A topless Avril Lavigne likes old-fashioned gentlemen, like Brody Jenner

Avril Lavigne is covering Maxim’s November 2010 issue, and she even did a few topless shots!

During the E! behind the scenes, she described her perfect man: “I like a classy man, a gentleman who opens the door and gives flowers and always puts the lady first. I’m a little old-fashioned like that.”

She’s been dating Hills star Brody Jenner for quite some time, but no word if he does all the things mentioned above. They do have each other’s names tattooed on each other, and that’s kind of old-fashioned, circa 1990s biker culture.

Other things she told the mag:

On how she has avoided the well-covered troubles of other stars: “I got here on my own. I came from a small town and grew up in a regular home. I know what I’ve worked hard for. I’ve seen a lot of people who have gone a little crazy and who are really into the Hollywood scene. I don’t really like to hang out with people like that.”

On her tattoos: “This is ABBEYDAWN—that’s my nickname and clothing line. I have a lightning bolt, a music note, and a star. Oh, I had a little star here last time, but now I have a big star. I have about 15 altogether, but they’re all small.”

On shooting with Maxim for her third cover: “I’m older and more comfortable with my femininity. The first time I was about 19 and was very nervous. I was more of a tomboy, I guess. I’ve always had a great time shooting with Maxim. I feel like it gives me my freedom. It’s an edgy magazine, so it’s cool.”
