And Finally

Lavigne and Whibley may have split up

By | Published on Thursday 17 September 2009

US gossip mag Us Weekly is reporting that Avril Lavinge and Sum 41 dude Deryck Whibley have split up after three years of marriage, though similar rumours circulated after a National Enquirer report last October and turned out to be untrue, so we should probably be wary of such gossip.

And the latest reports do seem to be based on pretty dodgy evidence (Whibley didn’t attend the launch of Lavinge’s new fashion range, shock horror), though the gossip mag does quote a source as saying: “She dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on. Divorce papers will be filed any day now”.

And if the mag is to be believed the marriage break down is far from amicable. They claim Deryck has been thrown out of the marital home, and that Avril is now erasing her husband’s input on her next album. Source: “She is going to do new songs that don’t have his mark on them. She wants no trace of him”.

No response yet from the Whibley/Lavinge camp, or camps.

News agency WENN have picked up on this story and my favourite line in their report goes: “The Canadian pair attempted to silence critics [ie those who said the marriage was on the rocks] in August when they were spotted out together for the first time in four months during a trip to a grocery store in Los Angeles”. Like that was definitely them “silencing critics”, and not just buying some bread and milk.
