It's a pretty low-key follow to My Humps, considering.

Ottawa singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, who famously donned short-shorts and became a YouTube hit when she sent up Fergie's tune last April, has posted a new video interview to her website telling fans what she's been doing.

And it's a lot: Next year will see the 33-year-old Los Angeles resident go out on a three-month U.S. concert tour, drop a new album, star in a movie and start writing a book.

The one thing Morissette doesn't talk about is her March 7 induction into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, or the Lifetime Achievement Award she is set to receive at the Canadian Music Awards that same week.

And while her ex-fiance, actor Ryan Reynolds, seems to have found a new girlfriend in actress Scarlett Johanssen, Morissette just beamed as she chatted away with a videographer pal while strolling down a neighbourhood street.

"Personal life -- everything's good?" he asks. "Happy?"

"Oh," says Morissette, giggling. "Probably never been happier."

After acting and performing in improv as a youngster, Morissette later appeared in the film Dogma and guest-starred on several television shows, including a recent story arc on Fox's Nip/Tuck.

But she will star in a movie based on sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick's semi-autobiographical book Radio Free Albemuth, inspired by visions the author had in the '70s. The singer will reportedly play a woman who appears to a record label staffer played by Jonathan Scarfe. Morissette tells the camera that when it comes to Dick, she loves "the books and the man and the poetry."

In January, she will kick off a three-month U.S. tour opening for Matchbox Twenty. There is also a new studio album on the way, a followup to 2004's So-Called Chaos.

"I have a record coming out at the beginning of April, Flavours of Entanglement, she says, "a great snapshot of the last year."

Morissette landed in hot water with Canadian record stores, like HMV, over how she initially sold her last album, an acoustic version of her breakthrough third album Jagged Little Pill, through Starbucks.

This time around, Morissette promises "10 extra songs that will most likely show up in some great, interesting, exclusive-y kind of places."

Morissette also tells the camera she's hiring an editor for a book she plans to write over the next year or two.

"I'm giving myself lots of time," she says, "and then I might not use all of it."
