Blender convinced faux punk rocker Avril Lavigne to pose sort of topless for the June 2007 issue. They cover her up with a yellow banner that reads “Hell Yeah, I’m Hot!”

She’s now happily married. But does that mean she can’t still have fun? “I used to drink like a motherf******,” she said. “I’m way more mature now.”

Avril Lavigne recorded the chorus to her new single “Girlfriend” in eight languages, and Mandarin was the toughest to master.

Besides English, the Canadian pop star recorded in French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin.

“The hardest one was actually Mandarin. Japanese was easy, sort of. French was easy, but German was difficult,” the 22-year-old Lavigne said at a news conference Thursday in Hong Kong promoting her album, The Best Damn Thing.

Rockstress Avril Lavigne makes a wish at the release party for her new album The Best Damn Thing at New York hotspot the Box on Tuesday. At the pretty-scary-in-pink goth party, the singer told PEOPLE how she keeps her marriage to Deryck Whibley strong as she prepares for a promotional tour: “We just make sure that when I have my two weeks off he has his two weeks off.”

Avril Lavigne has suggested that Britney Spears shouldn’t blame the paparazzi for her recent problems because the media is such a core part of being famous – the problems really lie closer to home.

Avril said recently: “What’s happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. If you want a piece of this business you have to be able to deal with it.”

“You can’t complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness because that’s the job.”

She added that Britney must have chosen to party in the public eye because she likes to go out drinking too but “no one really gets to know”.
