Avril Lavigne Featured in Nintendo Wii Game

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:02:08 +0000

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 in the game? Just a guess…).

*update – I hear that Nelly Furtado is also in the game but I’m not sure what she does. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley Divorcing?

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:36:50 +0000

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.

Avril Lavigne’s "Abbey Dawn" Clothing Line

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:58:41 +0000

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 Concert Deemed "Too Sexy"

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 06:14:52 +0000

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 skipped over the country during their Asian tours. Also, the Pussycat Dolls were fined $2,857 USD after they were accused of flouting decency regulations (uhhh, that was probably legitimate. I’m sorry but those girls are nasty to me, lol).

Avril Lavigne Debuts Clothing Line – Video

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:52:51 +0000

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.

Avril Lavigne Wants $2 Million From YouTube

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:31:58 +0000

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 count system has been tampered with but "Girlfriend" has yet to be moved. All the same, a spokesperson for the popular video site says that safeguards are now in place to ensure that this kind of abuse doesn’t happen in the future.

Well, since we are talking about it… what the hell? Let’s just watch the video:
