Presented without comment from Hollyscoop (”Avril Lavigne Is a Hypocrite,” March 1):

Avril Lavigne needs to either shut her mouth or stop being such a hypocrite. Avril has blasted young Hollywood stars for their “embarrassing” obsession with the paparazzi.

“I think a lot of the Hollywood girls, I won’t get into names, are obsessed with the paparazzi,” Avril explained. “They call them or go to the Ivy [restaurant] so they’ll be seen and followed for the rest of the day.

“I won’t go shopping on Robertson Boulevard in LA, because it’s so cheesy. I would feel lame. It’s embarrassing.”
