LAVIGNE AND WHIBLEY HEADING FOR DIVORCE?

AVRIL LAVIGNE has split from rocker DERYCK WHIBLEY after three years of marriage, according to a U.S. tabloid report.
The punk pop star wed Whibley in 2006, but the couple has been rocked by persistent rumours of marriage trouble for the past year.
The Canadian pair attempted to silence critics in August (09) when they were spotted out together for the first time in four months during a trip to a grocery store in Los Angeles.
However, Whibley was nowhere in sight when the singer debuted her Abbey Dawn by Avril Lavigne fashion range during New York Fashion Week on Monday (14Sep09). Instead, he was spotted shopping in Los Angeles.
And now Us Weekly magazine reports Lavigne and Whibley have parted ways for good, and the Sk8er Boi hitmaker has kicked her estranged spouse out of their Bel-Air mansion as she prepares to have their marriage dissolved.
A source tells the publication, "She dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on. Divorce papers will be filed any day now."
Lavigne, 24, is reportedly keen to erase any evidence of the Sum 41 star from her upcoming fourth album, which he contributed several tracks to, by heading back into the studio to re-record the songs he produced.
The reworking of the tunes means Lavigne's CD will now hit stores two months after its original November (09) release date.
A close pal tells Us Weekly, "She is going to do new songs that don't have his mark on them. She wants no trace of him."
Representatives for Lavigne and Whibley had not returned requests for a comment as WENN went to press, but both stars were spotted wearing their wedding rings in photographs taken of them earlier this week (beg14Sep09).
