Avril Lavigne

Germany held their MTV Video Music Awards last night, and Avril Lavigne was there to receive the awards for Most Addictive Track (for “Girlfriend” – and now that I’ve mentioned it you’re gonna have that song stuck in your head again all day) and Solo Artist of 2007. Even though she’s supposedly been hanging out with Ms. Spears, Avril appeared to be clean and not pregnant, so it looks like whatever Britney has isn’t contagious.

Itty-bitty punker Avril Lavigne is humble. Wait, what does humble mean again? Nope, that’s not what I meant. Check out these excerpts from Avril’s interview with Q Magazine.

“Selling 24 million albums hasn’t really affected me, but it has changed things. I can’t walk into a room full of people any more without everybody turning their heads, and I can only eat in certain restaurants where I know I won’t get hassled. But that’s OK. I was born to do this, and so I’ve learned how to cope.”

And Avril is not just awesome, she’s generous:

“I am a very giving person. When the hurricane thing happened, I went to my closet, filled six boxes of stuff and said to my assistant, ‘Take it to Katrina!’ I also like to give stuff to people who are my ‘workers,’ especially if they don’t make much money.”

And on her loveableness:

“People love me and people hate me, but I’m comfortable in my own skin and that’s what counts. And anyway if you do hate me, you’re the loser, not me.”

Oh I’m having a snark-gasm. Where to start with this load of bulls**t? Yeah, yeah I know there are hardcore Avril lovers, but even you guys have to laugh when she says this stuff. “The hurricane thing”? I almost peed my pants when I read that.

And she wants to take care of her “workers.” Her workers! And then she says that her workers are underpaid? Girlfriend, you’re the one signing the pay checks! I’m thinking they might want a raise more than the ripped shirt you wore to the bar last night.

Now before you get all bitchy with the comments let me say that I don’t hate Avril. How can I when she makes my job this damn easy?

Hey, it’s pint size punker Avril Lavigne and she isn’t flipping anyone off, making a murderous face or insulting other celebs…is she on medication? Maybe she just looked down and realized she has boobs and she’s hypnotized by her own cleavage.

Well, at least she’s still rocking the pink streak, so maybe there’s some of the desperately-in-need-of-anger-management girl we all know and fear hiding behind that smile and just waiting to pounce.

Bad attitude rocker Avril Lavigne has no doubt been called a lot of nasty names in her short career, but she doesn’t appreciate being called a song thief. Avril is being sued for allegedly ripping off a 1970’s song and turning it into her song Girlfriend.

TMZ has Avril’s response to the lawsuit:

You may have heard some news that two guys who wrote for some band from the 1970s I have never in my life heard of called the “Rubinoos” are trying to sue me. They have a song called “I Want To Be Your Boyfriend” that has no musical similarities to the song “Girlfriend” that Luke Gottwald and I wrote together. They claim that a small part of the lyrics are the same and are saying that I took these from them. I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on 5 words! All songs share similar lyrics and emotions. As humans we speak one language.

Off the top of my head, two other songs that I can immediately think of with this type of lyric are “Hey, hey, you, you get off of my cloud” by the Rolling Stones and “Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend” by the Ramones. Simply put, I have been falsely accused of ripping their song off. Luke and I have done nothing wrong and there is no merit to their claim.”

Oh Avril. Flipping off the photogs and bashing pop tarts is one thing, but stealing songs just isn’t nice.

Boy, that Avril Lavigne is one heck of a role model. Here is the itty-bitty girl with the big ol’ attitude flashing her favorite finger to the paparazzi. Isn’t she sweet?

It’s sure looking like Avril needs some serious anger management classes. First the chick rags on a whole slew of celebs and then she (once again) flips the paps the bird as she hurries past. Avril, honey, take a deep breath and let the childhood trauma go.

Avril Lavigne has some serious issues with her fellow celebrities. She hasn’t exactly been hiding her dislike for Brintey Spears and now we’re hearing that the pocket sized rocker has beef with Hilary Duff.

From TMZ:

Hilary Duff and Avril Lavigne were at the same party in New York last week, but they had to be kept far, far apart because of long-running b**chfight, says Metro New York. The two pop starlets were supposed to come at different times, but arrived at the same time, and Avril was “driving everyone crazy” with her anger.

I don’t know if I can keep all this high school-esque drama straight anymore. Someone just show me which celebs are the geeky honor students and which ones are the stuck up cheerleaders. Me, I’ll be in the girls bathroom smoking and writing nasty stuff on the walls with my Sharpie.

Avril Lavigne, the tiny singer with serious attitude issues, is taking another shot at Britney Spears. Avril pretty much says that Brit is being a publicity hungry nutcase on purpose and that she just wants attention.

From MSNBC:

“She [Britney] has paparazzi at her house every day,” Lavigne told the Australian newspaper Townsville Bulletin. “Then she does things that are crazy, so everyone talks about it.”

So Avril is opposed to a committing a publicity stunt in order to get some flashbulbs snapping in your direction. Just out of curiosity, where does flipping off a bunch of cameras on the red carpet fall on her hypocrisy scale? That’s what I thought. Hello pot, this is the kettle, you’re an itty-bitty singer with too much make-up.

Itty-bitty rocker Avril Lavigne has no sympathy for Britney Spears. Apparently Avril was emotionally scarred when she was a small child and her mom made her watch Britney to get performance pointers. Avril must have been the only girl in the audience wearing a skull shirt and aiming a pellet gun when Brits sang “Hit me Baby.”

Anyway, Avril had this to say about Britney’s very public meldown:

From Starpulse:

“What’s happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. If you want a piece of this business you have to be able to deal with it. You can’t complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness because that’s the job.”

So I’m guessing Avril won’t be on Britney’s Christmas card list this year. But that’s probably for the best. We wouldn’t want Avril to have to relive that early concert trauma.

Most women tend to get fat and ugly after they get married, but that’s not the case with Avril Lavigne,
who looks now prettier than ever, and these pictures taken for the latest Nylon magazine edition are proof that marriage is doing her good.

I specially like the ones with the little cap on.. that’s so Avril!

Avril Lavigne has made it very clear for the critics of her new glam look that this is just the result of growing out of her skater girl years.

"I used to come across as really tough because that’s who I was. When I was in high school I was a little s**t, hanging out with the guys, getting drunk, smoking, getting in fights, playing hockey." Avril says, and adds: "My band were all guys, so I was only around guys, but when I got older I started being more of a chick."

May be she is not completely out of it, as these photos taken a few weeks ago prove:

According to People magazine’s website, punk-pop princess
Avril Lavigne got married yesterday to Deryck Whibley, a fellow Canadian singer, in Santa Barbara, California.

After being together for two years in a remarkably uneventful courtship, the couple has been officially united in a traditional ceremony. With both partners’ lives having been gossip free, and having had such a normal relationship, it won’t be long before they are bored to tears of each other.

After all, celebrities simply don’t have regular marriages…
