The mess that was the American Music Awards

We had the 'bow-top' ---which did not a top make.



Vomit-lame





Some kind of symbolic/literal virgin-suicide dress. Being chocked to death by flowers?!? Who designs these things?

Ugh...I've got another Gwhineth on my hands.

Just as Gwyneth Paltrow has ebbed in terms of interview air-time...another one has cropped up in her place. I said they were morphing into each other a few months ago...but geez...this is too much. It's Avril Lavigne in Q magazine.

On dealing with her 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... 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."

Singing "Hey hey you you I could be your girlfriend" in the girls change rooms---ooooh Avril, that's tough! Not to mention painting skulls and cross bones on your nails...I've shivering in my boots right now.

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."

Wow...I think a sainthood is in order...we need more people like Avril when those damn hurricane....things...happen.

and to top it off:

"... if you do hate me, you're the loser, not me."

hmm...very insightful stuff.

Avril gets the 'young people'

Avril at the Teen Choice Awards. She knows that a full head of colour is passe. Even a half head is over. She's going for the spray on side-stripe...the kind that washes out immediately, perfect for when you have to get back to the office the next day, or need to attend a P&C meeting. Girlfriend is so with it. Oh so cool. She is punk rock personified.

Just as I thought I'd finally gotten rid of Gwhine-th Paltrow

Avril steps right in to take her place. *sigh*. Avril is totally going to become a Ralph Lauren/Estee Lauder queen when she gets older.
