From the sounds of it, Avril Lavigne has not had too much luck pleasing her fans this year, no matter where they may be located. This year she had to cancel a run of 6 concerts in order to heal from a bout of laryngitis which was said to disappoint many of her groupies. Just recently, the country of Malaysia has strongly urged her to cancel her scheduled concert there citing the all too often used ‘too sexy’ reason. Avril was expected to begin a month long tour in Asia next week, beginning on Friday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but Malaysia’s Islamic opposition thinks her on stage antics are far too liberal for the Muslim nation. They used the excuse that Malaysian’s Independence Day was arriving on August 31, and that Avril’s concert would not promote the values that country has worked so hard to employ.

It is considered too sexy for us. … It’s not good for viewers in Malaysia,” said Kamarulzaman Mohamed, a party official. “We don’t want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models.”

A protest letter has been sent to the Culture, Arts, and Heritage Ministry, as well as to the Kuala Lumpur mayor. As it stands now, an ‘official’ who wishes to remain anonymous, says the government has not given permission for the concert yet. Is that not a little odd to anyone? I mean….hm. Would a concert be booked, even in a foreign country, without approval from the government *in some way* first? Something funny there….BUT, there may be hope yet. Yet another spokesman of the country says there is relative confidence in getting the permit, that *most* communication has been positive. HOWEVER this is another spokesman in Malaysia that is citing ‘protocol’ as a reason for wishing to remain anonymous. Ok, I gotta know, what happens to the Malaysians when they are caught talking to the press?? If in fact the concert is a go, Avril will have to wear clothing without obscene or drug related images, and will need to be covered from the chest to the knees. She also won’t be able to jump, shout, hug, or kiss ANYONE in public. Again, this is all too weird to me. Wasn’t a season of Survivor filmed there? From my recollection, that alone is a show where hugging, jumping, shouting, and kissing, occurs frequently. Furthermore, Survivor castaways are also definitely NOT covered from chest to knees at ANY given moment. Weird!

We all know how much Ashton Kutcher likes to pull fast one’s on A-listers, and his new prank show “Pop Fiction” does just that. The show is kind of a Punk’d spinoff. But instead of him pulling the pranks, it’s other A-Listers pulling the pranks on the paps. Think Victoria Beckham’s dummy doll in the limo…on a much larger scale. Avril Lavigne was the recent prankster making bloggers, and celeb gossipers all over dishing gossip about her latest baby rumors. She donned a fake baby bump and melted some major plastic with a massive shop of baby items on Robertson Blvd., the perfect place to be seen. And oh, she was. And oh did they talk. Celeb newsers and gossipers all over had it hammered out that she was knocked up, all this shortly after she gave an interview saying she wanted to have kids ‘one day’. Who wouldn’t believe it? I think it’s a fun concept for a show, and a great way for the celebs to say, hey, back OFF. But it may not last very long, because some celebs *cough PARIS* actually enjoy that spotlight. But in the meantime, props to Ashton for making us laugh. Again.

Avril Lavigne has a lot to brag about. Not only is she stunning her fans with 3 platinum albums and over 35 million records sold, but this 23 year old is smoking up the pages of Maxim. She did a super-sexy photo shoot with Maxim and dished the dirt on her latest life happenings. In terms of her upcoming world tour, she is very excited and tells her fans to expect a much bigger show than in the past. And think pink for this one. Lots of it. And if you were to buy her a drink? Well, a few years ago it may have been some Jagermeister, but this rocker is mellowing out a little bit more as of late. She’s a wine girl. If you really want to impress her? Opus One. Not often you see a rocker sipping the vino, but with Avril, there’s always a surprise around the bend. Check her out in the March issue of Maxim.

It seems that Avril Lavigne wants to join the ranks of Posh, Celine, Britney, and Shania among many others. What do all these celebs have in common? Their own fragrance line complete with all the pretty smelly doodads that go with it – lotion, talc, soap, aftershave, etc. Avril wants to trademark her name in connection with a variety of pretty smelly things and in fact has even made moves with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to do so. Of course, none of Avril’s people can be reached for comment on the subject, but it’s interesting to say the least. Who woulda thunk that this cute little pop singer had some business hootzpah?

No, Avril Lavigne isn’t pregnant. Are we shocked? Thanks to the big mouth of radio host Zack Taylor, there were in fact some knocked up rumors knocking around that the rock artist was in the family way. The story was given to him by some ‘insider’ and other reports indicated that her hubby Deryck Whibley was telling the world that she was about 6 weeks along. Avril’s record label has vehemently denied the rumors saying that it’s simply not true. However, Avril has stated that she does want kids and the term ‘down the road’ was used. Hmmm….and to think, she even got a little publicity out of the rumor, didn’t she? Isn’t this how the Katie/Tom/Suri thing started? Yes we want children together, no it’s not a good time right now, guess what we’re having a baby! How long do you figure before an announcement is made? While she may not be preggers now, I think we’ll be hearing sooner than later that she is….just a hunch.
