Washington, Sept 21: Britney Spears has found a new ‘party’ pal in pop rival, Avril Lavigne.

The two met when Britney joined pals at Hollywood hotspot Hyde, and after hitting it off, they even shared a ride to another hotspot, Winston's, reports Contactmusic.

Avril and Britney’s partying comes just months after the former c criticized Spears for being too weedy to handle the demands of stardom.

"What's happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. If you want a piece of this business you have to be able to deal with it. You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness, because that's your job," she said at the time.

Lavigne had also previously slammed the 25-year-old mother-of-two saying she dressed like a ‘showgirl’ and danced like a ‘hoe’. (With inputs from ANI)
