Early yearsAvril Ramona Lavigne was born to a French-born father, John, and a Franco-Ontarian mother, Judy, in Belleville, Ontario, Canada on sep. 27, 1984 (26 years ago). Her father named her Avril after the month "April" in French. She has an older brother, Matthew, and a younger sister, Michelle. Lavigne's mother was the first to spot young Lavigne's talent. At the age of two, Lavigne began singing church songs along with her mother. The family moved to Napanee, Ontario, when Lavigne was five years old.In 1998 (12 years ago), Lavigne won a competition to sing with fellow Canadian singer Shania Twain (4 walls) on her first major concert tour. She appeared alongside Twain at her concert in Ottawa, appearing on stage to sing "What Made You Say That". She was discovered by her first professional manager, Cliff Fabri, while singing country covers at a Chapters bookstore in Kingston, Ontario. During a performance with the Lennox Community Theatre, Lavigne was spotted by local folk singer Steve Medd, who invited her to contribute vocals on his song, "Touch the Sky", for his 1999 (11 years ago) album, Quinte Spirit. She also sang on "Temple of Life" and "Two Rivers" for his follow up 2000 (10 years ago) album, My Window to You. Film careerLavigne made a cameo in the movie Going the Distance and also appeared in an episode of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, performing "Sk8er Boi" with her band. Lavigne made her movie debut in the 2006 (4 years ago) animated movie Over the Hedge, which is based on the comic strip of same name. She voices the character Heather, a Virginia Opossum. In Aug. 2006 (4 years ago), Canadian Business magazine ranked her the seventh top Canadian actor dominating in Hollywood in their second-annual ranking Celebrity Power List.

Lavigne appears in the movie Fast Food Nation, which is based on her favorite book, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal. The British publication The London Paper reported that she recently landed a lead role in an upcoming film. Lavigne revealed, "I've got a movie role coming up — something you wouldn't expect from me, something deep and dark." Personal lifeIn the Jan. 2003 (7 years ago) issue of Seventeen magazine, she admitted to "snagging a bite of Matt's cheeseburgers every now and again." She said also she prefers not to eat meat, but will not say she's a vegetarian "in case anyone caught her eating meat".Lavigne has a star tattooed on the inside of her left wrist that matches the style of the one used for her first album artwork. It was created at the same time as friend and musical associate Ben Moody's identical tattoo. In late 2004 (6 years ago), she had a small pink heart-shaped tattoo featuring the letter 'D' applied to her right wrist, which represents her now husband Deryck Whibley, a fellow Canadian singer who is the lead singer/guitarist of punk band Sum 41. They began dating in Feb. 2004 (6 years ago) and on Jun. 27, 2005 (5 years ago), Lavigne and Whibley became engaged. Whibley proposed to Lavigne by surprising her with a trip to Venice, a gondola ride, and then a romantic picnic. The couple married in a Catholic ceremony attended by about 110 guests on Jul. 15, 2006 (4 years ago) at a private estate in Montecito, California. When asked if they were ready for kids the couple said "not right now but somewhere down the road." Lavigne said in a 2004 (6 years ago) interview that her favorite party song was Hey Ya, by Outkast. She likes listening to Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Marilyn Manson, System Of A Down (3 walls) and Blink-182, and loves especially the track I Miss You. Asked what she would put on a mix tape to a boy she liked, she answered: "Iris, by Goo Goo Dolls. I'd put a few Coldplay and Oasis songs. Radiohead - The Bends is one of my favorite albums".

Latest news about Avril LavigneFormer 'Canadian Idol' Contestant Arrested In Terrorist PlotMTV News - Khurram Sher, charged in connection with a bombing plot in Canada, tried out for the show in 2008.By Gil Kaufman Khurram Sayed Sher on "Canadian Idol" Photo: CTV A Montreal man authorities have charged with conspiracy in a terrorist plot to bomb sites in Canada and abroad tried out for "Canadian Idol" with a moonwalking, robot popping, off-key version of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" in 2008 that amused judges, but has confused authorities. Khurram Sayed Sher made a bid for the Northern version of "Idol" two years ago and was featured in the televised audition rounds as one of the lesser talents, with the Winnipeg Free Press reporting that he got a thumbs-up for his dance moves from the judges, but no love for his shaky vocals. "That was some genuine crap singing," judge Zack Werner said at the time. "It's sort of absurd. It is a little weird," said Jake Gold, one of the judges on the Canadian show. "He was a funny guy. At the same time, it's not a laughing matter." Sher, a native of Pakistan, appeared on the show wearing a traditional shimmering green salwar kameez outfit, typically worn in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and a Pashtun hat and speaking in a thick accent that disappeared when he sang. He told judges he was from Pakistan and came to Canada in 2005. But those who knew him when he attended medical school at McGill University in Montreal told the Toronto Star that Sher was born in Montreal, had no accent and seemed very "westernized." One unnamed person who reportedly knew him well said he used the fake Pakistani accent and wore the traditional clothes as a goof. "He did it as a joke," the friend said. Sher, 28, a hockey player and father of three, is a pathologist who graduated from one of Canada's most prestigious medical schools, and was a humanitarian aid worker who helped earthquake survivors in Pakistan in 2005. He was arrested on Tuesday after Canadian authorities alleged he was part of a terrorist conspiracy. He was named in court documents as being part of a conspiracy in Ottawa to "knowingly facilitate terrorist activities" in Canada and abroad, including a plot to build and detonate remote-controlled bombs in Canada.

Rihanna Ties Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Mariah Carey For #1 Pop Songs MTV News - 'Love the Way You Lie' with Eminem becomes her sixth #1 on the pop chart.By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna Photo: Troy Rizzo/ Getty Images Rihanna is making hit songs, breaking records and taking names. The singer is currently tied with a few of her pop comrades for the most #1 songs on the Pop Songs radio airplay chart. She ties with Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Mariah Carey for the most #1s in the Nielsen survey. Rihanna now has six #1s on her résumé thanks to her chart-topping collaboration with Eminem, "Love the Way You Lie," according to Billboard.com reports. Rihanna's other #1 songs on the pop chart include 2006's "SOS" (for one week); 2008's "Take a Bow" (for three weeks); 2008's "Disturbia" (three weeks); her late 2008 T.I. collabo "Live Your Life" (two weeks) and this year's "Rude Boy" (two weeks). "Love The Way You Lie" has been on top for one week so far. Earlier this year Beyoncé and Lady Gaga tied Mariah Carey for six #1 pop songs with their collaboration, "Telephone." Carey had six songs hit #1 on the Hot 100 before the Pop Songs chart was created in 1993, and then six others since its creation. Meanwhile, Beyoncé collected hers from 2003 to 2010. Gaga was the fastest to tie the record, with all six released from 2009-2010. Avril Lavigne, Pink, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake all come in a close second with five #1 pop songs in their careers. Rihanna had fans talking last week when the video for "Love the Way You Lie" was released. The singer, who was assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009, appears in the video that depicts a violent love affair between Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox. How do you think Rihanna compares to the other women at the top of the pop chart? Sound off in the comments.
