1. Avril Lavigne's name is tattooed on a Mod Sun's neck, apparently confirming their relationship

He was a rapper prone to rushing into ill-advised tattoos, she was a former fingerless glove-wearing teen rock star, can I make it any more obvious? Avril Lavigne is reportedly dating Mod Sun following the pair's collaboration on a new single, "Flames." TMZ got wind of the relationship after spotting a giant tattoo reading "Avril" on the nape of Mod Sun's neck, with the letter "A" doubling as the anarchist symbol. "The tat is 100 percent the real deal because, as our source put it, there's no way Mod would EVER get a 'temp tattoo,'" TMZ said of the rapper, who once fake-married Bella Thorne. Us Weekly likewise confirmed that the pair are "seeing each other," and also that Lavigne is now 36 — a real double-whammy of unsettling information.
