      I worked for Future Shop in Canada, which is owned by best buy and practically the same thing. When my store opened, we had a Toronto Maple Leafs NHL player there signing autographs for two hours. This guy got PAID, unfortunatly, like $10 000 and, probably, so will Avril. It just shows how desperate she is!!!!!!!!!!!! She sucks!!!!!!!!

      Perez you fucking hypocrite. We all know you hate Avril, so stop pretending you feel sad for her. Or are you just being sarcastic? Either way, just shut the hell up.

      Avril is bombing almost as bad as Perez. Maybe Perez will give his blog away for free too. Oh wait, the shit at this site already is free. And just like Avril, Perez steals all of his material. You get what you pay for.

      This is nothing new to her, Perez. She toured many Canadian cities and played unplugged for free to practice her new stuff long after becoming very famous just to do it for the music. I think you'll be holding your breath for any apology from her for whatever perceived 'slight'…

      This is NOT sad! First of all, I am NOT an Avril-fan by any means, but just because she's having a free concert at a Canadian Best Buy does not mean she's a loser. Beyonce and John Mayer performed a free concert at the Best Buy opening in Toronto's Dundas Square. And the Black Eyed Peas did the same at Vancouver's first store. So many haters out there, including you, Perez.

      Perez is suffering from an ailment called Schadenfreude. It's the taking joy in the sufferings or failings of others.
      It's a sick thing to do Perez, bad karma. BTW, aren't you getting sued right left and centre for stealing pics and for untrue info? Better ask for your old coffee shop back.

      A lot of celebs have been doing this in Canada. John Mayer and Beyonce did concerts in Toronto to mark the opening of Best Buy. I am not saying I am a lover of Avril - just saying that she isn't alone and I don't consider Beyonce or John Mayer as celebrities whose careers are "bombing."

      I believe Beyonce did a free concert in Toronto when Best Buy opened at Dundas square, and that was a few years ago when She's was more popular. Avril is probably being paid alot, best buy is a huge corporation.

      Ps, By no means am I saying that I like Avril, i think she's a total twat!

      It wasnt too long ago when Avril Preformed at shopping mall parking lots in canada… i remember she came here about 3-4 years ago and did that. Its nice that she gives fans a chance to see her for free…

      48

      i don't know how well her current concert tix sales are doing, but avril did play free shows at malls to promote her second album a couple years back. not a fan, but perez i'm baffled by why you have been lashing out so much at her. i do think she has a snotty/arrogant attitude and the spitting on the paps was uncalled for, but beyond that, what gives, dude? you've been giving her more free publicity than the mainstream entertainment media has lately — or maybe you two are in cohoots actually?

      52

      Avril is a self important entitled ASSHOLE. That's why everyone enjoys watching her fail. I don't get her appeal at all, her voice sucks and she doesn't write her own songs she just steals credit for them from professional songwriters. She's as fake as her pal Britney. Two losers with zero talent. So when does this asshole pop out a retard?

      You know I have come to suspect Perez is like Harry Knowles. He can be bought for a price. You can pay him under the table to put up snarky entries but that are in fact promoting your talent. I had no idea Avril was doing a free show at some Best Buy in Canadialand. Well, thanks to Perez, now we all know this. So ask yourselves: who ultimately benefits from this word getting out? Avril and Best Buy. Hey, Perez Knowles, how much has Av's management (Netwerk?) paid you for posting these recent so-called stories about her? Tell Terry McBride I for one would like to finally see her tits. Avrie, what would it take to convince you to "leak" nip shots from the paps?

      Time to stop the hating…..u r really hurting her feelings. What has she done that makes everyone hate on her so badly? So what if she acts a little self-important? You have to have a strong ego to survive in the music biz. Has she driven drunk…OD'd…pulled a gun on anyone? No. She is still a human being and does nothing to hurt any of u ….especially u Perez!

NO ONE wants to see that cunt! I bet only little kids and their parents will end up going and it'll be because they're going to Best Buy to buy Guitar Hero 3 or Highschool Musical 2 DVD and they just happen to grab the wrists bands!

      ugh, avril lavigne is a torontonian girl who happened to stumble upon fame by writing a song abut the guy she broke up with, only, it was the other way around. she was a skater girl, and she wasn't god enough for HIM. therefore, her whole career is based on a a lie, and underneath it all, she's just a fugly, short, fake person, and she knows it. it's why she's got such anger issues.
      give it up and let your husband earn the money, what he can. we'll all breathe a sigh of relief!
