Here are more photos from the Huading Awards in China over the weekend. I’ve split the photos into two groups – I covered Nicole Kidman and Jackie Chan in another post, and this post is for Avril Lavigne, Chad Kroeger, Nic Cage and Quentin Tarantino. That’s a motley crew, isn’t it?

Let’s start with Avril and Chad. Avril wore a gown by Brian Rennie for Balser. Am I crazy for not hating the dress? It’s not a great dress, but it’s not bad either, and it kind of suits her without making her look like a kid dressed up in her mom’s clothes. I kind of love that Avril and Chad came to the awards show together, like they ARE Canada’s royal couple. Ha. Avril actually picked up an award at the show too, which was nice. I wanted to discuss these pics because I saw an interesting interview with Avril a few days ago and I wanted to discuss it:

Avril Lavigne is in a good place. She’s a giddy newlywed, she’s got a new, self-titled album due Nov. 5, and she’s ready for a baby – eventually.

“I do [feel pressure to start a family] now that I’m married,” Lavigne says in an interview on The Lowdown with Diana Madison. But, she adds, “I want to be ready. I’m focusing on my music. I’m just releasing a new record. This is my priority and my baby right now.”

The “Rock N Roll” singer, 29, is also focused on her husband Chad Kroeger, of Nickelback.

“We actually have spent the majority of our relationship, like all of our time together,” she says. “They went on the road for a little bit, and I was out with Nickelback on their tour, and then he travels with me, and now that we worked together on my record, we’re together then.”

The singer enjoys collaborating with Kroeger and says the studio is a special place for them.

“He proposed in the studio so it was really romantic, and when we work together, we’re creating and we’re in the moment of making something happen, so it’s fun,” she says.

“The hours are long, but it actually just makes that process even better because he’s there with me, so I like working with him,” she says. “Plus I think he’s a really talented song writer and I respect him and his work tremendously.”

For some reason, I thought Chad had a kid or two from previous relationships, but I just looked it up and I guess he doesn’t…? So both Avril and Chad came into this marriage with NO kids? Huh. I honestly thought she would get knocked up in a hurry – it just seemed like that kind of relationship – so I’m surprised that she seems so ambivalent about babies. This should get very interesting, y’all.

I’m also including pics of Nic Cage and Quentin Tarantino. Bless QT’s heart, I love him and I worry about him. He’s really putting on weight, isn’t he? And Nic is convincing no one with that wiglet.
