X Factor judge Demi Lovato and gossip columnist Perez Hilton are in a drop down, drag out Twitter war over the media’s handling of Lindsay Lohan’s recent arrest.

After news of LiLo’s run in with the law went public, Demi took to her Twitter account to voice her disgust with the media circus surrounding the arrest.

I really wish we could go back in time when artists were known for their work. Not their personal lives.

And when was that again Demi?  The middle ages?  Yeah, no – artists’ private lives weren’t even private way back then.  If you want out of the spotlight, you’re going to have to move out of L.A.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton appears to agree with us, because he sounded fired off this Tweet:

@ddlovato Do you really think @LindsayLohan wants the media to not write about her? She needs attention and creates drama to get it. #Truth

To which Demi responded,

@PerezHilton The media (not just you) don’t realize when you need to stop. This isn’t a headline for your readers. This is someone’s life.

Perez fired back:

@ddlovato The media (me) is not harming Lindsay. She is doing that to herself. She needs to take #accountability before she will get better.

And the 20-year-old former Disney star got the last word when she Tweeted:

@PerezHilton hey how about you just leave her alone? Instead of kicking someone while they’re down?

Wow.  We see your point Demi, but then again… we see your side too Perez!  But no matter who is “right”, hopefully we can all agree that we want Lindsay to get better!
