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.

No, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out who is the supermodel in this picture and who is the pop artist. Here you see Petra Nemcova and Avril Lavigne attending the KOI opening in Vegas and they paused for a few shots together. Petra is seen towering over Avril, which is funny because I guess you don’t really realize how short a celeb is until they’re standing next to supergiants. This didn’t stop either of them from looking killer dynamite for the event, as they both appeared in gorgeous satin black dresses that complemented their fabulous smiles.

Sum 41 performed at the Intersection in Grand Rapids Michigan on Thursday night and a Best Celeb Gossip reader was able to meet up with Avril Lavigne at her unofficial post-concert birthday party.

Here’s what the reader said:

After the Sum 41 concert at The Intersection in Grand Rapids on Thursday, Avril had a small birthday party in the venue with her husband and his bandmates. We were eventually able to get her a message that some of her fans were waiting with gifts for her outside and she came right out. She was absolutely thrilled with the gifts we gave her and ended up talking to us for over 15 minutes until finally Deryck told her they had to go because the tour bus wanted to leave. We asked Avril and Deryck if we could get photos with them and they were absolutely happy to do it. So we all got individual photos with Avril and then the two people I was with took photos with Deryck, but just as I was about to take my photo with Deryck, Avril started asking me what I was studying in university so I missed getting one. Then, when he came back to say they had to leave Avril asked him to take a picture with me first because I had missed getting one before! By this time I had even forgotten that I hadn’t had a photo with Deryck, but she still remembered.

I guess you really don’t know what a star’s like in person until you actually meet them. It’s good to hear that Avril and Deryck are super down-to-earth and that they appreciate their fans. Click here to read more about the meet up with Avril Lavigne! Thanks Sharifa :)
