment: “I thought I had seen a little boy sitting on the sink watching me take a shower so I felt really freaked out. I was sitting there the next night and maybe I’m crazy, but I could have sworn I could see this little boy sitting there on the sink, kicking his feet.” Great. Now we’re scared, too.

Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt: Back Together?!

Back in September, Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt broke up after 18 years together and countless reports of Hamm engaging in Don Draper-esque bad behavior. 



There were conflicting reports about why Hamm and Westfeldt split, but several sources confirmed that Hamm’s drinking and “wandering eye” had taken a toll on the relationship.


Westfeldt wasn’t in attendance when Hamm (finally) won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and lately, there have been reports of Hamm and Ben Affleck partying and picking up women together at LA clubs. 


Needless to say, it looked as though Hamm and Westfeldt were well and truly over  – until this past weekend.


On Sunday, the couple was spotted together for the first time in months at a memorial service for director Mike Nichols, who passed away last year.


What’s more, sources say Hamm and Westfeldt were arm-in-arm throughout much of the event and seemed to be intentionally sending the signal that they’re back together.


Eighteen years is quite a long time, so we suppose it’s not surprising that these two would give their relationship another chance.


And hey, the timing couldn’t be better:


Hamm completed rehab back in Match and reportedly hasn’t had a drop in eight months. Just as importantly, with Mad Men’s seven-season run at an end, he can finally put his brooding, boozy, philandering alter-ego behind him.

Amber Marchese: Leaving The Real Housewives of New Jersey

After just one season, Amber Marchese has decided not to return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey.



In a statement to People Magazine, Marchese gave her reasons for leaving the show, which she accuses of not allowing viewers to know the real her.


“Jim and I have been giving Real Housewives of New Jersey a lot of thought and given the current state of affairs regarding our personal lives and the direction of the show, we officially decided to move on,” the statement reads. “The show was not what we expected it to be, and I want to pursue more suitable endeavors.”


Marchese famously butted heads with twins Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano.


“I was picked on a casting call while pursuing acting, and the person that was presented was created for the show,” she said.  “I had little control over content, situations, or what they decide to show the viewers.


“Even my relationship with the twins was created. I recruited them for my storyline after I was chosen,” she says. “I only met with Teresa Guidice and Dina Manzo for filming purposes. I never built a friendship with them as we were nothing more than co-workers. I wish them all well and the best of luck, although, my husband does not share my sentiments.”


Marchese documents her second battle against breast cancer as a blogger for People.


“I just want to thank everyone who has supported me and has shown nothing but kindness through my difficult times. It is a dream as an aspiring actress to get a lead role, but as with all careers, as one door closes, God willing, another one will open,” she says.


“For anyone following my story, I plan on continuing my blog. God bless to all!”


Radar Online reports that no one has signed a contract for season 7.  The only ones who are all but guaranteed to return are Melissa Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita and Teresa Giudice, who will be released from prison on December 23rd.


Remember Kim DePaola?  The chick who tried unsuccessfully to elbow her way into the cast?  She’s “been talking to the head producer” about returning.


According to Radar, “They want Kim on.”


So DiPaolo is the Kristin Cavallari of RHONJ.  Good for her.
