Demi Lovato: Favorite TV Guest Star!

Demi Lovato may still be at a treatment facility, but fans have not forgotten her!

The actress won the award for Favorite TV Guest Star at the People's Choice Awards last night (January 5) for her stint on "Grey's Anatomy" last spring.

Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam also won for Favorite Family TV Movie.

Congrats, Demi! Keep getting better!

Footage from Demi's Day Out

As previously reported, Demi Lovato was able to leave rehab for a few hours on Christmas day to spend time with her family. Naturally, the paparazzi was there to capture Demi's first public sighting in almost two months.

Demi and her family went to see a movie and then she returned to rehab shortly after. We're glad she was able to see her family! Now we can only hope for a speedy recovery.

Demi Spent Holidays with Family

Contrary to previous reports, Demi Lovato did not spend Christmas in the treatment center at which she's been staying since November 1. The actress/singer was able to leave the facility to spend the holiday with her family. She returned to the center shortly after.

It's good to hear that she was able to spend time with her family but we're glad she is going back to continue treatment.

Demi Settles with Dancer

Demi Lovato and back-up dancer Alex Welch have reached a financial settlement of an undisclosed amount following an altercation that allegedly took place in October.

If you don't remember, Demi attacked Alex while boarding a plane during the Camp Rock tour because she was convinced Alex told tour managers about her bad behavior. The fight was the straw that broke the camels back and Demi was soon committed to a rehabilitation center for physical and emotional issues.

Alex's lawyer Donald Karpel released a statement saying, "The parties are satisfied and the dispute has been resolved amicably and completely."

Good to hear that Demi can put this mess behind her and focus on getting better!

Demi Spending Holidays in Rehab

It looks like Demi Lovato will be spending both Christmas and New Year's at the undisclosed rehab center that she's been in since early November.

While that sucks, the most important thing is that she is continuing to receive help, so good for her!

Quote of the Day

"When I was younger, being ‘best friends’ was very commercial. It’s all about best friend necklaces and you both think that you have to be exactly the same. Eventually you realize, ‘Oh, I’m my own person. I am different. We actually have nothing in common."

- Selena Gomez to Sugar magazine on best friends (and possibly Demi Lovato?)

Demi Close to Settlment With Dancer

It looks like the legal battles between Demi Lovato and Alex Welch, the back-up dancer Demi punched in the face, will end soon!

Reps from both parties have released statements regarding the negotiations following Alex's announcement that she had yet to receive an apology from Demi, who is still currently in treatment.

Alex's attorney Donald Karpel announced, "Alex is seeking a settlement, an apology from Demi and a donation made to a charity of her choice."

Jesse Derris, Demi's rep, stated, "Demi’s attorneys have had an initial discussion with Mr. Karpel. They are exploring the possibility of an amicable resolution of this matter. We do not plan on making further public comments during this process."

We hope this is all over soon. How is Demi supposed to have a successful recovery when she is hounded with this legal junk?

Demi Has Yet to Apologize to Back-up Dancer

In case you've forgotten, Demi Lovato is still receiving treatment at a facility for what her reps are calling "emotional and physical issues." The definitive moment that led to Demi's admittance to the facility was when she punched her back-up dancer Alex Welch in the face after suspecting that Alex had told tour managers about Demi's naughty behavior the night before.

Alex said that Demi had "gotten in trouble" for her behavior the night before while on the Jonas Brothers world tour and suspected that one of the dancers told on her. She "pulled the dancers in a room and threatened: 'If I find out who told on me ...'"

Alex then claims that she had no further contact with Demi until the next day while they were on the JoBros' plane. "And [Demi] walks up and punches me and literally walked away and got in her seat," she said.

"To this day, I haven't gotten an apology. I've heard nothing," Alex tells People magazine. "That's sad if you think that person is your friend."

A source close to Demi is defending the star, explaining, "Demi hasn't been able to call Alex because she is sequestered in treatment, but multiple efforts have been made to reach out to her."

Well that's not good enough for Alex. She has already hired attorney Donald Karpel, who announced, "We have contacted the Lovato camp and we are waiting for a response. If we don't hear back, we will pursue litigation."

Come on, people! Demi is in TREATMENT! She is clearly unwell and wasn't in her right mind when she attacked Alex. Can't you just at least wait for her to finish treatment before getting lawyers involved?

Demi Releases Thanksgiving Day Message to Fans

Over this past weekend, Demi Lovato released a special Thanksgiving Day message to her fan club, saying that she is "very thankful" for her fans and their support.

The video was pre-recorded from a few weeks ago and was not released until this weekend. It was not recorded while Demi was in treatment.

Quote Of The Day

"She's doing well. She's in good spirits. I didn't want to bother her too much because I want her to get her rest. I know she's been overworked for a long time. I'm hoping she stays strong and gets through it."

- Sterling Knight on Demi Lovato

Demi NOT Leaving Treatment for Thanksgiving

Although rumors surfaced saying that Demi Lovato was hoping to leave her treatment facility in order to spend Thanksgiving with her family, her reps insist that it isn't true. A rep stated:

Recent reports stating that Demi Lovato will be out of treatment by Thanksgiving are false. While she would of course love to be home for the holidays, she remains committed first and foremost to her treatment. Demi has made tremendous progress to date, but understands that she has more work to do. Unfortunately, the news outlet that reported this story originally failed to call us for comment or to fact check the story before it was printed.

We hope you're doing well, Demi!

Demi Lovato Hoping to Leave Center Before Thanksgiving

It looks like Demi Lovato is itching to leave her treatment center.

"She doesn't want to be in the center for Thanksgiving and wants to go home," reveals a source. What's more, Demi plans to watch Miley Cyrus' performance on the American Music Awards when it airs on TV this Sunday. (Really? Is watching Miley slut it up on stage really the best way to recover one's health?)

A Disney Channel insider explains that while Demi hopes to spend this holiday season at home, she won't be returning to work until after the New Year. While Disney is hoping that she will return to work on "Sonny With a Chance" in the early months of 2011, they do not want to rush her.

Demi's plans for a third album have also been delayed even though the troubled pop star began recording new songs while on tour.

"They're still committed to her," the source continues. "No one is abandoning her. But she is holding off on her music for a bit. There are a lot of people who never heard of Demi Lovato before this," the insider added, "and if she can get through this, she will come back stronger and bigger than ever."

"Sonny With a Chance" to Continue Without Demi

Disney must know something we don't, because even though "Sonny With a Chance" isn't scheduled to continue production until January, the show is reworking itself and will no longer include Demi Lovato.

Could this mean that Demi will still be in treatment two months from now?!

"Sonny" writers are refocusing the series on the "So Random!" sketches, musical performances, and digital shorts. A slew of guest stars will also be included. Sounds like a kid version of "Saturday Night Live"!

A Disney Channel spokeswoman explained, "This allows her the time she needs to get well, without distraction or pressure. Again, we extend our ongoing support to Demi and her family as she works to overcome personal issues."

While the show has successfully produced two "So Random!" specials before (one that aired on October 17 and another that is scheduled for later this month), can it really last without Demi's involvement for long?

Looks like we'll have to wait and see.

New Details on Demi and Joe's Break-up and Demi's Airport Outburst!

Wow, the secrets about Demi Lovato just keep spilling out as the actress/singer continues to seek professional help at a treatment center at an undisclosed location.

A source told People magazine that while Demi was dating Joe Jonas, 21 at the time, she "was a true teenager in love." But apparently "Demi’s attitude and behavior were out of control," forcing Joe to end the relationship. Afterward, Demi became"a mess" and "tortured."

And what about that fight she had with a female dancer from her Camp Rock tour at an airport that allegedly convinced Demi she needed help? Another tour member said that the dancer, Alex Welch, tattled on Demi for her partying ways. The tour member explains, "Demi walked onto the plane, did not look at the girl, then suddenly punched her in the face and threatened her with a slew of expletives.

"Demi’s manager asked her, 'Are you in control at all?' She said, 'Sorry, I just lost it.'"

Apparently, Demi's other struggles, including cutting, were no secret while on tour and she was getting help.

Well it clearly wasn't enough help. We're truly disheartened by these details. Demi has clearly lost her way and we hope she is able to find her own again soon.

Demi's Dad Won't Shut Up

Unbelievable. Patrick Lovato is like the new Michael Lohan. Won't he just shut up so he doesn't make his daughter's life any more difficult?

Patrick is now alleging that Demi's breakdown might have something to do with the death of her friend (and possible boyfriend) David Osborn. He explains:

Demi’s doing great, she’s such a strong girl. She told me she’s getting better. She was really heartbroken. She was really in love with the guy. Bless her heart. She’s always been an honest person, what can I say? All I’ve got here is my dog Daytona but I’ve offered to let Demi come and stay here any time she wants to.

Whether this is true or not, we think it's despicable that Patrick should be exploiting his daughter's troubles to get attention. It's just such a shame and we wish Demi could recover without her father speaking the press.

Demi's Reps Deny Drug Use Reports

Yesterday there were some explosive new details regarding Demi Lovato and why she really entered a treatment facility. Sources were claiming that the actress was being treated for excessive drinking and cocaine use and that her dependency on these drugs became stronger following her break-up from Joe Jonas.

Well, Demi's reps are denying those rumors and have released the following statement:

Demi Lovato is not in treatment for drug or alcohol addiction. As we have said since she entered treatment last week, Demi decided to seek help for emotional and physical issues she has battled throughout her life."

She has taken this step in order to get her life in order. While we know many are interested in Demi and her life, we do ask for a modicum of privacy during this difficult time.

Very well. But they didn't deny the existence of a video filmed last December that shows Demi partying hard and doing lines of cocaine!

Whatever the reasons for Demi's treatment, we hope she gets better soon!

BREAKING! Explosive New Details on Demi's Situation!

Cocaine use? Drinking? Pregnancy? 30-year-old boyfriend?!

Those are the the hot topics of the day surrounding Demi Lovato, who is still receiving treatment for unknown "emotional and physical issues" at an undisclosed location.

Remember the back-up dancer that Demi got into an altercation with at an airport? Originally, sources said that it was then that Demi realized she needed to get help. But that's not so, according to another source.

A Texas college student alleges that he spent time partying with the Disney star, then 17, last December and that she was drinking heavily and even snorted cocaine. Her use of the substances increased following her break-up from Joe Jonas, according to another source. And when her back-up dancer ratted her out to her parents, Demi was furious and attacked her.

What's worse is that a video of Demi at this party is being shopped around to various news outlets!!

If this hits the internet, it can truly destroy her career.

In other Demi-related news, several sources are coming forward with information about Demi's involvement with Wilmer Valderrama, the 30-year-old actor best known for his role on "That 70's Show". Sources say Demi began dating him after her split from Joe.

Demi's reps have yet to comment on any of the stories, but they have dispelled the rumor that the 18-year-old singer/actress is pregnant. Phew! At least we don't have to worry about that!

Cody Dedicates Song to Demi

Former "Hannah Montana" star and ex-boyfriend of Demi Lovato's, Cody Linley recorded his own version of "Just The Way You Are" and dedicated it to the Disney starlet who is currently undergoing treatment at an undisclosed location.

So sweet!

Demi's Father Will Not Be Silenced, Receives Death Threats

Though Patrick Lovato, estranged father of Demi Lovato, was berated by both Disney and Demi's mother for commenting on the star's treatment, he continues to talk!

He has even received a few death threats, including a phone call from someone who stated "You're gonna die for what you did to her."

Patrick has since spoken out against both Disney, Demi's mother, and the death threats, saying "I don't care, let them come at me. I'm not responsible for where Demi is right now... I love my daughter."

He has a point, but he said his piece and really needs to shut up now. This back-and-forth isn't doing Demi any good at all.

Updates on Demi Lovato

Good news! Demi Lovato is "doing great" in treatment! Sources say she "she is getting help and on her way to getting better."

Demi is reportedly in solitary confinement and is not allowed to see family or friends in order to better focus on her treatment. While the location of her treatment remains unknown, it is definitely far away from Los Angeles. Sources explain:

Demi is not receiving care at one of the Hollywood-type centers. She is at a real facility that specializes in helping adolescent and adult women with the types of issues she has battled throughout her life. Details about her care are going to remain private.

We are so glad to hear that Demi is doing better and we hope for a speedy recovery! Sources say they do not know when she will be out of treatment.
