The 'Complicated' singer - who recently announced she has split from husband Deryck Whibley - caused chaos during a stay in the UK by upturning each of her band members' rooms and throwing ice cubes everywhere.
She explained: "I definitely have trashed hotel rooms. I don't do it all the time, but once in awhile. In London, I was with my band, and I was in the bar with my friend Devon, who's my guitar player. I looked at him – it was like two o'clock in the morning – and I said, 'I think it's time for a band initiation.'
"So I went to the front desk and got keys to everyone's room. We got buckets of ice, and we got everybody's room keys and threw ice on them. The people who weren't in their rooms – we put it in the bathroom, on their mattresses, all over. It was really funny."




Avril has also revealed she can't resist partying whenever she is on the road and enjoys inviting her backing musicians back to her hotel suite after a live show.
The 25-year-old star told America's OK! magazine: "I'm a big fan of hotel mini bars.

CAVE SAYS SORRY TO LAVIGNE & MINOGUE


NICK CAVE has apologised to AVRIL LAVIGNE and KYLIE MINOGUE for featuring them in his his new novel THE DEATH OF BUNNY MUNRO.
The book's main character, Bunny Munro, is a door-to-door salesman obsessed with the pop stars - and the Bad Seeds frontman is hoping the singers will forgive him for the references.
He says, "I would like to publicly apologise to both of them, especially Avril Lavigne, because the writing about her is darker and more invasive I guess."
The Australian rocker, who duetted with Minogue on 1996's Where the Wild Roses Grow, hopes she will laugh it off. 






He adds, "I know Kylie and at least, I hope, she will take it in the spirit it was written. At the time that the book was set, which was about eight years ago, or seven years ago, Kylie Minogue and her hot pants were all the tabloids wrote about in this country (Britain)."

“She had her hand on his knee and they were whispering in each other’s ear, laughing,” says a witness. “They even closed the club, sneaking out just after 2.”

We have a hard time seeing this couple together. We know he dated Lindsay Lohan, but that was before she turned into such a train wreck. He’s just such a nice guy, and it seems like he’d be able to do better than Avri
