Must Be Hard to Live With Insecurity

Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Canadialand > Wacky, Tacky & True

avrilsad.jpg

One of Avril Lavigne's back up dancers has revealed that the popwreck is an insecure mess and a diva to work with!

Sara Von Gillern might be out of a job soon!

The So You Think You Can Dance alum was asked during a recent interview if Avril is difficult to work with as she's painted to be in the press?

After a loooooong pause Sara told me that Avril's "really rad and fun to work with." Ah, just one year in the biz and she's already spinning like a pro. But then again this breaker knows a thing or two about spinning. Since she was rocking a seriously spiky and streaked hairdo, I asked if the new look was for the tour. "Actually, it's a rule we all have to have dark hair, there can only be one blonde on the stage," she told me about blonde Avril. "One of the other dancers is bleach blonde but she has to wear a wig. She actually has like five different dark ones."

Yet another thing that proves Avril is a douche.

    this remind's me of the time my pet squirell laid a clutch of egg's and wouldnt tend to them so I asked my neighbor to loan me his pet python so that the snake could incubate the egg's. It worked out quite nice until the snake started molesting those poor little squirell's and before we even knew what was going on we had little squirell/snake hybrid's running all over the house and what not. I told my self that I would never let this happen again anf guess what, it did. so, I decided to open a diner near the intersection of florence & normandie to serve up some squirell/snake hybrid omelete's and you wouldnt belive it but they were a hit until the rodney king riot's started and those darn people burned down my diner. oh well,I can alway's go back in the roller pidgeon business. woo hoo

    Wow, i always knew she was a bitch! What a cry baby! she doesn't even look that good as a blonde. Maybe being blonde is the only way her fans can reconize her because it can't be her singing!

    Avrils a bitch, shes so rude to fans as well apparently. I can't believe she's on tour with the Jonas Brothers (cos theyre like AMAZING). She better not fucking go near them. She's dirty, who knows what they'd catch off her.

    I don't like her, but that's nothing. It just makes sense, that way Avril stands out more, and how do you know she made the rule, it could have been someone else's doing.

    you have to stop saying the stupidest shit about people just because they don't kiss your ass.

    i hate how your site bags on her all the time. i like her as well, she's got a good head on her shoulders and she's just going through a bit of a rough time obviously. god, i should make a LEAVE AVRIL ALONE video.

  30. gina says – reply to this

    I think that it makes total sense to have only one blonde on stage… the singer!!! She should stick out, correct?

  31. Aluriaphin says – reply to this


    31

    They did that for Marilyn Monroe's classic movie, 'Some Like it Hot'. There was like a ton of girl extras, all in a band together in the movie, and they all had to dye their hair blonde but no one was allowed to have the same shade as Marilyn, to make her stand out.

  32. lola says – reply to this


    32

    I'm a waitress and have been waiting on Avril and her husband for two years. They are ALWAYS super sweet and very generous tippers and when i run into them on the street, they always recognize me and say hello. as far as background dancers having similar hair, it makes sense to have a uniform look so the star of the show can be the star of the show. people aren't going to the shows because they're fans of the backup dancers. duh!

  33. Paris says – reply to this


    33

    I'm not a fan of Avril's at all and I do wish she'd go away, but this is a lame story. Things like this happen all the time. When David Lee Roth was in Van Halen back in the day, they never took an opening band with them where the singer had blonde hair. This type of stuff is common, and the dancer also didn't say Avril was an insecure diva. You did.

    I would be so insecure and looking over my shoulder if I were you. This is stupid and obviously just like the rest of your garbage its not true.

  37. Chiquita says – reply to this


    37

    I am not a fan of Avril - her music gags and her whole look is so wanna-be (but so was Gwen Stefani's). But there's nothing "douche" about requiring her dancers to have dark hair - it's an aesthetic thing and makes perfect sense to pull off a look for the show. I bet there are dozens of other performers who have similar requirements so think harder about the things you want to slag people about, Perez.

  38. gina says – reply to this


    38

    i liked it better when you were calling her "April", how much do you wanna bet that she herself isn't even a true blonde yet no one else gets to be one while she's on stage. WHATEVER!!

    43

    erm.. this doesn't mean she's a diva or a douche. in theatre and in concert hair colour and costuming are very important because when you're far away it's difficult to identify people using anything else. the 'one blonde on stage' rule isn't vanity; it's good stagework. it means you can tell where avril is no matter what she or the back-up dancers are wearing.

    you've been losing credibility lately, perez.

    45

    So when Mariah Carey does these things she's a "diva" but Avril's a "douche", if hilton had any original ideas instead of blatantly knocking off Avril's style, which once again proves HILTON IS A HYPACRITE.

  46. bobnchoke says – reply to this


    46

    avril is a douche because she has backup dancers color coordinated so that the star of the show stands out? ya… what a douche… this is pretty lame perez… the only insecurity that's showing through is your hatred for avril lavigne… not sure what she did to you but get over it… it's pathetic to watch to trying to pick on little girls…

    her career is probably winding to a close, so let her ride it out… quit being such a fucking douchebag and insulting her with these lame non-stories every 3 fucking days.

    And another thing… stop posting shit about teenagers like that cyrus girl and those jonas bros… you are borderline for being a pedophile with how you talk about some people who are under 18… keep it adult… and pretend to be one.

    perez, you fat pig…you give fags a bad name with your shitty reporting.

    first of all, i am not a fan of avril but your obsession with her is just gross. of course the back up dancers are not going to look like the lead or the singer. do you think beyonce, madonna or janet would have dancers backing them that looked like them?

    by the way, the clothing line you have is sad, it's made for ugly mall goff girls with no self esteem, much like fat former twinks with no talent of their own.

    Re: Karen – No she didn't claim to be "punk rock" show me the article where AVRIL said she was "punk rock" because every article i've read she's called her music "pop rock". Should hilton really be leading off a post with "must be hard living with insecurity" he should know.

    wtf is wrong with you people, avril is a talentless hack who treats her fans like shit, doesn't even write her own songs, and the songs she gets other people to write for her are stolen anyways. this is by far the best person Perez choses to make fun of and support it whole heartedly. i've hated this cunt since she first came out, at least britney and jessica and christina and that lot never pretended to be anything more than popstars, meanwhile we've got THIS pop star pretending to be a bad ass little "hardcore" punkster because she like…wears converse and has a pink streak in her hair and sings about skaters. wooww i'm so scared. fuck this bitch, keep ripping on her perez.

    It's been proven over and over that that hilton is a liar, at least AV has some more face time, speaking of Avril's backup singer Sarah a few months ago she phoned into a australian radio station and was asked about perez hilton she called him a "asshole" on live radio ouch!.

    57

    Re: sarahbears – WTF is wrong with you?! lets go down your well researched points (sarcasm) 1. "she treats her fans like shit" where do I start? you mean by hanging out before and after concerts signing autographs? or showing a cancer patient a backstage tour and upgrading her seats? that point is defeated. 2. "she doesn't even write her own songs" which explain's why Avril's name is on all of her songs, and why she's paid like a songwriter, and I didn't realize Avril's songs were taken from other people like "when your gone" or "hot" were stolen from other people, in the case of plagerism of "girlfriend" Avril technically was found innocent by the rubbinoos, when they issued a statement saying "Avril is innocent in any wrongdoing and the similarities are coincidence" people are innocent until proven guilty right? that point is defeated. It's people like yourself who are misinformed by today's pop culture media AKA perez hilton etc that truly defeats what's real and what's fake. PS didn't you mention people like christina were never trying to be something else? didn't christina start as a christian style disney star? And as far as she dresses she can wear whatever the hell she wants to wear if it pisses overtly uptight people like yourself good!.

    um, the hair thing is pretty common. you want your main artist to stick out, that's all. i don't understand how this is news.

    what abotu when gwen stefani had her backup dancers sign a contract that said they weren't allowed to SPEAK ENGLISH in front of the press? were you bitching about that?

  64. yup it's me says – reply to this

    The Jonas Brothers are amazing? Why did they need the help of a 14-year old slut to become "popular"? Oh and by the way, you know Percy Horton has certain fantasies about these YOUNG guys as well as Zac Efron, judging from the curiously large number of posts he makes about them. Isn't Percy like 38?

    Percy, fatty, Avril may or may not be a douche, but all these posts prove you're something worse than her. Physically, too. You have the right of free speech but when you are stepping on her toes, that's where it stops.

    I don't see how this makes her insecure or a diva??? It completely makes sense that she would be the only blonde on the stage. It's incredibly immature how you twist things around when you hate someone to make them sound horrible. Grow up and get a life.

    leave her alone. The color of hair on the stage is a theatrical statement , she is the star and needs to be focused on. When I danced on tour the choreographers always told us what color of wig to wear….. ect. That is show business.

  85. Rene says – reply to this


    85

    I just don't see how that makes her a douche? If she's having a show, what's wrong with the singer having a different hairstyle… I mean, I can see how it makes a cool effect; she stands out. Cut the crap Perez and stop trying to make her seem bad; she's a great musician and always true to herself.

  86. Nicole says – reply to this


    86

    It's too bad that Sara's on tour with her…she's an amazing breaker (and dancer in general) and could do so much better than touring with Avril!

  87. Lee says – reply to this


    87

    Maybe if this "singer" actually had a good live voice and some charisma she wouldn't have to rely on hair colour to stand out. I agree with you Perez, a REAL star wouldn't even need this garbage in order to be different.

    And to all the idiots who posted crap like, "you should know perez…", why are you even on his site if you don't like him? He gets paid either way so if you don't like it, leave!

  88. mel says – reply to this


    88

    Oh c'mon that's not douchey, don't fabricate reasons to hate her. You think she's the only one who has requirements like that for her dancers? Let's face it, performing is all about aesthetics and appearance.

  89. really? says – reply to this


    89

    that doesn't prove she's a douche. she has a small build and wants her fans to see her. many lead singers dress to stand out from the rest of the stage. dancers are props in these circumstances. I think P. you just don't like cute girls cause you wish you were one but you're not.

  96. PEREZ,URPATHETIC! says – reply to this


    96

    you're the insecure one here! avril isnt bad compared to some of the shitty pop artists out there today. she actually can sing if you listen to her ballads. she has her life together unlike too many celebs to name. she has MORALS. shes really not that bad. id take her life anyday over yours. and def her looks over yours. i think your just jealous. and you hate on her bc she can be a "douche"? OH PLEASE. talk about hypocrite. you're way more of a douche than she is perez. everyone can be. and her whole image is based on being fierce and having that "dont mess with me" attitude. shes basically the punk of pop music. thats her whole image. but dumass people like you dont understand that.

  97. Johnny says – reply to this


    97

    What a stupid post, what a stupid argument to call someone a diva because they require the hired dancers to wear certain clothes and hair color, this is probably the stupidest post I have ever read. Why the hell do you post such stupid crap? Almost all shows have requirements that the hired help must meet, if I am going to a concert I want to be able to easily identify who is who an this appears to be an easy way to do it. Why do I even come to this website anymore? Perez you are really going down hill. This site used to be fun now it is really becoming ridiculous.

    almost every singer does this, they have to stand out on stage since it's to see them that the audience pays not their dancers.
