Avril Lavigne's 'Britney-Spears-Dissing' Does (Will Do) Little To Improve Her Record Sales
Avril Lavigne isn't fooling anyone with her half-hearted attempt to take potshots a Britney Spears. Avril, barely a footnote in the pop music annals, has recently been using Britney Spears' rehab troubles to make a name for herself and her flagging record sales (her new single "Girlfriend" can't even be found on the Billboard charts). In an interview for Sun (UK) Magazine, Avril had these nasty things to say about fellow pop-singer and hugely popular celebrity Britney Spears:
"What's happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. If you want a piece of this business, you have to be able to deal with it. You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness, because that's the job."That's a rich piece of tapestry coming from a young lass who was recently dealt a PR blow by spitting in the face of photographers and signing "F*ck You" to autograph-seeking fans. Avril was later forced to give a half-assed apology - ostensibly to her fans - for the spitting, as it became evident that no one was buying her "tough chick" angst anymore. Even more ironic, she had the nerve to imply that Britney couldn't handle her liquor, unlike Avril who states that while she also drinks "no one really gets to know" [about it] - 'cuz you know, Avril's so damn discreet. Cripes almighty, that filthy Canuck needs to stuff a tie in her piehole already. If you need any further proof of how outrageously annoying and bratty Avril is, feast on this gem. Update: Avril's stupid new single "Girlfriend" is stinking up the Billboard Hot "100" at number 5 - proof that being a dimwitted twit can pay off. I predict that after insulting Britney and being a stuck-up tw*t, that won't last long. Popular music really is lame isn't it. Billboard needs to update its seach engines. I also suspect some payola scheme behind this b.s. Update 2 : That'll show me. I just check Amazon, and her crappy album will be released on April 17, so in actuality that's why I couldn't find it. But based on Amazon's trends, she's at 80 right now, so that's not such a great reception for her new album. But what that means is that all this trash talking is just to gain exposure for herself before her album drops...in the toilet. I am sure a bunch of teeny-bopper tweens will buy her new and improved bubble-gum bile, but anyone with any real taste (like anyone over 18) won't fall for it. How pathetic for Avril to use Britney to help her sell records. I guess she knows her album sucks. Okay, I am done with the mea culpa. But I stand by my original claim, the only thing I am guilty of is not digging deeper - I will be vindicated!Â
