Avril Lavigne does not deserve her fame

Just when you thought skunk-haired Avril Lavigne could not get more annoying, arrogant or talentless she goes and outdoes herself with yet another interview in which she comes off like a spoiled brat.

She calls people that hate her “losers” which is fine, I mean that’s what everyone does on the Internet when someone doesn’t agree with them so it must be ok.

She also says how generous she is by using the example of donating a bunch of her clothing to Katrina victims. I’m sure there were about 3 preteens displaced by flooding that want to look like punk poser schoolgirls and are as short and little as she is. It’s so gracious of her to think of them. This woman makes millions of dollars and can’t wear clothing twice, that’s a ridiculous example if it’s the best one she could come up with of her charity.

On dealing with her incredible success:
“Selling 24 million albums hasn’t really affected me, but it has changed things. I can’t walk into a room full of people any more without everybody turning their heads, and I can only eat in certain restaurants where I know I won’t get hassled. But that’s OK. I was born to do this, and so I’ve learned how to cope.”

On her competition:
“Someone like Kelly Clarkson is beautiful and has a pretty voice, but with me you get a much stronger image. I’m tough, I have a look that girls want to copy, and I sound a particular way. It’s good if you’re not easily ignored. And I’m not.”

On her generosity:
“I am a very giving person. When the hurricane thing happened, I went to my closet, filled six boxes of stuff and said to my assistant, ‘Take it to Katrina!’ I also like to give stuff to people who are my ‘workers,’ especially if they don’t make much money.”

On her polarizing personality:
“People love me and people hate me, but I’m comfortable in my own skin and that’s what counts. And anyway if you do hate me, you’re the loser, not me.”

WTF is that “I was born to do this, and so I’ve learned how to cope”? I didn’t know it was possible to sound that obnoxious and arrogant on paper, but Avril pulls it off every time.

In the press she’s dissed Britney, told a story about how she socked a guy who teased her, and said her husband knew he was lucky to have her. She’s also spit on paparazzi on three different occasions. She’s a shitty pop singer and a nasty person to boot.

I know that people are multifaceted and it might be unfair to judge the celebrities based on their interviews, but it’s easy to tell Avril is a total ass. Some stars seem like genuinely good hard-working people who are grateful for their success, like Jennifer Garner, Matt Damon, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Kate Winslet. Others need lessons in humility and poverty, like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, Cameron Diaz and of course Avril. I’m sure there are a few more names ya’ll can add to those lists.

When celebrities act like this we can refuse to support them by not buying their records or going to their movies. Avril’s fanbase probably doesn’t read celebrity blogs yet, and I doubt ‘tween girls would organize a boycott or even care that Avril is a stuckup bitch.
