We expected more from you, Avril….

Just a month after filing for divorce from Canadian rocker Deryck Whibley, the 25 year old singing star has been secretly dating the former That ’70s Show actor, insiders tattle to Life & Style Magazine. We hear the new couple enjoyed a romantic night out at Nobu in West Hollywood on late last month and were again spied partying at Wonderland Nightclub in Los Angeles on Nov. 14.

“She had her hand on his knee and they were whispering in each other’s ear, laughing,” a tipster divulged.

“Avril is selling her home where she lived with Deryck, while Brandon still lives in his family’s Bel-Air mansion….They both needed a place to live, so they decided to move in together.”

Avril and Brandon has been house-hunting around Beverly Hills and nearby Hollywood Hills in the past week, a friend of the 25-year-old “Girlfriend” star reveals in the Nov. 2 issue of In Touch.

“She and Brandon aren’t sure where the romance is headed, but Brandon has never lived with a woman before, so it’s a big commitment on his part.”

Avril announced her separation – but not a divorce – from the rocker on her website last month.

“Deryck and I have been together for 6 and a half years. We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart,” she wrote at the time.

“Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note…”

The “Girlfriend” hitmaker has moved to officially end her marriage to Sum 41 singer over “irreconcilable differences,” according to papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday. Avril lists their date of separation as September 4, 2009, three years and one month after their July 15, 2006 wedding.

The estranged couple has no children and Avril has asked that Deryck not receive spousal support.

Will Avril Lavigne’s divorce stall the Emmy’s?

“Deryck and I have been together for 6 and a half years. We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship,” Avril wrote.

“I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note. Thank you to all my family, friends and fans for all your support.”

In a message on the MySpace page for his band, singer/songwriter Whibley also posted a message about the split. “The past 6 and a half years have been the most amazing years of my life. It’s sad it has come to an end but Avril and I are still family and moving forward in the most positive way possible,” the message reads. “Our decision to part ways is amicable and she holds a special place in my heart and forever will be a great and amazing friend. Thanks to all our family, friends and fans for all the support.”

Deryck and Avril haven’t been photographed together since last December.

In 2008, the singer signed a major deal with Procter and Gamble to produce a new toiletries line, that wil include perfume, aftershave, bath oil, bath soap, shower gel, body shampoo, and body lotion.

Avril’s Black Star collection arrives later this year.

“I’m traveling to London next week where I’m about to announce my latest project… my veryfirst fragrance!” Avril blogged on Monday. “I’m really excited and can’t wait to share it with you. It has been a pretty cool experience. It’s so me in a bottle. I love the packaging. The name is Black Star!”

After spending hours listening to all of her newest music I decided to craft a rocking photo collection of some of my favorite performance photos of Avril Lavigne. All the while still avoiding yet another attempt by her lawyers to enforce those restraining orders.

Has Avril Lavigne said “See Ya Later Boy!” to husband of two years, Deryck Whibley? The 24-year-old “Girlfriend” hitmaker is rumored to have recently separated from her 28-year-old mate.

The young couple is said to be struggling to deal with Deryck’s fleeting career as Avril works to maintain international pop star status.

‘They have been growing apart for months,” a source tells the National Enquirer. “Deryck isn’t motivated in his own career, so he’s been drinking and partying.”
