Global Warming?

I just want to say that I'm listening to her third (studio) album and enjoying it a lot. Even the songs where she raps, shitly and the ones where she rips off NOFX, who are awful.

Yeah, I like it too. It did take me a while to really appreciate it but after considering it on its own merits (as her 'difficult' third album) I think it's very good. There's some really great tracks on there. 'I Can Do Better' and 'Keep Holding On' especially are as good as anything from her first two albums. It's just a shame that the whole thing sort of gets dominated by the Girlfriend song, which I like but tend to think of as a bit of a mistake, direction-wise.

Speaking of wrong directions, I'm not quite sure what to make of her new single. She does seem to be a bit too desperate to find a new path at the moment, which is leading her up a fair few creative cul-de-sacs. The new album is due out soon and is supposedly a more accoustic affair. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.

saw her on american idol and she acted like a right bitch.

yeah, I saw her on that too, and I agree.

She used to play skate punk.
Now skate punk is dead, but Avril remains, cause she's soo cute.

Avril Lavigne Engaged to Nickelback's Chad Kroeger

Whoa, Canada!

Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's relationship has been so quiet that few even knew they were dating. Now, after a six-month courtship, the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married, Lavigne's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger, 37, first got together in February to co-write a song for Lavigne's upcoming fifth studio album.

"A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together," a Lavigne pal tells PEOPLE.

On Aug. 8, Kroeger popped the question, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond sparkler.

"He makes her so happy," a family source tells PEOPLE. "Both of their families could not be more excited."

It will be Kroeger's first trip down the aisle, and the second marriage for Lavigne, who split from Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2009. She had also dated Brody Jenner.

I haven't heard it in a while, but I'll bet I still know all the songs. Avril must have been on tour that year, and I'm guessing she made a stop in St. Louis. My friend got tickets and invited me along. I would've went, but I think I was busy that day, I can't really remember. Anyway, she bought this Avril wristband at the concert (brought back a sticker for me, I think), and started wearing it to school. Then this girl, who was a grade ahead of us and who probably thought of herself as having excellent taste in music, made some comment about the wristband and how she hated Avril or something of the sort. I felt bad for my friend, I mean I could tell she was embarrassed because this happened in front of a bunch of other people, so I tried telling her not to pay any attention to that girl because she was one of those people who had the hots for old dead rock stars like Jim Morrison & Co. And I think I said something like, "If you stop wearing your wristband just because Maddy doesn't like Avril, I am never speaking to you again."

And that is my Avril story.

High school politics is a bugger, ain't it?
