I think most of us were amused when Avril Lavigne’s ex, Deryck Whibley, and his girlfriend, Ari Cooper, dressed up as Avril and Chad Kroeger for Halloween. My take on it at the time was that Deryck had tried to go covert, but someone had done the inevitable and posted a photo on Twitter, which is something that Deryck should have expected. It turns out that I was wrong — at least, according to a story in this week’s Star — and Deryck really wanted Avril to set her eyes on his hilariously ridiculous costume because he thought it was a great way to break up Avril and Chad, thereby stopping their impending nuptuals. However, the plan has reportedly backfired (of course), and Avril is furious with Deryck. How exactly did he not see this coming?
Friends and fans were shocked when Avril Lavigne announced her engagement to Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger — and her ex-husband, Deryck Whibley, is determined to break them up! “Deryck is still good friends with Avril and is very concerned,” explains a pal. “He’s only heard negative things about Chad, like he’s a ladies’ man and has a tember. Deryck is convinced he’ll cheat on her or treat her like crap.”
But Avril, 28, made it clear to the Sum 41 frontman, whom she split from in 2009 after three years of marriage, that nothing he can say — or wear — will stop her. In an attempt to make a public statement against Avril’s engagement, Deryck, 32, dressed up as his punky former wife for Halloween, with his girlfriend, Ari Cooper, masquerading as Chad. But the plan backfired. “Hey Deryck loved the costumes! we were going to dres sup as you guys this year but all the parties had celebrity themes haha! — CK” tweeted Chad, 38, after seeing the pictures. Sources reveal that Avril wasn’t amused. “The stunt only made Avril resent Deryck, which was the last thing he wanted. He’s just hoping that she really thinks things through before rushing down the aisle.” Why’d he have to go and make things so complicated?

Meanwhile, Chad has admitted during an interview with Men’s Health (wtf?) that Avril really isn’t that familiar with Nickelback’s music (can you blame her?). In fact, Chad says that she probably wouldn’t recognize one of his “naughty” songs if it came on the radio, but he insists that “She’d be like, ‘Who’s this? This is good. I like it.” Whatever, dude. This revelation only confirms to me that Avril isn’t so much into Chad as she is in the tacky-ass, 14-carat diamond ring that he gave her. Sounds like this marriage will be a real winner.
This photo of Deryck and his girlfriend, Ari Cooper, was taken at the launch of Avril’s horrific Abbey Dawn clothing line on March 13. So I guess maybe they really still are friends, but it doesn’t sound like that will be the case for long.

Is this Deryck guy a midget? Seriously??!!
I could never date a guy as short as Deryck. Height combined with looks makes him appear super troll-y.
Kinda want to stick him on top of a pencil, don’t you?
*snicker*
HAHAHAHA…AWESOME! All he needs is the green hair.
Yeah he looks like a munchkin.. and not a cute one at that. He’s facially challenged. He’s lucky that she even married him i n the first place. And he and his new gf look like an Amazon and a lilliputian.
IMHO, Avril must’ve been born with beer goggles. Both of these guys look like they lost shovel fights. How on earth does she work herself up to it? Just seeing either of these two naked would reduce the humidity factor in her lady bits area to corn chip levels. I would rather eat a bucket of vomit. That girl’s got a thing for the fugly!
She looks like a giantess next to him! It’s like he’s her younger brother in that photo! Lol.
I agree he looks trollish. Height-wise, he and Avril were a good fit. Didn’t know the Exes were still friends (until this stunt!). I find it strange that his current gf would go along for his “plan” to make sure his ex wife doesn’t get remarried! SMH..
Avril and Chad have been dating a really short time, and if Deryck and Ali are good enough friends to go to her line launch, maybe Ari felt like she was in the place to comment on the impending nuptials.
My concern is; what a lame plan. whose idea was that?
I think Avril and Deryck looked like a perfect match for one another. Physically they look really good together. They both look ridiculous with their new partners.
Not that how you look physically with your partner is the most important thing or anything.
I cannot get over how punchable Chad Kroeger’s face is. It is literally impossible for me to look at him without thinking I’d like to see someone hit him.
I know very little about the man, but some people just wear it on the outside.
My thoughts exactly!!! I can’t stand him, he’s such a douchebag. Tho I can’t stand Avril either, so maybe they are the perfect couple?
I despise Nickleback’s misogynistic lyrics, and would be surprised if anyone other than a frat boy would enjoy listening to them. Hopefully Chad Kroeger doesn’t embrace that attitude in his real life, or I don’t think he’d find any woman who’d be willing to put up with him for long. At least, I’d like to think not.
From that Men Health´s interview mentioned above:
MH: Do you have a favorite wild story from your past, something you did or witnessed during a Nickelback tour that still makes you think, “I can’t believe that happened?”
CK: Yeah, sure. None that I’m willing to tell you about.
MH: Oh come on. Just one?
CK: We’ve always been very close to our crew, so we’ve had a lot of fun getting them to do silly, stupid things that could possibly cause them to hurt or injure themselves in some way. We were in Germany years ago—this was one of my favorite stories—and we were just bored. There was a heat wave going on in Germany. In a back room in the venue where we were playing, there was an old fan with a metal blade. I don’t remember the last time I saw a fan with a metal blade. And we paid the drum tech…. Oh god, I forget the exact amount. I think we got the pot up to about 600 deutschmarks. At this time Germany hadn’t converted to the Euro yet.
MH: 600 deutschmarks to do what?
CK: Stick his johnson in the fan.
MH: Please tell me he said no.
CK: He took the money.
MH: Oh sweet Moses.
CK: I can still hear the “bleh-bleh-blehhhhhhh” of the blade slowly sputtering to a stop, and this blood-curdling scream. It was fantastic. Somebody has video footage of this somewhere that needs to be resurrected and shown at the guy’s next birthday party.
He def is a misogynistic douchebag.
I don´t get how dressing up as them will prevent Avril from marrying this asshole, maybe he should just talk to her?
You keep using that word ‘misogynistic’, I don’t think you know what it means.
I think maybe you’re thinking of “masochistic.”
Misogynistic is definitely a good word to describe Chad Turdon (his real name!)…
“Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
They say it’s over budget, but you’d pay her just to touch it, come on!
Needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood had called her she’d be gone before you holler, come on!
Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn’t care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain’t it funny how the honey wanted you all along!
(You naughty thing)
You’re ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You’re such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You’re so much cooler when you never pull it out
‘Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth
Crafty little lip tricks, tattoos on her left hip
She’s bending as you’re spending, there’s no end to it, so baby come on!
Dressed up like a princess, betting that her skin smells
Better than the scent of every flower in the desert, come on!”
I could go on, but I’ll leave it at that.
OMG, he’s just so gross.
I wouldn’t f*ck him for practice.
I confuse Avril and Deryk with LeAnn Rimes and her first hubby. I’m pretty sure I remember these two breaking up but being good friends. NOT LR and her hubby, obviously.
Form dictionary.com “Reflecting or exhibiting hatred, dislike, mistrust, or mistreatment of women.” Which I feel Nicleback’s lyrics do. The dick in the fan episode just makes the guy an asshole.
Wasn’t Chad voted the “ugliest man in rock” at one time?
I don’t see how Deryck and his girlfriend dressing up as Avril and Chad was a statement to stop the wedding…They seem to be friends so maybe they just thought it was funny?
I don’t know…they all seem weird to me.
She is such a bore… they are all so bad at what they try to do. Also look so budget and homely. Too bad they are trying to stay relevant, none of them have any talent at all.
