Avril Lavigne has been receiving lots of love from her fans after news broke that she was hurt in a bar fight in Los Angeles in the early hours of Sunday morning. The singer is grateful for the support she's been receiving.

"Wanted to thank all of my fans, friends and family for their support over the last couple of days. Saw all ur comments and emails xo thank u," she wrote via Twitter. In a previous tweet, she said, "#ViolenceIsNeverTheAnswer."

In the aftermath of the weekend fight at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, police confirmed to E! News that Brody Jenner, who was with Lavigne at the time of the incident, has pressed charges against his attacker or attackers (according to reports, there were up to five). Jenner filed a police report for assault with a deadly weapon. He was allegedly hit with a broken bottle while out partying with Lavigne.

In a statement from his manager, Jenner also thanked his fans for the well wishes he has received since the incident. "Brody Jenner is recovering at home after being assaulted in an unprovoked attack this past Saturday night. He appreciates all the calls of support and well wishes," the statement reads, according to the Los Angeles Times. "As this is an ongoing police investigation, there will be no further statements at this time."

Although little is known about the events of the night, sources tell UsMagazine.com that the altercation took place at Beacher's Madhouse at the Roosevelt. "At first, the girl called Brody something and that set Avril off so she talked sh-- back to them," the source said, adding that Lavigne initially got into an argument with a woman.

"Brody came over aggressively and got involved," the source said. "They were scuffling on the floor. ... Brody was the aggressor and had five guys with him. When they finally got up Brody was bleeding." Another man reportedly came to the defense of the woman Lavigne was fighting.

The source added that "there was no bottle with blood and no bottle broken or anything like that [visible]."

Representatives for Lavigne had not responded to MTV News' request for comment by press time.

Britney Spears GIF-ting Fans With 'Criminal' Teases

It's a big week for music video premieres thanks to Justin Bieber, Beyoncé and Rihanna. And Britney Spears wants in on the fun too, as her "Criminal" video is also set to drop this week. Spears gave fans a taste of what to expect with a series of GIFs at Tumblr.

The five GIFs begin to weave together the story of the Chris Marrs Piliero-directed video. In one tease, Spears is all dolled up in a lacy cocktail dress as she attends a glamorous party. In another tease, Spears is seen running out of a building with gun in hand.

Another tease represents art imitating life. In it, Spears and real-life boyfriend Jason Trawick, who also plays her love interest in the video, share a kiss. The other two teases are a bit less action-oriented as she's just spotted standing around looking sexy in a black lingerie dress and twirling her hair around.

Spears looks incredibly glam in the teases for the slow jam's video, something that Piliero teased on Twitter recently. "Not a whole lot I'm allowed to say about the @britneyspears criminal vid other than that I love this video and can't wait for it to come out," he wrote. "Oh and that she looks gorgeous in it ... pretty sure it's cool for me to say that. ..."

The video is expected to drop this week, although the exact release date hasn't been announced.

Spears shot the video last month in London, right before kicking off the European leg of her Femme Fatale Tour. Little is known about the plot of the video, but when Spears was photographed carrying a prop gun on set, politicians in the U.K. accused the star of glorifying violence after the London riots. The video was shot in Hackney, which was hit hard by the August riots, and local politicians were upset by what they saw as an insensitive gesture by Spears.

"It is only a music video, but it's images like this, with pop stars glamorizing gangs, which means that some young people ... get drawn in," Hackney's Member of Parliament Diane Abbott told the ITV news program "London Tonight." "Britney should really know better."

Spears' camp shrugged off any criticism in a statement to MTV News: "The video is a fantasy story featuring Britney's boyfriend, Jason Trawick, which literally plays out the lyrics of a song written three years before the riots ever happened."

LeAnn Rimes Cutens Up the 2011 CMA Awards

She?s no stranger to country music shindigs, and LeAnn Rimes was turning heads tonight (November 9) at the 2011 CMA Awards in Nashville, Tennessee.

The ?How Do I Live? songstress worked her magic for the paparazzi outside the Bridgestone Arena prior to the show. She?s also on the list of presenters for the evening.

And coming up next week, LeAnn will be up in Grand Rapids, Michigan to play a benefit show for Standup for Kids, a national non-profit charity to end youth homelessness.

Rimes explained, ??Give,? is a song with a powerful message about how if we want love, kindness and happiness in our lives, then we need to give some of that back. I believe that message needs to be shared with the world, and in doing so, I am happy to partner with CLEAR CHANNEL to help support STANDUP FOR KIDS, an important nonprofit organization whose mission is to help homeless and street kids all across the country."

Estelle Talks Finding A Man & Refocusing Her Music In PYNK Mag

Estelle is all about refocusing her career these days.  The British songstress is getting back to her emotional roots--after hitting the red carpets--to give people the music they fell in love with in the first place. 

 

Check out her new PYNK magazine cover and quotables from the Winter issue...

The 31-year-old "Break My Heart" singer opened up about looking for a man--and she ha no boundaries.  And also getting past heartbreak so she can get back to the emotionally charged music she hit the scene with "American Boy":

On refocusing her life and career:
“I got back on the same page with my head and my heart. I just didn’t enjoy the music anymore so I turned everything around and started really paying attention to myself instead of listening to what everyone else was telling me [the album] should be. It just got real ridiculous for a while.”

On pushing past the pain:
“Every time I’d go in and record something that was really emotionally charged after one of these changing moments — those are the records that everybody loved. So I was like, ‘You might want to keep doing that. It’s going to hurt you but just keep going.’ And I did. And it hurt like hell. And a lot of people were probably hurt in the process, but oh well. They probably needed to go anyway. These were things that went with the process of me having to change my life around for the better. I definitely went through it.”

On her love life:
“I’m dating. I’m having fun. I don’t think I want to be in a relationship just yet. I’m enjoying my absolute freedom and having fun looking at the boys. There are some good ones out there. I like cute ones — black, white, whatever — with kind eyes and a kind spirit. I like men who are about something, who have a whole career to themselves. Guys who don’t really have too many issues – or at least deal with their issues. Not the ones who drift around looking for someone to take care of them… I’ve had a couple of those and they’re not fun. ”

Estelle's full interview will be in PYNK's upcoming Winter issue.
