Alanis Morissette Tells Avril Lavigne She’s Not Alone

Alanis Morissette tells Chart magazine that she refuses to give Avril Lavigne any direct advice, but she did speak about her own personal issues with being in the spotlight. “All I would want to offer [Avril] is a sense of someone to come to,” she continued. “Or just to relate to or to know [she’s] not alone. Because it can be an extremely isolating experience, that kind of fame she’s experiencing. She’s an incredible talent, so it would be a crime not to share it.” The story at chartattack.com has since been removed.
