Demi Lovato’s Eating Disorder Comedy Pilot Gets NBC Order
Lovato has been open about having an eating disorder herself in the past. “I was compulsively overeating when I was 8 years old,” she told ABC News in 2011. “So, I guess, for the past 10 years I’ve had a really unhealthy relationship with food.” Lovato has also said that when she was working on Camp Rock as a teenage Disney Channel star, she was bullied about her weight by her classmates, which in turn led to bulimia. “I was performing concerts on an empty stomach,” she said. “I was losing my voice from purging.” If the project is greenlit to series, it will mark Lovato’s first regular TV role since she starred in Disney Channel’s 2009 series Sonny With a Chance. The news comes on the heels...
Taylor Swift Is Obsessed With Stephen Colbert In Hilarious ‘Late Show’ Segment
With all that work to do, it made sense for Swift to zoom in from the studio where she’s rerecording her complete works. That’s exactly what she did. So, was “Hey Stephen” written about Colbert? Nope. C’mon. Swift recorded it back in the day when she was 18, he was probably 44. “It’s just the power of music,” she explained, dismissing him. “Don’t flatter yourself.” Then, matters took a strange turn when Swift held up something she prepared earlier, a mood board stacked with pictures of Colbert. Swift then flexed her comic-acting chops by walking us through some stalker-ish knowledge of Steph’s little-known table-waiting history and every fine detail down to his social security number. “You Need to Calm Down” also isn’t about Stephen, maybe. “Hey Stephen” is actually, in Swift’s own words, ...

Britney Spears Feels ‘Flattered’ That the World Is ‘Concerned With My Life’
The world grew more concerned about the pop star’s life following the release of the New York Times documentary Framing Britney Spears, which touches on her life under the spotlight while shining a light on her conservatorship, in February. Despite feeling “flattered” by the overwhelming response by her worried fanbase after Framing came out, Spears said she felt “embarrassed by the light they put me in” in her first direct response to the doc about her life. “My life has always been very speculated …watched … and judged really my whole life !!!” Spears wrote on Instagram on March 30. “I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in. I cried for t...
Demi Lovato & Drew Barrymore Discuss Their ‘Challenging’ Lives as Child Stars
The two reflected on the “weird” dynamic of being around adults all the time for work while watching them grab a drink afterward and thinking as a teenager growing up in the Hollywood environment, “Well what do I get to do to play?” Lovato later elaborated on her mentality of “if you’re going to work me like an adult, I get to party like one” while the two touched on their struggles with drinking. Barrymore also recalled a portion of the singer’s latest YouTube Originals docuseries Dancing With the Devil where Bachelor host Chris Harrison questioned a 16-year-old Lovato on the red carpet at the 2008 American Music Awards how she could know about heartbreak. The scene follows shortly after Lovato reveals she had been allegedly r...
