I am saddened by the news of death and devastation coming out of Haiti. What a horrible tragedy. Haiti is just a few hundred miles from the US, and even before this catastrophe, most Haitians lived in extreme poverty. This small country has had to endure so much already… and now this. It is times like these where we should stand up, pay attention and give help where we can. As I have said before, even the smallest of actions have an impact. To all the aid workers on the ground – thank you. My heart goes out to all Haitians in their time of need.

Avril"

Jane Mag Interview!

Here's a preview of the interview in the new issue of Jane Magazine! Buy it! There's a new picture to go with the article as well. See it here.

Avril married her own neo-punk guy last July: Deryck Whibley, a fellow Canadian and the lead singer for Sum 41. But instead of rocking her typical Hot Topic style, she wore a Vera Wang dress and walked down a Montecito, Calif., aisle just like countless Hollywood rich kids. The tabloids had a heyday, saying she wasn't being true to herself.

"I wanted to be like, 'Oh, let's totally have a rock 'n' roll, goth wedding.' But at the same time I was like, 'I've been dreaming about my wedding day since I was a little girl. I have to wear the white dress.' I wanted to be a princess, okay?" Avril says, laughing. "People thought I would have done, like, some black wedding dress, and yeah, I would have. But at the same time I was thinking about our pictures, and I wanted—like, that's why I have this ring—I wanted to be in style." She holds up the hugest Barbie-dream-bauble diamond ring ever. "It's a classic. I didn't want to be, like, 20 years later, 'Oh, why did I wear my hair like that? It's not cool now.'"

I ask Avril about an old Playboy interview in which Deryck said,

"When I'm coming down from coke, I can't be alone for some reason."

"He doesn't do drugs," Avril jumps in. "Clearly, he used to, because he talked about it, but I wouldn't be with someone who did, and I made that very clear to him when we first started dating. I've never done coke in my life, and I'm proud of that. Oh my God! I could never. I am 100 percent against drugs."

"Do you ever get paranoid that groupies are throwing themselves at Deryck when he's on tour?" I ask.

"No, we have a really good, strong relationship. There's a lot of trust. I know how much I mean to him, and..." Avril pauses, then smiles and says, "I'm the best thing that's ever happened to him."

MTV posted an article about Avril and her upcoming album. Here are the important bits, but read it all here.

The singer recently told MTV she had an absolute blast recording. She didn't labor over songs, didn't write any serious ones — well, OK, just a few — and made sure to indulge herself throughout the process. "I've never had so much fun in the studio," the singer said. "We would order food five times a day and totally pig out. We'd be drinking. I wrote 'Girlfriend' when I was drunk." Lavigne says she did her best work when she wasn't thinking so hard about it. "With my new song 'Girlfriend,' the second I was singing the melody, the lyrics were coming out: 'I don't like your girlfriend,' " Lavigne said. "The chorus was written in two minutes. It took nothing. And what's really cool about 'I Can Do Better' is we wrote it, and then I just ran into the booth, and I sang. I laid down the verse, and ... we just used my demo [take]. It was totally different — so much fun!" Part of what made it so easy for Lavigne to churn out the tunes was that she didn't delve deep into her emotions to come up with subject matter — most of the songs are about fictional experiences she thinks everyone can relate to. "Everything Back but You," for instance, is about how bad spelling can ruin someone's day — a girl gets a postcard from a guy who meant to write "Wish you were here," but instead wrote, "Wish you were her" (ouch). "You left out the 'e,' you left without me," Avril rails, "and now you're somewhere out there with a b---h slut psychopath, I hate you." No mincing words (or letters) there. "Some of the songs I wrote didn't even mean that much to me," Lavigne said. "It's not like some personal thing I'm going through. They're just songs." Let's hope husband Deryck Whibley of Sum 41 knows that's the case: The album's first single, "Girlfriend," is about wanting to steal someone else's boyfriend. Still, there are a few songs on the April 17 release that serve as a reminder that Lavigne isn't just a mall punk princess. "When You're Gone" is the closest Lavigne has come to a love song, so much so that it embarrasses her. "It wasn't like I deliberately did it," she demurred. "I was writing a slow song and that just brings out all that stuff in you, all that emotional stuff. It's not cheesy, because I wrote it. If I was older, a professional writer coming up with all that, that would be lame."
