Alanis Morissette had just met the Pope on stage. As she exited the stage she didn't know whether she was supposed to walk in front of or go behind the cardinals who were waiting there.

She explains, "I'm post-Catholic; I don't know how it works anymore, so there was this awkward moment and I walked in front of them. They were all French and they were speaking about me behind me, saying how rude and horrible I was.

I speak French, so I bit my tongue the whole way out and they were just ripping me apart, and then right at the tail end... I just turned back and spoke to them in French and said, 'Thank you so much for your kindness.'"

Wow, so even clergymen talk bad about people behind their backs. Iguess gossip is universal, no matter what your status in life. :P
