Avril Lavigne praises ex-husband Deryck Whibley as they perform together
Avril Lavigne has praised her ex-husband Deryck Whibley as a "legend" after the pair reunited for a performance. The 40-year-old singer and the Sum 41 frontman, 45, wed in 2006, but they split in 2009 and their divorce was confirmed in 2010. However, the former couple are still on good terms, and Deryck joined Avril on stage at the RFK Stadium Grounds in Washington on Sunday night (15.06.25) as she headlined the Vans Warped Tour. Avril and Deryck performed Sum 41's song In Too Deep together to "one of the best crowds" she has experienced. The Complicated hitmaker wrote on Instagram: "Headlined @vanswarpedtour last night and it was everything I would have expected and more! It was one of the best crowds and you guys know how to rock. "Also this legend @deryckwhibley from @sum41 joined me for one of the best pop punk anthems of all time "In Too Deep" (sic)" Deryck is now married to model Ariana Cooper, and Avril previously wed Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger in 2013, but they divorced in 2015. Avril and singer Mod Sun got engaged in March 2022, but the pair were their separate ways less than a year later. A month after the pair got engaged, Avril insisted relationships were "not easy", and she had learned to "prioritise" herself rather than relying on other people. Speaking to FAULT Magazine at the time, she said: "Yes, love is hard and relationships are not easy. "It's not easy for anybody and I've now lived long enough to realise that I need to prioritise myself and take care of myself. "I went through a phase where I was like 'I'm gonna be independent and have time on my own for a minute...' "And it really didn't last that long! But when I started the album, I was definitely in the mindset of, 'If I'm going to rely on anyone in this world, it's going to be me.' "

TV reviews: week's top picks are The Gilded Age, Stranded On Honeymoon Island and MasterChef
From period dramas and reality TV dating shows to travelogues and Oscar-winning movies, there's something for everyone on TV and streaming this week. Sisters Ada and Agnes (Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski) in season 3 of The Gilded Age. THE GILDED AGE Monday, Paramount+ Fittingly for a period drama set in an era of immense social and economic change, this third season opens with sisters Ada and Agnes (Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski) struggling to accept their new roles in society and in their own home. After years of being her wealthy socialite sister's plus one at events, the recently widowed Ada now finds herself the one with the invitations and the clout. For Agnes – whose sense of self and purpose is tied to her status – being forced down the pecking order is a shock to the system. On the other side of the street, the new moneyed Bertha (Carrie Coon) continues her ambitious ascent with a plot to marry off her daughter to a cash-strapped duke. Unfortunately for Bertha, her daughter has her heart set on marrying for love and not social climbing. Much like Julian Fellowes' other beloved franchise, Downton Abbey, this series is an addictive glimpse at a bygone time that offers bitingly current social commentary. Joanna Lumley in front of the Stone Bridge in Regensburg, Germany, on her trip down the Danube. JOANNA LUMLEY'S DANUBE Thursday, 8pm ABC With a voice as soothing as it is joyful and the inquisitive and courageous spirit of a great explorer, Joanna Lumley takes viewers on yet another globetrotting adventure. This time she's traversing along the Danube. While she may be best known as the beehived, chain-smoking Patsy, the real Lumley is far more down-to-earth than her iconic Absolutely Fabulous alter ego and, at 79 years of age, she remains youthfully eager to learn and take on new experiences. Dressed in sensible trousers and shoes, Lumley tours Germany, sharing historical insights and learning about cuckoo-clock-making with genuine wonder. Just like David Attenborough, Lumley is an inspirational tour guide. Emily Alyn Lind, Esther McGregor, Joseph Zada, Shubham Maheshwari in We Were Liars. WE WERE LIARS Prime Video Just like Revenge, Sirens and the Perfect Couple before it, this thriller unfolds in the summer playground of a wealthy family where, beneath their seemingly glossy lifestyle there is a nasty rot of dysfunction. Here we have the tight-knit foursome of Cadence, Gat, Johnny and Mirren (Emily Alyn Lind, Shubham Maheshwari, Joseph Zada and Esther McGreggor) who have always enjoyed carefree family vacations together at on the family island until one terrible summer when Cadence is found washed up on the beach. With no memory of how she wound up in the ocean, Cadence slowly begins to piece together what happened. Kyle Morrisson and Lennox Monaghan in the SBS drama Moonbird. MOONBIRD Thursday, 8.30PM, NITV & SBS On Demand The untamed beauty of Tassie certainly seems to be taking centre stage in many productions these days. Used as a backdrop for the Netflix mystery The Survivors and the ABC drama Bay of Fires, Tasmania's windswept countryside is also used to stunning effect in this film about an estranged father and son (Kyle Morrisson and Lennox Monaghan) trying to reconnect on a weekend away. Recently sober, the father is eager to bond with his son while doing some traditional mutton-birding on a remote Tasmanian Island. Upon discovering the island's native fauna is all but gone it reopens old wounds and bad habits, derailing plans for an idyllic reunion. Nicolas Cage and Julian McMahon in The Surfer. Picture: David Dare Parker THE SURFER Stan Twenty odd years ago Nicolas Cage arrived in Australia to film one of the first and lesser-known Marvel films, Ghost Rider. Back then the Oscar-winner was still a bankable box office star. When Cage returned to our shores this time to film this psychological thriller, he, much like the man he portrays, isn't quite the guy he used to be. About to get divorced, Cage's character returns to the small town where he grew up looking to reclaim his lost youth (and the family he neglected in order to further his career). Far from it being a happy homecoming, the man goes to war with a group of local yobbos and their creepy leader (Julian McMahon) and slowly begins to unravel. Amy and Mike in Stranded on Honeymoon Island. STRANDED ON HONEYMOON ISLAND Monday, 7.30pm, Channel 7 'Somewhere, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 12 Aussie singles are leaving the toxic world of modern dating behind,' we are told by Jackie O in her opening narration. Instead, professionally-matched participants are marooned (in full wedding finery) with a stranger for 21 days. There are no phones. No luxuries. No support network of family or friends. Only each other … and the cameras. Jackie promises that this new reality show will be an 'experience unlike any other' but essentially it is a strangely compelling mash-up of Married At First Sight and Survivor. Together in the tropics, the pressure of getting to know one another is magnified. And for the bigger personalities of the group – Amy and Mike – that leads to inevitable power struggles. Things get flirty in the reality dating show Open House: The Great Sex Experiment. OPEN HOUSE: THE GREAT SEX EXPERIMENT Streaming Tuesday, 6pm, 7Plus There's a lot more to being polyamorous than throwing your car keys in a bowl for a night of frolicking between the sheets with like-minded folk. At a luxury retreat housing a swag of swinging singles, couples flirting with opening their relationships decide (with some expert advice from clinical psychologist Lori Beth Bisbey as well as poolside cocktails and some saucy party games) whether to invite a third – or even fourth – person into their bed. It's a big decision. And not one that everyone can handle. A cocktail of Love Island and MAFS, this British reality series puts monogamy to the ultimate test and features some larger-than-life personalities. Scott Cam and Jana Pittman host Australia's Most Identical. AUSTRALIA'S MOST IDENTICAL Tuesday, 7.30pm, Channel 9 After Bridgette and Paula Powers, 51, became viral internet sensations for their unintentionally hilarious interview about a Sunshine Coast carjacking, comes this search for Australia's most identical set of twins. You'd think (after seeing Powers sisters speaking in unison and wearing matching garb) that search is already over because the in-synch pair would have this title in the bag. But this series proves that there's a lot of other matching duos who look – and talk – alike. So, what sets one set apart from the rest? Gold Logie winner Scotty Cam and Olympian Jana Pittman (who are each parents of twins themselves) join experts to put 100 pairs of twins through their paces. First up, a game of 'would you rather?' to see how aligned they are in their core values. Mikey Madison picked up the Best Actress Oscar this year for Anora. ANORA Streaming, Binge Even If, like me, you still feel Hollywood OG Demi Moore was robbed of her Oscar by up-and-comer Mikey Madison (which was sort of like life imitating art for The Substance star), this film is worth a look. Madison plays the titular Anora 'Ani' Mikheeva. Ani is a New York stripper who is coerced into a quickie marriage by a wealthy client while on a bender with him in Vegas. Believing the man's feelings for her are sincere and hoping the marriage will provide an exit strategy from the daily bump and grind, she says 'I do'. Far from being her happily ever after, Ani finds herself facing off with her playboy husband's family who are powerful figures in the Russian underworld. Curtis Stone joins the 2025 season of MasterChef Australia. MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA Tuesday, 7.30PM, Channel 10 & 10 Play Hot on the heels of Nornie Bero's visit to the kitchen on Monday (where she shared some of her wisdom about cooking with Indigenous ingredients before setting a Pressure Test drawing on the lessons she imparted), comes Curtis Stone. Now based in the US with his Beverly Hills 90210 wife Lindsay Price, Stone has jetted back to Australia to put the latest batch of contestants through their paces with his signature (easygoing but laser-focused) approach to cooking. The laid-back chef challenges four contestants to recreate his Herb Ricotta Raviolo with Braised Lamb. And yes, it's as tricky as it sounds. The person whose dish looks (and tastes) the least like Stone's original dish will be sent packing. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT … LOST IN TRANSLATION Now streaming on Tubi In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Scarlett Johansson confessed that making this movie with Bill Murray wasn't easy. 'Everybody was on tenterhooks around him, including our director and the full crew, because he was dealing with his … stuff' the star divulged. Director Sofia Coppola wrote the character of Bob (a movie star having a midlife crisis) specifically for Murray and spent a year lobbying the reclusive Ghostbusters star into doing it. Loosely inspired by Coppola's feelings of displacement while working in Japan in her 20s, the film explores a platonic romance between Bob and a disenchanted student (Johansson) while they are both at loose ends in Tokyo. Despite his negativity on set, Murray was nominated for an Oscar for his performance while Coppola won for her screenplay.
