Part 2 of the Avril Lavigne Just Jared interview
JJ: What’s the musical direction of your next album? How are you evolving musically?
AL: I would like to sit and and write some acoustic stuff. That’s what I want to do but that doesn’t mean that’s what my record is gonna be. It means creatively, that’s what I want so I need to do that for myself and then I’ll just see. I don’t know, I cant really tell. I’m just touring for six more months and so your body goes through cycles and change so I have no idea.
JJ: Your clothing line, Abbey Dawn, was a nickname from your dad? How did he get that nickname?
AL: He worked in Kingston, and it was like a street name or something. It was this area called Abbey Dawn and I don’t know. He just called me Abbey and Abbey Dawn. All my friends in high school called me Abbey, and when I first started out, my alias name was always Abbey Dawn in my hotel rooms, so it was something that stuck with me my entire life. I always used to think if I had a girl I’d called her Abbey but now I have a clothing lined that I call Abbey…
JJ: What’s your favorite thing you like to do with [Sum 41 husband Deryck Whibley]?
AL: Just chill and be at home [in LA].
JJ: On the road, what’s your favorite junk food?
AL: Yea, when I go through Canada, I get ketchup chips and dill pickle chips because it’s Canadian. And then, I like to be really healthy though because being a singer, you can’t really get sick or you won’t be able to sing. Like, I’m sick right now unfortunately.
JJ: Do you have a personal chef? What do you do for food all the time?
AL: No, my bus is really decked out. We have a huge fridge and stove and all that. Basically I just get up and eat a salad. I have a kitchen so I’ll just make what I want. We have catering too, so we’ll just send someone to get me a salad or vegetables. I have a steamer on my bus too, so I’ll steam veggies. I totally go through my thing where I’m like super healthy, but then I go through my phases where I’m like “Okay, I’m gonna pig out.”
JJ: How far are you from having kids?
AL: Oh, like 10 years…I don’t see that for a very long time. I have lots that I want to do.
JJ: I don’t believe that! What’s your favorite movie?
AL: Well, I have a whole bunch. I like Home Alone, that was like my favorite movie for a long time. I like Girl, Interrupted a lot.
JJ: And what are your favorite websites that you frequent?
AL: Just Jared! (laughs) I don’t go on the Internet very much. I do check out Myspace, and other people’s MySpaces. But every time I’m on the Internet, I’m looking
for information or recipes. I like downloading songs.

Avril Lavigne new clothing line Abbey Dawn, for Kohls
Avril Lavigne is teaming up with retailer Kohl's and launching her own rocker-chick clothing line in July.
Abbey Dawn (Lavigne's childhood nickname), the back-to-school juniors' collection will draw on the eclectic contents of Lavigne's own closet: "a lot of hot pinks and blacks and stars and purple and zebra," she says. "Basically, everything I wear."
"I have a very particular style," says Lavigne, 23 — one that's often replicated by her fans and one that's not readily available at the local mall. "I want it to be available to a lot of girls, and I want it to be affordable." Apparel prices will range from $24 to $48. "I walked through (a Los Angeles) Kohl's the other day and said, 'Oh, when my line is here it's totally going to stand out.' "
Mixing skulls and plaids with checks and stripes, it's "a rock collection with a feminine edge," says Don Brennan of Kohl's. "I think it will broaden who we bring into our junior department," which is dominated by the Candie's brand (last month, Hayden Panettiere was named the new spokeswoman).
Unlike other celebrity-endorsed collections, Lavigne stresses she's not just entering into a licensing deal. "I actually am the designer. What's really important to me is that everything fits well and is well-made, so I try everything on and approve it all. to see more of the article click here
