Why on earth if they’re “dating” do they look as far away from each other as possible? It doesn’t make sense… The extensions look terrible btw Perhaps the kiss was just a drunken mistake or something to screw with the media..... Or they are dating but she's seeing all the bad press she's getting and wants to make it look like they are not dating by keeping him at a distance in public. If they both have tickets to these fashion events they can't really avoid each other but they can walk at a distance and not hold hands. This whole thing is just weird. Edit: Well never mind they are holding hands.... She really just wants to burn everything to the ground doesn't she. This may or may not affect her career since there are plenty of shitty people in Hollywood who have good careers but damn. She's either not handling the break-up with Mod well or she just really doesn't give a fuck.

I've been a fan of Avril's since the beginning. I've never cared much about what she does in her personal life but this is not good. He's a groomer and an abuser... She really must be thinking oh well he's nice to me so I'll give him a chance or he can't be that bad.... Is she really that nieve or is something wrong with her..... Although now that I think about it she has a history of overlooking people's questionable and sometime awful behaviour i.e. Mason and MGK. As long and they are nice to her I guess is all that matters. To be fair to her, the Manson allegations have only come out (or at least become popular) rather recently. But, yeah. I'm shocked her team allows her to throw her reputation to waste by associating and working with these people when she's mostly been unproblematic for the majority of her career... True, but I only mentioned Manson because I swear I remember an interview from the last year where she mentioned him as being a cool collaborator she's worked with in the past. Maybe I'm wrong on that though. This whole mess does seem reminiscent of the aftermath of Avril and Deryck's divorce where she was hanging out with that guy who called Linsey Lohan a fire crotch.... She appears to be a terrible judge of character or she's one of those people who has to give everyone a chance even if they don't deserve it.

I haven't posted in a while but I can understand why some fans are disappointed in the live shows. I always thought the short compacted setlist was to make sure she could play an energetic live show because lyme did a number to her body. Considering the visuals and songs she picked this could have been an amazing tour, super upbeat and fun even with a short setlist. It appears it worked in Canada and those shows were really good. Sure fans want to hear more songs but if the visuals and energy are great you can forgive the shorter setlist. Unfortunately, her energy seems to have completely died and suddenly the short setlist sticks out even more and it makes her look lazy and uninspired (even if that's not true in reality). She said in an interview or Q&A recently that they worked really hard to improve the show for the Japan dates and I can't see hardly any changes other than cannonball is gone and IAM and HK added lol. I've been a fan since 2002 and I know she has never been a really energetic performer and I gave up on her ever performing the bulk of a new album years ago, but it seems to have gotten worse recently. I understand why some fans are saying to bring your pillow and watch Avril sleep onstage. I know she is a private person but if she is having a problem with energy levels due to lyme a quick "hey I'm having some off days right now" would go a long way to appeasing fans who are upset with the way the tour has gone so far. Of course, she doesn't have to say anything. She doesn't owe us anything but I can't see any future tours selling well if she doesn't figure something out.

Anyone who is in Europe with a physical CD does your copy have a parental advisory sticker on it? I went to two different stores to buy a copy but it didn't have the sticker and since my dumbass already bought the clean version on Itunes (and it won't let me buy the explicit album because they are "duplicates") I don't want to risk getting another clean copy; especially when the CDs are 18 euros as it is. The sticker isn’t required, “Avril Lavigne” also doesn’t have it if I remember correctly. In my country they sell explicit version, no word clean was even released physically. If you look at Instagram posts, if fans having the album, none has the sticker I feel like I knew this but I'm still so used to the way media is released in the US that I didn't want to risk it. Now I'm annoyed I wasted two metro tickets for nothing and I could have gotten the CD . One thing I did notice with the clean version is that Deja Vu is not considered explicit even though she says asshole and bullshit. Shit is also censored in another song.....I found it weird since you can't say that on TV or radio either in the US at least and I bought it from US iTunes.

Honestly I don't even think a clean physical version has been made. Clean is only iTunes I guess There are clean and explicit MP3s on Amazon music but I guess you're right, they probably didn't make a clean version except maybe in the US. They are at least supposed to have a sticker in the US. Mother's would march on Washington or threaten to sue Best Buy if their baby hears a naughty word ! (I can say this as an American who is currently living overseas). People complained about the Super Bowl half time show being obscene and everyone was fully clothed and couldn't curse!

I know for sure amazon exclusive in Europe doesn't have the sticker but the version is explicit Ok thanks! I assumed that the European market doesn't really care like the US one ( I hear songs with the F-word being spouted off in stores all the time lol) but I just wanted to make sure before I spent the money. Thanks !

I was so excited I accidentally bought the clean version on Itunes . I'm a bit annoyed with myself but I do plan on getting the physical album soon. So far I'm really enjoying it. I haven't listened to the whole album yet but I have no real negative things to say. *Ok Avalanche just made me cry. I've been dealing with so much anxiety damn this just hit me hard.

I think she hasn't lost her passion for creating music but may have lost her drive to promote it and share it with the world. I wouldn't be surprised if she's burnt out by the business part of it but still loves creating. She seems to have a great time in the studio writing and creating new songs, then when it comes to promoting the new music, things fall apart and she often seems disinterested. I would say it's probably more likely she lost passion for the job than she lost passion for music.

When Avril talked shit about RCA delaying GL it came back to bite her in the ass. Now she keeps quiet about the business side of things. She can't tweet herself without potentially making things more complicated for herself, but she can message a fan with a vague message about what's going on knowing that they will put her message out. As long as she doesn't consistently message fans and keeps her messages vague she can claim she didn't mean for it to get out she was just talking to her fans. I think that's what she's been doing at least since HAW. It's annoying as shit for us fans not knowing what's going on, but I can kinda understand it if she's trying to keep the business side of things quiet and that's where the problems are. She's probably well known by now for being difficult in the industry. She better not make things worse for herself or else she'll never be able to distribute any new music.
If she communicated more it would be nice, but as my grandpa used to say "if a bullfrog had wings it wouldn't bump it's butt." I'm not holding out hope for anything regarding the new music until it's ready for release.

It's really weird that she just disappeared recently after being out and about fairly consistently. Barely any social media, even to promote Grow, and no new paparazzi pics or anything. She's just disappeared. I don't expect to hear about her album for some time but at least there was something related to her to look at from January to June.

That is Mod Sun's dog named Chuko! More dog content, please! So cute And I personally have no problem at all with her not wearing a bra. I imagine it must feel more comfortable and perhaps even liberating. She's literally just going about her regular day walking their dog and living life. She should be free to wear what she wants and feels comfortable in. I think as a society we have been questioning and changing a lot of old standards and rules and we'll probably end up reaching a point where it's no longer considered offensive seeing the outline of a nipple through a shirt Is the dog male or female? It’s very interesting it’s his dog but this is the first time we’re seeing it, at least with Avril. It’s funny cause I thought she was allergic to dogs. Maybe he kept the dog out of the house until she could get some kind of allergy pills or something. I thought she said in an interview she was allergic to cats but not dogs. She's said in other interviews she wanted a dog but never got one because she travels too much.

Hmm I've listened to it a couple of times and I think it's ok but it's too short. I've listened to plenty of short songs before and liked them, but this one just feels unfinished, like there should at least be one more chorus or something...
I hope Avril's songs are a bit longer than this, even if they are shorter than she usually does.
