Demi Lovato talks getting mad at God on Twitter

It looks like Kanye West has got some Twitter competition in the unloading of late-night thoughts.

Demi Lovato took to the micro-blogging site last night to discuss God, tough stuff, and overcoming obstacles.

The same week excerpts from her Seventeen interview, where she discussed her troubled past and her bright hopes for the future, were released, it sounds like 2012 is already throwing her a curveball.

The whole thing kicked off when Lovato tweeted, “Sometimes it seems like God just keeps throwing crap my way and I get SO angry with him… But there’s never a doubt in my mind He’s gonna pull me through it all. I know you’re there God. But umm… Really dude? He never fails to show me He’s by my side though. Even in the tough times. #Godstuff”

Potential song lyrics for her Unbroken follow up? Perhaps. But more likely the nineteen-year-old was just venting. She followed up retweeting some thoughts from her followers, including, “Satan throws crap your way but God gets you through to make you a stronger/wiser person. #lifelessons” READ FULL STORY »

Demi Lovato talks drug use and Miley Cyrus in new interview

Demi Lovato is ringing in the New Year by opening up to Seventeen about her troubled past and her bright hopes for 2012.

The “Skyscraper” singer tells the magazine, “I’m not going to lie, I was self-medicating. I was doing things like drinking and using [drugs], like a lot of teens do to numb their pain.”

I’ll admit, I did a double-take reading over the quotes and realizing they were coming from a Disney-bred star in a teen mag, not words from a revealing Vanity Fair interview with an aging rocker.

Kudos to Lovato for being honest. It’s no secret she was in a rough place for a while: She checked into a treatment center last winter, after a tumultuous few months that played out in public, and in January 2011 acknowledged that she had completed treatment for “undisclosed emotional and physical issues.” She later revealed she was battling anorexia, bulimia, and bipolar disorder.

She’s had quite the comeback, however, releasing her third album Unbroken this past September, which landed her a Top 10 debut (“Skyscraper”), her first. She also recently sang the National Anthem at the World Series and (rightly) took on her former network over insensitive eating-disorder jokes. READ FULL STORY »

Demi Lovato's hair makes a run for it in concert: Watch the video here

The weave: For fairytale princesses, it’s perfect. For everyone else, (even you, pop stars) it’s an accident waiting to happen.

Demi Lovato was performing over the weekend when she had a little situation involving some dancing, some costumes and some runaway extensions. Namely, Ms. Lovato went one hair toss too far, and her weave came tumbling down.

Girl worked it like a pro, though — she doesn’t even blink. It takes some serious attitude to have something that was just on your head now clinging desperately to your sparkly stage blazer and just keep trucking, but she struts it out and finishes the number like a boss.

Check out the blurry video below: (The hair horror begins around :45) READ FULL STORY »

Latin Grammys: Calle 13 cleans up, Demi Lovato gets revealing

Last night in Las Vegas, the Latino music community gathered together at the Mandalay Bay Events Center for the 12th annual Latin Grammy Awards. Though the word “Grammys” is in there, the Latin Grammys tends to be a way looser show than its counterpart.

They’re a lot more diverse too: The big winners during last night’s show were Puerto Rican hip-hop collective Calle 13, who walked away with nine prizes (out of 10 total nominations) tied to their fourth album Entren Los Que Quieran. In fact, the only thing that kept them from scoring a clean sweep on their nominations was the fact that they were nominated twice in the same category.

The rest of the show, which aired on Univision and almost certainly clobbered that truly atrocious episode of The Office in the ratings, was a healthy mix of crossover performers and acts like Calle 13 who seem one big English-language single away from a massive break.

Shakira took home two awards (for Person of the Year and for Best Female Pop Album) and also performed a trio of tunes in the evening’s liveliest performances. Pitbull and Marc Anthony re-created their hit “Rain Over Me,” with Pit dropping some of the evening’s few English verses on stage.

However, the evening’s most eye-popping performance might have belonged to Demi Lovato. While the newly red-haired pop star did actually sing on stage, she did most of her head-turning on the red carpet, where she wore a pantsuit the completely redefined the idea of a plunging neckline. That’s an awful lot of cleavage, even for Las Vegas.

Check out the full list of nominees (with the winners in bold italics) after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

Demi Lovato can singggg.

Last night before Game 5 of the 2011 World Series at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, the 19-year-old hit a home run with her rendition of the National Anthem.

Looking happy and healthy in a red Texas T-shirt and matching red all-American lips, the raspy-voiced popstar played to her strengths,  giving a restrained, ballad-esque performance before the big finish. Cue the fireworks: READ FULL STORY »

Demi Lovato covers Lil Wayne's 'How to Love' in NYC: Watch it here

When she’s not skyscraping, Demi Lovato is dealing with lower-altitude issues like, for instance, How to Love.

Saturday night found the newly revitalized teen star in a corner tryna put it together (or rather, onstage at Manhattan’s Hammerstein Ballroom) by turning Weezy’s slow-jam lullaby into a first-person confessional/uplift anthem.

“I am going to cover a song right now,” she told the crowd. “It’s by a rap artist, not a rap song, and it’s on the radio right now. Do you guys know what it is?” You do, Music Mixer! Because we just told you. But watch it here, after the jump:

Demi Lovato talks her addiction and recovery in new video

Tags:

Demi Lovato, who was checked into a treatment center last year for issues involving bulimia and self-cutting, has opened up about her recovery process in a open letter to fans posted on her YouTube page. Rather than embracing the general pop-star tactic of publicly blaming everything on “exhaustion” or “bad tuna,” Lovato has been surprisingly open about her struggles, and her upcoming album, Unbroken, also addresses these issues, as well as the issue of partying all night long. Watch the emotional clip below. READ FULL STORY »

Demi Lovato lets loose on 'All Night Long' with Missy Elliott and Timbaland

Dreams do come true! After a bit of a Youtube campaign, hit-making producer Timbaland can now say he’s worked with pop stars as varied as Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, and now… Demi Lovato.

At the top of the year, a tired Timbo posted a video praising the 19-year-old singer’s vocals and even played a song he crafted especially for her. Though it’s not the ballad he cued back then, his cut with her does sound like a winner.

Featuring hip-hop femme-C Missy Elliott, “All Night Long” is a lustful upbeat banger. In true Timbaland fashion, it’s a busy track with knocking bass, bouncing keys and synths stepping all over the hook.

“Don’t make plans/ Come on with me/ Let’s stay up all night long,” Lovato orders over it. You can listen to the track here.

What do you think of the Lovato-Missy-Timbo collab? Looking forward to her album, Unbroken (out Sept. 20)? Let us know.

Demi Lovato sings 'Skyscraper' live at VH1's Do Something Awards -- VIDEO

Demi Lovato performed her new single, “Skyscraper,” live for the first time on Vh1′s Do Something Awards, which aired last night.

I remember seeing Lovato sing “Here We Go Again” on The View two years ago, and it was clear she was having some vocal issues. We all know why now. But I’m happy to say that, except for a slightly shaky start, her pipes were in fine form during her spirit and stage-lifting performance of “Skyscraper.”

Check out the belty performance below: READ FULL STORY »

Demi Lovato refuses to be torn down in new 'Skyscraper' video

Demi Lovato’s new single “Skyscraper,” which has been number one on iTunes since she released it on Tuesday, now has a video to go along with it.

The clip features Lovato, clad in a white dress, standing in the desert and emotionally belting out the track, while subtle pulses depict blood rising from the ground, a black shroud drifting in the breeze, and bare feet stepping on broken glass.

There are no electric guitars or goofy story lines here—just simple, raw passion. Gaga, take note: READ FULL STORY »
