Lavigne on Simpson

Lavigne: Lip-syncing singers 'pathetic'.

So are pop singers who think buying clothes at Hot Topic makes them punk.

So whats news here? It's just the one who get caught who pay the price. I'd venture a guess that 99.9% of "Pop" stars are lip synchers, just like Milli Vanilli and every boy band, girl band etc etc. that came after them.

These plastic icons might as well be compute-generated and save the world a lot of makeup and silicone. To call the generic crap they deal out "music" is like calling a package of Ho-ho's a square meal.

And so far as Lavigne goes, she was a hero to my daughter, who now has serious second doubts because Lavigne is going down the "I am a pop star, so that immediately makes me an actress and a mens-magazine model" route.

Gimme a break. Her skin looks like the surface of Mars.
Nothing an airbrush can't take car of I guess.

Rock stars are *supposed* to be ugly. They are the geeks who sat in their basement learning guitar while all the cool guys were out dating cheerleaders. Keith Richards, Chrissy Hynes, Steven Tyler... these people are all ugly enough to stop a clock. But they don't sell Glamour magazines I guess.
Sheesh.
