Avril Lavigne is out promoting her brand spankin' new album "Under My Skin," but when it comes to her pop starlet rivals, she's still singing the same old song. "I don't really like her," the ersatz punk rocker, 19, says -- again -- of her 16-year-old nemesis Hilary Duff, in an interview with the New York Daily News.

Though Lavigne still hasn't met the teen queen, she's certain she has her all figured out. "I can tell what she's like," she maintains. "She's too much of a kiss-a**. You can tell that she's a goody-goody." And besides, says a hubris-filled Avril, "She'll probably try to avoid me for the rest of her life."

As for Britney Spears, who Lavigne has said "dresses like a showgirl" and dances "like a ho," she has little hope of crossing her path, but tells the paper that if "Britney wanted to be cool and hang out, then I would put all ego aside." We're sure Brit will pencil that in once she finishes frenching Kevin Federline.

Avril even feels a wee bit (very wee) of empathy for the megastar's constant media scrutiny. "Imagine being an artist like Britney, where every day you have to put on these short little tops and show off your stomach," she tells USA Today. "Like, girls get bloated sometimes, you know? I just think that would be so uncomfortable, don't you?"

Despite the high school-ish rivalries, Lavigne says she's "more of a woman now," and it seems she's already learned the grown-up game of romance denial, insisting to the Daily News she was never involved with her former guitarist Jesse Colburn ("We were just friends") and isn't dating Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley ("We're friends").

Avril also has us contemplating that age-old question about whether a person who declares herself deep is, in fact, deep. The singer rages against those who accuse her of not writing her own tunes, telling the News, "This record proves I'm a writer. The songs are personal to me. I've always been a really deep person ... It's my art. Don't [bleep] with that."
