A couple of weeks ago I posted a story about Avril Lavigne's marriage being in the shitter, and of course a couple of her looney fans came out of the woodwork to inform me how wrong I was. Because, oh yeah? SUCK IT. After news broke early yesterday of their split, Avril herself has confirmed that her marriage with Deryck [sic] Whibley is over. From her blog:

Deryck and I have been together for 6 and a half years. We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note.

Well obviously your marriage is going to fail if you're married to the same guy you've been dating since you were a teenager. Of course, it doesn't hurt if you're an annoying, immature twat who wants to drunkenly fuck your way through Hollywood and your husband looks like Gollum's second cousin. The only mystery here is how it lasted this long. I've had sour cream that I thought would take longer to expire than this marriage.

Stupid Avril hamming it up at her "Abbey Dawn" fashion show earlier this week:
