Avril Lavigne will tour Southeast Asia and Japan

　　Avril Lavigne will tour Southeast Asia and Japan this month and is in and out of the studio working on her next record. Here, the singer sounds off on her other favorite Canadian rocker and when she could have been royal.

　　My biggest guilty pleasure: "Cupcakes."

　　Best city for shopping: "Tokyo. The style is so crazy and out there."

　　Best on-stage moment: Performing with Alanis Morissette in 2005 at the House of Blues. "She's a Canadian rocker, so she was always very inspiring to me."

　　The 27-year-old also is honing her design skills in the beauty arena: She recently released 12 styles of Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips featuring her drawings. And music is never far away, of course. Avril Lavigne is a mind of good singers. I believe that she will be better, because her fans have been supporting her just like what I did.
