Avril Lavigne

At least she mixed it up this time and simply flipped off the camera while screaming at its operator, rather than hocking a loogie in his face.

Look, Avril Lavigne. You're not hard. No one likes you. Whenever we see pictures of you or hear your awful songs, we want to slit our wrists. But then no one would be around to expose you as the hack you are. So we reluctantly go on living.

Sorry, but when a celebrity spits on photographers outside a nightclub two nights in a row, and their husband joins in the following night, and she continues to act like a mean drunken fool thereafter, there is little she can do to save her public image.

Not unlike when a celebrity gets so high and mighty about their "religion" that they start bashing others' psychological problems. Yeah Tom Cruise, we are calling you out. Or when a celeb gets busted for DUI and launches into anti-Semitic tirades. Sorry, this wasn't supposed to be about Mel Gibson. For once.

Wannabe punk Avril Lavigne took a break from spitting at photographers last night, but worry not, her husband, Deryck Whibley took over -- this time with possible consequences, according to the sleuths at TMZ.com.

After a night of partying at the opening of Area nightclub in Hollywood, the Sum 41 frontman quickly hocked a loogie at a cameramen, hitting him square in the glasses.

The saliva soaked photographer quickly took action, though, looking for a cop to report the incident to. However, his effort proved to be futile, as the only policeman nearby simply told him to call the LAPD.

THE LESSON LEARNED: Apparently, being the lead singer of an awful rock band makes you better than everyone else. Spitting on someone is illegal in the U.S., something the Canadian-born duo should learn, and fast! Man, why does everything have to be so complicated! Sorry.

This event follows a two-night tirade from Avril, where she launched an oral offensive on two separate photogs, including one of TMZ's own. Classy move, a$$hole. Really bad ass, too. You're a regular Russell Crowe. $100 says the editors of T.H. Gossip could demolish this Deryck Whibley jackass in a fight. Rock star shmock star. We're coming for you Deryck! And tell your parents to learn basic spelling!

Pop star and wannabe punk rocker Avril Lavigne wed Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in Montecito, Calif., on Saturday afternoon.

The Catholic ceremony began at 5 p.m. and lasted only 20 minutes. Lavigne, 21, hails from Ontario, Canada, as does her 26-year old husband. The two were friends for several years before they began dating in 2004.

Whibley proposed in Venice, Italy, back in June 2004, while she was in the midst of her European tour.

"Avril looked beautiful! Her hair was very bright blonde. Her dress was simple, but elegant," a witness said of the ceremoney.

After the groom kissed the bride, guests flung rose petals on the newlyweds as they traipsed up the aisle.

"Attendees cheered with excitement, and were so stoked for the newlyweds," said the witness, who is totally not trying to cash in on her friend's fame by talking to the tabloids.

Lavigne may act like she's trying to act tough in order to sell CDs, but deep down, she says she's a real sweetheart, too.

"I might look like a tough chick â€" and I am â€" but I'm also a hopeless romantic inside," Lavigne said.

When asked if the nuptials will impact the release of more sub-par music from Lavigne or Sum 41, the newlyweds had no comment. They also declined to comment on whether their future children would be given names as absurd as Avril or Deryck. Actually, no one asked them that. At least that we know of. We made it up. However, if someone did ask either of those questions, chances are they would not comment.
