Avril Lavigne Serves As Canadian Ambassador

Avril Lavigne has been picked to represent her native Canada as an ambassador at China's forthcoming 2010 World Expo.

The singer, who was born in Ontario, is wildly popular in Asia and has even previously
recorded portions of her hit songs in Mandarin.

And now she will help bridge the gap between eastern and western cultures by travelling to Shanghai, China to represent her home country.

She writes on her MySpace.com blog, "On Friday (24Apr09), I was in Vancouver and honoured as the Canadian Ambassador for 2010 World Expo, Shanghai, China.

"It's really exciting as it's the first time China has ever hosted World Expo and the theme is Better City, Better Life. It's really cool that over 200 countries and international organisations are coming together at World Expo, Shanghai to create a better future for the world.

"I've played two shows in Shanghai. It's a great city and I look forward to visiting again next year. Avril."

You know what? Screw all of you haters! Hasn't your Mama ever taught you that if you ain't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all? Do you realize how much effort she has put into her life? What she's had to go through? For God's sake, at least she didn't end up like some anorexic failed-lesbian crack ***** like Lindsay Lohan!!! I mean, I used to love Ms. Lohan, but look what fame and skunk bags like you did to her! Avril has got guts and confindence and talent and most of all, a LIFE unlike all of you wannabe's. Not only is she the Lead Singer of her band, but she's also the Lead guitarist. If any of ya'll know anything about singing & guitar, it's that it's almost impossible to MASTER doing both at once. Seriously people? Go kiss a girl or something. Because you bite and need a life. Why don't you go pick on a no-talent druggie wannabe rockstar, like MC/HM or something? JESUS CHRIST-ALMIGHTY! LORD HELP US NOW!
P.S. Lindsay kind of brings a bad name to the gay community... GAY PRIDE!
