LOS ANGELES - Canadian Alanis Morissette (news) is now an American citizen.
The 30-year-old singer was among some 4,500 people who took the citizenship oath during a ceremony last week at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Morissette isn't turning her back on Canada — she's maintaining dual citizenship.
"I will never renounce my Canadian citizenship," Morissette said in a statement Wednesday. "I consider myself a Canadian-American.
"There was a turning point during the ceremony where I felt connected to this country in a way that I didn't quite expect," she said. "America has been really great to me and I have felt welcomed since the day I came here."
Morissette's songs include "Ironic" and "You Oughta Know."

Hehe, good call.. but yea I have dual citizenship. The only reason I can see why alanis would give up her canadian citizenship is to avoid paying canadian taxes.

Pamela Anderson's Breasts Become American Citizens
Pam gives the finger to the crowd
LOS ANGELES — In a ceremony in a Los Angeles courtroom last week, Pamela Anderson’s breasts became US citizens. Ms. Anderson remains a Canadian citizen.
“I am naturalizing these breasts,” said the judge who swore in Ms. Anderson’s breasts after laying his hands on them. “True, they may not be natural, but their US content is extremely high.”

MUST be the reason.
And thanks guys....
Yet, still, I am 100% American. I'm about to send in my application (again) for landed status this week. My chances of getting approved are better this time around.
