Avril Lavigne: People Who Buy Tabloids Are Dumb

Avril Lavigne spoke with The Calgary Sun about being photographed and videotaped in Los Angeles acting like an out of control alcoholic. “I was out for 10 weeks in Asia, (went) to L.A. for a weekend to meet my girlfriends, went out — and yeah, we had some drinks, yeah — and some paparazzi took some pictures and now everybody thinks I’m an alcoholic,” the singer explained. As for the tabloids which played up the drinking incidents, Lavigne said, “To me, I look at that and my friends look at that and we laugh. All those people who buy those magazines are dumb. Those who buy them and believe them are dumb. One good thing … it makes me look more like a rock star.”
