Alanis Morissette, the singer/songwriter behind the multi-million-selling album Jagged Little Pill, will be the inspiration for a new ABC sitcom.  Titled Relatable, the sitcom is a single-camera comedy that follows a 40-something woman, married with three kids, who spent her young adult life as an international rock star, famous for her self-penned anthems of female rage and teen angst. Now this “voice of her generation,” although deeply bonded with her family, can’t quite get the next generation living in her house to listen to her.. While the main character is based on the life of Morissette, it will be a fictitious portrayal; Morissette’s life will serve to “loosely inform” the writing and stories though characters are fictional and non-biographical.

Jordan, and previous title holders George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Legend, Idris Elba, Chris Hemsworth, and Channing Tatum.  Rudd told People Magazine he hopes he’ll be invited to “some of those sexy dinners with Clooney and Pitt and B Jordan” and added, “I’m going to lean into it hard. I’m going to own this. I’m not going to try and be like, ‘Oh I’m so modest.’ I’m getting business cards made. But all of my friends will destroy me and I expect them to. And that’s why they’re my friends.”
