Demi Lovato: Just Another Disney Disaster

I'm so.... tired.

And another one bites the dust.  It was announced today that Disney’s pop sensation Demi Lovato would be leaving her scheduled music tour with the Jonas Brothers and checking into rehab instead.  The official word is that she’ll be seeking treatment for emotional and physical issues, though insiders are saying her list of ailments include an eating disorder, cutting, and possibly a cocaine addiction.  So many achievements, and all before her 19th birthday!  Looks like we might have another Lindsay Lohan on our hands with this one.

Seriously, though, what is it with Disney child stars coming completely unhinged at so young an age?  Demi is hardly the first to go from squeaky clean teen dream to coke snorting crazyface.  Though she’s got a while before working her way up in the ranks of Mickey’s family of train wrecks, God love her, she’s off to a good start.  Here’s what she’s up against:

Reigning Queen of the Disney Slums: Lindsay Lohan

I’ve lost count of how many times she’s been in and out of rehab, but despite her best mediocre efforts, something just isn’t working.  Is she there now, making another botched attempt at sobriety?  Is she in Kitson spending money she doesn’t have?  Is she at her on-again/off-again girlfriend’s house?  Is she famewhoring with her momager and 40 year-old little sister? Who knows!  One thing’s for certain, LiLo is absolutely not the precious redhead we fell in love with back in the Parent Trap days. Read More »


Gossip Cheat Sheet: Another Break For LiLo, Heidi Has A Gun

Last week it seemed like society would finally be free of one of its hottest messes. Turns out, not so much. Unlike we all thought and hoped,  Lindsay Lohan won’t be going to jail…yet. But this week we learn she might not be quite as down and out as we once thought. At least compared to the other crazies in HWood. And you know I’m loving it. There’s something nice about seeing celebrities that are crazier than you; it makes your dreams of having your own reality show seem like a reachable goal.

What’s Happening:

1. Lindsay Lohan finally made it to court! In fact, the judge postponed her vacation because she knew her replacement would go easy on Ms. Lindsanity. Anywho, Lilo has to wear a SCRAM anklet (so in right now), submit to random drug testing, attend an alcohol education course once a week, and even has to call her probation officer every night! She’s still allowed to take her prescription meds (Adderall and Ambien), but the random drug tests will determine if she’s using those properly (doubtful). I know this seems bad, but I think jail would straighten her up. It worked for Paris. Sorta…

2. Simon Monjack (Brittany Murphy’s husband) passed away this week due to heart troubles. He must have really had a broken heart. His family claims he needed a bypass surgery, but he wanted to wait. Brittany’s family is still insisting that he was crazy and something shady was going on in their house. There were a lot of prescription medications found in his home, but no one is sure what the cause of his death actually was. It’s been ruled as natural causes and Simon will be buried next to Brittany. Read More »

The Love List: Bangs, Elections and Little Knowles

love1.jpgI love to love things. It’s true. So much so that I used to say “Love You” on my voicemail – until my friends instructed me that not only is it not true (“Do you LOVE your Dr’s office who calls to confirm your appointment?”), but that it was also a tad creepy to the strangers calling to leave messages on my phone.

So I changed it. And focused my love on other things. A now – for your benefit – I will bring you a weekly Love List. On all things I love. Because if I love them – well then obviously you may love them too. And there was once a song that said what the world needs now is love sweet love. So sweet love I will bring to thee.

My love list for October 4th, 2008:

1. The word Adore. I don’t know why, but I LOVE this word. Lately I’ve replaced the word “love” with “adore.” As in, “I Adore pay day,” or “I absolutely ADORE that Marc Jacobs bag (but not adoring the not-so-adorable price tag),” or “I don’t care if Jeremy Piven is a shmuck – girls have been drawn to them for ages – why stop now? And, therefore, I adore him.” Read More »
