Demi Lovato Talks About the Jonas Brothers: "They're Happy and I Support Them"

Demi Lovato has a long history with the Jonas Brothers. And when the group announced they had officially disbanded last month, the X Factor judge was just as taken aback as everyone else. "I think everyone was surprised," the singer-songwriter told E! News, following the double elimination on the X Factor on Thursday, Nov. 14. "I don't think anyone was expecting it but they're off doing their own things and they're happy and I support them." The 21-year-old star also said that she keeps in contact with Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas. "They're brothers to me and I've gone through so much with them," the blue-haired Texan revealed. As for the JoBros, Joe and Nick reunited on stage one last time during the Telehit Awards Concert on Wednesday, Nov. 13 in Mexico City. Kevin could not attend because he was "focusing on business ventures," a source close to the musical group told E! News exclusively. "As announced earlier, the band is no longer together," the source revealed. "However, the guys had made a commitment to Telehit and wanted to keep that commitment." "It's a lot of pressure," Nick said of performing with Joe for the last time. "We actually didn't know that until just a couple of minutes ago. We were actually surprised by that. But it'll be great." The pop group officially called it quits less than three weeks after they canceled their fall tour due to "a deep rift within the band." "There are no personal issues," a source exclusively told E! News at the time. "They just all wanted different things. They love each other. They always will."

Glee Recap: Demi Lovato's Sexy Debut and Rachel's Big Break!

The Beatles are back! Well for another week on Glee, that is… Dust off your dancing shoes and grab your sparkliest dress because once again it's time for prom at McKinley High! Enjoy it while you can because according to newly-crowned Principal Sue (Jane Lynch) this is a "bundle prom" meaning it very well could be the last one we see in Glee history. While Tina is busy throwing shade at anyone blocking her path to prom queen victory, Kitty (Becca Tobin) is dealing with the popularity pressures from the newest cheerio Bree (Erinn Westbrook)—aka the new wannabe-but-will-never-be Santana (Naya Rivera) And over in NYC our terrific threesome has just welcomed the newest (and dare we say spunkiest?) member of the Glee family. Demi Lovato made her highly-anticipated debut as Dani, a musically-inclined waitress who shares some serious sparks with our girl Santana. From a HummelBerry duet to yet another new love interest for Sam (Chord Overstreet) and big news for our Miss Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) read on for all the Glee-filled goodness from Tina In the Sky With Diamonds.WARNING: This is a recap of the latest episode of Glee, if you don't want to be spoiled then we suggest you stop reading right… NOW! McKinley Mayhem: Tina is determined to snag that coveted crown at prom, but once again we realize that the sweet Tina that we met four years ago is long gone, and it looks like snarky Tina is here to stay. In a classic Carrie move, Bree manipulates Dotti Kazatori to dumping an entire bucket of red slushies onto Tina's newly tiara-crowned head in front of the entire school. Not to worry! The New Directions quickly clean Tina up, Kitty gives her a sassy new dress, and once again all is right in the world of Glee. Is It Love or Lust? Another week, another new love interest! Rarely single Sam has fallen for the new college student school nurse, Penny Owen (Phoebe Strole). (Damn! We really wish that given it was Beatles week that she would've been named Penny Lane!) He pretends to be sick, they flirt, and it's all very adorable.Now onto the real romance! Santana and Dani are almost too cute for words, and it's fun to finally see Santana act overly nervous and excited about a girl. We've missed her smile and after everything she's been through (and that failed yeast infection commercial) she deserves to be happy. After a sweet nod to the Britanna fans, it looks like Santani/Dantana (whichever you prefer!) are well on their way to being one of our new favorite couples. We especially loved their warm rendition of "Here Comes the Sun" followed by a very short but oh-so sweet kiss. Hey There Funny Girl! You guys… Rachel snagged the role of Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl! Who else is twirling around their room right now?! After spending the entire episode feeling like a failure, our beautiful Miss Berry sang a toe-tapping duet with Kurt (Chris Colfer), and got some pep back in her step just in time for the casting director to surprise her with the good news in the diner. Her reaction was priceless, the champagne toast in the loft was adorable, and once again we can't help but wish that Glee would solely focus on our NYC stars. Line Of the Night: Santana's entire yeast infection commercial. It was 30 seconds of pure carb-filled goodness!What did you think of tonight's episode of Glee? Are you happy fro Rachel? Sing your thoughts in the comments below!

Demi Lovato Tells Contestant at The X Factor Auditions: "You're the Reason I Don't Drink Anymore!"e

So there's letting someone down easily, and then there's the Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell way. An X Factor source tells us exclusively that Lovato and Cowell got some serious jabs in during the Denver auditions when a Miami native showed up to sing (and apparently butcher) Rihanna's hit single " Only Girl (in the World)". The contestant appeared before the judging panel (which now includes newbies Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio), in a skintight black dress and clutching her iPhone. Why did she need the iPhone? To read the lyrics of the song she was auditioning with, natch. Regardless of whether she needed Google to tell her how the song goes, she did not perform well for the judges, and Cowell let her know it. "You remind me of when I am outside a night club in Vegas at 5 a.m. and there are drunk girls leaving the club singing," he told the girl. "It sounded a lot like that." Lovato laughed and added: "I agree with Simon, actually. I feel like you're kind of the reason I don't drink anymore." Tough crowd! The X Factor's new season is set to premiere Sept. 11 on Fox.

Demi Lovato Resurfaces in Los Angeles After Father's Death

A somber Demi Lovato was spotted today for the first time since the tragic news of her father's death. The X Factor judge was photographed at LAX wearing a long black skirt with an ivory sheer blouse and round black shades. Understandably, Demi didn't seem especially cheery, but she reassured fans on Twitter that, "Today, I feel stronger..." "Even though these past few days have been difficult, I learned that I have so much support and love from my fans and that makes me so happy," she tweeted. Something else that brought some joy to the star was the Supreme Court's decision to shoot down Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (or DOMA). "Gay, straight, lesbian, bi.. No one is better than any one else. What an incredible day for California AND for equality," she wrote. "OUR LOVE WAS MADE, #MadeInTheUSA!!!!!!! #equality #Marriage4ALL #NOH8." News of Patrick Lovato's death went public over the weekend. Details regarding the circumstances of Patrick's death haven't been released, but he reportedly was battling cancer for the last couple of years. Demi broke her silence regarding the tragedy on Monday. "I feel so humbled to have had so much support from my fans, friends, family and complete strangers.. ," she tweeted. "God bless you all, thank you so much." The following day, Lovato posted throwback photos of herself with her father and wrote, "RIP Daddy.. I love you.. Love, Your little partner ❤" Demi, who had been estranged from her father, told the New York Daily News in 2009 that she hadn't talked to her father since 2007. "The last time I talked to him was two years ago," Demi said. "You try to have faith in somebody, even when you're the last person that believes in him. But when somebody lets you down after you've been the only one there for them, and so many times, you don't know what else to do. I had to cut off all connection. It was hurting me too much." Demi also discussed her relationship with her father in her song "For the Love of a Daughter."

Demi Lovato Admits She No Longer Has "Loads of Friends" Since Returning from Rehab

Demi Lovato learned who she could really depend on after spending some time in rehab. During a new interview with Company magazine for their June issue, the X Factor judge recalls losing a number of friends when she realized that a lot of people she considered close to her had hardly reached out during one of the most pivotal chapters of her life. "A couple of months before I went to rehab, I had a birthday party and there were a couple of hundred people there. It was full of people who I considered my closest friends," she told the mag (quotes via Entertainment Tonight). "When I turned my phone on after being in rehab for three months, I expected lots of text messages and phone calls. I had four texts. That was a wake-up call." The harsh reality came as a shock to the star, but it helped her tighten her group of friends to people she knew would always be by her side no matter what obstacle came her way. "I don't have loads of friends. I used to, but then I realized, do any of them actually care? Now I have people who, if I break my leg in the middle of the night, they'll come to the hospital with me," she said. "Or they'll answer the phone at 4 a.m. if I need them."

Lovato returning for US X Factor

Demi Lovato is coming back to The X Factor US. The 20-year-old singer has signed on for the third season of the televised singing competition created by Simon Cowell. The Unbroken hitmaker joined the panel last year alongside Simon, music executive L.A. Reid and Britney Spears. It was rumoured she might not return after L.A. and Britney bowed out to focus on other career opportunities. Demi confirmed the news for her fans on Thursday. “I am so excited to return as a judge and mentor on The X Factor," she told Entertainment Tonight. "Last season was an unbelievable experience and I really enjoyed developing personal relationships with the contestants and the panel. I look forward to taking my previous experience and applying it to make this season even better!" Simon also weighed in. The television mogul called Demi a “superstar” and a “fantastic mentor”, adding that he can’t wait to have her back despite the pair’s love-hate relationship on the show. “Even though she can be really, really annoying - I truly enjoyed working with her and so did the artists. I'm especially pleased she's back, even during her world tour!" he added. Demi has had to defend herself in the past from critics who slammed Simon for hiring such a young star to mentor young hopefuls, claiming she was too inexperienced. She is preparing for the release of her fourth as-yet untitled studio album and the star believes her new music will silence the naysayers. "Well I definitely want to back up why I was a mentor on X Factor. I don't want to go on my album and kind of make people think 'Well what does she know about judging?' And I definitely think I'm going to accomplish hopefully a positive response," she told MTV News last month. "I just always thought I need to give it my all 'cause that's what my contestants were doing." The X Factor US will premiere this fall on America’s Fox network.
