10. As a child she starred in You Can't Do That On Television, a show famous for breaking all the rules. Wouldn't the experience with green slime and wearing a naked body-suit at the 2004 JUNO Awards make her the most shocking celebrity at the Walk of Fame ceremony? Nope. Tom Green is hosting the proceedings.

9. If you take the title of her first album from 1985, add the tenth, sixth and third tracks from 1998's Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie and throw in song nine from 2002 release Under Rug Swept, you get: Fate Stay With Me, I Was Hoping, That I Would Be Good, Thank U, You Owe Me Nothing. Hopefully her acceptance speech will be as succinct.

8. Dude, she's engaged to Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds)!

7. Alanis may finally be getting her own star, but she has worked with many shining celebrities before. She filmed a rockumentary-style sitcom, We're With The Band, with Tom Hanks that will air on Comedy Central this fall. The show will feature Morissette's life on and off the stage with amusing improvisations.

6. She is getting her star 10 years after the release of her album Jagged Little Pill (which is probably the only one you know). How old do you feel now?

5. She has become an American citizen. (Actually, she has dual citizenship).

4. You can use Alanis to get your own star too! Just use the online Morissette Lyric Generator to create your own songs of angst. All you need is a computer, something that you hate and six plural nouns. Just go to brunching.ca/alanislyrics.html.

3. The STAR IS A MILESTONE for the singer. It's also the letters in ALANIS MORISSETTE rearranged in an anagram.

2. The award might be a nod from a higher power. Morissette is god. At least to some fans, and she also played the role in Kevin Smith's film Dogma.

1. It was a birthday present. She celebrated her 31st yesterday. What's a party without cake, candles and one of Canada's highest accolades?
