After it was revealed that Avril Lavigne is paying dancers way below the industry standards, the Canadian singer and so-called songwriter has cancelled auditions for dancers on her tour. The dance community was set to boycott Avril for the low pay rate but the Dancer’s Alliance posted an update on Monday night saying that “As of February 4th, 10:30pm Avril’s management has canceled the audition tomorrow and has opened up a new conversation with the agencies. Thanks for everyone’s support on this issue.”

Congratulations to the dancers for getting what they wanted. Demand for what your worth and don’t fall prey to egos like Avril!

Hilary Duff Gets Wrapped

Hilary Duff launched her new perfume called ‘Wrapped with Love’ at the City Myer Store in Sydney Australia on Saturday. The actress/pop star commented on the fragrance saying “I don’t want to eat it, but it’s very yummy. It totally reminds me of summer time. It is very sweet.” Ok, that didn’t really explain anything about it, but hey, it’s her fragrance after all and she’ll describe it whichever way she wants.

Earlier that day, Hilary performed on stage at the Acer Arena as part of her 2008 ‘Dignity’ tour. When asked about her performance, she said “It was really, really great … the fans were crazy. I love that it always makes for a great show.”
