Most people hardly care to see her headlining tour so Avril Lavigne is set to get second billing to Chris Daughtry at Tom’s River Fest next month. If that wasn’t humiliatingenough, the Canadian singer is also opening for the Jonas Brothers on a couple of dates on their current US tour. Sure she’s not going to be the center of attention but at least there are actually people going to be there to watch her perform instead of having a half-empty arena. It’s going to be a big improvement for her. She may not like it but she has to take it on to actually earn some money.

The Jonas Brothers celebrate their highly successful album with a handprint ceremony at New York City’s Planet Hollywood Times Square on Saturday night. 20-year old Kevin, 18-year old Joe and 15-year old Nick all had their handprints immortalized in plaster before they clawed their way into a celebratory kick. The party can also serve as a celebration for the success that they’re experiencing with their current ‘Look Me in the Eyes’ tour. Come the summer time, I’m sure they’ll be holding another celebration for the would-be success of their summer tour. It’s way much more than we can say for Avril Lavigne.

We can now safely say that the hatred for Avril Lavigne is universal. At the eve of her concert in Mexico city, the singer, if you could even call her that, had a rapprochement with her fans at a distance. One disappointed fan said that “We were told no pictures, no shaking hands, no hugging or kissing”.

Despite waiting for nearly 27 hours for Avril just to get an autograph, the singer and her staff were rude to the fans. Several fans complained about the conditions given by the staff but even the press were told the same. The press and TV crews were supposed to cover the whole thing but they got evicted after a minute of taking pictures.
Nearly 700 fans showed up and all of them got disappointed. No one should be surprised though, she acted the same way last Thursday at the MTV Latin Music Awards.

Avril Lavigne just released another hot new music video. Ironically, it’s for a song that’s appropriately titled ‘Hot’.

The video has a 1920 burlesque theme which was shot at the Beacon, Jersey City last month. It’s quite interesting to see a ‘punk’ dress up as a cabaret girl of some sort. Christina Aguilera never had much trouble. But then again, Christina has always been more believable and tolerable than Avril. I mean, the song even sounds like any Shakira song and Eve 6’s ‘Inside Out (Heart in a Blender)’. Copyright lawsuit anyone?

Also, a source from the set of the video has leaked that Avril is really in over her head. She had two personal masseuses tending to her during the shoot.

Birthday girl Avril Lavigne was out celebrating with friends last night when she decided to turn the tables on the photogs waiting outside of Koi to snap the rocker. Now that’s a nice way of celebrating some moments of your B’day, clicking the pics of all those photographers who followed her to the place where she was celebrating with some friends. Good that she displayed some good sense in not lashing out at the photogs, that was probably because she might have been in real joyful mood or else she would have blasted them for intruding her birthday celebrations. Incase she got annoyed and blasted some of the photogs them that would have been absolutely normal thing to do. When you are out with friend having a personal time off, and bang you see all these guys hitting you with a barrage of question telling ‘Hey Avril, smile please, look hear, how was the party, what you intend to do now’ and all this rubbish, which might make you want to give it back to them right that instant.

Self-praise is what keep our celebrities in high spirits and their own world where they are the most secure and comfortable. Once again, Avril Lavigne has opened up her big, stupid, ugly, annoying, conceited, dumb (I could keep going) mouth about how great she is. She’s already put down Britney Spears and now she’s saying how she’s better than Kelly Clarkson. Umm, I don’t think so honey. Kelly Clarkson may have gained 20 pounds and dropped an album her executives hated but she’s still a million times more talented, interesting and beautiful than Avril. She thinks she was born to do this and so she can now cope with her fame. What rubbish, does a sweeper or cab driver have to do the same job because he thinks he was born to do this? Avril if you really mean the words you’ve said in the interview then that’s like – do you know how many more albums you going to make or how long you going to behave in such a high headedness manner. Give me a break please. Quit giving your lame back-handed compliments.

I’ve got a secret to confess. For a long while now I have secretly liked Avril Lavigne despite my hatred of pop music. I hate pop music because, for the most part, there is little music actually in it. It’s just a string of bleeps and sexual innuendo strung together and forced down the throat of the American public. Not so with Avril. She writes at least a portion of her songs. Her music lays right on the edge of pop and alternative, and its just plain fun to sing at karaoke.

With her new album coming out entitled “Best Damn Thing” I ended up asking myself what exactly is the best thing about Avril. I know I have my opinion, but I’d be interested to hear your opinion. What do you think is the Best Damn Thing about Avril Lavigne. And yes, you lose points if you say her ass.
