The future of Demi Lovato’s TV show Sonny With A Chance, is up in the air. The Disney star, who entered rehab last week seeking treatment for “emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time,” was set to begin work on the show in January 2011 after returning from The Jonas Brothers Tour and holiday break. With Lovato currently in treatment for an undetermined amount of time, the show could be in jeopardy.

But now that Demi has entered a treatment center to deal with some personal issues — a rep for Disney tells us [TMZ,] “The health and well-being of Demi comes first and if we have to make other plans, we will.”

Whatever keeps Demi healthy and centered is the best thing that could happen. Hopefully she will come out of treatment and be ready to take on the world again, but if not I hope she and her family have the true courage it takes to walk away from Hollywood and stay focused on her recovery.

The Hunger Games trilogy of books is finally getting it’s due and is going to be on the big screen in 2012. The lead role of Katniss Everdeen is highly sought after for any up and coming actress and is totally up for grabs.

Online sites have circulated the news that actresses Chloe Moretz of Let Me In, her Kick-Ass costar Lyndsy Fonseca (now on the CW’s Nikita) and Skins star Kaya Scodelario have been sent the script but another name is being tossed around: Malese Jow. The Vampire Diaries actress has gained quite a following since her character’s untimely death at the end of season 1 on the TV show as the beloved vampire Anna. Jow is a huge fan of the books and wants in on the casting. MTV’s Hollywood Crush caught up with Jow and asked Malese for her take on the role:

Why do you think you would be good for the part of Katniss?
I’m going to sound like I’m tooting my own horn! Looks-wise, I think I’m good for it. When people first meet me, they’re always like, ‘What are you?’ as far as ethnicity. And I’ve been pegged as ‘ethnically ambiguous.’ I think the years the “Hunger Games” takes place, everyone is going be ethnically ambiguous. Everyone is going to have some exotic flavor to them. Slap some gray contacts on me, and I’m good to go.

As far as portraying Katniss and her strength, I feel like with “Vampire Diaries,” I got a lot of experience dabbling in that, and proving to people that I could pull that off. And I’ve grown so much since then. So I can only imagine what I could do if I was presented with the role of Katniss. I would do my absolute best. I would give it 2,000 percent for everyone. I know there are some die-hard fans out there.

Do you visit the fan sites?
I don’t have to go out and look for it. On Twitter and stuff, people have petitions going on that I see by default—things that are sent to me saying, ‘Oh my gosh! I want you as Katniss.’ The fan support for that is great. I feel like, online, I’m a pretty strong contender as far as who the fans want as Katniss, which is very encouraging. I think when it comes to something like this, a book series being turned into a movie, I think the people behind it should look to the fans and who they want. They’re the ones who’ve read it. They know Katniss; they know her personally. And for them to have favorites, that should definitely be considered.

I have to say, as a fan of the books (Suzanne Collins is fantastic!) this could be great. While I like Moretz as an actress, I just don’t see her as Katniss (Prim, perhaps – although I’m partial to Elle Fanning taking that part) and Fonseca is just too old to play 17. Scodelario has been a fan favorite for a long time, but I really like the idea of Malese taking on the Capitol and President Snow.

What do you think? Is Malese a good fit for the girl who outsmarts the political establishment? Who do you want for Katniss? Sound off below!

She’s only 20 but Taylor Swift is planning ahead. The country superstar is preparing her autobiography to be written (someday) by keeping track of her daily life so she has instant recall of all the fabulous happenings she’s a part of.

She tells Britain’s OK! magazine, “Years from now it would be cool to write a book about all the crazy stuff and the insane things I’ve gotten to do. My life moves so fast, I have to write it all down; otherwise I can’t remember where I was yesterday. I will write my biography (sic) for sure.”

Smart! Now she won’t have to rely on her memory.

Charming Emma Watson appeared on David Letterman earlier this week to promote her film, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. During her interview with Dave, he mentioned the London premiere where she accidentally flashed everyone while adjusting her vintage 1970s dress due to the rain. She also confirmed that she is going to be attending college in the US in the fall, but has not said where she is going. Daniel Radcliffe supposedly let it slip that Brown University will be where her academic future lies.

Promoting her new animated film, The Tale of Desperaux, actress Emma Watson is talking about all aspects of her life: college, future film roles, money, and co-stars. In the fourth Harry Potter film, Goblet of Fire, she starred with future Twilight heartthrob, Robert Pattinson. She is delighted for Pattison and has this to say:

5. What’s your take on all the buzz surrounding ‘Twilight,’ which stars ‘Potter’ alum Robert Pattinson?

God, it’s massive! I have no idea! I haven’t seen it, so I can’t really comment, but I’m just gob smacked by the amount of hype and publicity that it’s getting. It’s incredible. I mean, I’m so happy for Rob — he must be over the moon. I’m so happy that everything’s so successful for him — it’s amazing.

Watson talks about avoiding the paparazzi and where she’s applied to college (Harvard and Yale among others,) and how she stays in touch with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in between films.
