Just as the music industry pumped out a bevy of Britney Spears clones (Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera started out as just that), the coming of Avril has spawned more than its share of copycats.
Reviewing a recent Ashlee Simpson concert, a reporter noted that her baggy pants were weighed down by her microphone battery pack, exposing her ``butt cleavage.'' Avril made the same fashion statement two years prior on her concert tour. Simpson's also been photographed wearing a P-U-N-K shirt, emulating Lavigne's own ``rock-chick'' style. Website www.amiright.com noted as much with its parody of the Simpson song Autobiography, entitled Clone of Avril Lavigne. The parody lyrics included the line: ``I've got rivals, pop princesses Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff. They're clones too.'' Kelly Clarkson's video for the smash hit Since U Been Gone was clearly Avril-influenced as well, with Clark trashing her boyfriend's home, which was reminiscent of a scene in Lavigne's Don't Tell Me video.

Who is this Andrew Darwitan guy, and who is his connection at the Saskatoon-Star Phoenix? ;D

It's been more than a year.
But uh... I just discovered this thread.
Well, how if I say that this Andrew Darwitan guy has absolutely no connection with whatever paper that is?
And anyway, that parody wasn't any good.
Actually, most of my parodies aren't (nah, actually I was just too obsessed with teenage pop-rock chicks.. it's quite ashame to know that I used to write those parodies, though... :P).

even if the parody blows, somebody deserves a medal if they got in the paper.
