Morissette will travel to Ren-Mar for the 5th season of SHOWTIME's
highest-rated comedy series WEEDS, premiering Monday, June 8th at 10p

Alanis Morissette has released a series of groundbreaking albums that
have sold more than 60 million copies worldwide. She has won twelve Juno
Awards, seven Grammy(r) Awards, and has also received an additional
fourteen Grammy(r) nominations. Alanis' international debut album Jagged
Little Pill introduced her to the world and broke countless records
worldwide. It remains the best-selling debut album by a female artist in
the U.S. and is the highest selling debut album worldwide in music
history. Morissette's subsequent five studio albums have all included a
series of chart-topping singles. Her most recent release, Flavors of
Entanglement, was released in June 2008 and debuted in the U.S. in the
Top 10 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart. Achieving success as a
recording and performing artist, Morissette has also lent her talents to
other forums. Her television acting work includes roles on "Sex and the
City" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," along with a three-episode arc on
"Nip/Tuck."=20

This season on WEEDS, Nancy's (Parker) pregnancy brings security, then
jeopardy and maybe the end of Esteban's (Demian Bichir) political
career; Celia's return to Ren-Mar brings a powerful new job prospect,
Andy's (Justin Kirk) new love interest brings unexpected consequences;
and Doug (Kevin Nealon) and Silas (Hunter Parrish) open a new pot club.=20
