Avril Lavigne

There have been a few small bits of news about Avril Lavigne lately, so I figured I do a post that included all of them at once!

The first story is that Avril has teamed up with other Canadian artists to protect their Canadian fans from getting in trouble for downloading music!

Part of one news article says:

Broken Social Scene and Avril Lavigne may not have much in common musically, but they share a concern for the way music is shared and listened to in Canada.

To ensure the voice of musicians is heard in the copyright debate, Steven Page of the Barenaked Ladies created the Canadian Music Creators Coalition. Members of Blue Rodeo along with Sam Roberts, John K Sampson of The Weakerthans, Broken Social Scene, Randy Bachman, Chantal Kreviazuk, Sum 41, Avril Lavigne and others have publicly joined the coalition...

The three core values of the organization are these:

- suing fans is wrong and counterproductive;
- digital locks on music, which prevent music from being copied to other media players, are standing in the way of music getting to the fans;
- and that Canadian musicians deserve support from the government.

Avril Attends "Over the Hedge" Premiere

A week or so ago, Avril attended a premiere showing of "Over the Hedge" all glammed up!

The British Daily Record said:

ROCKER Avril Lavigne has binned the punk and grunge gear and replaced it with a natty black cocktail dress.

She wowed fans with her new look as she strolled up the red carpet at a film premiere in Los Angeles.

The 21-year-old Canadian provides the voice of Heather the possum in animated film Over The Hedge.

Even her trademark Converse baseball boots were swapped for a pair of high heels.

But her black eye make-up appears to have survived the makeover.

The picture to theright is one photo of Avril at the premiere, and they can all be seen in this story that also mentions actress Brooke Shields and her husband and daughter were there - click here to see the pics (at the bottom)
