I love my Nintendo Wii and one of my favorite things to play on the Wii are their sports games.  Whether it’s Wii Sports, Mario and Sonic at the 2008 Beijing Olympics or even just NHL 2K9, I love the action games! 
Now, I have heard that a new game called “Celebrity Sports Showdown” is ready to make its’ debut and it features famous people playing a variety of sports.  Our very own Avril Lavigne is featured playing badminton, for example.  Some of the other stars include Keith Urban, Fergie, Paul Pierce and Mia Hamm (I’m guessing she plays volleyball …read more

Are Canada’s hottest young couple calling it quits? That’s what reports are saying.  The two have been married for 2 years now and I actually thought they might be an example of young Hollywood getting married really early in life but who were so right for each other, it didn’t matter.  I hope they can work it out.  Can you imagine what their kids would be like!?
Oh well.  In the meantime, here’s a video montage of their wedding photos.

I’m not even sure what I think about this.  I blogged about Avril Lavigne’s clothing line “Abbey Dawn” last month and was pretty neutral, I guess, but now I’m just annoyed.  Does everyone have to have a clothing line?  Does Avril really need one?  Do you think people actually want to contribute to the world or are they just making these clothes to make money? 
Anyway, here’s a video of her talking about it:

Avril Lavigne’s on-stage dance moves are not sitting well with Malaysia’s Islamic opposition party.  They are so disturbed by it that they have asked the government to cancel her upcoming concert (set for August 29th in Kuala Lumpur).  Apparently, the Canadian punk princess is “too sexy” for them. 
The department is expected to meet sometime today to decide whether the show will go on.
Well, it’s not the first time this type of thing has happened.  Gwen Stefani was forced to make a “major sacrifice” by changing her wardrobe to reveal less skin during her performances and Christina Aguilera and Beyoncé …read more

This is the music video for Avril Lavigne’s song “The Best Damn Thing” off of her 2007 album, named after this track’s title. The song peaked at #76 on the Canadian Hot 100, #51 on the Australian Singles Chart and #91 on the U.S. Billboard Pop 100.

Canadian punk princess, Avril Lavigne, was on Good Day LA this morning where she showcased her new clothing line “Abbey Dawn.”  Basically, the clothes look like stuff she already wears so, if you love Avril Lavigne, or just want to look like her, this stuff is perfect.  I like some of it but I’m not a fan of pink leopard print clothes, lol.
Watch the short segment here:

Avril Lavigne is looking for a $2 million payday from YouTube since her video "Girlfriend" is the site’s most-viewed video of all-time.  Just one catch – the play count was inflated artificially by members of the Avril Bandaids fan site which, of course, hardly seems fair.  The video has been watched more than 92 million times but it’s not clear how much of this was from people actually searching out and watching the clip versus what has resulted from the manual manipulation of Avril fans.
YouTube’s current policy is to remove videos from their "most-played" section if it looks like that …read more
