Avril Lavigne: Banned in Malaysia?


Even celebrities have their low points, and on Monday, August 18, 2008 Avril Lavigne looked a bit disheveled and downcast as she left Katsuya sushi restaurant in West Hollywood, California.
The “Girlfriend” songstress relied on the support of a gal pal as she made her way from the exit to an SUV that was waiting for her. Lavigne’s hubby Deryck Whibley followed shortly after in his black Porsche.
Perhaps Avril was lamenting the news that she may be banned from playing her August 29th show in the Malaysian Capitol city of Kuala Lumpur due to her “too sexy” image.
Malaysia’s Islamic opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party is trying to shut down the show, saying that she would promote the wrong values just before the country’s August 31 independence day holiday.
One party official told press, “It is considered too sexy for us. ... It’s not good for viewers in Malaysia. We don’t want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models.”
