Avril Lavigne Asking for Divorce

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Divorce

UPDATE: You can read Avril’s personal note on the divorce here.

Whispers about a possible split have just grown louder. It’s now being reported that divorce papers will be filed shortly for Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley.

Avril is said to have asked Deryck, whom she wed three years ago, to move out of their Los Angeles mansion after calling time on their relationship. “She dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on,” a source told Us Weekly magazine.

The Sum 41 rocker is apparently “crushed” by his wife’s decision and was hoping to work through their problems.

Avril, 24, is so determined to distance herself from the relationship that she has decided to ditch tracks she worked on with Deryck from her upcoming album. “She is going to do new songs that don’t have his mark on them. She wants no trace of him,” a friend told the magazine.

The couple’s marriage has reportedly been in trouble for months now, with Avril often seen partying with friends without her husband. In June, Deryck went to the Los Angeles premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen alone while Avril spent a week holidaying in Saint-Tropez with pals.

Deryck, 29, was also not present when Avril showed her new clothing collection at New York Fashion Week on Monday. Whibley’s representative did not comment on the report, while Lavigne’s could not be reached.

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley Headed For Divorce

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Divorce, Rumors

“Punk” pop princess Avril Lavigne was recently seen partying without her husband, Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley, fueling rumors about a divorce.

Now, sources close to the couple are confirming that the Canadian pair are headed for divorce after three years of marriage.

“She wanted to get away from Deryck and have a weekend to herself,” the source revealed, when asked about Avril’s weekend trip to the Southampton.

The couple haven’t been photographed together since last December; Whibley’s solo appearance at L.A.‘s Transformers premiere (while Avril was in Saint-Tropez with girlfriends) didn’t do much to sway the gossip.

Divorce at a young age… kind of reminds me of that Britney girl Avril dislikes so much.

Avril Lavigne Launches Fragrance

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Style, Rumors

For someone who has lashed out about her fellow pop rivals like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and even Paris Hilton, newlywed Avril Lavigne is hypocritically following right in their footsteps by launching a fragrance line.

The 23 year old “punk”-turned-glam girl has already penned a deal with Proctor & Gamble Prestige Products, she divulges to Women’s Wear Daily: “Creating this fragrance is a fun process and I am looking forward to sharing it with everyone.”

No word yet as to an exact date; however, if you truly plan on purchasing the product, you can expect it in late 2009. As much as I loathe her, I can never deny how large her fan base is. There are, after all, too many confused pre-teens and misguided teenagers who would succumb to actually spending money on this. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hot Topic ended up supplying the perfume, either.
