Can Avril Cry Tears Of Milk?

This question and more in an interview with Alex Zane of Brit TV show Popworld. Granted, that programme's M.O. is to take the piss, so Avril's handlers had to have given the muthafuckin' princess fair warning. But still ... so awkward! Good for her? Really, Avril, just play along. Or spit on him.

it's pretty sad when our senators are savvy enough to have fun on colbert, but a washed up pop star has to be completely serious about an album she recorded while drunk.

what do you mean "Good for her?" --She is clearly a fucking moron. It's too bad she dropped out of school in the 9th grade to become a country singer, because she clearly needs an education. This is a grown woman who acts a speaks like a 8 year old and it's really fucking annoying!

I think Avril Lavigne could possibly be my least favorite person on earth. This includes evil dictators and Conservative Republicans. She tops the list.

"He was a boy
She was a girl
Can i make it any more obvious"

No, Avril. I think you've been very clear thus far.

throw us a bone child. we (well some people anwyay)give you money so you can get your hair dyed and straightened to oblivion. a sentence longer than "not really" would be a nice show of gratitude.

You'd think for someone who's so punk rock, likes to flip people off, and, like, not be one of those blond singers that dance around in a short skirt, she'd have more of a sense of humor. oh wait...

Although there are mitigating circumstances here, namely that Alex Zane is a twat.

Look, I'm just a sk8r boi as much as the next guy, but you have to imagine there was some creative editing to create that interview. Even Stalin looked you in the eye when you interviewed him, and didn't stare off into space as a reaction to a question about Venice.

Recently in the press Avril was quaoted as saying "If you want a piece of this business you have to be able to deal with it." I say she is doing a really bad job at dealing with it.

I love how she would like us to believe that the longtime artisitic vision she had for this cd, "The Best Damn Thing", was so strong that a life changing event like marriage couldn't change it. Way to stick to the formula Avril! She is such an android. "Why Alex would you ask me about rotten eggs, you know robots can't smell."

to be honest, I wouldn't be so harsh about her performance in the interview, those questions were crap. I'm pretty sure my reaction would be fairly much the same.

As was mentioned above, Alex Zane is pretty much a cunt, and I think most of us would react similarly if a cunt with that much greasy hair started asking us questions.

Well, she didn't decline going to the interview so I really don't see how there's any problem with Mr. Zane

oh man for someone so 'bad' she has no street smarts or ability to think on her feet, looking around like someone has to save her from his questioning cause it's not a canned, generic interview like usual. ...total dumbass

I guess the problem with Mr. Zane is that his line of questions were pathetic. If that was suppossed to be funny, he's an idiot - it wasn't funny at all and had little chance of being funny, even if he was interviewing Bill Murray. If he wants to embarrass somebody, he needs to do some more research and be prepared - 'cause he was lobbing softballs. If he wants somebody to play along with his apparently "wacky questions", he needs to give them something a little more than "what would your perfume smell like?"

Oh, come on everyone. He was testing her. And she failed. An intelligent, dynamic person would have returned the absurdist riffing with some of their own, but Avril is too fucking dumb, or average, to do it. She's one of those sorry sorry people who thinks some people are "wierd".

And honestly, it wasn't even the most virtuostic or heady variety of satire, it was just fun nonsense, and she couldn't even cop to that.

anyone with half a brain would have at least played around and turned a sad excuse for a comedic interview into something much better.

like: i always thought venice smelled like sweaty balls, so whenever i smell sweaty balls it takes me back to that beautiful gondola ride in venice.

Not an Avril fan by any stretch of the imagination, but she handled this like a pro. Bad editing job, terrible questions, and an all-around disaster of an interview.

get a personality, bitch. plenty of artists (with much bigger followings than her, might I add) go onto Popworld and go along with Alex Zane's 'interviewing' and seem to enjoy the stupid questions and false-seriousness. can't believe this girl is more than 14. she was looking round desperately like she wanted daddy to come and save her. anyone else notice how she isn't even hot? jeez, this gal has nuthin' goin for her.

I think its Ironic that she writes songs about trying to take someones boyfriend, she truly sounds like a 14 year old. If that was me in that situation with her, I would curb stomp Avril and grind her face into the cement where it belongs.
