AVRIL LAVIGNE IS CHANGIN' SUITS...

Avav

Avril Lavigne's most recent album and tour didn't do as well as she hoped and now she has just fired her longtime manager Terry McBride of Nettwerk!!

Looking for a change, Avril hired Irving Azoff, who's company represents such artists as Christina Aguilera and The Eagles... Hopefully this will help her career out - Nothing like firing your manager before the holidays!!

Paris Hilton took her girls out last night in L.A. for a post-breakup party!! Funny enough, her girlfriends of choice were Avril Lavgine, her sister, Nicky Hilton and Ali Simms!!

Seeing Avril hang with Paris will only add to those rumours that she is about to break-up with her husband, Deryck Whibley!!

Party!! Party!! Party!! Gotta love the single life eh?!

AVRIL LAVIGNE FANS ARE CHEATERS!!

I've always supported Canadian singer, Avril Lavigne, but something has to be done to STOP HER annoying little fans!! The "Avril Band Aids" are deceptively working to drive the video for, Girlfriend to YouTube's most watched top spot - #1 most viewed video of all time... The number one position currently belongs to The Evolution of Dance video...

Alav

Her fans have sent out emails to fans to get them to watch Avril's video as many times as possible AND have event set-up an automated YouTube view-boosting site... The website automatically reloads Avril's video every 15 seconds, to rack up as many hits as possible, and a letter from the site advises fans to keep the browser window open all day... CHEATERS!!

This stunt makes Avril look BAD and hopefully she'll tell them to stop (or take down the video) and turn down any honours IF she does make it to the #1 video post of all time!! This is just pathetic... Sorry Avril!!

Update: They've taken it down!!

QUOTE OF THE DAY...

Avril Lavigne dropped out of school at 16... That may explain why she doesn't know her geography as well as others... Fans at Avril Lavigne's Montreal concert were left stunned the other day!!

Thinkin

"I love you Montreal, I'm so happy to be back home...in Ontario, Canada," Lavigne said to the crowd... Montreal is actually a city in Quebec if you didn't know!! Please also note that Avril Lavigne is from Canada... Oy vey!!

AVRIL IS CHEESY CHESSY CHESSY...

Here's the brand new music video by Avril Lavigne for her new single, The Best Damn Thing...

DERYCK WHIBLEY SPEAKS: THE FULL AVRIL LAVIGNE STORY...

It all started back on January 10th when an "inside source" aka Deryck Whibley's friend planted a story with Isthishappening.com about Avril Lavigne being pregnant... This exclusive information leads to...

Fast forward a couple months and Pop Fiction, the new Ashton Kutcher-produced E! reality series debutes, and producers at the show annouce that they planted the story with Isthishappening.com in order to do a segement for the show... For full details on that and footage from the show - CLICK HERE...

Now a couple weeks after we find out the truth, Deryck comes forward to ETalk LAST NIGHT about Isthishappening.com and how it was all lies...

AVRIL TRIES SOMETHING NEW...

After gettin' poor reviews from the Canadian media on her singing, Avril Lavigne tried something new the other night in Edmonton.... She started multi-tasking - singing Runaway and Hey Mickey while playing the drums!!

March 08, 2008

SHE'S LIKE, SO WHATEVER!!

Poor poor Avril Lavigne, she just can't catch a break!! The Globe and Mail just wrote a terrible review of her concert... sorta like the one an Isthishappening.com reader sent us about her opening show...

That clip of her above makes her sound like a joke... Here's what The Globe had to say...

She's not a very good singer.

In fact, at times, she was downright awful - shouting her way through lyrics that her tired voice couldn't manage or, as she often did, simply giving up and holding the microphone out to the audience while she took a breather. Sure, every rock star worth her salt does that now and again to give the audience a thrill, but Lavigne resorted to the hey-audience-you-know-the-words trick just a little too often.

The queen of the arm pump also seemed out of breath at times, as she marched back and forth across the stage. This is what Lavigne's choreography largely consisted of, although the dancers made up for it.

Let's hope her concerts get better or else she may have to cancel shows like her husband's band, Sum 41 has been doing!!

AVRIL'S FIRST SHOW: A BUST...

I wish nothing best for Canadian rocker, Avril Lavigne, but Isthishappening.com readers emailed in yesterday reporting how "disastrous" her first concert of her tour was last night in Victoria...

Feet

The problems started with her piano breaking down during a song and than Avril screwed up a couple of the lyrics to her hit, Sk8er Boi... "All in all, everyone had fun, but it could've been better," said Amy of Victoria... Avril next plays Vancouver Friday, then heads to the B.C. interior for concerts in Kamloops, Kelowna and Prince George!! Hopefully it gets better!!

March 05, 2008

QUOTE OF THE DAY...

Tarzan Dan spoke to Avril Lavigne earlier this morning on the 99.9 Sun Fm morning show in Kelowna, B.C. and asked her what she misses the most about Canada...

Food

"I miss the really friendly people, and umm... Pizza Hut in Canada is sooo much better... and I miss Tim Horton's Iced Caps... They don't have 'em here... It's always a food thing haha, the corn-pops are better here though.... and I miss Swiss Chalet also!!"

February 23, 2008

Our source went on to say,

"She is also very excited about her tour but is stressing with last minute preparations."

AVRIL UPDATE...

Despite her rep claiming she's NOT PREGO... Isthishappening.com stands by our sources claim that Avril Lavigne is indeed a month and half pregnant... If you remember Nicole Kidman and others have denied claims at the start of their pregnancies... it's not like she's going to announce it in case there are problems at the beginning... Usmagazine.com quoted her rep. saying:

The rocker's label rep says, "It's not true." That doesn't mean she doesn't want kids. Lavigne has said she wants children "somewhere down the road."

Just wait a couple months and you'll see!!

I JUST DON"T GET IT...

The weather in Canada is cold... and it is MUCH WARMER in L.A. this time of the year... So why do Canadian stars such as Avril Lavigne (spotted arriving in L.A. at LAX last night) choose to wear big winter coats while in a sunny place?? It's called taking your coat off on the plane and packing it!!

Es

Maybe I'm just jealous that I'm stuck in Canada in all this snow?!

AVRIL GETS INTO YOUR HEAD...

Avril Lavigne shocked people at a nightclub by announcing she is copying her new bestfriend Paris Hilton’s famous habit of going pantyless...

Avparis

QUOTE OF THE DAY...

Amtv

“Whatever, you’re just talking about the Internet. You want me to clear some stuff up for you? Alright, here’s the deal. Today, you know, we live in a world where like people are extremely negative. The Internet is very negative. There’s a lot of websites and stuff, not naming any in particular. But, I don’t know. People are like obsessed with celebrities and they’re obsessed with them failing and doing bad. Personally, I haven’t failed. I haven’t done anything wrong. I feel like I’ve worked really hard and I’ve accomplished a lot. I know a lot of people are like getting DUIs and freaking showing their crotches in paparazzi pictures and going to jail and doing all this crazy stuff and falling. I personally think I’ve kept myself together pretty good. There’s a lot of negativity and I have a record out right now. It’s unfortunate that anytime there’s ever big news, it’s always negative. And I’ll guarantee you anything you’re reading is false." -Avril Lavigne told Buzz Bishop on 95 Crave in Vancouver.
