Cancelled!
Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Music Minute
Yesterday, we mentioned how the Malaysia's Islamists wanted Avril Lavigne's concert canceled.
Who can blame them???
Apparently April's moves on stage were considered "too sexy." Haha!
In Malaysia, they require all performers to wear clothes without obscene or drug-related images. They also need to be covered from chest to knees and need to refrain from shouting, jumping, hugging and kissing on stage.
Well, yesterday Malaysia ended up canceling Lavigne's tour, saying it wasn't appropriate, especially with their independence day celebrations soon approaching just two days after the show.
The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry stated it decided April's show was not suitable for Malaysian culture.
A rep from the ministry says, "It is not timely. It's not in the good spirit of our National Day. If we go ahead with the concert, it is contrary to what we are preparing for."
An official from the youth wing of the fundamentalist opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said "We don't want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models."
Good luck ever thinking Lavigne is a good role model!

Even though I don't like Avril, what's a concert without shouting or jumping? That's bullshit. Then I wonder who's even allowed to play in Malaysia.
crackhoeren
yuck at the spelling mistakes in this post.
Fuck their stupid and strict rules. They can all go to hell with their prudish shit.
I think Avril is still pretty awesome.
'Too sexy' haha too funny
First
)
go away avril, you suck.
Re:andy27 you wrote a comment under the hills posting saying you don't watch the show because " you have a fucking life" I find this rather funny because you comment on each posting put up here, which to me, means you pretty much live on you're computer, so really what life is that? LMAO
omg I love her!!!
Re: cjh1987 – Thank you!!! And to think that the Wired article actually claims Mario hires his sister to proofread and correct errors in his writing/posts. Ha! What a fucking joke! He needs to fire the bitch, or reassign her to be another maid in his apartment, along with his mother-maid.
LOL..sucks for her
first
whatever thats retarded
Re: robbierob – What life is that? LOL..same life as your's, I guess? You're the one on here reading every post, and every comment section if you're actually able to recognize I post a comment on everything. I guess YOU are spending just as much time on here as me, huh? So, that in itself ought to answer your stupid question, since we both seem to share the same life.
But to be more specific, I work 9am to 5pm, and since I have the luxury to delegate this office's tasks to everyone else here, I can afford to sit on PerezHilton all day long and post comments left and right. I do it on the clock, and certainly NOT on my own time, once 5pm rolls around. So stop sweatin my nuts and stop hating.
Hey Perez I was just wondering why you hate avril so much? Is there a backstory there? Did you meet her and she was evil? Or do you simply just can't stand her? I was just wondering. I read your website all the time and you always have mean posts about her. Now I'm not a fan of hers, don't listen to her music I don't even pay attention to her execpt when I read about her here so I was just curious. Well You are awesome and I love your Website and your sense of humor, In fact I have to check daily! So I was just curious, Thanks for all the Gossip I love it !
Psh. leave the flailing of the head to miley cyrus. she does it best.
she suckss.
thank god she got cancelled.
who the fuck is Avril Lavigne?
I hate her!!
If she's sexy, than I am the sexiest woman in the whole world.
AVRIL LALOSERSELLOUTPUNKPOSER! WHO CARES!
Re: robbierob – I KNOW SO TRUE, ANDY27 HAS ISSUES!
April?? I actually don't care for Avril, but this is such crap. Who knew Malaysia was a bunch of buttoned-up grannies?
Avril…sexy?! Now that is laughs! She should just pack up and go back home to Montreal b/c Ontario is awesome! Dumb twat!
Re: Andy27 – So are you kind of like Michael from "The Office"?
Again, Who would want to perform in Malaysia?
No wonder why they're so stuck.
Wow, they've got a stick up their arses. I should imagine not many performers would be allowed there under those rules.
SHUT THE FUCK UP HATERS! I have friends in malaysia who have been waiting 7 YEARS! to see Avril play there and their extremely pissed and sad to see the cancelled, you don't understand Avril is massive in asia, her last album "best damn thing" sold 1 million copies in it's first week in japan which is nearly twice as many copies of jonas bros. new album. Their sick of being treated like fuckin sheep, islamic fundamentalist run the fuckin country, you can't even jump on stage!. There were groups trying to fight the ban but the fundamentalist's run everything, their better off dead. P.S. Hilton has no right calling Avril talentless, has he been nominated for 8 grammy's or sold 30 million albums? FUCK NO!!! Re: princesadelmundo – She's not from montreal "dumb twat". I LOVE YOU AV!!!
their loss. Welcome to 2008. I'll bet they'd even think ME too risque. I'll be "Dancing In The Streets" to avoid their archaic, small minded trappings. In short, fuck those assholes.
poor baby avril i feel bad for her… NOT!!
i hate her
Can't there just be a worldwide Avril ban?
hahahahahahah her music sucks anyways
And Avril IS a great role model piece of fuckin shit, she always includes songs of inspiration like "keep holding on" "who knows?" and "tomorrow". Hilton hates young women! elton john said recently "I don't understand the mosogeny in america" (hatred towards young women) I agree! America itself is turning into a islamic fundamentalist state, where women will have to cover their faces, not be able to drive etc. This is bullshit!
Quit calling her April and call her by her given name jeez! I don't even like the girl and it gets on my nerves!
If Avril isn't allowed to jump or run around, what's she suppose to do? sit in a fuckin chair?. I heard one of Avril's best friends/producer butch walker ran into you at a club in L.A. and you snuck out the back door, P-wussie!
Re: justaNORMLgirl – DIE DUMB BITCH! You'll always be a virgin!
Re: karencarpenter – I agree!Re: PommyMama – thank you!
Perez, just shut the f*ck up! It's obvious you dont like Avril, get over it!
Sometimes I just can not believe you.. You're really contrary to yourself you know that? You're all like "Good cause against bullying" this and that, and yet you go on and on and post crap about Avril!
Shut the fuck up! Nobody's interested in what you think. Gawd, you're such a pig
Re: Andy27.. LOL I don't need to sweat you're baby dick.. really!
I'm loving it that people are seeing how Avril really is. a no talent, bitch. ha!
The dog and pony part of the show wasn't a factor?
Maybe Avril can do a remake of right said fred's "i'm too sexy" called " "i'm too sexy for malaysia" Re: JiLLianKyLe – Shut up girlie! that's my future wife, when I see you i'll either snap your neck or if your attractive enough rape you.
LOL!!
and i have to say Avril kinda sucks …. and the Islamic group in Malaysia has all the right to do whatever shit they want to…
the races have hard time living there bcoz of it
Avril Rules!!
Please just stop even covering anything she does. No one cares. Waste of space.
Malaysia goverment is just pathetic and ridiculous!
haaa Avril sexy show??? ahahha
imagine a concert in Malaysia of true sluts like Britney, Rihanna, Madonna, Mariah, Christina etc etc
I mean those girls are sexy they love to show their bodys like Britney's 2004 tour was 100% SEXUAL but not Avril's Tour pleaseeeee
damn she should tour here (Latinamerica) and skip that sucky ignorant country.
I think it's funny that he kept on calling her "April."
And I love the Malaysian culture now.
That sucks for actual real performers and artist who want to play in malaysia.
But this is freakin' Avril Lavinge-she has no talent! The most she'll influence teenagers to do is be wannabes!
Avril doesn't care what some fat fag says.
those dude from malasya are super boring. but hey kuddos to them for cancelling avril's shitty gig.
Okay, she sucks and has no talent,
BUT
shouldn't her booking agent know about these things, and
should have skipped over Malaysia?
Perez, you know not to go there, too!
I'm just glad I'm living in a country where I can wear what I want and flaunt my image the way I see fit, not cover myself up like some muslim, no offense to muslims, it's just an example. Sucks for Avril, I guess. =\
malaysia is superb…avril sucks big time and tak rugi pun dia tak wat concert kat sini….hahahahah andy pun bodoh
