Pop Quiz: Avril Lavigne >>

While the tabloids keep
going on about how Avril
Lavigne is a drunken mess,
the 20-year-old Canadian pop
singer sounds remarkably,
disappointingly sober when
we catch up with her over
the phone in Rome. Still out
on tour behind her sophomore
album, last year's
double-platinum "Under My
Skin," the "My Happy Ending"
hitmaker plays Wednesday at
the Chronicle Pavilion
before taking some time off
to start thinking about her
next project. Lavigne will
also put in a pair of
television appearances:
Friday on "The Tonight Show
With Jay Leno" and Aug. 26
on "Good Morning America.".
Q: Have you seen the
headlines today? "Avril
Lavigne Drinks Too Much."
A: I don't even drink.
Q: Here's another one: "Avril
Lavigne the Party Girl?"
A: That's funny.
Q: Apparently there are some
photographs of you and a
bottle.
A: That was a long time ago.
Yeah, I know Star magazine
had this huge two- page
spread about how I drink all
the time and I'm an
alcoholic. But the funny
thing is I was on tour for
10 weeks straight in Asia
and I went to L.A. to visit
my girlfriends. I drank like
once on my whole tour. We
went out for the weekend and
everyone was like, "Avril is
an alcoholic!"
Q: Here's the first sentence
of one story: "Rock chick
Avril Lavigne's booze-fueled
antics are becoming so
common and so public that
friends are worrying that
she is out of control.
'She's turning into a
nightmare,' says a source
close to the singer."
A: I mean, really, it should
make me look a rock star.
Q: And in the picture they
ran with it, you have a
cigarette, cell phone and
burn marks on your wrist.
A: Really?
Q: It looks really cool,
actually.
A: I don't have burn marks
on my arm.
Q: Well, you should get
some. So what you're telling
me is that these newspapers
just print up a pack of
lies?
A: Well, what they're
saying. I went out for a
weekend with my girls.
Q: And all hell broke loose.
A: You know what the thing
is? All people talk about is
bad stuff anyway.
Q: Talking to you now, you
don't sound like much of a
nightmare.
A: No. Everything is going
good. I'm in Italy right now
in the middle of tour, which
I'm sure you're aware of.
And I feel really refreshed
and healthy. It's summer.
It's beautiful. I'm spending
a lot of time by myself,
reading and stuff like that.
I have a show every night,
so I have to really watch
what I'm doing and stay
really healthy. I have to
stay clear of colds. I'm
doing really well.
Q: And here I was, hoping
for a little Courtney Love
on the other end of the
line.
A: What do you mean? God,
that weekend really came to
bite me in the ass. I was
just being dumb and drunk.
