Chris Willman Music WriterThe Weeknd may have kept his music out of contention for the recent Grammys, but there’s no shortage of him being name-checked on the just-released list of candidates for the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, where he leads with 17 nominations — three more than the nearest runner-up, Doja Cat, who has 14.There’s a three-way tie for third place among contenders, with Olivia Rodrigo, Justin Bieber and Kanye West all having 13 as a possibly lucky number.Another top artist who recused himself from Grammy consideration, Drake, has 11 nominations going into the ceremony, followed by Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa with nine, the Kid Laroi with eight, and BTS, Taylor Swift and Giveon with seven each. If 13 for any reason should seem like a high number for West, there’s a peculiar reason for that.

Avril Lavigne has joined the list of celebrities like Megan Fox, and Kourtney Kardashian, who are ready to say “I do.” On Tuesday the singer shared a gallery of photos from the special moment when Mod Sun, real name Derek Ryan Smith, got down on one knee in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Lavigne kept to the theme, writing “Yes, I’ll love you forever!” In french.Lavigne shared the photos on April 7th, but he proposed on March 27th, according to the caption. The singer proposed with a large and unique heart-shaped diamond ring which she proudly showed off.Mod showed love in the comments writing, “love u so much! Forever n ever my angel.” He also shared more photos and videos from their special day which included a serenade by a violinist.

They say that things come in threes. First, Travis Barker popped the question to Kourtney Kardashian in October 2021. Then, at the start of 2022,  Machine Gun Kelly proposed to his girlfriend, Megan Fox. Now, Mod Sun followed suit by asking his girlfriend, Avril Lavigne, to spend the rest of his life with him. It turns out that Mod, 35, decided to take the plunge came after watching his friends do it first. “Mod had spoken with his friends, including Travis (Barker) and Colson (MGK), who were so supportive from the jump,” a source tells HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “And seeing how happy Travis and Colson are in their engagements only helped confirm what Mod already knew and that he was doing the right thing.”

Avril Lavigne might have found her happy ending.The "Complicated" singer is setting off engagement rumors after being photographed wearing a diamond on her ever-so-telling finger. Avril, 37, wasn't wearing the ring while attending the Grammys on Sunday, but she didn't hide it while running errands around Los Angeles on April 5.If the ring is indeed of the engagement variety, it would set Avril's third marriage in motion, as she was previously hitched to Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley from 2006 to 2010, and Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger from 2013–2015.Back in January 2021, Avril began dating Mod Sun. Things appeared to get serious rather quickly, as he even got her name tattooed on his neck after less than a month of dating.
