Avril Lavigne must truly be one of the most disliked celebrities on the internet. She has famously gone to war against several bloggers and spit on members of the paparazzi. Not the best way to make friends in the media. As a result, Avril has received a lot of bad press and is generally known more for her surly attitude than her singing. Though she has toned it down a bit since she got married to Deryck Whibley a few years ago, she still seems to be pretty widely disliked. News of a possible Lavigne/Whibley child hasn’t brought the singer any kinder handling in the press. Though she and her publicist have denied a pregnancy, there’s plenty of evidence that Avril is in fact toasting a bun in the oven.

The 23-year-old pop star and husband Deryck Whibley, 27, have been dogged by rumors recently that they’re expecting their first baby. And they didn’t do much to squash the pregnancy talk during a shopping trip yesterday along trendy Robertson Boulevard. Lavigne and Whibley, who have been married since July 2006, were spotted dropping into Petit Trésor and then Lisa Kline Kids, where they spent about $500 on baby gear.

I’m told they picked up a cheetah-print diaper bag at Lisa Kline, along with a Sassy pacifier holder, a charcoal gray baby tee emblazoned with the logo of rock band AC/DC and a white Splendid romper. “They shopped holding hands and picked stuff out together,” an onlooker reports. At Petit Trésor, according to a source, they picked up a Petunia Pickle Bottom men’s diaper bag and two organic Robbie Adrian baby blankets.

A Petunia Pickle Bottom men’s diaper bag? Men need their own diaper bags? I know baby stuff can look kind of effeminate, but isn’t that just part of the package? I would really love to see what a “manly” diaper bag would look like. I’m guessing it has lumberjacks and big chunks of meat on it or something. But I digress. That seems like a bit more stuff than you’d normally buy for a pregnant friend. And nothing says “Avril Lavigne’s Baby” like an AC/DC baby tee. Always classy. Actually I think the whole rocker/rebel baby thing is kind of cute, when done in small amounts. Now Online also reports that Avril was spotted shopping at Kitson For Kids too. That’s a whole lot of small clothing. Avril is pretty tiny, but I doubt she’s fitting into a Splendid romper anytime soon. I would say the traditional “Congrats to the happy couple,” but with someone like Avril Lavigne, she’s probably apt to punch me in the eye for it.

Avril Lavigne’s rep denies that the pint-sized pop singer is pregnant. A Canadian entertainment blog reported an “exclusive” today that Lavigne’s husband, Deryck Whibley, was telling friends that his sneering bride was in the family way. Avril’s rep says it’s just not true. There’s another rumor that Avril could be having trouble in her marriage. Last week’s National Enquirer reported that Deryck was “acting like a single man” and was seen looking flirty with everyone’s favorite homewrecker Paris Hilton as well as collecting a phone number from another woman at a club on December 17th. It could have all been innocent fun.

Meanwhile Avril has given an undisclosed settlement to the band The Roobinos for their claimed copyright infringement of their 1979 single “Boyfriend.” A settlement doesn’t mean that she’s admitting to infringing the band’s copyright. Her manager says he merely wanted to avoid a costly court battle, and Avril denies ever hearing the song. This is not the first time that Lavigne has been accused of plagiarism.

Here’s a comparison of the two songs, and you can see why Avril would want to make this one go away quietly:

We got a lot of well-deserved flack for repeating Star Magazine’s incorrect story that Avril only played a couple of songs at a free concert in Burnaby, British Columbia before ditching to go see the Spice Girls. She did play a full set at that show and it’s well documented.

As to why we report with a negative slant on Avril, after reading several self-important interviews with her and seeing how she repeatedly flips off the camera as well as spits on paparazzi, we decided that we don’t like her. She doesn’t seem to like or appreciate her job, and is known for giving listless performances.

Avril Lavigne was videotaped and photographed spitting at paparrazi while leaving club Hyde last Wednesday after celebrating her birthday with her husband and some friends. That was the second night in a row she spit on photographers outside of Hyde. On Thursday the Lavigne-Whibley family celebrated their third night of paparrazi spitting with Deryck contributing some saliva of his own.

TMZ has the shaky videos. On Avril birthday she’s seen leaving the club, signing autographs and saying “fuck you” several times to the photographers wishing her happy birthday. She spits when her car is about to pull away, and sticks her foot out of the window. It’s hard to tell what’s going on, and the pictures tell a better story.

The previous night, TMZ reports that Avril called the photographer over by saying “hey fuckhead,” before she spit right in his lens.

Maybe Avril’s apology would seem sincere if it happened once, but two nights in a row followed by her husband spitting too? As she mentions, she’s apologizing for the fans:

She’s outside a nightclub that stars frequent, what does she expect? I used to have a better opinion of Avril, and if she had only done it once on her birthday I might not have cared, but three spits and you’re trash.

I put Avril Lavigne on bump watch a few months ago when she looked a little fuller in the midsection and friends blabbed that she wanted to start a family right away. Her baby bump never grew, making it unlikely that she was pregnant. When I saw these pictures of Avril kissing her new husband, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, I thought her top looked a little suspicious.

Star Magazine said she might be pregnant, and recent candids show some kind of bulge, but she was seen out at fashion week sipping champagne and wearing a form-fitting tank top. If she’s pregnant she’s hiding it very well. She might be trying, but I don’t think she’s pregnant at this point.

It’s all speculation, and Avril looks quit fit in these pictures from Fashion Week. Let’s hope she gets pregnant soon if she’s trying, though.

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley are on their honeymoon in Portofino, Italy. Avril and Deryck were married in a fairytale wedding on a private estate in Montecito, CA on July 15th, 2006.

Avril has been rumored to be pregnant, with bloggers like us gleefully pointing out her tiny stomach bump. She’s seen drinking wine in these candids, though, making it unlikely that she’s with child.

Avril and Deryck enjoyed jet-skiing, sightseeing and some private cuddle time on a yacht. Their honeymoon hasn’t all been casual fun. They were seen dressed up to attend a party.

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley were married last weekend in California, and Canada.com has the official photos. They’re low quality, but clear and lovely, and show the happy couple exchanging rings, kissing, eating the cake, and taking off Avril’s garter during the reception. Picture captions include details such as the chandelier that hung from the flower-draped awning under which they were married, and their four-tiered half-chocolate half-vanilla wedding cake.

Avril says that the ceremony was an emotional moment for her, and that she did her best to keep poised:

Guests took home guitar picks with the bride and groom’s name, and custom gift boxes. I wonder how long it will take before they hit eBay.

Avril Lavigne wed her fiance of over two years, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, in a fairytale setting on a private estate in Montecito, CA on Saturday. She wore a Vera Wang gown with a flowing train and long veil and carried a bouquet of white roses. Her father walked her down the aisle:

Its such a beautiful setting for a wedding and it looks like a lovely event. It’s nice to see the pictures, but unfortunately that means that helicopters were hovering over the ceremony. Hopefully it didn’t detract from the moment for the happy couple or their guests.

Avril Lavigne must have had a tame bachelorette party because her fiance, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, attended too. They celebrated on June 30th in LA:

Speculation is rampant that Lavigne and Whibley will marry this weekend, with reports that they have already notified friends and family:

This could definitely be true, because Lavigne was said to want a summer wedding, and to be planning for children right away.

It is uncertain whether Lavigne is already pregnant. We spotted a bump on the slender singer in several recent pictures, but in these photos from the end of June it doesn’t seem to have grown enough to substantiate pregnancy rumors.

Here is Avril at her bachelorette party outside of Koi and at Hyde nightclub on 6/25. Pictures from Hollywood’s Best and originally from Alavigne.com.br.
