Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers is about to spend $8.5 million, that money will go towards purchase the Bel Air mansion currently owned by pop singer Avril Lavigne.

Originally listed for $9.5 million Paul is said to have fell in love with the 12,184 square foot mansion the moment he saw it. And what isn’t to love about a home that includes 8 bedrooms, 10 1/2 bathrooms, a 10-car garage, gym, sauna, wine cellar and even a covered outdoor living room.

Closing the deal are a bunch of people including real estate broker Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker, Ikem Chukumerije of SportsRelocation.com and various reps for Chris Paul.

The mansion is a popular hotspot among the younger rich Hollywood types, before Avril Lavigne owned the home it was lived in by now divorced couple Travis Barker (Blink-182) and Shanna Moakler. The home was featured on Barker’s MTV reality show “Meet the Barkers.”

In terms of paying for the home, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a cash transaction, after all Chris Paul is currently in year 3 of a 4 year $68,000 contract and that doesn’t include any endorsements or bonuses he may have earned over that same period of time.

Hopefully the home brings Chris Paul more luck than the last two couple’s who lived in it, those relationships both ended and the evil house of breakups kept getting put immediately back on the market.

Would you want to buy the house where relationships go to die?

Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner have called it off, according to sources close to Us Weekly.

The couple, who have been dating since spring 2010, have reportedly split due to conflict over their careers – or specificially, Jenner’s lack of one. According to Us Weekly‘s source, former Hills star Jenner wanted to work more, but his pop star girlfriend preferred to take him around the world with her as she toured. The shadowy insider told Us:

“Every time he wanted to come back and take meetings to get his career back in order, she would make him go to Asia and Europe. He hasn’t worked and he wants to. They were both unhappy because he wants to have his career, she wants him to stay with her.”

The mole even says the 25-year-old pop singer vetoed “multiple” TV offers that were made to Jenner, as she preferred to have him by his side. There may well be another side to this story, but a rep for Lavigne gave a “no comment” when approached about the split.

In the past, the couple have looked a fairly solid pair. Jenner, in particular, has shown an affection for Lavigne that led to him getting a tattoo of her name on his forearm, and an ‘A’ shaved into his hair. Hell, they even fought in bars together.

Alas, the evenings of Jenner watching Avril from the side of a stage and throwing punches in clubs together seem to be over. But there is a chink of hope, apparently. The source adds:

“There is always a chance they will get back together. Brody is trying to set the ground rules and wants to be able to work. They have to find a balance.”

Do you see this relationship getting back on the rails?

Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner Split is a post from: The Inquisitr

Brody Jenner has filed a police report after getting involved in a bar brawl with girlfriend Avril Lavigne.

According to Los Angeles police Sgt. Keith Green, reality TV star Jenner’s report alleges assault with a deadly weapon – the 28-year-old says he was hit by a bottle outside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Singer Lavigne has also revealed (via her Twitter account) that she was assaulted, saying five people attacked her “out of nowhere.”

However, one witness who spoke to Us Weekly says he didn’t see a beer bottle, and that Brody Jenner was actually the initiator of the fight:

“Brody came over aggressively and got involved. They were scuffling on the floor… Brody was the aggressor and had five guys with him. When they finally got up Brody was bleeding. There was no bottle with blood and no bottle broken or anything like that [visible].”

A second witness explains to Us how the fight was triggered:

“At first, the girl called Brody something and that set Avril off so she talked s**t back to them.”

Frankly, it sounds like an almighty mess. Sgt. Green thankfully has some hard facts, confirming that nobody has yet been arrested, and that Jenner, star of MTV’s The Hills, was not given medical help on the scene, though he did later attend a hospital for stitches to his cuts.

A police investigation over the scuffle is ongoing. Watch this space.

Brody Jenner, Avril Lavigne Report Bar Brawl to Police is a post from: The Inquisitr

Singer Avril Lavigne and boyfriend Brody Jenner got a bit banged up in an incident at a Hollywood nightclub this weekend, but sources present at the altercation say the celeb couple were not the instigators.

It all went down at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood late Saturday/early Sunday. Lavigne and Jenner were having a night out that appeared to be normal- Jenner even tweeted:

“Having the best night with the love of my life @AvrilLavigne so happy right now!! .. #Movember CRUSH!!”

What happened between then and the brawl is still being determined. Onlookers say that one rowdy drunk clubgoer called Jenner a “douche,” and threw a beer bottle. At some point, it would appear Lavigne was drawn into the fray, and that there was an altercation between the singer and some female attendees as well. Lavigne tweeted later:

“I don’t fight. I don’t believe in it. To clear things up I got attacked by 5 people last night out of nowhere. Not cool. My face is f—ed… As in black eye, bloody nose, hair ripped out, scratches, bruises and cuts. So not ok to be abusive to others. Violence is NEVER the answer.”

Jenner tweeted following the fracas:

“Interesting Saturday night… Just got of the hospital with a new scar on my face.. Charges/chargers!!!”

Luckily for Lavigne, she does have someone looking out for her. Her most recent tweet states:

“Thank you @EvanT for coming over to visit me today and bringing me a hello kitty ice pack. I’m so lucky to have a friend like you.”

No arrests have yet been made in relation to the incident.

Brody Jenner got more than he bargained for on Friday night when he went to the Hollywood Roosevelt with girlfriend Avril Lavigne and was smashed in the face with a bottle.

Police are still investigating the fight but according to onlookers Lavigne got into an altercation with another female at which point her former Hills starring boyfriend jumped in to break up the fight.

Eventually fists were thrown, people were hit and police arrived at which point Jenner was taken to the hospital.

According to reports Jenner received a few stitches and was quickly sent on his way.

Right before the altercation Jenner had tweeted:

“Having the best night with the love of my life @AvrilLavigne so happy right now!! .. #Movember CRUSH!! haha”.

After the fight Jenner tweeted:

“Interesting Saturday night… Just got of the hospital with a new scar on my face.. Charges/chargers!!!”

At this time nothing else is being said by the couple’s reps and we’ll have to wait for the full police report to determine exactly what likely happened.

Would you take a bottle to the forehead for Avril Lavigne?

Pop superstar Avril Lavigne and her ex-husband Deryck Whibley have placed their $9.5 million Bel-Air home on the open market, Lavigne petitioned for divorce from Whibley two years ago.

For $9.5 million the new home owner will receive eight bedrooms and 10 1/2 bathrooms. The home also boats a wine cellar, 10-car garage, gym, sauna and a covered outdoor living room that opens out onto a swimming pool with hot tub and built-in barbeque.

The home is the same one that was featured on Meet The Barkers because it was formerly owned by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker who also got divorced while living in the home, but that’s probably not the best selling point.

Avril Lavigne and Ex-Husband Deryck Whibley Put Bel-Air Mansion On The Market is a post from: The Inquisitr

The Canadian singer made the spontaneous decision to visit the Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlour, in Hollywood, on Saturday, March 12, to get a safety pin etched onto her neck following a day with her friends.

She wrote on her twitter page earlier in the day, “Girls day!!!!!! Listening to my new record with my girls and catching up … Love u babeskis. (sic)”

Soon after, she added, “Uh-oh girls day turning into girls night… Should I get a tattoo???? Haha. (sic)”

Throughout the procedure, Avril, 26, kept her fans updated with pictures and dropped hints about the design she was having.

She tweeted at one stage, “Omg..k. Here we go… It’s comes in handy all the time, it can hurt you, but at the same time keep you together, safety first! (sic)”

She eventually revealed the design in a picture, adding the caption: “It’s a… Safety pin bitches!!!!! (sic)”

Despite her spur-of-the-moment decision to get the body art, Avril had no regrets later.

She wrote on her twitter account, “What a great day with my girlfriends… Hahah. Just being me… Girl time is always necessary. And I got a tattoo. Holy crap hahah. (sic)”

The ‘What the Hell’ singer has previously revealed she gets tattoos to remind her of fun times in her life.

She said recently, “I like all my tattoos, they all remind me of friendships, a lot of them are matching tattoos with friends. It’s a moment in time. Whenever I’m having a really good time I bust out and say ‘Let’s get tattoos.’ ”

She has two designs which mirror current boyfriend Brody Jenner’s etchings, the word “f**k” on their ribs and lightning bolts on different parts of their bodies.

She also has ‘Brody’ tattooed under her right breast, while the reality TV star has ‘Avril’ etched on his arm.

The 26-year-old singer also has two tattoos which she shares with ex-husband Deryck Whibley, and a star inside her left wrist which is identical to one her friend, ex-Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody, had done at the same time.

Moving forward on a positive note

Deryck and I have been together for 6 and a half years. We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note.

Thank you to all my family, friends and fans for all your support.

So is Avril Lavigne Pregnant? The picture above says its definitely a possibility, although she could just be mooching to the grocery store like the rest of the population does, in sweats, having a rough day.

TMZ.com asked her to respond to the pregnancy rumors, to which she laughed and replied, “Yeah, I am such a fat ass.” Before climbing into her car and driving off.

Not exactly a denial. But certainly not a confirmation. Bump watch begins.

Evan is a guest writer for The Inquisitr and is currently preparing to launch www.fuhso.net.

In case you weren’t aware, take note: Avril Lavigne is too sexy. Well, according to  Malaysia at least. This comes about as the “Sk8er Boi” singer is set to perform there on August 29th, 2 days before the country’s independence day.

One official from the country’s culture Ministry even stated that the concert has yet to be approved. Performers in Malaysia are required to be covered from knees to chest and cannot jump, shout, hug or kiss on the stage. Sounds like fun! Conservative much, Malaysia? Do you accept that some countries are so stringent in these kinds of stipulations or should Malaysia loosen up? I just want to know why promoters would advertise a concert in such a conservative country before even getting the approval.
