Britney and a newly blonde Demi join Simon Cowell and LA Reid in New York for the big announcement. While Britney’s rumored to get $15 or $16 million for the judging gig, Demi’s reportedly only getting $1 million.
THE TWO POP STARS CONFIRMED THE NEWS THAT THEY’RE FILLING THE 3RD AND 4TH CHAIRS AT THE JUDGES TABLE ON MONDAY DURING FOX’S UPFRONT PRESENTATION IN NEW YORK.
THE GIRLS JOIN SIMON COWELL AND THE OTHER X-FACTOR VETERAN, MUSIC MOGUL, LA REID, ON THE PANEL.
AND BRITNEY TELLS US WEEKLY,
"I couldn't be more excited. I'm a huge fan of the show and now I get to be a part of the action. Simon and L.A. better watch out!" AND A NEWLY BLONDE DEMI LOVATO ADDED, I am totally stoked to be here. I'm excited to represent my generation."
THE NEW ADDITIONS ARE A CLEAR DEPARTURE FROM LAST SEASON’S FEMALE JUDGES PAULA ABDUL AND NICOLE SCHERZINGER, WHO WERE LET GO A FEW MONTHS AGO… THINK THEY’RE AIMING AT A YOUNGER DEMOGRAPHIC?
THE FIRST SEASON OF SIMON’S LATEST BRAIN CHILD WASN’T THE HIT THE NETWORK HAD HOPED, SO EXECS ARE THINKING THAT BRITNEY AND DEMI WILL BRING IN THE RATINGS AND A BROADER AUDIENCE.
SIMON TELLS THE MAG, “Britney remains one of the biggest stars in the world: she's talented, fascinating -- and I believe she knows exactly how to spot The X Factor. Demi's had an amazing career in music, TV and film for someone her age. She's young, confident and enthusiastic. I think it's really important that she speaks to our younger audience."
WHILE BRITNEY’S RUMORED TO GET $16 MILLION FOR THE SEASON, DEMI REPORTEDLY SIGNED ON FOR ABOUT $1 MILLION.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT THE DOLLAR SIGNS SAY, WE’RE THINKING THAT ALL EYES WILL BE ON THE X-FACTOR THIS FALL. THE SHOW AIRS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS. WILL YOU BE WATCHING? LET US KNOW ON FACEBOOK. FOR CTV I’M KZ
The singer has made no secret about her struggles with cutting and bulimia, but for the first time Demi opens up about her alcohol and cocaine problem.
THE 19-YEAR-OLD STAR IS OPENING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT HOW COCAINE AND ALCOHOL CONTRIBUTED TO HER DOWNWARD SPIRAL…
SHE TELLS UK’S FABULOUS MAGAZINE, “Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs, they wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my ass. Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no'. That's why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me.”
ALTHOUGH DEMI SAYS SHE DOESN’T DRINK ANYMORE, SHE DOES ADMIT TO RELAPSES OF BULIMIA AND CUTTING SINCE SHE LEFT REHAB. BUT NOW SHE IS FINALLY LEARNING TO EMBRACE HER FULLER FIGURE.
SHE SAYS, "After so long being thin, it was terrifying being heavier.” BUT NOW SHE HAS A MEAL SERVICE SO SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT EATING HEALTHY.
OVERALL, THE UNBROKEN SINGER SAYS SHE’S STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS. “I'm not saying I'm perfect, or fixed, but I am learning to love and accept myself.”
BINGEING, RAZORS, AND COUNTLESS HOURS OF THERAPY, NOTHING WAS OFF LIMITS IN DEMI LOVATO’S LATEST INTERVIEW…
DEMI LOVATO’S BEEN PRETTY OPEN ABOUT HER ROAD TO RECOVERY SINCE SHE LEFT REHAB LAST YEAR… THE FORMER DISNEY STAR CONFESSES LOTS OF HER SECRETS THROUGH THE MUSIC ON HER NEW ALBUM “UNBROKEN.”
BUT NOW SHE’S TALKING ABOUT THE INNER DEMONS THAT ALMOST DERAILED HER CAREER. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DAILY MAIL’S “YOU MAGAZINE,” DEMI REVEALS HOW HER BATTLE WITH ANOREXIA AND BULIMIA FIRST STARTED…
“I started overeating when I was about eight... I would bake a whole plate of cookies and eat them all...Then when I turned 12 I was bullied in school and they called me fat. I went from being an overeater to stopping eating and I lost about 30 pounds.” WHEN HER WEIGHT LEVELED OFF, SHE SAYS SHE STARTED THROWING UP TO LOSE WEIGHT.
BULLYING LED TO SELF-MUTILATION… “Girls scratch or cut themselves with razor blades, scissors or sharp objects, or burn themselves,” SHE SAYS, “I’ve pretty much tried all of it. My main thing was cutting and that was so horrible”…I definitely self-medicated with drugs and alcohol. I would be lying if I said I didn’t.”
DEMI HIT ROCK BOTTOM WHEN SHE PUNCHED ONE OF HER BACKUP SINGERS, AND WOUND UP SPENDING THREE MONTHS IN REHAB…
“I went through 14 hours of therapy every day,” SHE TELLS THE MAG, ADDING THAT SHE WASN’T ALLOWED TO USE THE BATHROOM ALONE OR USE RAZORS TO SHAVE HER LEGS.
NOW DEMI LIVES WITH A QUOTE, “RECOVERY” ROOMMATE WHO MAKES SURE SHE EATS 3 MEALS A DAY.
STILL, SHE ADMITS, EVERY MEAL IS A BATTLE. “It’s an addiction and I’m going to have to fight it for the rest of my life... There’s no cure and I may mess up, but I want to be a better role model for my fans and my younger sister.”
DO BLONDES REALLY HAVE MORE FUN? GUESS DEMI LOVATO IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT.
THE FORMER DISNEY STAR TWEETED THIS PIC OF HER NEW LIGHTER ‘DO, AND SAID: “Thank you SO much Nine Zero One salon for my new locks!! How do you guys like the new look??”
GUESS HER NEARLY 6-MILLION FOLLOWERS DIG THE BLONDE THING – A LITTLE BIT LATER DEMI TWEETED… “Demi Blondevato is a trending topic?!! Y'all are funny! Haha!”
IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME THE 19-YEAR-OLD HAS SWITCHED THINGS UP IN THE HAIR DEPARTMENT.
LAST YEAR SHE ROCKED THE RAVEN LOOK BOTH OUT AND ABOUT … AND ON THE RED CARPET… THEN SHE WENT WITH A HIGHLIGHTED AUBURN HUE AT THE VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS.
BY THE FALL DEMI’S HAIR HAD TURNED RED WITH THE LEAVES, AND OF COURSE NOW SHE’S GONE BLONDE.
GOTTA GIVE THE GIRL PROPS – SHE’S GOT IT GOING ON IN EVERY DIFFERENT SHADE.
Watch out Hollywood- Cause cupid is coming for ya! And if we could play cupid for just one day…here’s who we’d have lockin’ lips on Valentine’s Day.
THE FIRST COUPLE WE’D LIKE TO PAIR UP AS PARAMOURS…
KIM KARDASHIAN AND ASHTON KUTCHER!
TALK ABOUT A MATCH MAKE IN PAPARAZZI HEAVEN… THEY’RE BOTH NEWLY SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE, THEY’RE IN THE SAME AGE BRACKET, AND WE DOUBT EITHER OF THEM WOULD EVER SPEND VALENTINE’S DAY – DATELESS…
AND HOW ABOUT TAYLOR LAUTNER AND EMMA ROBERTS?
HE’S BEEN BACK ON THE MARKET SINCE BREAKING UP WITH LILY COLLINS, AND SHE’S FRESH FROM HER SPLIT WITH CHORD OVERSTREET…
AND THEIR STARS ARE BOTH IN THE SAME STRATOSPHERE – TONS OF TALENT, AND JUST ABOUT TO TAKE OFF… NOT TO MENTION THEIR TRADEMARK SMILES
JAKE GYLLENHAL IS LOOKING FOR A “NEW GIRL” AND WE THINK HE AND QUIRKY CUTIE, ZOOEY DESCHANEL WOULD MAKE A PERFECT PAIR…
THEY’RE BOTH A LITTLE MORE ON THE RESERVED SIDE, BUT WE COULD TOTALLY SEE THEM GETTING COZY. AND JUST LOOK AT THEIR MATCHING BABY BLUES…
IF BRUNO MARS IS LOOKING FOR LOVE, WE THINK HE AND DEMI LOVATO COULD FORM AN “UNBROKEN” BOND, AND IF ALL GOES WELL, HE COULD EVEN SERENADE HER WITH…“MARRY YOU”
A WEEK AFTER ANNOUNCING HER BREAK FROM TWITTER, DEMI LOVATO IS BACK… AND YOU BETTER LISTEN UP!
WHATS THE BEST WAY TO SHOOT DOWN NASTY RUMORS? TAKE TO TWITTER!
“Don’t believe the hype… All is well!” DEMI TWEETED ADDING, “SO stoked to head to Chile in a few days!!! Love all my Lovatics… MUAH! xo
A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE WEBSITE, “BLIND GOSSIP” REPORTED THAT DEMI HAD BEEN ADMITTED TO A TREATMENT CENTER IN MALIBU FOR ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION…
THEN LAST WEEK, DEMI ADDED MORE FUEL TO THE FIRE, WHEN SHE TOOK A HIATUS FROM TWITTER, LEAVING HER FANS WITH THIS: “Twitter break. It's for the best actually. Who allows me to have this thing anyways?!!! I just get myself in trouble! Haha. Anyway... BYE!"
BUT HER CAMP TELLS MTV NEWS, THAT REHAB STORY IS ANYTHING BUT TRUE…
SEE DEMI, WE ALWAYS KNEW TWITTER WAS GOOD FOR SOMETHING…
When it comes to Hollywood- there’s no such thing as TMI thanks to the paparazzi!
But lately, thanks to twitter…we get the inside scoop from the celebs themselves!
Check out our favorite twit pics of the week.
Someone has come a long way since high school!
Ashley Tisdale decided it would be a great idea to go out with her friends and have them take sexy pics of her dance moves…and then post them on twitter.
The Tis had no problem showin’ off her sexy moves in this white tee shirt- filled with holes and captioned one photo:
#Whenthemusicisloud.
But the photo fun didn’t stop in the club…outside Ash showed off her crew in this pic and tweeted: This is how we roll #escaladedeep. Looks like a fun night!
We love that Lauren Conrad is fearless when it comes to the color of her hair- and she isn’t afraid to show it off!
She just tweeted her new look and said:
“My cotton Candy Bun”
So is candy the new ombre?
And while we really wanted Selena Gomez’s latest tweet to be about Justin Bieber…as soon as we saw the photo we knew she was talking about her other best friend!
It’s ok Justin- we’re sure she misses you too!
But one member of young Hollywood decided to totally pull the plug on Twitter this week! Demi Lovato’s 5.6 million followers were shocked when she announced on Saturday that she was dunzo saying: Twitter break. It's for the best actually. Who allows me to have this thing anyways?!!! I just get myself in trouble! Haha. Anyway... BYE!
Not sure if this is a permanent or just a hiatus- but we’ll keep ya posted.
WEDNESDAY’S PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS KICKED OFF THE BIG RED CARPET SEASON AHEAD…BUT THIS NIGHT ABSOLUTELY BELONGED TO YOUNG HOLLYWOOD…
FIRST UP, DEMI LOVATO… AND SHE DEFINITELY ROLLED OUT THE DRAMA…THE SKYSCRAPER SINGER SHOWED OFF HER CURVES IN A CORAL-COLORED SILK CHIFFON MARCHESA WITH A DRAMATIC TRAIN…
AND ANOTHER FORMER DISNEY STAR SHOWED OFF A TOTAL TRANSFORMATION! CHECK OUT MILEY CYRUS!!! THE IVY DRESS WITH THE PLUNGING NECKLINE WAS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SEXY AND SOPHISTICATED…AND THE HAIR – ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HER BEST ACCESSORY FOR A MINUTE? HELLO LIAM HEMSWORTH…THIS GUY ONLY GETS HOTTER… MILEY, YOU WERE SMART TO MAKE UP AFTER THAT BREAK UP!
VANESSA HUDGENS ALSO STEPPED UP HER GAME ON THE RED CARPET… THE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL STAR HAS BEEN DOIN’ THE BOHO THING LATELY, BUT WEDNESDAY NIGHT WAS ALL ABOUT GLAMOUR IN THIS BLACK AND GOLD, HALTER STYLE DRESS BY JENNY PACKHAM… SO BLACK WIDOW!
BUT LEA MICHELE WENT FOR AN ANGELIC LOOK IN THIS WHITE BEADED MARCHESA…
OK, NOW CHECK OUT JULIANNE HOUGH! TALK ABOUT BRINGIN SEXY BACK!!!
THE NIGHT’S HOST PULLED OFF SEVERAL WARDROBE CHANGES, BUT WERE FAVORING KALEY CUOCO’S PALE, BADGLEY MISCHKA WITH A SHEER EMBROIDERED OVERLAY.
BUT WE’VE GOTTA HAND IT TO JENNIFER LAWRENCE FOR TAKING THE BIGGEST FASHION RISK. THE HUNGER GAMES STAR ROCKED THIS UNUSUAL WAVE-INSPIRED NUMBER... WE’VE SORTA GOT A BLUE CRUSH ON THIS ONE!
JUST ASK DEMI LOVATO…IT WAS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF TWEETS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY WERE DIRECTED TOWARD WILMER VALDERRAMA…
ALTHOUGH THE TWO NEVER CONFIRMED THEY WERE A COUPLE, THEY WERE SPOTTED TOGETHER SEVERAL TIMES SINCE SHE WAS RELEASED FROM REHAB A YEAR AGO… BUT NOW, A SOURCE TELLS US MAGAZINE, THEY “are no longer hooking up."
HMMM, JUDGING FROM THIS TWEET, WE’VE GOTTA WONDER IF SHE WAS THE ONE TO KICK HIM TO THE CURB… ON TUESDAY SHE RETWEETED A QUOTE FROM MARILYN MONROE:
"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left." AND LATER SHE ADDED, “The smartest thing a woman can ever learn, is to never need a man.”
SOUNDS LIKE THE 19 YEAR OLD’S LEARNED A LOT ABOUT LOVE LATELY…
OK, SO WILMER’S SO LAST YEAR… BUT 2012’S ALREADY LOOKING LIKE A GREAT YEAR FOR DEMI… AND WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HER PERFORM ON THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS. TUNE IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON CBS.
FOR CELEBTV, I’M KELLI ZINK.
NOTHIN’ LIKE A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS… AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT DEMI LOVATO HAD WITH BFF’S LIKE SELENA GOMEZ AND MILEY CYRUS DURING HER STINT IN REHAB LAST YEAR.
BUT, THE SKYSCRAPER SINGER REVEALS, WHILE SHE AND SELENA NEVER FIGHT, MILEY’S A DIFFERENT STORY.
SHE TELLS SEVENTEEN, “Miley and I are very strong-headed, so when we fight, it's brutal and we're like, 'We're never going to be friends again!' Then two days later, we're like, 'I love you and I miss you!'…AND SHE ADDS, “No matter how many times we fight, we will always be in each others' lives.”
ANOTHER CLOSE PAL? KIM KARDASHIAN! DEMI SAYS SHE QUOTE "was there for me when not many people were. I could count on my hands how many people were there for me. So the people who were, I didn't forget it."
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES! SHE ALSO TELLS THE MAG, SHE’S CLEAN AND HEALTHY. “I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't throw up after my meals, I don't starve myself,” SHE SAYS, “There's nothing that I do that I feel ashamed of."
AND YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE OF DEMI’S CONFIDENCE SECRETS IN FEBRUARY’S SEVENTEEN. FOR CELEBTV, IM KELLI ZINK.
