Avril Lavigne hasn’t been known to be very caring of her fans but she still bothered to talk about her recent performance cancellation on her official blog. The singer and so-called songwriter said “I am at home right now taking it easy. I have been sick this whole tour, and now I have lost my voice. I have never canceled a show in my whole career and just had to for the first time ever. I am so sorry! I have been on the road for 60 days straight. I have had the flu 3 times and I never get sick, it just keeps going around. I think I am just run down.” She also talked about canceling other appearances like Jay Leno and Ryan Seacrest’s shows. Trust us Avril, whatever you have, whether the flu or a massive hangover, we would much rather you just stay home.

Much like the rest of the world, Buffalo, New York could care less about Avril Lavigne. Ticket sales for Avril’s current tour are so bad already and it gets worse by the day. Tickets for her upcoming show in Buffalo are selling so poorly that concert promoter Live Nation has had to cut down the prices drastically. You can now buy a whopping four tickets for just under $100 just to see Avril in her poorly reviewed show. I say just save your money and donate it to charity. But then again, with the way things are going, Avril can be considered charity already.

A pair of U.S. songwriters who accused Avril Lavigne of ripping off one of their tunes now say the songstress did nothing wrong.

Last summer, Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer alleged that Lavigne’s boppy track “Girlfriend” sounded suspiciously like the Rubinoos 1979 single, “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend.”

On Tuesday, Lavigne’s record company Nettwerk issued a statement from Dunbar and Gangwer in which the two men said: “We are satisfied that any similarities between the two songs resulted from Avril and Luke’s use of certain common and widely used lyrics.”

I hope they apologised too!

Avril Lavigne has been accused of stealing songs many times by many artists. But it seems that the Canadian singer and so-called songwriter wanted to make a fresh start in 2008 because she has just settled a plagiarism lawsuit brought against her by the band the Rubinoos, who claim that Avril’s song ‘Girlfriend’ sounded way too much like their song ‘I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend’.

The terms of the out of court deal are confidential. However, I can pretty much guarantee that Avril had to fork over some cash. Now I wonder if she would fork over money to Peaches and Chantal Kreviazuk and whoever else.

While Nelly Furtado won her own award and should get an award for being fabulous with her red carpet look, I can’t say the same for Avril Lavigne. Honestly, I would never say it even if she looked like Charlize Theron. She looked like a wannabe prom queen from the 80s.

The 23-year old ‘Girlfriend’ singer picked up the award for Most Addictive Track at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007 in Munich, Germany on Thursday. Avril accepted the award and said “This is amazing. I’d like to thank the fans for voting for me.”

It’s not that they wanted to. It just so happens that the song is so annoying and was stuck in their heads during the whole voting process.

Avril Ramona Lavigne Whibley is the biggest poser around. She says she’s punk rock and glam but all she really is, is this generation’s Tiffany. She’s not just a poser now, she’s become a clone!

Her ‘hardcore rocker’ self performed in Germany on Monday… at a mall of all places! Punk schmunk. There’s never been a bigger poser than Avril unless you count Paris Hilton at any event (or just her everyday life) with paparazzi buzzing around.

I say, she’s on the list of people that I want to disappear from the face of the earth. She’s joining Paris, Lindsay, KFed and Jessica Simpson.

This week on MTV Top 20. Fergie is topping the MTV Top 20 and also wrapping up the top 20 spot. She is currently floating on the number one spot with “Glamorous”, and she is also on the number twenty spot on the list with her “Fergilicious”. She is definitely in control of her crowd. But lets see if she can still hold on to her spot as Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend” is slowly climbing up. The skater girl is putting up a nice fight for the spot. But will her topless act on the Blender magazine enough to take the number one spot? We’ll still have to see. If you happen to notice Beyonce appears on the MTV Top 20 list 3 times. But will that also be enough to take the glamour out of Fergie? Maybe she’s just fergilicious.
