Avril Lavigne was born in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, and she is twenty five years old. Not only is she a Canadian pop star, her music has become popular in the United States and all over the world. Avril is more than just a pop star, and she also has an entrepreneurial spirit among other talents. She broke through in the competitive American entertainment industry. She is one of the top ten selling American artists and continues to top the Billboard music chart with her unique voice and music sound.

Worldwide, she has sold nearly thirty million albums and was named the number ten pop artist in the music industry. Her music is so unique that it is hard to categorize her as just a pop star. She brought a new look and sound to the entertainment industry. She incorporates punk, pop, rock, alternative rock, post-grunge, and powerpop into her albums. She hit the music scene in 2002 and records under the labels RCA and Arista. She is currently only working with RCA label.

Her first album which was released in 2002 is called Let Go, and one third of the record sales from that album were sold in the United States. She sold 16 million copies worldwide. Two years later she released her second albums called Under My Skin, and then in 2007 she released her third album called The Best Damn Thing. She is currently working on a fourth album that is due to be released sometime this summer.

She contributes a lot to her albums. She is an amazing songwriter. She not only sings, but she also plays different musical instruments. Her voice is amazing and so is her playing talent. She plays the electric guitar, drums, piano, and acoustic guitar.

In addition to selling millions of albums worldwide, she has also appeared in movie and television roles. Her most current act on television was appearing as a guest judge on the hit show American Idol. Her fame and talent made her a very qualified guest for the show. She has also appeared on episodes from shows Saturday Night Live, MadTv, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. In 2006, she played a college activist in the movie Fast Food Nation.

Her entrepreneurship shows through in her clothing line and perfume line. She designs clothes for her brand called Abbey Dawn. Her fragrance is called Black Star and is sold throughout Europe and North America. She works with the Canadian Canon brand and designs cameras and is the face of their brand.

Last night we ran into blogger and man-about-town Micah Jesse, and our eyes went immediately to the shiny things on his fingertips. Micah explained that he’d been Minx’ed: the latest nail art craze sweeping the nation.

What is Minx you ask? It’s like a sticker-like appliqué a manicurist places on your nails and then heats. The finish is unique and gorgeous, and Micah told us you take it off with nail polish remover as you would any manicure. As a bonus, Micah even had his applied by Beyonce’s manicurist Lisa Logan. We are so jealous.

Watch a video of Micah getting his Minx on micahjesse.com

If the rumors are to be believed, a feud between Ellen Degeneres and Simon Cowell is heating up on American Idol. According to TMZ, Ellen thinks Simon is unnecessarily cruel to contestants, and Simon likes to antagonize Ellen by being cruel to them. Ah, your typical sibling relationship.

So, are they really feuding? An Idol rep didn’t return our call for comment, but we can understand why Simon and Ellen wouldn’t get along. And you know what? We’re going to have to side with Simon on this one. Like the song goes, you’ve got to be cruel to be kind, Ellen. While she seemed promising during her Hollywood week debut, Ellen’s played it safe since then. Even kind of boring, actually. And we don’t think Simon’s down with that. (Say what you will about Paula, but those are two things she never was.)

Another theory floating around Crushable headquarters is that perhaps Simon isn’t liking the fact that Ellen’s more famous than he is. Idol has always been his show, and suddenly he’s not the star anymore. Diva alert! Maybe that’s why he’s headed off to X-Factor (and taking Paula with him?).

Do you think Simon and Ellen are actually fighting? Whose side are you on?

Bachelor host Chris Harrison feels really sorry for disgraced contestant Rozlyn Papa — he hopes she rises above and becomes a “better person.”

Why? Because she allegedly — OK, most likely — had physical relations with a male producer behind Jake Pavelka’s back, then lied about it. Rozlyn left the show bathed in scandal, the producer got canned and Jake went back to handing out roses to his 20 other prospects.

Rozlyn denied the affair on last night’s Women Tell All special — Chris led the inquisition, the other ladies pounced (“I saw you making out on the stoop!!”) and Rozlyn — digging herself deeper into a hole — uttered this blasphemous statement: “On my child’s life, that never happened.”

Damn, Roz. That was a low blow. We can’t even.

Then she accused Chris of hitting on the axed producer’s wife in New Zealand (ha), and he fired back on his EW.com blog:

It was a desperate attempt by a very desperate woman to create a diversion and deflect the spotlight from herself as she had done several times throughout the interview when she felt backed into a corner by the overwhelming truth. I was extremely disappointed that Rozlyn would stoop to that level and bring my family and me into this already sad and unfortunate situation. Beyond the fact that it’s just flat out not true, that comment was well beyond the line of decency and speaks volumes to the kind of person Rozlyn is. My wife, who I’ve been with since I was 18 and have been married to for over 16 years, was in the audience that night and got as big a laugh out of Rozlyn’s comment as I did.

We get where Chris is coming from — Rozlyn WAS out of line — but his patronizing tone does not sit well with us. Namely because the show needs troublemakers like Rozlyn to build buzz and get people talking, so while she should come clean about seducing the producer, publicly attacking her bad morals — and hoping she becomes a better person through all of this — flies directly in the face of what this successful show is all about: cheesy Vegas production values, tacky and desperado contestants putting their dignity on the line to get the guy (and sometimes bending the truth in the process).

Don’t feel sorry for Rozlyn, Chris. And don’t pretend The Bachelor is the Most Moral Show In Reality-Television History.

Make Rozlyn the next Bachelorette. Let’s start the campaign now.
