Avril Lavigne has hit out at
Britney Spears and says the American star cannot blame the media for her problems. The 22-year-old Canadian believes Britney has only herself to blame for her public meltdown. "What's happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. If you want a piece of this business you have to be able to deal with it," she said in comments reported by Wenn. Britney filed for divorce from Kevin in November and weeks of partying with celebrity buddy
Paris Hilton and strange behaviour, including the popstar shaving her hair off in a California salon, followed the separation. The 25-year-old singer recently completed a four-week programme in a Malibu rehabilitation centre to help fight her demons. Yet Avril thinks tabloid pressures are pretty simple. "You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness because that's the job," she added.
