Bear Praise: Avril Lavigne — Great concert at The Pearl at Palms
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Avril’s sold-out concert. What a magnificent performer. She plays piano, guitar, and drums as well as singing and of course looking great. The Pearl is much, much better that the Joint at Hard Rock.

Others will recall [...]

I thought the movie would never end — it got worse and worse as it went on. There were so many errors it was ridiculous. I don’t think even a Kate Bosworth nude scene would [...]
