I highly doubt Avril even knows who that is. It's possible whoever did the photoshoot (Mark Liddell?) knows about it though and maybe decided to set it up that way.
But generally I think Avril just did it like this to represent the idea of the song being about never growing up and still holding onto things from your childhood but also being grown up at the same time, and probably also to generate some buzz for being naked on the cover.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, Avril maybe has no idea who was Sharon Tate, but Mark Liddell (if he was the photographer on HTNGU session?) maybe knew something related to her and that photoshoot, and then wanted to capture a similar vibe... I find pretty cool to see this kind of "behind" stuff Avril did related to other persons.Like the video of Bethamphetamine, which Avril's role (Christiane F.) and video was inspired in Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo movie... a story about a drug-addict teen girl

I agree with Bogo. Possibly, Mark Liddel (or whoever shot the cover of HTNGU) knew about that photoshoot of Sharon Tate and might have been inspired in a way by it when he was shooting the single cover HTNGU. But I highly doubt Avril knows who that is or even was inspired by the theme of that shoot. She, most probably, just wanted to capture holding onto youth forever while still growing up as well as holding onto things that make her "personally" feel young.

The single cover is the best since 2007

Most certainly. Whether Avril knows who Sharon Tate was is beside the point.

I've never seen those photos either, and I'm an old guy. Ha. Where'd you find them?

I have on my ipod a wallpaper of HTNGU single, and a friend told me "looks similar to a picture of an actress who was murdered named Sharon Tate, is it related?", and then I googled "Sharon Tate teddy bear" hahaha and those pictures were the first ones to shown.

I dunno why everyone's quick to say Avril probably doesn't know who she is - I'm younger than Avril and from the other side of the Atlantic and I know who she is, that's a massively high profile murder case.
Though if it is inspired by that it's more likely to be the photographers idea

Though if it is inspired by that it's more likely to be the photographers idea I dunno why everyone's getting hung up on whether Avril does or doesn't know who Sharon Tate was. Gabo asked us whether we think the HTNGU photoshoot was inspired by the one he posted, and the answer is pretty obvious to me. But yes, I'm sure it was the photographer's idea. Regardless of what she knows and doesn't know, I don't think Avril had/has the kind of creative clout that would let her choose her own photoshoots, beyond saying "No" to something she was totally against doing.

Even if the photos are clearly similar we can't say for sure that this photo shoot was inspired by Tate's. Only whoever did the photo shoot would know for sure. Just because they are eerily similar doesn't prove it was directly inspired by it for a fact. It could just be a coincidence for all we know, I'm sure posing with a teddy bear is pretty common.

If it looks like a duck... It's a bearshark baby, which avril will defeat next single. But maybe I'm wrong, because everytime I'm looking at that picture, my attention mometarily fixes on another part. I think it's influenced. In my opinion they are too close in overall look to be just a coincidence.
