Demi Lovato has been known to turn to tattoos as a source of motivation and inspiration for herself. Her most famous tattoo is probably her 'Stay Strong' tattoo on both wrists. However, she has revealed that her parents do not approve of tattoos and she often quarrels with them over her body art.

Citing a generation gap, she explains that her mother has a different perception of tattoos from her generation's perception of tattoos. "It's hard to explain to her that it's like art for your skin and you don't have to draw it on every day," the 20 year old "Heart Attack" singer said. When she g...

Demi Lovato's school principal made her sign a "suicide contract" when she was seven-years-old.

The singer's teachers expressed their concerns about her well-being and her state of mind when she was in second grade, and as a result she was forced to promise that she would never try to kill herself.

"The principal called my parents and made me sign this suicide contract saying that I would not kill myself," she recently told Rolling Stone magazine.

Demi Lovato will be taking some time off this summer, but it won't be to recover from a hectic schedule.

The X Factor judge is due to have her tonsils removed, after they caused several throat-related illnesses. She has been holding off the procedure as long as possible while she promotes her new album Demi.

She told Alan Carr on his talk show, "I'm getting my tonsils out this summer. I've been meaning to get them out for years and years, but my career has just been going, going, going. The thing is, I keep getting sick. Like once a month I get really sick. They're actually not doing me a...

The X Factor judge has been waiting for a gap in her hectic schedule to undergo the much-needed operation to ease her pain after repeatedly falling ill with throat problems.

She tells U.K. talk show host Alan Carr, "I'm getting my tonsils out this summer. I've been meaning to get them out for years and years, but my career has just been going, going, going.

Demi Lovato has heaped praise on her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas for remaining close to her following her rehab stint for emotional issues.

The singer was on tour with the Jonas Brothers in South America when she suffered a meltdown and finally had to face her demons.

She spent months in treatment in 2010 and 2011, but has since bounced back to record a string of hits and will be returning as an X Factor judge/mentor when the U.S. version of the reality TV show comes back later this year (13).

The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne stunned TV viewers on Wednesday (15May13) when he took to the stage naked for a performance on a U.S. talkshow.

The rocker sang David Bowie's track Heroes and the band's new track Try To Explain wearing nothing but a bizarre 'loincloth' made up of of glowing wires, during a performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

With the wide success from her third album, Unbroken, Demi Lovato is back and better than ever with her newest album self titled Demi. Her hit single “Heart Attack” has peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is the opener to Demi, but I personally don’t think it’s the best song on the album. The album is full of Lovato’s signature ballads as well as a handful of golden dance tracks, with a song named “Really Don’t Care” being one of the best. That is why the Pop Topper of the Week is “Really Don’t Care” (feat. Cher Lloyd) by Demi Lovato.

The Skyscraper singer was quizzed about her penchant for carrying sleep aids through airports during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which aired in America on Monday (13May13), and revealed she nabs clean pillows from her hotel rooms so she always has something clean to snuggle up to on long plane journeys.

She explained, "I travel with a pillow 'cos flying is really tricky when you fly as often as I do... I always just think, 'Better to be safe than sorry and look like an idiot, carrying your pil...

Demi Lovato was rewarded yesterday in Washington, D.C., for her efforts to spread awareness of mental health issues.

In 2010, Lovato sought professional help to deal with bipolar disorder, an eating disorder, and self-harming. Since then, Lovato has been outspoken about mental health and even produced a documentary to spread awareness to others and to encourage them to seek out help.

For her efforts, Lovato has become an honorary chairperson for this year's Mental Health Awareness Day by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Sebelius said, "Demi could have ...

Even celebrities are unlucky in love occasionally. Katy Perry's eight-month romance with John Mayer ended in March, and she's currently selling her 8,300-square-foot home for a $7 million.

Mayer recently told Ellen DeGeneres, "Coupling is a tricky thing." He's got that right!

But the pop star isn't sitting home and moping around. She recently completed a trip to Madagascar for UNICEF.  Perhaps she needs a relationship break? She's been officially divorced from Russell Brand for less than one year and started dating Mayer shortly after she split with her ex.

A pal recently told People mag...

Judging stints on reality shows can be fairly short these days, but Demi Lovato is bucking the trend and returning to "X Factor" for a second season. The singer/actress will join Simon Cowell and two yet-to-be named co-judges for the upcoming third season of the FOX series.

Last year, Lovato, 20, became the youngest judge when she joined Cowell, L.A. Reid, and Britney Spears on the panel. Spears and Reid are not returning, and host Khloe Kardashian is also not coming back for the new season.

Cowell announced the news on Thursday, saying: "I couldn't be happier that Demi wants to come back...

Demi Lovato is mixing it up with a new hairstyle. The "X Factor" judge posted a selfie on Twitter on Wednesday with the caption: "New hair!!!!"

She chopped her long locks and is now sporting a shoulder-length look. We think it looks good!

Lovato is also wearing what appears to be a giant sparkler on her engagement finger. Could that mean she's engaged to on-again, off-again boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama?

The singer/actress revealed earlier this month that she has a half-sister. The 20-year-old recently discovered she has an older sister in her 30s.

Lovato told Long Island radio station WB...

"I was about 12 or 13 when I developed my eating disorder, and at that time nobody in the public eye talked about their b...

Some celebrities actually get it right. For more than a year, "The X Factor" judge Demi Lovato has been living in a sober house. Maybe Lindsay Lohan could learn a thing or two from the 20 year old?

Lovato was admitted to rehab in 2010 for problems with anorexia, bulimia and cutting. She is also bipolar. According to TMZ.com, the singer/actress chose sober house living to have the support and guidance of counselors and other addicts close by.

Sources say she moved into a Los Angeles sober house following her inpatient rehab even though she owns a very nice home in the city.

You can't go one week without hearing a ridiculous story involving some of your favorite celebrities. Thankfully, the Starpulse Rumor Patrol is here to sort out what's real and what's fake.

Mila Kunis Called A Slur: Ukrainian actress Mila Kunis may not be coming home for Christmas. Reports say politician Igor Miroshnichenko called Mila a "zhydovka," which roughly translate to "dirty Jewess" and is used in the country to disparage those believed not to act as "true Ukrainians."

Verdict: True. Unfortunately, it appears the politician actually posted the slur on a Facebook page. The Simon Wi...

Tons of celebrities (and pseudo celebrities) attended the VH1 Divas 2012 concert held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday.

Stars paid tribute to legendary late entertainers Whitney Houston and Donna Summer. Jordin Sparks, who co-starred with Houston in her last film, "Sparkle," before her death in February performed a medley of the star's hits with Melanie Fiona and Ledisi - "I'm Every Woman," "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and "How Will I Know."

Kelly Rowland, Adam Lambert and Keri Hilson honored Summer, who died in May, by performing "I Feel Love," "Bad Girls" and ...

Thanks to celebs like Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox it seems like every celebrity under the age of 30 has an infatuation with getting tattoos; and many stars are beginning to stray from the typical images of flowers, butterflies, skulls, hearts and barbed wire (perhaps the lamest tattoo ever) to having words, phrases and book or poem exerpts permanently injected under their skin.

Some celebs have even gotten a bit obsessed with getting new ink on a regular basis -- most of them small tattoos -- but enough to become a makeup artist's nightmare for those in the acting business.

Others, like ...

Demi Lovato has offered her support to movie star Ron Livingston's news anchor sister after she was criticized over her weight issues, insisting the TV presenter is a "strong, beautiful and inspiring woman."

Wisconsin native Kenneth Krause took issue with Jennifer Livingston's size and suggested she sets a bad example for young female viewers, prompting the local newswoman to address the criticism during a broadcast, which became a national news item earlier this month.

The plus-sized WKBT-TV personality said, "The truth is, I am overweight. You can call me fat - and yes, even obese on a...

Singer Demi Lovato refused to accept a Barbie from a Brazilian fan during a concert on Sunday because she doesn't agree with the unrealistic body image associated with the doll.

For years the popular toy's figure has been criticized for sending the wrong message to girls because if Barbie were real, her dimensions would translate into a woman standing 5 foot 9 and weighing just 110 pounds - a combination which would qualify the blonde beauty as anorexic.

Lovato, 20, halted her performance at the Z Festival in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday when a fan threw a Barbie doll onstage.

In response to growing criticism about her weight, Lady Gaga posted an image of herself in her underwear this week, tweeting, "join A BODY REVOLUTION." The photo included the caption: "Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15."

She is just one of many celebrities who have opened up about their struggles with weight and body image. It's no longer uncommon or shocking for a famous person to admit they struggled with an eating disorder.

According to the South Carolina Department of public health, approximately 8 million Americans have an eating disorder – 7 million women and 1 million men. Mean...

Singer/actress Demi Lovato has revealed her weight issues began when she was just three years old.

The "Give Your Heart a Break" hitmaker entered a treatment center in 2010 to conquer her body issues after struggling with both anorexia and bulimia for several years, and now Lovato admits her obsession with her figure started when she was a toddler.

She tells Katie Couric, "I remember being three years old in a diaper and rubbing my hand over my stomach, like I remember thinking in my head, 'I wonder if one day this will ever be flat?' It just continued. I've always had self-confidence iss...

Simon Cowell has praised actress/singer Demi Lovato for turning her life around after her stint in rehab.

The former child star checked into a clinic in 2010 to treat issues including bipolar disorder, self-harming and an eating disorder.

Earlier this year she began her new role as a judge on the U.S. version of Cowell's hit TV show The X Factor, and the media mogul has revealed he specifically targeted Lovato because of her 'Disney star gone bad' background.

He tells YoungHollywood.com, "I like the fact, with Demi, that she was this sort of Disney product who went bad, and knows that sh...

The number one show on both Wednesday and Thursday night last fall is back!

What’s that? You think I’m talking about something other than ‘The X Factor’? Well, you would be wrong. Despite all the negative press, the ratings catastrophe talk, and the presence (or utter non-presence) of Steve Jones, this show was the biggest hit of the fall.

So what did they do? They blew it up, of course! Gone is the aforementioned Jones as well as fun vacuum Nicole Scherzinger and pill vacuum Paula Abdul and here comes Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.

I think everyone was ready for the inevitable Britney ...
