Avril kicks off The Black Star Tour tonight in Beijing, China, as part of the China Valley Music Festival. Can't wait to see the set list!

Just like for The Best Damn Tour, I will be developing a fanbook to (hopefully) give to Avril when she comes here to Canada in the fall so start thinking about what you want to say! I also want to start brainstorming a gift(s) to include as well (she's really into Hello Kitty so maybe a few cool pieces from there? Something to decorate the tour bus with? Let me know your ideas!). I won't be starting anything until the summer, I just want to know your opinions

EDIT: Here are the first pictures, courtesy of Avril's Twitter. I will post the set list once an official one comes out. It will probably be a little different from the tour since this is just a festival performance.

Absolutely adorable. I don't think we have ever seen her looking so happy and excited. A must watch!

Videos from the press conference from Avril's launch of Avril x Lotto in Beijing on April 27.

Avril officially launched Avril x Lotto in Beijing today.

Here is the official Smile single cover! Her expression is priceless! I would have liked to see it jazzed up a little bit though, it's kinda plain. I think she is wearing this dress.

Some interesting photos were posted on Twitter today (here, here and here) of someone modelling what they say are pictures for Avril Lavigne's microphones. I take it as showing off the ones she uses on stage, but she might be coming out with her own line! She does have the signature guitar, so this would fit quite well! Cool!

Check out this video of Avril arriving in Beijing, China today. Her fans are awesome! No doubt she is going to do some final dress rehearsals and possibly some more Avril x Lotto promo?

Avril and Brody out shopping and grabbing a Starbucks in Brentwood yesterday, Thanks Avrilsmusic.

Avril is on the cover of Japan's Cool Trans magazine for June.

Here's a great new interview that Avril did while in Australia. The third fragrance is coming very soon!

Yesterday, Avril tweeted from the set of the "Smile" music video! Can't wait to see it!
