Avril and Chad out together in May.
I feel like whenever Avril Lavigne is dating someone, we know about it. Or maybe those dudes were just the tip of the iceberg. Lavigne broke up with Brody Jenner in January after two years of blissful mutual douchiness. She started dating Brody soon after she split from her then-husband, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, although she was hooking up with Brandon Davis prior to Brody. It was just in June that we heard that she was seeing Marilyn Manson, which was either not true or short-lived. So it’s a bit of a surprise to hear that Avril is engaged to Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of Nickelback. People mag claims they’ve been dating for six months, which makes me wonder how they kept it under the radar. I’m thinking they haven’t been together that long. Here’s the surprise engagement announcement:
Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger’s relationship has been so quiet that few even knew they were dating. Now, after a six-month courtship, the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married, Lavigne’s rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger, 37, first got together in February to co-write a song for Lavigne’s upcoming fifth studio album.
“A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together,” a Lavigne pal tells PEOPLE.
On Aug. 8, Kroeger popped the question, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond sparkler.
“He makes her so happy,” a family source tells PEOPLE. “Both of their families could not be more excited.”
It will be Kroeger’s first trip down the aisle, and the second marriage for Lavigne, who split from Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2009. She had also dated Brody Jenner.
I googled “14 carat engagement ring” and came up with Hilary Duff’s whopping diamond ring, that looks like it would be hard to lift. That thing is a honker. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t turn it down, but I would get a dream house for that money, instead of wearing it on my hand and worrying that it would get stolen. I also spent some dreamy moments looking over diamond engagement rings on Blue Nile’s website, and they have a 15 carat diamond for 1.13 million and a 12 carat diamond for 1.69. (The more expensive one has better clarity.) So it looks like the dude from Nickelback gave Avril Lavigne a ring that was worth at least 1.2 million dollars. I would wonder how he came up with the money, but I guess Nickelback had some hits last year that I barely heard of and they’ve been touring and stuff.
Well Avril and the Nickelback guy seem perfect for each other. They’re both Canadian singers, they both had their best hits in the late 90s/early 2000s, and they probably share the same inflated sense of self worth. I jest, sort of, I think Avril has grown as a person and isn’t as insufferable as she used to be. Plus I know little about Chad Kroeger, except that when I type “Chad Kroeger” into google, the words “douche” and “douchebag” come up as automatic search suggestions. See – perfect for each other!
Hilary Duff with her 14 carat engagement ring in 2010. So when are we going to see Avril’s? I predict a photo op soon.
Avril last night. She didn’t wear her ring!

As a Canadian, I can say the following:
It’s like they took two of Canada’s most obnxious ‘artists’ (Biebs is still #1) and said to themselves “How could they get more annoying?”.
Chad generally looks like a dirty creep, and Avril’s that little ‘punk princess’ who refused to ever grow up.

I agree with Isa I live in South Africa and here Nickelback’s Music is played a lot and its not as bad as people are making to be.

I think she got lucky when she first started out with music because I just can not understand her appeal even though I love skating.

For those who are interested in why people are anti-Chad:
I specifically threw a drink in his lap because he wouldn’t stop getting handsy even after I asked him to stop. I feel a drink in the lap was more than appropriate.
And as to why people dislike him in general; he is a douche, he’s rude to people, his music sucks and as mentioned before, he likes to drink and drive. Girls, did I miss anything?

Lol I know. How totally random? They both make terrible music so I guess they make sense in that regard. They always have terrible videos on vh1 and on the adult contemporary charts and I’m sure they tour a lot so I can see him being able to afford the ring. His voice sounds like he’s constipated and I never understood her appeal! But Congrats for 3-5 years tops. I really thought her and Brody had gotten back together lol so this is weird.
I think 14 carats is wayyyy tooo much. So ostentatious and Hilary’s especially looks fake and gaudy. I’m sure you can get something smaller that looks even more elegant. Bigger isn’t always better ladies

I agree hoya_chick, a diamond that big just looks fake to me. I wouldn’t want one that big, I think a few carats look much prettier and more than impressive. 14 carats is just overkill.
As for their engagement…I’m Canadian and didn’t even know they were dating! They are both obnoxious so it’s a good match. I doubt they will last. Seems like they both have pretty huge egos and that never bodes well for a relationship. I didn’t even recognize him with his hair short.

As a Canadian (that seems like a good way to start this off) I fully agree that Avril is an obnoxious pose-hard who never seems to grow up. As for Chad, I really don’t get why everyone hates him and his band. I’m no fan, seriously, but why all the hate? There’s a plethora of sh*tty music out there, Nickelback can’t actually be the worst, right?
Would someone care to explain this, please (and thank you)?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Because Chad writes the same music over and over (same safe tune, samey lyrics). He follows the same formula which is frowned upon in rock music (in pop music, that would be fine). It’s called money-grab.
Nowadays, they’re just hated because it’s easy (just like hating the Black Eyed Peas). It’s fashionable to do so. I personally have no issues with them. I don’t like them and I don’t hate them. I just don’t understand why, for the same reasons I mentioned, Maroon 5 isn’t getting the same vile. Chad isn’t as douchey as Adam Levine.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yeah I agree that there are tons of sucky bands making $$$ off of corporate rock/frat boy rock and Nickelback def. gets the brunt of the criticism, probably because they’re one of the most well-known bands doing that same repetitive schtick and pretty much defined the corporate rock genre. It might be unfair but it doesn’t make them suck any less.

There’s something really skeevy about his music. I just get a bad feeling when listening to it. There’s the odd song that is semi-tolerable, but ALL their songs sounds the same- and so do a lot of bands. But there’s something just skeevy about them that makes me feel disgusting.
I think some of it is that they put on a front as a big rock group, but like Adrien said, they follow the pop format. They try so hard to sound like serious rock musicians but don’t pull it off.
AND most of their fans are tools.

Exactly Erinn. All of their songs sound exactly the same and I find his voice so grating. I don’t know about him being a douche like others have said because he is not someone I hear about or care to follow. There is just something about their band/music that I do not like and I would definitely put Maroon 5 in that category too.

There are reasons to hate any band but I don’t think that adhering to typical rock structure is one of them. A: it’s ubiquitous and even the most ‘authentic’ rockers visit with formatting frequently B: it persists because it works, I don’t want to hear ‘Nuthin’ but the four nine-minute drum solo hits per jazz fusion phantom tracks for eighty minutes’ all that much.

) and I was so angry that a phony like her would make it.
I´m her age and when she first came out I really dispised her. She did not play her instruments (well she could strum a G-chord, big deal)and never wrote a single song by herself, yet always claimed so.
It bugged me as I was in a school band and we were playing our fingers bloody and really working on some good songs
(no hits of course
Skipping forward, these days I know that all “artists” do that to get more credibility. I´m not down with it to the day, but I kind of shrug my shoulders and I´m like “this is how the industry works”

When I heard this I was thinking Seriously? WTF? It must be a publicity stunt. But then, after reading all the crap about this couple, I realize its true.
What surprises me is I totally thought that Chad Kroeger would marry a Playboy playmate because he comes across as such a douche. Actually, he is. I was at a concert in Vancouver last year and he was there with two plastic, barbies, hanging out stage-side drinking and had these girls fawning all over him. I must say he gave off the scent of eau de douche. I had never really thought that of him until then.
I have a friend who claims that he bragged at some point about having sex with 15 year old girls and how when he got arrested for drunk driving in Vancouver a few years ago, he acted like it was cool. Because she and I could argue for hours over it, I never bothered challenging her opinion. However, I never found anything, anywhere ever that he bragged about having sex with teenagers or when he thought drunk driving was cool. But she got it from somewhere so…
Avril is adorable. She’s obnoxious and I’ve seen her in concert and she’s pretty fun. I still don’t think that she should be rushing into this marriage given the fact that it is entirely likely she will have 2 divorces under her belt before she hits 30.
I just really find it a very odd match. She seems like she would be his little sister.
Oh well…like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of the celeb lives…

Oh wow, don’t make us sound that low… we’d never compare these two foolish people to Brangelina. At least the Brange has some talent, and does a lot of charity/human rights work.

I’m being sarcastic. These two punks don’t deserve to shine the Brange’s shoes.

I was really hoping it was sarcastic, but I’m at work and multi-tasking haha. I just know there are a lot of people that crazy so seriousness was possible.

Definitely. Someone on Youtube said that Nickelback was the best rock band to emerge in the last 40 years…and I’m positive they were being serious.

No joke, on facebook, there is a link that shows you how to weed out your friends list. You click on it, and it shows you all your friends who have “liked” Nickelback, and the option to delete them right then and there. Genius.

LOL perfect. I’m embarrassed for anyone that openly likes that band or Avril Lavigne.

I googled Nickelback and on the Wikipedia page it states that
” Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, ranking as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and is the 2nd best selling foreign act in the U.S. behind The Beatles for the 2000s.Billboard ranks them the top Rock group of the decade and their hit song “How You Remind Me” was listed as the top Rock song of the decade as well as the 4th song of the decade. They were listed number 7 on the Billboard top artist of the decade list and they have 4 albums that were listed on the Billboard top albums of the decade.”
Perhaps their music isn’t to some people’s taste but they can’t have achieved success by sucking.

If a tree falls in the forest, and there’s no one there to hear it, have we found the perfect location for a Nickleback concert?

Once upon a time Nickelback decided to play some rock in a festival in Portugal…

Once upon a time portuguese people decided to play some rock on Nickleback.
I obviously think this was a terrible attitude from the portuguese crowd, but I admit I laughed a bit.just a little bit

What the crowd did was wrong, but for the record I would be pissed if I paid to go to a metal festival and Nickleback was playing.

Exactly! What were the festival organizers thinking?
The portuguese crowd is usually super intense and a lot of bands actually enjoy coming here, what happened was shocking and sad…

I can’t help it, when the rock hit the side of his head and his horrible hair flew up I laughed…hard. I think part of the reason I hate Nickelback so much is that everyone over 40/people who like country think they hung the moon or something. It’s detestable and my mom just can’t seem to “get” why my boyfriend and I think they’re terrible. I just don’t understand it….they came of age when there was good music for gods sakes!

I totally understand,they simply suck! I listen to rock music like 4 hours a day,sometimes more. I have some music knowledge and skills,that does not make me an expert or justify my opinion but…come on,thats not rock! thats mainstream pop with electric guitars =/ it was a bad situation,but they should’ve known better themselves…if you don’t wanna be eaten by the crocodiles don’t swim in the river.

Oh, dang!
It reminds me of when Justin Timberlake was performing at that benefit concert in Toronto. Geez, I can’t believe the storm in a teacup that was SARS was almost ten years ago, but seeing those rocks flying reminded me of that show that The Rolling Stones put together to tell the world that Toronto was still cleaner than anything you would pull out of your ear on any given day.
I remember seeing JT singing and dancing and then thinking that his new steps were awfully jerky and strange. When the camera zoomed in, it turned out that he wasn’t dancing, but that audience members were throwing bottles of water at him–at a free benefit concert. Man, everyone I know was so embarrassed by that because it was so woefully ungrateful and classless. Yeah, a little song and dance that’ll be forgotten by nightfall was never going to set the world afire and shut down the WHO fixation that was plaguing the city that year, but that’s how you say, ‘thanks for supporting the bad PR-blighted city’?
Fools. If you don’t like the song, wait for the next one or actually pay some money to see someone you prefer. I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice.

Seems like they deserve each other what a tw#$ THAT girl is, not hot, not talented, not witty… if she had black hair and a huge fat as#, she could be a Kartrashian. The guy makes some of the worst music I have ever heard and so DID she so…there you go.

way to be mature..get engaged after dating only 6 months….let’s hope it’s a LONG engagement. Of course they’re happy, they’re still in that ‘new sex’ hormonal, honeymoon phase…
and FYI, he has a house close by to where I live here in B. C., several people who have worked on various jobs at his house have commeneted how very arroagant and rude he is. You can tell alot about a person by how they treat service people or employees. and on another ‘bitchy’ note, is it just me, or has she always had ‘fangs’. she looks like she could be a vampire.

NOOOO! I LOVE Nickelback and I don’t care what people say about their music, it’s fun rock and I don’t need everything to be deep and meaningful, sometimes I just want to hear something that rocks. But I LOATHE Avril Lavigne. In fact, I think I hate her as much as I hate Jenny McCarthy. Nasty, petulant piece of crap. I remember she spat on someone once, and anyone who SPITS on other people is despicable. I hate her ugly weasel face and her manufactured “I’m so KEWL and punk rawk!” attitude. I’m sure Chad Kroeger is a jerk but he deserves better than horrid Avril. God I despise her!

I love that you came on here where everyone is bashing Nickelback in everywhere and protested your love for them! Very brave!
While I’m not a Chad fan, I do not mind a lot of Nickelback’s songs. Some are awful but some are really catchy and fun to sing along to.
Cheers

Hilary’s ring is soooo ugly! It looks like freakin play jewelry. I really can’t stand huge engagement rings. What a total waste of money. I’ve seen from experience that the bigger the ring the worse off the couple is.

Oh, on the contrary, all you posters. I think Advil Latrine and Chad Crowface make a perfect couple:
1) They’re both fucking UGLY
2) They both SUCK as musicians
3) They’re both incredibly obnoxious
I think if they do record something together, the CIA could use THAT to interrogate terrorist suspects. Imagine, having to listen to their whiny, annoying garbage 24 hours a day!

Perfect. Chad Nickleback is such a known loser that he probably hasn’t had anyone to spend his money on yet. Why not. They look just adorable. What a paralell step, from a kardashian to knickela$$. You go girl.

She is beautiful and talented.
I have no idea why people here cannot appreciate that she wrote her own songs and made herself aself made singer vs. the plastic replaceable girls that the industry gives them songs.
She paved her way to where she is now.
I don’t think he is as attractive as she is, but if she loves him than that all that matters.

Isn’t it funny how no one knew or cared who either of them was dating, so they had a big announcement and dragged out the huge ring? Nickelback is okay, but I can’t stand Avril and her fake punk image. She’s dated BRODY JENNER for heaven’s sake. She was with her first husband, started hooking up with that greaseball Davis, immediately began dating Jenner after and when they broke up in January, she started dating this guy and got engaged? She’s such a tool; she’s the JLo of fake hipsters. I love how there are suddenly pap photos of them; it’s the best staged thing either of them has ever done.
