spoke with Billboard about the support she received from a pair of celebrities since checking herself into a treatment center last fall. “I feel like there are some people that you’re friends with that talk to you on Twitter or you text,” the 19-year-old said, “but the people that are really there for me are the people that were there for me when I went into treatment. The people that were calling me while I was in there were Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez. Those two girls, they meant the world to me. They still do.”

Demi Lovato Sounds Off On Fiber One Bars Commercial

Posted on May 22, 2011 by popdirt

sounded off after seeing a commercial for Fiber One bars to her Twitter followers (@ddlovato) moments ago. The 18-year-old, who recently sought help for an eating disorder, didn’t like the tagline of the General Mills product. She writes:

Just saw a commercial for Fiber-One bars.. Their slogan literally was “Hungry, no. Results, yes.” Seriously.. What are we teaching people by

saying that? Not to eat to see results? Really disappointed. Yes losing weight for some people can be healthy, but it’s commercials like

that, that led me into thinking that not eating is okay. It’s NOT. There’s too much pressure on people these days to lose weight..

Not okay.. #realtalk.

Posted on May 17, 2011 by popdirt

checked in with her Twitter followers (@ddlovato) on Monday (May 16) after posting an image of herself wearing a bikini. The singer and actress, who recently stepped back into the public eye after ending a rehab stint seeking help for “emotional and physical issues”, writes:

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 my bikini time body!

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..

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.

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

Demi Lovato Angry Over Tweet Equating Bipolar To Being “Psycho”

Posted on May 7, 2011 by popdirt

lashed out at a Twitter user named Michael Crook who commented, “So @ddlovato has admitted she’s bipolar. That, my fine feathered friends, is another word for ‘psycho’.” The 18-year-old said:

@michael_crook for an “author” an a “blogger”, that’s a pretty ignorant thing to say. Know your facts before you write them.

I can’t stand it when people make fun of the diseases so many people struggle from. Not something to joke about.

Also.. One more thing.. ALONG with making fun of illnesses or diseases, doing it over the internet only makes you more of a coward. Not to..

mention now you’ve performed the act of cyber-bullying. Something that is equally as wrong and unacceptable.. #NOH8 RT!!!

Bonnie McKee (@BonnieMcKeee): Bin Laden’s dead!!!!
The president is fashionably late
I feel like I should be like, drinking a beer and eating nachos waiting for this announcement. #America #Fu**Yeah

Travis Garland (@TravisGarland): Osama is in for a rude awakening in the afterlife.

Marie Digby (@mariedigby): Thinking about all of those who lost their lives on 9-11 and their families today. May they rest in peace. Osama Bin Laden is finally gone.

Josh Hoge (@JoshHoge): I wonder if someone actually killed bin Laden or if that Kim Kardashian song just made its way to his iTunes?

(@michellebranch): Wow. Holy schnikey! Good riddance!

Jordin Sparks (@TheRealJordin): Is the news true??? If so, praise the Lord! Hopefully closure for so many!
Hmm….I just want #peace.
