Avril Lavigne Releases New Video;Jimenez Leads in Thailand Golf

It hasn't been easy for Avril Lavigne lately,the Canadian singer/songwriter who has been reaching the record charts for more than a decade now.In December 2014,she announced to her fans that she hasn't been feeling well and asked them for their prayers.A private person,she didn't specify the illness.On top of that,her marriage to fellow rock star Chad Kroeger is reportedly on the rocks.
In spite of this,the Ontario native has made a new Vevo music video for her single "Give You What You Like,"which is interspliced with footage from the Lifetime TV movie "Babysitter's Black Book,"about a group of young girls who turn their babysitting business into a prostitution ring to make more money.
Avril turned 30 last September.The recording artist,who is petite at 5'1" tall,also has a perfume called "Wild Rose" and a clothing line known as "Abbey Dawn."She is on her second marriage and just tweeted that she thinks it may be time for her to get a little doggie,now she has the time.*
In Huan Hin Thailand,51-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez,the oldest man to ever win a tournament on the European tour,is in the lead after two rounds of the True Thailand Classic presented by Black Mountain.Jimenez,who won twice on the European Tour last season at the age of 50,started 2015 with a win on the Champions Tour.He shot an excellent 11 under par 66 today,including seven birdies and one bogey.
I'm very happy,Jimenez said.I am very disappointed to make bogey on the last,but overall I played very solid and made a lot of birdies.I have the flu and I'm very bunged up and slept terribly last night,but apart from that,I'm fine.*
Indeed,Jimenez made an eagle at the ninth hole in the first round.The tournament is being held at the Black Mountain Golf Club.

Neil Young;Claudia Leitte;LPGA Golf

We're staying on top of the latest,biggest and best this week,as we always do here.We have the main trailer for the scifi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow" starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt,which opened Friday.There are also two film clips from the Rolling Stones' 14 On Fire Tour,currently rocking its way through Europe to sellout crowds.These are very recent promos from Lisbon and Zurich,so you get a sense of how the band is doing and the atmosphere that surrounds them.Well,if you can't actually attend or get a good seat,I've got you covered.
In "Jumping Jack Flash" you get one of the Stones' biggest hits.Fans never tire of it.In this Rio version from 2006,you can see Keith Richards jamming with Darryl Jones,the band's longtime bass player.The colossal crowd is beside itself.As you see in the Zurich and Lisbon clips,the Stones can still generate that kind of excitement today.The upcoming dates are:
7 June-Landgraff,Netherlands-Pinkpop Festival
10 June-Berlin,Germany-Waldbuhne
13 June-Paris,France-Stade de France
16 June-Vienna,Austria-Ernst Happel Stadium
19 June-Dusseldorf,Germany-Esprit Arena
Tickets were still available as of Friday for the 3 July show in Roskilde,Denmark at the Roskilde Festival.*
Canadian singer songwriter Neil Young generated plenty of excitement himself when he rocked hard on Saturday Night Live in "Rockin In The Free World,"a socially conscious number dealing with homelessness and the environment,among other topics.Young spent a number of years as a member of the band Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young and has appeared regularly in the annual Farm Aid concerts.*
A fresh face for most of us is that of the Brazilian star Claudia Leitte,33,who made her international debut with Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez in the official FIFA World Cup song."Largadinho" is one of her biggest hits:
"So let your body loose and do the lazy groove
Lazy groove,lazy groove
Move your arms around like you've got nothing to lose
Lazy groove,lazy groove"
It's from her latest album "Axemusic-Ao Vivo"(2014).
Her full name is Claudia Cristina Leite Inacio Pedreira.Fans call her "Claudinha." Born in Sao Goncalo,Rio de Janeiro,she was a member of the band Babado Novo from 2001-8.Now she has signed with the Roc Nation organisation,hoping to achieve more internationally.Roc Nation records are distributed by Universal Music Group.*
The high achievers in ladies' golf are in Waterloo,Ontario this weekend for the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic.In second round action Friday,China's Shanshan Feng shot an eleven under par 65 to share the lead with the defending champion,South Korea's Hee Young Park,who shot a 66.American Michelle Wie continued her successful season with sole possession of third after her ten under par 67,and Anna Nordqvist of Sweden was nine under par for fourth place on the leader board,having shot a spectacular second round 64.
