I realize it is already MLK Jr. Day and thus the new year is already 16 days begun, but remember, it is never too late for a new start.
January = awards shows!
That's right, it is that time of the year where celebrities congregate in one place thus forcing us normal looking people into a spiral of diminishing self-esteem. On the bright side, it is also that awkward time of the year when you learn who really is a good/bad actor/actress based on the reaction to winning and/or losing an award. That was a lot of back slashes, my apologies.
To begin this wonderful season of designer dresses, fake smiles, and horrid diets, check out this slideshow of Tweets from celebs at the 2012 Golden Globes last night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Rest assured, it is actually filled with more star-struck moments, real smiles, and photo bombs than that other depressing stuff.
Now, have you ever wondered what one does after winning a People's Choice Award?
The obvious answer might be, party it up at the after-parties! However, for Nina Dobrev, the PCA winner for Favorite TV Drama Actress for her role in The Vampire Diaries, the answer is grab a burger on the way out of town to get back to work. Poor girl had to be back in Georgia for filming and didn't even have time to change before hopping on a plane out of Los Angeles.
Notice how her dress matches the new layout of the website, nice!
As for Demi Lovato, my favorite little pop artist, she headed to Vegas the next morning where she then took a helicopter to the Grand Canyon.
It was a "so random" day for her (get it, So Random! hahaha, I crack myself up).
The best news from the People's Choice Awards is that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II walked away a big winner! More on Harry Potter and Daniel Radcliffe coming soon :)
It has been a while since I posted on someone not related to Harry Potter or my teenage dreams. I apologize for the lack of diversity, but I like what I like and I'm not ashamed of that.
But...even I like a break from the norm every so often, and so I give you a Demi Lovato update. I suppose technically this is predictable since I do have quite an archive on Demi Lovato posts.
Oh well, AT LEAST I'M POSTING!
Demi tweeted the above photo on Friday with the caption: "Favorite thing about traveling... Goofy souvenirs :D "
I love to see how great she is doing. She seems so happy and young, just before the picture she tweeted about eating a blue ring pop and susbsequently discovering herself to have a blue month and toungue saying, "Man this is embarrassing." I love that down-to-earth, eaveryday girl vibe she emits. And she is just so stickin' beautiful.
Demi has been pretty busy promoting her new album, Unbroken, and tickets to her mini tour A Special Night with Demi Lovato went on sale Friday. Girlfriend has come a long way since her emotional crash last October on tour with the JoBros. Love to see the growth and strength.
Don't forget to listen to the emotional first single, Skyscraper.
Actually I have no idea. Does anyone watch MTV for the music anymore? The last time I checked the channel was mostly comprised of lame reality shows. How sad to see that MTV fell into the same fate as it's sister network, VH1. I use to love I Love The .
Regardless of the reality show to music video ratio, apparently MTV still thinks it is enough invested in the music industry to host a music video award. Truthfully, I think an MTV Reality Show Awards show is more appropriate, but whatevs.
So anyways, here is what you should know about what went down tonight.
1) Selena Gomez hosted the pre-show and had an awkward (or adorable, you decide) interview with BF Justin Bieber that was sealed with a kiss for the whole world to see
O-M-G. Did he really just say "my snake's name is Johnson"? So many things wrong with that statement coming from a 17-year old in an interview with his girlfriend!!!
And to make it more awkward/inappropriate: @ddlovato: @biebcyrusx: @justinbieber showing @ddlovato his SNAKE ! HAHAHA LMAO. 30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqo422d…” @justinbieber you're crazy!!!!
2) Beyonce showed off her pregnant self. Yes, that is right, the future ruler of all music is currently brewing in Beyonce's belly.
3) Kanye and Jay-Z performed, and according to Victoria Justice:
@VictoriaJustice: HAHA. The funniest & most bizarre thing just happened during the Jay-Z & Kanye performance. I hope they show it, u guys have to watch.
That tweet was preceded by:
@VictoriaJustice Omg guys!!! Jessie J just performed "Price Tag" & I saw someone FALL off the top balcony behind her!! I'm freaking out. I hope they're OK!
Really? You think you see someone fall from the top balcony and you think, "I must tweet this to let my fans know." Sounds like a fabulous evening.
4) Demi Lovato looked all kinds of confident in a tight silver dress and big smile. Unfortunately, haters gotta hate. In response to some comments about her weight, Demi took to Twitter (at the show) to tell them off
@ddlovato: I've gained weight. Get over it. That's what happens when you get out of treatment for AN EATING DISORDER :) #UNBROKEN #920
I like the placement of the :) after the all caps statement, it really tells us that she is mad, but she is not gonna let those haters rain on her parade.
And then fellow Joe Jonas ex-gf, Ashley Greene, tweeted right back to Demi
@ddlovato: @AshleyMGreene this is why you're my friend.. Thank you girl.
proper your/you're usage: Demi-1, Ashley-0
If J. Jonas-exes can make peace, then surely the rest of the world is not far behind. Demi continued to confront the bullies
@ddlovato: Guess what, I'm healthy and happy, and if you're hating on my weight you obviously aren't. :) #UNBROKEN
I love that Demi is not afraid to address the ridiculous comments publicly, especially because if media outlets are the ones commenting on her weight than chances are many young girls are going to hear that criticism and be fed these insane and unrealistic ideas about how women should look. Demi looks beautiful, so just get over it hyper-critical perfectionists who don't know what it looks like to be healthy and happy, and who criticize others in an attempt to hide their own insecurities. Team Demi!
And, just because, let's look at what Casper has to say about Demi
@DevonESawa Demi Lovato looks like a beautiful young lady. http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2 Via @cadlymack
Well, friends, that about sums it up for you. If you didn't catch the show, don't worry I didn't either. But, now you can totally contribute to conversation about the event and pretend like you did.
Sheesh, no one told me it'd been 12 days since I last posted. I promise it is not because I haven't thought about posting. I have thought so many times about posting, and there have been some pretty great things I was gonna post about too. However, words without action are just lazy.
But here is something quick because my computer battery is about to die and I want to post something now before I let another 12 days go by unposted.
Demi Lovato is about to celebrate her 19th birthday, and what a year it has been. From Joe Jonas to a treatment center to a new album, she has kind of had an eventful 18th year. Despite it all, one thing that has always been evident is that she does not want drama (ok, I realize the whole punching her friend in the face was kind of dramatic, but besides that). Demi has tried to keep things simple, unlike some stars, Demi never starts drama regarding exes or friends who have done her wrong. She keeps it civil, and I think that shows she has class.
Recently Demi performed her hit single Skyscraper for the first time at the Do Something Awards, and even took home a couple awards herself. She and ex-Joe Jonas shared the win for "Do Something Song" for their Disney duet, Make A Wave. Keeping it all professional and drama-free, the two shared congratulations last night over Twitter.
Now, I gotta admit I've been a hater of Joe Jonas for at least a year (maybe two). I mean, boy is a playa. When Taylor Swift told us how Joe broke her heart while he was giving his heart to Camilla Belle, and then Joe Jonas broke up with Demi and hooked up with Ashley Greene! Seriously, boy, you have no class.
Well, turns out that this recent exchange of friendly tweets coupled with the fact that Camilla broke Joe's heart and now the playa is no longer living with Ashley Greene, I may be warming up to the idea of him being not a total jerk.
Ok, if that Selena/Demi picture didn't make you smile, then I bet this next picture will!
Neil Patrick Harris posted the above image to Twitter on Sunday with the following caption:
Relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. My heart is full of love
Now my heart is full of love <3
Have I mentioned that NPH and David Burtka are, in my opinion, the greatest looking couple. Two attractive men that I will never have a chance with...le sigh.
Back to the photo! If you are not smiling right now, you obvi have no heart and thus there is no way to fill it with love. My advice, find a yellow brick road and start searching for a wizard.
Harry Potter may or may not be the wizard you need.
Sad news to my fellow Disney Channel junkies, Demi Lovato has offically left Sonny With A Chance.
I know, you are thinking, "NO!!!! This must be some nasty gossip Demi haters are spreading. Those jerks always gotta be so mean."
Unfortunately, it is with sorrow that I inform you Demi Lovato herself has announced the departure. Today on Twitter Demi had the following to say about Sonny.
Sonny was a chapter in my life I will be forever grateful for.. Thank you all for watching.. Can't wait to see the new format for So Random!
In an interview with People Magazine, Demi states that she doesn't think returning to the show would be beneficial to her recovering, adding that "being in front of a camera would make me nervous." How can I be mad at her when she is totally looking to protect herself. Look at her acting all mature and grown-up. Cheers to her for being able to make that difficult decision.
In good news, Demi will continue to work on her music and has plans to tour later this year.
So...Miley is wrapped with Hannah Montana, Selena is finishing the final season of Wizards of Waverly Place, and Demi is now through with Sonny With A Chance. Disney is all out of Tween Queens, do we have any contenders to replace them?
It is so refreshing to see someone seek help before they fall apart in a public way.
Zeta Jones has been under a lot of stress recently; understandably so since her husband, Michael Douglas, was diagnosed with stage-IV throat cancer last year. Douglas is now tumor free after months of radiation and chemotherapy. However, the battle with cancer is a grueling journey that affects the patient as well as the family and friends. Zeta-Jones has committed to a short stay at a facility to get back to health before beginning work on a new project.
It takes a great deal to admit that you need help, and I totally admire her boldness.
I'm all about highlighting the positive role models. As Hannah Montana would say, "everyone makes mistakes, eveyone has those days." No one is without flaw, but if you carry yourself with poise and confidence even in your darkest hours you can still come out looking like a champion.
Here is to hoping that Catherine Zeta-Jones comes out an even more beautiful and graceful woman than before.
Seriously, I feel like justjaredjr right now with all this Disney star related news.
Demi Lovato has some devoted and loving fans. On March 10 Demi hacked her sister Dallas' twitter to say hi to fans and to make them laugh with some cropped photos of her face on various bodies.
To show Demi that they love her, this morning her fans had YouAreBeautifulDemi trending on Twitter. The Camp Rock 2 News Twitter (@CR2News) posted several old images of Demi smiling and having fun with family and friends, and a fan made video We Believe In Demi has been circulating.
Here is what the video, posted by 4everfanjonas, description says about the video:
Project #1
so @CR2News had this idea and told me. So as you may know, Demi hasn't always been very confident about herself and that's why she wrote Believe In Me.
So @Rooociioo and @CR2News made this video to show her that WE do believe in her.
This video will be made of pictures of her fans, her friends and family.
Seriously, those are some fabulous fans. And the song, LOVE it. I wish I had fans like that.
After leaving rehab in January, Demi is for the first time talking about her time in rehab and her plans for the future.
Demi took to Cambio News to post her first video to fans thanking them for all the support and encouragement during a difficult time. The just over 1 minute video clip features Demi at home looking cheerful and upbeat. She doesn't give any specific details on what issues she faced that sent her to rehab, simply calling them issues that girls of all ages are dealing with; and she doesn't say what work is in store for her, but says she is returning to work and is excited to share the work with fans.
It's nice to see her smiling again, and I look forward to seeing what's next for her. Watch the video below.
Back in January Aaron Carter entered a rehab facility for "spiritual" reasons. I won't knock him for rehab, I think it's a bold step for someone to seek help. I will, however, laugh uncontrollably at the idea of him and Demi Lovato. And then, I will cry a little when I remember that 10 years ago I would have given anything to be with him. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy enough these days to read his tweets on occasion and to hum his songs more often than I care to admit, but after the whole Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan scandal I was put off by his bad-boy ways. It is for this reason that I do not approve of Daaron.
Fret not, for Daaron is but a young man's fantasy. Aaron Carter recently took to his Twitter account to announce his current interest in recent rehab-graduate, Demi Lovato, describing her as "freaking smoking hott!!." Damn, two -t's and two -!, this boy is serrious!!He's willing to wait quite some time for her to come around, too. "Don't think my interest with Demi Lovato is gonna end anytime soon! I'm patient (definition) capable of accepting delay with equanimity." That's good, especially since he tweeted just two days ago that he wanted to remain single for a while.
What do you think of an Aaron and Demi match?
To be fair, Demi did date Trace Cyrus, so maybe Aaron has a shot. I'm not sure anyone can tame a player, except the player himself, but I'll let Aaron go ahead and dream. We are all entitled to our dreams. After all, I wouldn't want anyone to tell me I can't be with Lee Pace.
Demi Lovato has ended her stay in rehab and was spotted out and about in Santa Monica. No official statement has been made regarding her plans post-rehab. I for one love Sonny With A Chance, so I hope returning for season three is in her plans. How is that show even going to make it with the title star, Sonny?
She has been in rehab since late-October 2010 when some event on tour (rumor has it, a fight) sent Demi packing her bags mid-tour. Demi has kept quiet since she checked-in, only taking to facebook once to thank fans for her People's Choice Award: "I wish to thank all the friends and fans who voted for me for the People's Choice Awards and the Hot Hits Hottest Teen Stars of 2010. I want to make sure my fans know how thankful I am for all their love, support and prayers during this difficult time. Thank you for standing beside me through it all."
It breaks my heart that she was checking into rehab at 18 years of age, but hopefully she is coming out a stronger individual. I'm looking forward to new music, shows, and movies. She presents herself as very appreciative, good-humored, and mature. Everyone makes mistakes, but how they handle those mistakes is really what counts. I just hope that she continues to set a good-example to her young fans.
