Avril Lavigne

Hi, again : ) . Just some more cool stuff from my interview with Avril Lavigne's Pizza Boi. :)

In the last post i was talking about signing Avrils guestbook. VERY BIG ! Not to mention it was the 6th book . Maybe she already has it ? Bill from La Pizzeria sends them to her whenever they get full so hopefully she's read my message i left her. If you want to check out the picture of me signing it , it's on my first page about visiting La Pizzeria.

When I was there Bill showed me alot of different pictures of Avril with him and his family at the restaurant and lots of pictures from the tour bus. She also got them VIP passes to the Juno Music Awards a few years ago too. Pretty cool - they're ACTUALLY friends with Avril ! :)

I asked him about the fans that came into the restaurant and he said that there had been some from as far as AUSTRALIA and JAPAN! Another guy came in and asked what booth Avril ate pizza in, Bill told him every booth so the guy video taped himself eating pizza in all of the booth's! Pretty funny stuff.

Another cool thing , When Avril was on the Jimmy Kimmel live show he phoned up Bill and asked him a few questions about Avril while she was there. He must have been suprised !!. Just after that they sent him a tape of the show, so he could hear himself on TV ! .

So if you're travelling by Napanee, which is near Kingston, Ontario and between Ottawa and Toronto (about 3 hours from Toronto and 2 or so hours from Ottawa?), I would definately recommend going into La pizzaria, the pizza is actually very good and well, Avril loves it !.

La Pizzeria is only about 5 minutes away from the 401 highway, so it doesn't take much time to get there if you're already driving by. The picture at the top shows what the front of the store looks like - it's on the north side of the street.

And you can get directions to get there by choosing "Directions" at Google Maps and putting your address as the "Start Address" and La Pizzeria's address in the "End Address" (17 Dundas St E, Napanee, ON, Canada) if you live anywhere in North America. You can also see a Google satellite map of where the restaurant is by clicking on the little map to the right (the red thing shows where La Pizzeria is) or just click here.


BTW, I'll be visiting Bill again soon, so if you have any questions about Avril you want me to ask him - just add a comment here or contact me! :)

It's Avril's birthday today! She's 21 !

Some other famous people who have a birthday today are:

- Randy Bachman who's a Canadian singer for Bachman-Turner Overdrive and The Guess Who before that (both huge classic Canadian bands) - he's 62.
- Rock singer Brad Arnold (3 Doors Down) is 27.
- Rapper Lil' Wayne is 23.
- Also Singer Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind is 41.

So lots of singers share Avril's birthday with her!
Oh and actress Gwyneth Paltrow is 33 too. :)


I took a look for some other stuff that happened on September 27th in history and found this stuff:

-In 1964, the Warren Commission issued a report concluding that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating President Kennedy.

- In 1939, Warsaw, Poland, surrendered after weeks of resistance to invading forces from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II. (Boo!)

-In 1942, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra performed together for the last time, at the Central Theater in Passaic, N.J., prior to Miller's entry into the Army. (There's a road named after him not far from Napanee, just off the 401 highway and near Trenton I think)

So Happy Birthday Avril !!

Hey!

Just found a pretty neat website about some Avril Lavigne ' Facts.'

I'm not too sure about ALL of them though, one mentioned that she was lactose intolerant,( cant eat any dairy products.) BUT if she was, well then i dont think he favorite pizza would have cheese on it : ) Cheese IS a dairy product after all, and if your lactose intolerant then you would get sick from it .

I'm not sure or anything though , just a guess .

Here are the interesting facts!

I'm still writing up my 2nd post about Avril's fav pizza place, but just read a article about Avril getting Punk'd and thought I'd post that first.

I thought it was pretty cool, unfortunatly I haven't gotten a chance to see the show yet but it sounds pretty cool . Apparently this prank left Avril in tears. Basicly she parks her car and the Punk'd team waits for her to get out of sight then they block her car with another car leaving her to help an attendant move the vechile that was in the way. The car rolled and went crazy it caught on fire and even tore apart a motorbike. All of this of course causing Avril to " burst into tears ".

If you want to read more about the story here's the link http://www.sky.com/showbiz/article/0,,50001-1192817,00.html.

UPDATE: And here's the video!

Earlier this year I read some news online that said that Avril didnt like the pizza's ingredients from her favorite pizza place in Napanee anymore and that it upset the restaurant owners (like this article). But the articles didn't really talk much about exactly what the owner of the pizza restauraunt said or make sure it was even true!

So a few months after I read that, i decided that because i lived so close to the "La Pizzeria" that i would go in and talk to the owner (Bill ... Avril's Pizza Boi ! lol) about Avril and what she was like, and of course the rumour that the pizza they named after her wasn't her favorite pizza anymore.

So below are my questions to Bill and what he said! : )

How often did Avril come to this Pizzaria ?
- All the time.

What was her favorite pizza ?
- Olives, mushrooms & pepperoni.

Would you say that Avril "behaved" when she came in, or was she like, loud & obnoxious?
- She behaved well and was good.. she was quiet and always used to bring her plate up to the counter when she was finished.

How long has Avril come to your Pizzeria for?
- about 8 years.

When was the last time she came in?
- Around November (2004). <-- and I asked him these questions before summer this year, so she may have visited La Pizzaria since then... I don't know for sure...
2006 UPDATE: I last heard that Avril was there during the Christmas of 2005 .

Is Avril's favorite pizza popular?
- Yes, very popular.

Are you aware of the news reports that came out last month, that said " Avril doesnt like pizza with the same ingrediants as she used to?
- * Shrugs * Yeah, that's just the tabloids. :)

Are you going to keep the Avril pizza ingrediants the same or are you planning on changing them ?
- Yes, i am keeping them the same.

How often do you send Avril her signed guestbook (a huge book fans can write message to Avril in)?
- About every 6 months.


So I did find out that the rumors weren't true about him being upset and doesn't believe those "tabloid" reports. And i can see why its Avril's favorite pizza place because the pizza was great.! Not to mention the poutine (my favorite food) - the cheese there is really gooey, exactly how Avril described it, and it was different (better!) than other places I've had it from. And Bill and his wife Marina are super nice - just like Avril's said!

In my next entry i will mention a couple of other things Bill and i talked about, and i'll also show you directions to get to Avril's favorite pizza place!

Update: Part 2 is here!
