Even though its not avril lavigne, i must admit i am still impressed by her website creators. Obviously they have degrees and are professionals but this layout would maximise adsense income.

Indeed, it is her official website. If a fansite put that, they would be getting charged/sued over having "official" anywhere on their page. Record companies are usually very strict when using that.... (for obvious reasons)
It's her official site. It may seem like it's not because of the pink designs and such, that is because of the theme of her new album.
The site is most likely not run by Avril or the Record Company itself - It's probably licensing of her name to another company - They've got to make their money somehow!
To the kind of stuff celebrities sell otu lately, AdSense is so low on the scale that it wouldn't matter much.
