Avril Lavigne's marriage has the been the subject of much speculation. She's been hitched for several years now to Deryk Whibley from Sum 41 - for what that's worth. Are they happy? Did they get married too young? What's really going on there? Well, the brat doesn't seem to be doing much to dispel any rumors. Avril's been seen doing some heavy duty partying - and a certain greasy oil heir always seems to be nearby. Details:

[While Deryk Whibley was performing onstage with his band, Sum 41, his wife, Avril Lavigne, was spotted partying on the French Riviera with oil heir Brandon Davis, sparking rumors that the pair are getting closer by the day. Avril hit the scene in St. Tropez a few days after Brandon flew in on July 16. "Brandon and Avril hang out together all of the time, but it's unclear if Deryck is award of it," a pal reveals. "Brandon and Avril are always careful not to be photographed together."

Although a rep for Avril says that she and Brandon just happened to be at the same yacht party and Brandon is "just a friend," an insider questions whether it's really a coincidence that they were both here at the same time. In recent months, Avril and Brandon, 30, were spotted all over LA, including West Hollywood bar El Carmen, Pace restaurant, and partying at hotspot MyHouse. But the French getaway definitely appeared to lift her spirits. Just days before, Avril, 24 and Deryck, 29, were having a more low-key time at Madeo in LA together. "She looked miserable when she was leaving," says a witness.]

Brandon Davis is the ex-boyfriend of Mischa Barton, who's been known to do some serious partying of her own. Coincidence or ongoing theme? At any rate, I totally believe Avril and Brandon are hooking up. They're both selfish hedonists who love to party and both have funds to, umm, share their bounty. And Deryk? He must also have something on the side or he simply must not care. Open relationships are all the rage!
