Monday April 9, 2007

Singer Avril Lavigne and her husband, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, have bought the Bel-Air home formerly owned by Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler for $9.5 million.

According to the L.A. Times, Lavigne, 22, originally wanted to build a home but settled on the 12,000 square foot manse that the Barkers lived in while filming their MTV reality show Meet the Barkers.

The three-story gated house has eight bedrooms and 10 1/2 bathrooms. Built in Tuscan-style, the residence sits on one acre, has an elevator, an office, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a steam shower, a sauna, a pool, a spa and a 10-car garage.

Lavigne is currently selling her Beverly Hills home for $6.2 million.

The Canadian-born singer’s third album, The Best Damn Thing, is due out April 17. She will also be the musical guest on next weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Shia LaBeouf.

Travis Barker was the drummer for blink 182 (and completely hot as bleep!!!) and Shanna Moakler, well lets just say if you googled her name, the first pic up would be her tits!!! you do the math!

6:18 PM Anonymous Says:

Funny how (I think it was in a Jane mag. article) she talks about how she could +never+ use drugs, yet she goes and marries a rocker, lives in a former crack den...hmmm
And Stacie, well grow up. She's a poseur and having done voice-over work does not an actress make!

Oh, you decided to go for the "you must be a very unhappy person" line, eh Stacie? How...common.

6:03 PM Nora Says:

I don't understand why all the Canadians that make it big head for LA to live - give me a break - that much money would buy half of a town in BC.

5:37 PM Anonymous Says:

A small acting part in Over the Hedge? Oh man, that COMPLETELY justifies Avril's whole career. What was I thinking?! Really, that's Big Time.

KARMA PEOPLE! Be jerky and the whole world will be jerky right back to you! Now go outside and play!

4:14 PM Anonymous Says:

I hate how the headline is "avril buys the barkers' MTV mansion". If anyone deserves the fame its Deryck, Sum 41 has far more musical talent than avril and her nails-on-a- chalkboard voice and faux rock bubblegum pop songs

2:30 PM Stacie Says:

Oh and the 1:21 post...you misread her name. if you care to insult someone off the bat, at least get the name right. how rude to insult someone like that...you must be a very unhappy person.

2:28 PM Stacie Says:

There has always got to be some haters on every board. If you don't like Avril or even know of her, why on earth would you post on her article? Avril is very cool and has her head on straighter than most her age. And BTW, Avril HAS been around for a few years, she didn't all of a sudden get famous. And she had a small acting part in Over the Hedge.

Avril sucks and sum 41 isn't too bad. As for the Barker's, GROSS! She is a short lived actress and he is just trash.

2:10 PM swede Says:

shes so f*king beautiful.. man

1:33 PM leafy greens Says:

avril is so skinny! how do all the requisite organs fit in her body?

1:21 PM Pumpin'puss is a stupid name. Says:

Pumpin'puss is the most stupid name on here.

1:04 PM Pumpkin*puss Says:

Just exactly what does Travis Barker & Shanna Moakley do for a living anyways? I see these 2 all over the mags, but just exactly who are they? I think he looks like a freak & she looks like a poster woman for really bad botox or something.

1:00 PM amy d Says:

I'm surprise she's that rich. She's not that famous. A lot of people never even heard of her. Does she do anything else beside singing?

12:33 PM Anon4867 Says:

hope that she has enough brains to gut that house and start out fresh! I watched that reality show 1 time and his LAZY UGLY FREAk of a wife was sleeping while the kids are running around and some nasty dog was sh!tting & p!ssing on the floor!!! GROSS!! nice house avril you got one hell of a deal! LMFAO

12:26 PM Anonymous Says:

Who cares - must be nice to be so rich, so fast!
Don't BLOW it!!! Haha!

12:23 PM locaparajaimie Says:

Not to mention bleach everything outside as well. Oh he!! just burn the thing down for crying in the mud...

12:13 PM Levin Inches Says:

I hope she's smart enough to hit the entire interior with bleach, after that scurvy crack head Travis Barker lived there.
