[454x699]Avril Ramona Lavigne (born September 27, 1984) is a Canadian pop rock singer-songwriter and occasional actress who is known for her "skater punk" persona. Her two albums, Let Go (2002) and Under My Skin (2004), topped the charts in numerous countries.
Although her surname is of French origin, she herself does not speak French and her name is pronounced in an anglicized way, somewhat as "La-veen". Her first name, Avril, is French for April, but is also pronounced in an anglicized, way as "Av-ril", rather than "avReel".
The classification of Lavigne's style of music has been debated. All Music Guide and other reviewers consider her "teen pop" or "adult/alternative pop-rock". It is questioned whether her music style is punk. The reason for the confusion appears to be for her punk-like appearance early in her career, along with statements made by the songstress herself that she is "as punk as they come". However, there have been several occasions where she has stated "I'm not punk." Lavigne told Vainquer Magazine in April 2005 that she considered her music to be pop rock. Though she cites many early punk bands and figures as influences (most notably Sid Vicious), her music has little in common with 1970s punk.
Lavigne spoke about her new look in a September 2006 interview. She explains, "When I was in high school I was a little shit, hanging out with the guys, getting drunk, getting in fights, playing hockey. My band were all guys, so I was only around guys, but when I got older I started being more of a chick. I broke out on the scene looking like the 17-year-old that I was. And from then to now I look really different—but that's called growing up."
On September 26, 2006, Lavigne was caught spitting on a photographer's face outside Hyde nightclub in Los Angeles after the paparazzo caught her kissing her husband Deryck Whibley in her car. On September 27, 2006, her twenty-second birthday, Lavigne exited a club with her husband and a few friends only to find herself surrounded by paparazzi and autograph-seekers. She gave her autograph along with some profanity to the seekers. After she got into her car, she leaned out the window and spat on the camera lens of the nearest photographer. Lavigne later issued a public apology for spitting on the photographers, claiming "It's trying at best dealing with their insistent intrusions. I meant no offense to my fans, whose relationship I truly value." No detailed explanation was offered for the incident.
Lavigne appeared to pose topless in the June 2007 issue of U.S. magazine Blender. She later said to MTV that she was actually wearing a tubetop and the magazine just covered it with the banner to make her look topless.
