Heres an interview from MTV with Deryck and Steve from Sum 41.
"The day that I date Avril is the day that pigs grow wings, I get three ferraris, and
make out with Pamela Anderson and Janine Lindemulder!" - Deryck
"I'm not sure why she hangs out with us! Its kinda scary,
cause like wherever we go, she is always there! Following us! I
think she is a stalker! She scares us!" my comment: ten bucks says Avril's image consultant finds out when Sum 41 is hanging out and then sends Avril there. HA!
October 18th: Shirley Manson Shares Her Thoughts on Avril
Garbage's Shirley Manson had a few thoughts of her own about Avril. "Avril Lavigne is a
nice change from Britney as a pop star but please! I've had enough of the media ramming her down my throat as a bone fide agitator!" she complained, "Em......no! I don't think
I'm buying that one! And here's a little tip for the stylists behind the 'diva.' For God's sake, take off the tie...enough already! For those of you, like me, who never bought into the so called, patriarchally orchestrated 'girl power' of the Spice Girls....or the join the dots, colouring book 'rock rebellion' of Avril Lavigne: Get your
eyes fixed on Karen O from the 'Yeah Yeah Yeah' because let there be no mistake, she really is the anointed one!"
hehehe, get this: according to an Avril fansite anything but ordinary, Avril can bite and suck all 10 of her toes. That is just gross.
This is a portion of an interview from Much Music
Jenn: Growing up in a small town, do you think that forced you to be creative because there wasn't much to do?
Avril: Yeah, I think so, plus half the time I was grounded and in my room and had nothing else to do but write, play my guitar.
Jenn: Were you a bad girl?
Avril: No.
Jenn: Skate punk?
Avril: You could say that.
Jenn: I read that you're a skater girl. What were you to that scene?
Avril: Pardon me?
Jenn: What were you to the skate kind of punk scene?
Avril: Which roomie? In high school, I hung around that group of guys who were skaters and I was always athletic and into sports and I just picked it up, thought it was cool. It's fun. I don't have a lot of time to skate now but definitely on tour, when we go on tour, the band and I, we will be taking our boards along and we're going to become pro skaters, rip it up!
Jenn: Now you're all in camo, baggy jeans, spikes on your wrists... do you feel the pressure to be more girlie?
Avril: No! I mean like it's so funny when I go to like photo shoots or whatever, they kind of want to make me more girlie and they have racks of clothing and I'm like "Let me see. Nope, nope, nope, not into heels, not into pearls. I think I'll just wear what I've got on now." My stylist hates me.
Jenn: I was at your web site, avrilonline.com, went into the message boards and someone who went to school with you said she remembered that you were a neat freak, that you were always cleaning your room and cleaning other people's bedrooms. Is this true? Were you cleaning your friends' bedrooms?
Avril: Yeah, I can't stand messes. That was back then. I couldn't stand messes. Now I'm a fairly messy chick.
