Avril Lavigne Clothing Line For 2008, Rings In New Year Vegas Style

Avril Lavigne, one of Canada's finest exports, recently rang in the new year in Las Vegas with husband Deryck Whibley and special guest DJ Lil' Jon. The party was set up at new hot spot prive (pronounced preee-vay), and a fun time was had by all.

Lavigne is excited for her tour in support of her new album, The Best Damn Thing, but she revealed she has much more lined up for 2008.

Video clip :

Avril Lavigne On New Years Plans

"My New Year's Resolution is just to just work really hard because I'm about to kick off my world tour, and to be healthy and be a good person and just to expand creatively with thing like...I'm going to do a clothing line. I'm going to do a fragrance, and to do lots and keep it going."

Lavigne shared what the scene was like for her New Year's Eve in Vegas.

Avril Lavigne On Vegas Prive Appearance

"Well, I love Vegas. I've never actually spent New Year's Eve here before. I'm super-excited to be here. Prive invited me to come, and I'm very excited about the club. It's brand new, top of the notch. It's totally the place to be. I brought all of my friends. I have about ten of my friends with me and we're just going to party our butts off."

Avril's North American Best Damn Tour begins March 5 in Victoria, British Columbia, and then she'll head to Europe in late May with dates currently extending through June.

OMG a clothing line and a fragrance??

What a total sell-out! Seriously, she is going against everything she said she wouldnt do when she first started in the music business. She said in interviews that she doesnt conform to girly fashion trends, and she is trully punk and wears what she wants. And her music has become more poppy mainstream too.

Absolute Bullsh!t.

[Invisible Girl]

i'm quite surprised, actually. i wasn't really expecting all this from her. but if this is what she wants to do then she can, i guess. good luck!

[efferus]

"and be a good person"

Bullshit. You're scum, and I hope one day it all comes back to you, Avril. A personal buddy of mine who worked security got fired because of this bitch because he dared to "talk" to her. You deserve the worst, and I wish you the worst, you prissy bitch.

[am_all_reet!]

lol, this makes me laugh...to be honest we cant call her a sell out, she apitomized coporate rock from day one

Exactly.

OMG, SHE TOTALLY SOLD OUT FROM THE TR00 PUNK SCENE THAT SHE STARTED IN!

[Td_Nights]

Meh.

Let her do whatever, at least she's gotten this far.

[ctb]

Nice idea. But, I wonder if it will actually do well.

[Jonjy2]

Wow she looks so much better...

Last I remember seeing anything of her she was soo ditsy and whory-looking...

Hopefully she's on the road up... xD

(Maybe she'll be nightwish's new singer in 5 years?) :p:

Oh God I hope not lol, let's keep Anette in NW :P

I always thought Avril did look *****y these days to be honest. Very far form this tom-boy image she tried to portray in the beginning. A clothing line and a fragrance is just the opitimisation of sell out imo.

[sinterpol]

why the phuck is this on the front page?

[Kanthras]

Her eyelashes are ****ing huuuuge!

Eww. Ugly.

I liked her better when she wasn't as girly.

[Toilets]

It's an achievment to sell out when your music is manufactured crap from the beginning. Well done.

[huevomax]

To all the people who are here just to discriminate her, please stop. I don't like her either but I don't get why you're insulting her for doing what she wants to do.

..because of a clothing line and fragrance release....calm down you crazy fool!!!!

personally...not a huge fan of her new album... first was great, I was young and getting into fun music!! her 2nd one was her best easily... im totally gonna buy lotsa avril line clothes. I like her...i understand why so many of you don't but hey, I've grown up and accepted shes 'the best damn thing' around in pop music these days!!! (see what i did there HA im funny). Anyways...leave her alone shes done nothing to hurt any of you, shes just graced your ears with her awesome tunes!

Because she made it personal when she made my buddy lose his job. She's not a musician. She's not even worthy enough to be called a performer. She deserves none other than to be ridiculed and to lose all of her fortune, and I do truly wish all the worst onto her and her career.

I think S2S was being sarcastic Ringer. Why am I here?

Bashing on Avril Lavigne seems passe at this point. However, I'm happy for her new clothing line, because the hotter a star gets, the sooner they burn out. And how could anyone think she was punk, ever? Is this really what punk has come to that she could even be slightly mistaken for it?

I'm gonna go listen to The Clash.

[SoKi]

Avril is shit!

Completelly solded out!!!

First, she was that punk girl that did what she wanted, now "I dont like your girlfriend, i think you need a new one..." and she dances and stuff...
GOD!!! she never desearved to play in Metllica MTV Icon!!! NEVER!!!!

tha hell with her!

[Guitar_Jester]

Well, good luck to her! I'm not a fan, but I don't hate her. I wish her the best.

bitch

[HexaDakota]

Does she even play guitar? Why is this story on the front page? Why is this even music news?

Never liked her music, but she does have an amazing voice. Gotta give her that much.

[clazz]

What the hell is it with celebrities having their own damn fragrances at the moment?

[Sid McCall]

Yeah, she actually plays guitar.

But did anyone else read the last few lines and do the math that she only has ten friends total?

[philjay]

Fuck yeah I haven't thought of that...oh well Hayley's buff anyways..

[efferus]

youre such a loser... chill out

Oh yes, I am such a loser because I'm willing to criticize her and put her in her place. Everyone should know just how much of a mega-bitch she is, and every time her name is mentioned I'll do just that.

[emocore89]

I think she is two-faces!All of this is because she has win a lot of money.Every good bands change after all,Good Charlotte, Green Day, and Avril Lavigne too.

I was honestly thinking she was gunna disappear after the whole plagiarizing thing... still rich as hell it looks. Maybe my band should just straight up take Slayer riffs and put new vocals on top of them or something so we can get signed already too..

br00tal!!!!

but seriously..... isnt she free 2 do wot she wants..... even tho she has linked 'creativity' with just following all the other pop divas.....

[Hultan]

I don't understand how there can be so many complains about this... Sure, she does crappy music but that's one thing.
There was a poll a while ago that was about "would you take it up the butt for 2 million dolar?", and almost everyone voted "HELL YEAH". So would you do mainstream music for 10 times more? "HELL YEAH" (I guess). Don't bash her for doing it for the money, I guess you've job too.

[Fry3103]

Totally agree Hultan.
I ask myself if all the musicians are a f***ing bunch of jealous, lousy little losers. It's always the same comments on Greenday, Blink182 or whatever other "sell-out" bands who "betrayed" the "true" punk scene... Get a life. Actually I dont like Avril's music. But everyone tries to make money out of sth. and this girl made it. And she's got a cute voice.

And a nice ass

[Muppet]

"I brought all my friends".... "I have ten friends"..... I rest my case.

[Runofbadluck]

She's married?

Sid McCall wrote:

Yes, I did =P I was reading through the comments wondering if anybody would pick up on it...

[Relax]

Good for her. She's finally giving back to her 10 year old fans, a clothing line.

[Aziraphale]

She's free to do what she wants, even if she is now exactly the person she was originally a counter-reaction to (I won't go into musical talent here, but her original audience were indeed the somewhat outcast, tomboyish teenage girls, not the girly girls, and she was very different from all the pop stars in her lyrics and general image). But I guess getting a clothing line and perfume is the last nail in the coffin of whatever individuality she had compared to the britneys and jessicas and hilarys and parises and so on... she's just another variation on vanilla now.

well said sir, well said

[aliceinnirvana]

Wow. That sums it up pretty well. Wow.
Man, her name sounds like a prescription drug.
That's got to be the first thing I think when I hear of her.
Anyways, this is pretty ridiculous.
But whatever, this article wasn't that informative.
Though I guess we now know she just has ten friends.

[pdq13]

It's a business ladies and gentlemen.It's all about a profit just like your boss at work.Her managers are attempting(with success)to jam ten gallons of shit into a five gallon bucket.I never made the association between Avril Lavigne and music anyway!I wonder what David Bow-Wheee(Bowie)thinks about her?

I agree. And whoever the guy is that got "fired" chill out. He probably got another job by now. I couldn't be paid enough to work security for Avril because of all the people who loathe her.

[Korzack]

1: I really don't give 2 damns, but reading these was quite amusing
2: After reading 1 guys' comments earlier on, I'd noticed she seems to have a face like a Shark - Doesn't have your best interests at heart.
3: Well you can;t hide the profits forever, y'know...
4:... Only reason they keep posting Avril new is for the flame-fests... Imagine an UG version of 'monty python and the holy grail' 'We found Avril, may we burn her?':p:... Although who'd be the knights of NI!

[shift3448]

why is this news i dont think anybody gives a ****

I really don't like pop-rock, but damn, Paramore is amazing. Hayley doesn't need to change a thing about herself, nor the band.

[Pretty_Much]

hahaha! she said she only has 10 friends. "I brought all of my friends. I have about ten of my friends with me". lol :P

[Hultan]

Oh yeah, bigtime!

[the boogieman]

+1 to the hayley williams comment


avril sure knows how to make money and exploit teenage girls

Happy New Year Avril LaFake.

[Sean-Man]

good for her

[skindred]

ah let her do what she wants, she went down the drain as soon as she did that horrible horrible cover of chop suey so she'll burn out in a few years.

sorry, that word was just too good to be true

[.6.bullets.]

...blah. : |
Not that Avril was ever bona fide 'punk'....but she used to be an almost-decent artist, and her first two albums were pretty enjoyable. I liked her alot back when I was a little younger. To be honest, this new image she's beenpushed into by her record company, publicity...whatever it was, it's trash. Nothing's wrong with pop-rock and stuff, but it's kid of shameful that Avril's stil saying she's punk... Get it straight, woman...She said she was 'maturing', but really, The Best Damn thing just sounds like a 10-years old girl's Dear Diary after she's learned how to swear.Not impressive.
But either way, as for the clothing line and stuff I guess that's typical for someone like her now.

Speakng of fragrances, I'd heard Marilyn Manson is putting one out. o_o Anybody want to verify that?

agree, i use to like her when she had that attitude

[dudewithapen]

All these childish noobs are more interesting than the article...and wondering if anyone would ever spell epitome right. They didn't, btw

Pretty girl who had some good albums. And yes, whatever noob said she wasn't even a musician, she is. If you play an instrument that makes music, you are a musician. Go back to English Language 101.

[DopeDanny]

i dont care what she does id **** her lmao

[anthonyd3ca]

i still think shes hot.

[superzentredi]

As one of her fans, and I think she is so freakin tired of having to continually prove that she isn't manufactured by her record label. Avril is a true artist, and musician, and songwriter, that her 'image' is not something someone came up with to sell records. Avril just happens to like pop, catchy songs with an aggressive edge. The Best Damn thing is the most addictive album this decade, and her tour is going to ****'n rock. You see how truly freakin talented she is when you see her live. That she is responsible for everything to see and hear. I cant wait to see what she does next, Avril has a long career ahead of her. She aint going anywhere!
Man I love it how she pisses off so many people, especially so many people here. Avril thrives on people who hate her, it means shes doing something right.

[6sic6_blank]

She's hot...that's about it.

[paramore_fans]

to the people who give negative comments about her

all I gotta say if FUCK YOU!!!

Leave avril alone!!! just because she's doing a clothing line doesn't mean that she's abandoning her music, you have to understand that she's expanding creatively!!! Let her do other categories besides music!!!

Avril rocks!!! Haters ****ing sucks!!!

How is selling your name to a bunch of sleezy pricks being creative? The only thing expanding is her ******* from all the people shes letting screw her so she can climb the CORPORATE ladder.

Corporate sell out slut

[Aidy Damage]

If I wanted an article on a clothing line, I'd sneak onto my girlfriend's fashion.com account.

With 'The Best Damn Thing', Avril really went against everything she said was. She's just a hypocrite now.

[Under_The_Oath]

It's all very ****ing commercial, I must say...

[petrina_678]

i dont think she was ever "truly" punk ... she probably faked that image to begin with , cos she guessed or knew that would make her popular...

WELL WHATEVER.

[capt_rags]

You know. I'm rooting for her. I'm not seeing the problem. I don't see how she's "selling out". She's making money. And if you're jeleous cause she's making more money than you. then shove it. If you don't like her, shove it. I hate her music. But if she can keep on going. Go for it.

[BlakeWilde]

She was never punk. Listen to Skater "boi". If you think this is punk music, go by a rifle and shoot yourself in the genitals so you cannot procreate.

im a fan of hers, some people are probably laughing at me for admitting that but i do tend to like some of her songs. but this still sounds like she is just using her name for money... sell out?

[+}-136-{+]

I don't know if I should laugh, cry, or just sigh at the pure idiocy of all this. Selling out is when you change your musical style for commercial gain. I do not see how Avril starting a clothing line or creating fragrances makes her a sell out. Designing clothing is simply another creative outlet, as is creating music.

[XXm3t@lXX]

she was never punk.
never will be punk.
and should never even have the word "punk" in the same sentence as her ****ing name

Fergie's music runs creative laps around what Avril's putting out lately. Avril uses one chord progression and that's I V VI IV.

[Aziraphale]

Just noticed her "top of the notch, totally the place to be" comment too. I guess she is very punk after all, damn.

[paramore_fans]

There's nothing with a CLOTHING LINE!!!! punk bands like BLINK 182 has a clothing lines too such as ATTICUS, MACBETH and FAMOUS STARS AND STRAPS!!! as well as SIMPLE PLAN's ROLE MODEL!!!

Avril has a PUNK ROCK song seriously!!! listen to her song EVERYTHING BACK BUT YOU explicit on this video link
