Tuned In: Demi Lovato Is Not Down with Drug References

(Getty)Demi Lovato is not down with casual drug references. Britney Spears still has a thing for white rappers. Chris Brown's being audited, community service style. And Courtney Love is being sued again. Music news, here we go.

Demi Lovato is the family-friendly enforcer on the set of The X Factor, it seems. The ex-Disney star, who has admitted to using drugs and alcohol when she was in her teens, reportedly kicked out a rap duo at the show's Greensboro, North Carolina auditions on Tuesday after they dropped a street drug reference during their performance.

According to TMZ, Lovato took offense to the line "I'm high on bath salts." Before she dismissed the performers, she reportedly admonished them about their lyrical content: "It's really inappropriate to rap about drugs in front of kids."

Lovato famously checked into rehab in 2010 after a physical altercation with a backup dancer. Since her release from treatment in early 2011, she's made a point of being open and honest about her battles with an eating disorder and substance abuse. We wouldn't be entirely surprised if producers had encouraged Lovato to monitor contestants for exactly this kind of behavior it does make for great television.

And in awkward music television, here's Britney Spears having a one-person dance party to a contestant's take on the Vanilla Ice classic, "Ice Ice Baby." Her enthusiasm might have had something to do with the performer's resemblance to her ex-husband, aspiring rapper Kevin Federline.

Someone who probably has no problem with drug references: Lady Gaga, who is still refusing to wear any dang clothes. Chris Brown is still on probation, and while his involvement in a violent brawl at New York City's W.i.P. nightclub last month will not affect his progress, a judge has ordered probation officials to take a closer look at his community service records. Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray said it was not clear how much community service work Brown has actually done. Brown was ordered to complete six months' worth of manual labor after he pleaded guilty to felony assault in 2009.

Courtney Love is being sued by ex-assistant Jessica Labrie for wrongful termination, breach of contract, intentional inflicted emotional distress, negligent misrepresentation, and failure to pay wages and overtime. Labrie, who announced her intention to write a tell-all book about Courtney in March, claims among other things that Love forced her to send false legal correspondence. Courtney may have trouble fighting the suit, as she's already being sued by her former lawyers.

Chumbawumba is down for the count.

V Magazine has just released a behind-the-scenes video of their photo shoot with Ukranian dance group Kazaky, best known for their work on Madonna's "Girl Gone Wild" video. Watch, and be shamed that you can't move half that well in heels.
