__________________________________________________________________________+_______________________________________________________________________________+______________________________________oOo______________________________________
....................What can we expect from your upcoming world tour ?I'm so excited because with three records under my belt, I have a lot of single that people are familiar with.This will be a much bigger production than anything I've ever done.The colour for this album is pink, so I'll be playing a pink piano, and there's a pink drum kit and a bunch of dancers.It's gonna rock.
....................In your last interview with Maxims, you were all about clubbing and doing jäger shots.Is that still a typical night out ?I enjoy partying, sure.But I'm really enjoying wine now.I signed up to be on this wine list where they send you stuff that isn't sold in stores.I'm a wino now.Last night, we drank some OpusOne.
....................So is the hard drinking, pop-punk princess dead ?It's king of weird to put labels on myself.When I first came out, I was a though, tomboyish chik.Now I'm older and really enjoying being a girl.i would say I'm rock glam now.
....................What does the-23-years-old Avril know about the music industry that the 15-old-years didn't know ?I was innocent.I didn't realize that every single photo shoot and every single interview I did would be around forever.Also, when you say something about another famous people, it turns into the biggest deal.I made some comments about Britney Spears, and then everyone said that I was the anti-Britney and that I hated her.Everything gets blown out of proportion.It happens all the time, especially in U.K.They love to completely misquote you.
....................Ok, we'll put you down as saying "Britney is worse than bine Laden".So, what's the weirdest Avril rumors you've ever heard ?I'm a target.A lot of stories have come up that aren"t true that were extremely negative and really made me look bad.
....................Care to clear anything up ?Yes, because this pissed me of.I play an outside show in Vancouver with a foot of snow on the ground.I guess I went on stage an hour late, but I didn't even know it.I was just waiting for someone to go, "Ok, Avril".I played a great show -outside, in the cold-ans the crowd was awesome.The next day, all over the Internet, it said "Avril went on stage an hour late and pissed of her fans".I was like, That fucking sucks.I worked my butt off.I made the entire crowd sing Frosty the fucking Snowman.
....................Now i'ts seems that all the bloggers are saying you're pregnant ...Remember in high school when pepople would start fake rumors about you ? Well, this isn't high school; it's like, the entire world !
L'interview n'est pas complète.
