Gossip Teen

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you… or fed you (or I guess in this case, no one’s really doing much eating…)

Former Disney sweetheart Demi Lovato took to her Twitter yesterday to put the channel that made her a star on blast for making light of eating disorders.  The 19-year-old lashed out against the joke  ”I could just eat you up, well if I ate.” from the show “Shake it Up” Tweeting,

I find it really funny how a company can lose one of their actress’ from the pressures of an EATING DISORDERand yet still make joke about that very disease….. #nice.

The network was quick to respond via their PR Twitter account (isn’t it nice how everything is so personal these days?) and assured the irate actress that the joke would be pulled from the episode.

We hear you & are pulling both episodes as quickly as possible & reevaluating them … It’s NEVER our intention to make light of eating disorders!

Glad that’s settled!

Actress/singer Demi Lovato just announced she is leaving the Disney Channel series, “Sonny With a Chance”. The 18 year-old, who sought treatment for emotional and physical issues last year, confessed the decision to not return to the show was “nerve-racking”, but she has to move on.

“It made sense for me to go ahead and leave the show to focus on my music,” Demi tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “It’s kind of sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended but there couldn’t be a better time for me to move on.”

“I don’t think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery,” says Demi. “Being in front of a camera would make me nervous.”

Disney respects the star’s decision and continues to fully support Demi, who now wants to focus on her music career. “Sonny With a Chance” will return to the screen as a sketch comedy called “So Random” in June 2011.

“We respect Demi’s decision to focus fulltime on her music and not immediately return to her acting career,” a rep for the Disney Channel said in a statement. “She is a talented young woman and our hearts are with her as she continues to take action to improve her health and bounce back from adversity.”

Demi tells all about her struggles with bulimia, cutting and depression in an interview for 20/20. “I’m really excited to see where everything goes,” Demi said of her future. Good luck, Demi!!

Demi Lovato is still tucked away at the rehab facility she’s been in since November working on her problems but interest in her hasn’t waned. Lovato’s song “Shut Up & Love Me” has leaked on the internet and everyone is hot to find out more about it.

The lyrics “Shut up and love me/Cause you’ve already got me/I don’t need words/I need time in your arms.”

It is reported to be an older song that never made it onto an album and not mew material.

Listen to the audio above and tell us – do you think she should record it?

Demi Lovato has posted a thank you message to fans on her Facebook page.

The Sonny with A Chance star is still in treatment in the Chicago area for emotional and physical issues but does want her fans to know she is grateful for hanging in with her while she works on healing.

Demi said: “I wish to thank all the friends and fans who voted for me for the People’s Choice Awards and the Hot Hits Hottest Teen Stars of 2010. I want to make sure my fans know how thankful I am for all their love, support and prayers during this difficult time. Thank you for standing beside me through it all.”

Demi has lots of fans who are rooting for her!

Happy news for Demi Lovato as she recieved a holiday gift from her treatment center.

The troubled Disney teen was able to leave the facility and spend time with her family: her mother Dianna and step-father Eddie De La Garza, and sisters Dallas Lovato and Madison De La Garza.

The family enjoyed a night at the movies at the Hollywood Blvd Cinemas Bar & Eatery in Chicago.

Lovato entered the facility in November where she is being treated for physical and emotional issues.

There is a short video below of Demi with her family after the movie.  Read more »

Demi Lovato is still in rehab in a facility near Chicago, Illinois but the 18 year-old star has hopes to be home for Thanksgiving. Lovato is receiving specialized treatment for emotional and physical issues that came to a boil on tour in South America with The Jonas Brothers late last month. The teen star is reportedly getting better (that’s GREAT news!) and wants to be surrounded by her family on Thanksgiving:

“She doesn’t want to be in the center for Thanksgiving and wants to go home,” the source told E!News.

While I hope she does get her wish, I also hope she doesn’t rush her treatment to come to an end before she is really ready. I do hope she stays in (if recommended) and gets the professional attention she needs and deserves. Missing one Thanksgiving versus staying a while longer and truly getting better – I hope she continues to make the right choices for herself that started with entering rehab.

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.
