Alanis Morissette debuts tonight on Nip/Tuck

alanis.jpgAs if Alanis Morissette isn't already lucky enough to be with beefcake Ryan Reynolds off-screen, the singer will appear in the first of three episodes of "Nip/Tuck" as Poppy, the anesthesiologist lesbian lover of Roma Maffia's Liz. Cool! At least they will have a real same-sex relationship instead of this tease Julian McMahon's character has been engaged in this season. McMahon got a magazine cover over all of this so he should at least put out! Sheesh.
Anyway, Morissette's character will be encouraging Liz to undergo liposuction

"She wants me to be my best me, to reach my full potential," Maffia tells TV Guide's Mary Murphy. ""But when I go under the knife, we will see just how much she wants me to have done. She is a control freak."

Murphy also spoke with Morisette - who played a lesbian on an episode of "Sex in the City" and kissed Sarah Jessica Parker - about her latest acting gig on the F/X drama..
"This is definitely against type," the edgy rocker says. "I feel like Poppy is my shadow self, everything that I try not to be — controlling, micromanaging, projecting all kinds of dysmorphic body issues onto your partner rather than owning your own self. "

She and Liz will share a kiss.
"The kiss felt so natural; there was nothing uncomfortable about it. We live in a homophobic culture — if it were two men they would be judged to the nth degree, but with women it is "hot." What I love about this is this seems real.
