Lavigne buys house, writes thank-you

Avril Lavigne today closed on a 9.5 million dollar house, then made sure to fire off a kind thank-you note to the makers of her rhyming dictionary.

"Without you I'd have no songs,
I'd be up worrying all night long,
Trying to find words that rhymed,
Your great dictionary has saved me much time."

Pity that some of the 9.5 million couldn't go for a little bit of depth, or at least music lessons to learn to put the rhymes on an up beat instead of a down beat for a change.
