different than<br />
she did when<br />

THE RUMOR THAT JUST WON’T DIE:<br />
AVRIL IS DEAD!<br />
Hey,fans,whyyougottabesocomplicated?Theinternet<br />
celebrated the 15th anniversary of Avril Lavigne’s debut<br />
single on May 14…by dredging up the rumor that she died<br />
back in 2003. Since then, we’ve apparently all been fooled by<br />
an actress named Melissa Vandella, a look-alike hired to take<br />
over the life of the Canadian pop star, 32, at the peak of her<br />
career. The proof (above) has been staring us in the face,<br />
according to some devoted<br />
fans, who<br />
point out the dark lyrics of songs on her second album,<br />
2004’s Under My Skin. (Get it? Someone else is now under<br />
her skin!) Examples: “Don’t leave me hanging/in a city so<br />
dead/held up so high on such a breakable thread” (some<br />
believe the real Avril hanged herself after the death of her<br />
grandfather) and “I’m living a lie” (no explanation needed).<br />
Now seems like a good time to mention that this theory<br />
originated on a Brazilian blog post written to show “how<br />
conspiracy theories can look true.” How true that is — just<br />
ask the (not) dead celebs at right!
