It’s interesting what people will find when they zoom in on photos of celebrities. Take Demi Lovato, for instance. Now she’s the one who claimed that she went to rehab for emotional issues, which happened to be an eating disorder and cutting.

But what’s interesting is that she’s got a little note to self on her cell phone about HEROIN! I thought Demi wasn’t a junkie?!? There were rumors that she was fond of cocaine, but we had no idea that she dabbled in heroin (or not — lawyers, please don’t sue us.)

Hey, at least if she doesn’t claim a drug problem, then she can still bounce back with her Disney audience, right?

From the agency:

Disney starlet Demi Lovato made her way out of Teddy’s in Los Angeles, California on August 3, 2011. As Demi walked out she had her cell phone in hand with what looked to be a sticker message that read “Heroin Killed The Radio Star” as she picked up her car from the valet. Could this be her reminder to avoid going back to rehab?

What do you think? Why does Demi have a note about heroin on her phone? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Disney starlet Demi Lovato has revealed that she was a poor role model. The actress and singer checked herself into rehab last November after it was revealed that she was cutting herslef and had an eating disorder.

She said that she used to get upset when young girls referred to her as an inspiration to them because she knew her real life was different.

In a new interview, she said, “Kids used to tell me, ‘You’re my role model.’ And I’d want to shake them and like, ‘Whyyyyy?’”

Now that she’s sought treatment for her issues, she says that she’s a person that young fans can look up to. She said, “I finally feel like I can inspire people. I can be proud of it.”

She went on to say that she hopes her honesty about her personal problems will give fans the courage to get help if they need it. When asked about why she has been so vocal about her own problems, she said, “Because I know that if I can use my voice to speak to one person, or one family, then I’ve done my part. I feel like it’s no coincidence that God put me through all of this and has also given me the voice that I have. I feel like my purpose on Earth is much greater than just being a singer, a musician or actress. I think it’s to reach out to people and to raise awareness of these issues that not many people speak about.”

You go girl! We love her positivity and the fact that she’s using her global voice to help those in need! Kudos to her.

We could’ve told you this one!

Yesterday, rumors surfaced suggesting that Ryan Phillippe, who’s 36, had begun quietly dating Disney star Demi Lovato, who’s 18.

A source was quoted as saying, “It was really hot and heavy for a while”, and that they’d hooked up, but it wasn’t anything serious. The snitch even went as far as saying that Demi wasn’t aware that Ryan was going to be a father for the third time “until it basically happened”, adding that “it kind of threw her for a loop.”

A source has confirmed that the rumors are just that — rumors. The source said, “This is not true. He’s totally single.”

And there you have it! Stop assuming things just because people may stand next to each other at events. Heck, we’re not even sure where this rumor started. But he’s twice her age, people!

Disney star Demi Lovato was ridiculed for the longest time over her weight. She was bullied in school and called “fat”. All of that mistreatment lead to her eating disorder, which left her in treatment. Now, she’s showing those bullies!

The rehabbed actress/singer took to her official Twitter page to show off her new bikini body — and she’s proud! You go girl!

She tweeted the above photo, saying, “I’ve been working so hard to get healthy and fit.. I can’t believe I’m about to do this but I’m so excited..Here’s … http://say.ly/kQIkzb”.

After the big reveal, she said, “I never thought I’d ever feel confident enough to ever to that. I’m excited how far I’ve come since being completely ashamed of my body..”

She continued, “I want any girl/guy out there who struggles with body image or confidence to know that it IS possible to find peace with yourself.”

She added, “It hasn’t been easy, but it starts with a commitment to yourself.. Your mind.. And your soul. And trust me, I’m still working at it!! Haha”

Good for her! Stay strong Demi! What a positive message to send young girls!

Disney star Demi Lovato is hitting out at cyber bullies who target those suffering from mental illnesses.

She recently admitted to suffering from an eating disorder along with being bipolar, and now she’s blasting Twitter users who have been using the social networking service to make fun of people with real issues.

She said, “I wish there wasn’t so much pressure on society to be thin. It makes recovery so much harder. My heart goes out to any and all women who deal with this daily battle. I can’t stand it when people make fun of the diseased so many people struggle from.”

She went on to say, “Along with making fun of illnesses or diseases, doing it over the internet only makes you more of a coward. Not to mentioned you’ve performed the act of cyber-bullying, something that is equally wrong and unacceptable.”

I couldn’t agree more! Get ‘em Demi!

In her newest blog post for Seventeen magazine, Disney starlet Demi Lovato talks about music and how it has helped her.

She said, “Music has always been a huge part of my life and has helped me through some tough times. Certain songs always give me confidence, put me in a good mood and inspire me. Here’s a list of some of my favorites, the music that helps keep me feeling positive and reminds me to stay strong:

“We All Need Saving” by Jon McLaughlin
I listen to this song when I need reassurance that I’m not the only one on the planet who struggles or has issues. It’s really true. We ALL need saving sometimes.

“Not Afraid” by Eminem
This song is really inspiring to me because Eminem’s album was based on his recovery. This song made me feel confident in conquering my diseases.

“Word of God Speak” by MercyMe
My Favorite Christian song! Lifts me up every time I hear it and my faith instantly gets renewed.

“A Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke
This song is a classic that always keeps me looking ahead knowing everything will be ok.

“Strong Enough” by Stacie Orrico
I listen to this song almost every day. This song makes me feel like I have a purpose in life because God made me strong enough.

“Surrender” by BarlowGirl
In order to recover from any addiction, you have to surrender and recognize what you need to overcome. This was a song I had on repeat in treatment knowing that if I surrender, beating this is possible.

“Beautiful” by Bethany Dillion
The lyrics to this song remind me that I AM beautiful, even when I’m feeling insecure.

What songs get you pumped up??? Let us know in the comments!

Demi Lovato recently opened up for her 20/20 interview which is set to air on Friday. She talked of binging and purging, as well as her continued cutting. Little tidbits from the interview have been trickling out and this time we’ve got her talking about leaving the Jonas Brothers tour, along with punching Alex Welch.

Oceanup Reports:

On Jonas Brothers’ Camp Rock Tour issues: ‘I was performing concerts on an empty stomach. I was losing my voice from purging. I was self-medicating. I was not taking medication for depression, and I literally was so emotionally whacked out that I took it out on someone that meant a lot to me.’

On punching Alex Welch in the face: ‘I take 100 percent, full responsibility. I feel horrible. [She] was my friend.’ Demi on rehab treatment: ‘For the first time in my life, I started to feel.. A picture of my little sister, on my little bulletin board, was one of the main things that kept me going. I just kept thinking, ‘OK, set this example for your little sister. The real reason why I’m sitting down with you,” she said, “is to open up the eyes of so many young girls, that it doesn’t have to be this way.’

I’m glad that she is now in a position to come out of this with flying colors in addition to helping many young girls. Good for her.

Demi Lovato has revealed that she’s been a cutter since the tender age of eleven!

In her new 20/20 interview, she talked about her recent trip to rehab, where she was treated for cutting, bulimia and other emotional issues.

Demi called cutting, “A way of expressing my own shame, of myself, on my own body. I was matching the inside to the outside. And there were some times where my emotions were just so built up, I didn’t know what to do. The only way that I could get instant gratification was through an immediate release on myself.”

TMZ has more:

During the interview, Lovato also says she takes “100 percent, full responsibility” for attacking her back-up dancer Alex Welch last year … saying, “I feel horrible, [She] was my friend.”

Lovato says she hopes her story can “open up the eyes of so many young girls” who are fighting the same issues.

Kudos to her for opening up about her story!

Disney star Demi Lovato took to her official Twitter account earlier to give her fans a message about texting while driving.

She tweeted the above photo, along with the message, “FYI – this is how dumb you look when you are texting while driving…. Hahaha #donttextndrive”.

She then added, “P.s. I was NOT driving when I took this! :p”

Be safe everyone!

Disney starlet Demi Lovato entered rehab for the eating disorder she was suffering from after her parents staged an intervention.

She said, “I basically had a nervous breakdown. I was really bad off. My parents and manager pulled me aside and said, ‘You need to get some help.’ It was an intervention. I wanted freedom from the inner demons. I wanted to start my life over.”

She says that young people should always confide in their close friends for help in dealing with their issues. She said, “If you going through that dark period, go to your family and closest friends. Don’t put yourself in danger. It’s very crucial that you get your feelings out – but don’t ever inflict harm on your body because your body is so sacred.”

She added, “I wish I could tell every young girl with an eating disorder, or who has harmed herself in any way, that she’s worthy of life and that her life has meaning. You can overcome and get through anything.”

In the latest issue of Seventeen magazine, Disney star Demi Lovato opens up about eating disorders, cutting and having confidence in herself.

Check out the interview, below:

17: What’s your message to teenage girls?

Demi Lovato: If you are going through that dark period, go to your family and closest friends. Don’t put yourself in danger. It’s very crucial that you get your feelings out — but don’t ever inflict harm on your own body because your body is so sacred. I wish I could tell every young girl with an eating disorder, or who has harmed herself in any way, that she’s worthy of life and that her life has meaning. You can overcome and get through anything.

17: Have there been times recently when you feel like it could be so tempting to go
back to your old dangerous habits, like eating disorders?

DL: Yes, there have been times when I definitely have been tempted to get rid of my dinner. But I will deal with it for the rest of my life because it’s a life-long disease. I don’t think there’s going to be a day when I don’t think about food or my body, but I’m living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it.

17: How do you keep yourself in a safe place?

DL: I don’t let anyone’s insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that’s all that matters to me. And it’s okay to be selfish like that sometimes, when it comes to your well-being. Do what makes you happy, and don’t care what others think.

17:How do you define your personality now that you’re out of treatment?

DL: I don’t really define it by anything. I live my life every day, and if I feel like wearing combat boots one day and shoes the next, I will. I allow myself a lot of freedom and I’m very peaceful now. I have come to realize that just making yourself happy is most important. Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That’s my life motto.

We’re still pulling for you, Demi! Stay strong!

Rehabbed Disney starlet Demi Lovato is going to be opening up to Good Morning America and 20/20 in a weekand a half in her first post-rehab interview.

Since entering rehab, she has stayed out of the spotlight, only emerging once in an online video to thank fans for their support. Now, she’s ready to speak out about her troubles and what led her to rehab in the first place.

She has already recorded the interview session with ABC’s Robin Roberts and it’s set to air on Good Morning America and 20/20 in about a week and a half. Robin has commented that she was “moved by her honesty” and that Demi is “very open, wonderful”, adding that “she looks great and is very happy.”

Good for her. We do love a success story!

Disney starlets Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato have reunited!

Selena uploaded the above photo to her Plixi account last night, showing the two BFFs looking happy. Good for them, they’re looking great!

I’m sure that all of their fans are excited for the return of Delena!

I’m glad that Selena waited for Demi to be healthy so they could start being super friendly again.

What is Disney starlet Demi Lovato working on? That’s what inquiring minds want to know!

On Tuesday, she tweeted this message to her fans, “First day back to working.. I can’t wait to share with you guys what I’m doing today.. It’s a big day for me.. So excited! I love you all!!!”

Are you excited to find out whatever it is that she’s doing??? We’re curious, aren’t you???

Rehabbed Disney starlet Demi Lovato has gone to DisneyLand — and she tweeted about the experience!

She said, “Went to Disneyland today….. That…. really happened.”

Since, she’s tweeted about her inspiration, adding, “Alexz Johnson is trending.. Pretty cool. She’s the reason I picked up the guitar and started writing songs.”

I hope that she can get her life back on track now!

Disney star Demi Lovato has come a long way since checking herself into rehab last year. She has already made a video thanking fans for all of their support and showing off her new tattoos as a tribute to all who stood behind her.

Now, she’s taking things a step further. While it was rumored recently that Demi donated $50 million to the cause in the Japan earthquake and tsunami disaster, we have learned that she has actually sent a check for a cool million to the cause. Good for her!

She wrote out a personal check to aid in the relief efforts for those affected by the gigantic earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan. She recently posed for photos holding a Japanese flag with the words “Please Help” on it.

I love it when celebrities are doing good deeds! Now if someone could eradicate Rebecca Black’s song from the internet, we’d be good to go. Any takers?

Disney starlet Demi Lovato recently got the words “stay” and “strong” tattooed on her wrists and now she has revealed the motivation behind the new ink!

Of the inspiration for her new tattoos, she said, “The journey that I went through and the support of my fans was so meaningful to me that I wanted to thank my fans in a way that I know can never be forgotten. So I went ahead and I got a little heart tattoo on my wrist.”

She went on to reveal, “Together they say, ‘Stay Strong’, but this one has a heart. It’s something that my fans were actually drawing on their wrists while I was still in treatment. Some people even got tattoos of it, so I wanted to show you guys that I will never forget the support that you guys gave me. I will look at it every day and remember you guys and be completely thankful for you.”

After being off of Twitter since October 29, 2010, Disney starlet Demi Lovato has returned to the social networking service!

Welcome back, Demi!

Her Twitter name is still the same, @DDLovato.

She tweeted this just an hour ago:

Guess who’s baaaaaaaack…!!!!!!!

I love you guys SO MUCH… this support is UNBELIEVABLE!! I’m tearing up I’m so thankful…

Are you excited that she’s back on Twitter? What do you have to say to Demi??? Let us know in the comments!

Disney starlet Demi Lovato has plenty of reasons to “Stay Strong” — and now she has the slogan tattooed on her wrists.

On one wrist, she has “stay”, while on the other, is, “strong”. Demi recently checked herself out of rehab for “physical and emotional issues”, so that could be a reminder of how she overcame that tough time in her life.

However, there have been a lot of reports over the years suggesting that Demi was/is a cutter, so this could be a reminder for her to rise above that.

What do you think of Demi’s new ink? Let us know in the comments!

Disney starlet Demi Lovato took the time to thank fans for their support in her first post-rehab video for Cambio!

She said that she wouldn’t “be here if it weren’t for the support that you’ve given me along the way”. She revealed that she read all of the messages wishing her well on Twitter, the trending topics on the social networking site and all of her fan mail.

She said, “Your support is what got me through this. So I couldn’t be more thankful for everything that you guys sent me.”

She went on to reveal that she went through a dark time and wants to raise awareness for the issues that she knows other people her age are going through.

Demi Lovato will be opening up for the first time to fans since she checked herself into rehab for “physical and emotional issues” last year!

Cambio has the scoop:

Demi Lovato will be posting a special video message to all her fans this MONDAY on Cambio.com. This will be the first time since leaving treatment that Demi will speak directly to her fans to thank them for their support. Demi is excited to be getting back to work and reuniting with her fans around the world.

I wonder if she’s going to address the resurfacing reports that she’s dating Wilmer Valderrama? Or perhaps she’s going to talk abut her tour?

What do you think? Are you excited for Demi to make her comeback???

According to rumors, Disney starlet Demi Lovato was hooking up with much older actor Wilmer Valderrama. But, alas, Wilmer says that he’s a single guy!

Reportedly, before Demi checked into rehab — and afterward, she was hanging out with Wilmer. This led to speculation that they were hooking up. Today in Beverly Hills, Wilmer denied dating anyone.

A source on the scene said, “People kept asking him if he had a girlfriend and he said ‘no’ and that he’s single.”

His former co-star Laura Prepon also echoed that sentiment, saying, “The last time I saw him, which was recently, he was single.”

And there you have it! Besides, wouldn’t it be creepy if they were dating? He’s so much older than she is.

The rumor mill is starting reports that Disney starlet Demi Lovato is fresh out of rehab and has already started partying and drinking!

According to reports, “Demi had a little party at her house the other night with her sister Dallas and friends, and everyone was drinking and having a good time.”

Demi’s rep has issued a denial on the reports saying that they are “completely untrue”.

Jeez, give it a rest people, she just got out of rehab and already people want to take her down. For shame, a girl can’t catch a break, can she???
