Demi Lovato's 'Skyscraper' inspiration

Demi Lovato's 'Skyscraper' was inspired by all of the people who didn't stand by her when she went to rehab. The singer and actress was admitted to a facility last November for three months to receive treatment for her eating disorders and self-harming and although she had incredible support from her family and close friends, Demi admitted there were many 'artificial' pals who ignored her when she needed them most. She explained: 'It's to every person who tried to bring me down. Everyone has the bully or the mean girl or the ex-boyfriend who tried to bring them down. For me, I think of the people who really weren't there for me when I went into treatment. It was a really dark time for me because I had only a few people - I had surrounded myself with so many artificial friendships. It's about those people too.' Demi, 19, has previously dated Joe Jonas and has reportedly rekindled her relationship with her 31-year-old former boyfriend Wilmer Va

Demi Lovato saved by rehab

Demi Lovato believes going to rehab 'saved her life'. The 19-year-old star - who spent three months receiving treatment for an eating disorder and self-harming from last November - feels she has learned a lot from her experiences and is grateful that her loved ones accept her for who she is. She wrote in her column for Seventeen magazine: 'Thinking about how far I have come in a year makes me so thankful. I could not have done this without God and the amazing support from my family. 'Honestly, I am thankful for my life path, including the highs and the lows, because it has caused my true self to shine through. Going to treatment was a gift and I believe it saved my life.

Photo credit: /WENN suffered a wardrobe malfunction at her Kansas City concert last Tuesday, November 22. She was singing a dance number, "All Night Long" when she accidentally pulled out a hair extension. The awkward incident was caught on tape, but Lovato worked it like a pro. She went on dancing although the piece of hair was still stuck in her arm, most probably because she was wearing jewelry. One of her dancers then helped her to get rid of the hair so she could continue performing. All the while, her crowd continued to cheer. On another news, Lovato is pushing through her limit by making it to her homecoming Dallas, Texas concert.

New Song: Hot Chelle Rae Featuring Demi Lovato, 'Why Don't You Love Me'

Posted 3 hrs ago by Jenna Hally Rubenstein in Celebrity , Music Credit: Getty Images We're not sure what's more impressive: Winning the American Music Award for New Artist Of The Year or securing a blazing collaboration with this year's hottest female vocalist. All we know is that Hot Chelle Rae is on an effing roll right now -- they just won their first AMA and today their collaboration with Demi Lovato has hit the Internet. The song is called "Why Don't You Love Me" and unlike the rowdy " I Like It Like That, " "Why Don't You Love Me" takes a softer approach to HCR's infectiously catchy pop-rock. We're not gonna call this song emo, per se, but the boys definitely get in touch with their sensitive sides on this mid-tempo ballad: "See I can't wake up/I'm living a nightmare/That keeps playing all over again/Locked in a room/So hung up on you/And you're cool with just being friends."

But even so, it's hard not to feel a little bad for Dianna De La Garza after watching the video her daughter Dallas posted to the Internetwhich Demi promptly retweeted. In the video, Dallas giggles as she records her mother bopping along to something on the TV (a workout video, perhaps?). The bopping continues for 40 excruciating but hilarious seconds before Ms. De La Garza gets hip to the hidden camera. She's a trooper for allowing her daughters to share this moment with the world!

But things changed, as a few hours later Demi's mood turned wistful ("I wish I had a show tonight :(") and then maudlin ("My heart hurts today." Demi has since tweeted that she's feeling better, but one has to wonder what prompted the sad tweets? We're guessing it might have something to do with Lovato's rumored boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, although he's stuck mostly to semi-inspirational quotes followed by his own initials: See Demi Lovato photos:

Just before playing "Skyscraper" on Wednesday (Nov. 16) during the first show of her "Unbroken World Tour" -- her first headlining trek -- at Detroit's Fox Theatre, the 19-year-old former Disney Channel star reminded her room full of standing, screaming fans that at this time in 2010 she was in a treatment facility after suffering an emotional breakdown. She was scared, not sure if she'd have a career left but bolstered by fan letters telling her "it's going to be alright." And now Lovato's back, bowed but "Unbroken" -- albeit a bit opening-night tentative as she moved through the briskly paced 75-minute concert.

Concert Review: Demi Lovato opens tour on shaky note at Fox Theatre

By GARY GRAFFFor Journal Register Newspapers DETROIT -- Demi Lovato may be "Unbroken," as she sings on her latest album. But on the opening night of her Unbroken World Tour Wednesday (Nov. 16) at the Fox Theatre, she was still a bit...shaky. Starting as a Disney Channel actress ("Sonny With a Chance," the two "Camp Rock" movies with the Jonas Brothers) -- with, of course, plenty of music in her background -- the 19-year-old Texas native has always seemed an uncomfortable kind of pop diva. She has the pipes, just not the 'tude, and after a well-publicized emotional breakdown a year ago that landed her in a treatment facility, Lovato became more about the tabloids than the tunes. To her credit, though, she's pushed past that. "Unbroken" is her third straight Top 10 album and a notably more mature work than its predecessors, and it's launched her biggest solo hit in "Skyscraper." So she came into the tour, and into the Fox on W

Miley Cyrus and Other Celebrities Being Criticized for Their Curves

There seems to be a positive new trend taking hold in Hollywood -- young celebs like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato are embracing their bodies instead of starving themselves to be skinny. However, not everyone is impressed with the celebrities that have decided to keep their curves. Some of Miley's critics have posted videos on YouTube poking fun at her weight, including one way over exaggerating her curvier figure by claiming that she's now 213 pounds. But the singer isn't letting the fat attacks slide. She took to Twitter to fight back against her haters by posting a photo of a disturbingly skinny woman along with this message: "By calling girls like me fat, this is what you're doing to other people." Miley also used one of the biggest sex symbols in the world to help make her argument - Marilyn Monroe. She posted a photo of the actress in a bikini with this caption: "Proof that you can be adored by thousands of men even when your thighs touch." But
