Celebrity Teens: Demi Lovato mental illness confessions big news?

Celebrity Teens!

Demi Lovato speaks out about her mental illness?

[Apr. 15]

Disney Princess Demi Lovato recently was released from rehab over alleged drug and alcohol issues, after striking out at one of her dancers for confessing the teen starlet’s partying to her parents. Then she confessed to Seventeen magazine about an eating disorder. Just this Thursday, the singer and actress tweeted encouragement to Catherine Zeta-Jones, who also has gone into treatment for bipolar disorder, and she had only positive words for the actress and wife of Michael Douglas. All of these events for the celebrity teen made major media headline news. That is pretty exciting for an up and coming starlet, pop music star, and television personality — considering the very real fact most adults in America have never heard of her.

“I don’t know Catherine Zeta-Jones personally but what she has decided to do it SO brave.. And SO difficult but worth it… I’m proud of her,” the Disney starlet said on Twitter. News flash.

And speaking of Twitter, don’t let Demi Lovato know that you text while driving. On Wednesday, she tweeted a twitpic of a man in a car next to her, obviously looking down toward the steering column instead of at the road ahead of him where he should have been looking. Huge entertainment journal response.

Demi was not impressed. “FYI – this is how dumb you look when you are texting while driving…. Hahaha #donttextndrive,” reports Earsucker.com, and she added, “P.s. I was NOT driving when I took this! :p” Good for you! We don’t need any more irresponsible drivers on the roads. Talk show fodder.

[And the Disney princess might just punch you like she punched her dancer when she had her breakdown. Kidding! She’s better now. Feature article.]

James Durbin teaching Heavy Metal Concert 101 on American Idol 2011?

[Apr. 13]

American Idol, the television series, has a massive following in the United States and viewers are from a broad range demographic. James Durbin is teaching everyone Heavy Metal Concert 101 and rock music fan or not, it sure is hard not to like him. While only a small number of people watching the show have probably every been to a real heavy metal rock concert, as former Gen X headbanger whose life partner is a Baby Boomer who has seen nearly every hit band and major rock star of note since the 1960s one thing was clear from our view-point. Durbin rocks the house not because of his raw talent but because he has studied his rock music history. That’s our theory — the kid with the faux hawk is actually *gasp* an ACADEMIC.

Confused? Don’t be.

Haley Reinhart best dang Karaoke lounge singer on American Idol 2011?

[Apr. 13]

That Haley Reinhart… she is the breakout not-a-hit on American Idol 2011. While she loves to belt out a note, the chances are that she will be booted off the American Idol competition long before a record deal can even be seriously talked about. Judge Randy Jackson finally said what so many Americans were already thinking about Haley’s April 13th appearance — her blondie tune, while fun and lively, was amateur level at best and simply not up to par compared to the show’s other talents this season.

While everyone hopes American Idol hosts will discover a new Janis Joplin and early comparisons were made between Haley Reinhart and the deceased rock and roll legend, her voice and personality — while trying her best — bless her heart, just ain’t making it.

However, since Pia Toscano was sent home by call in voters last week, it seems no one on American Idol is safe this season.

The April 13th show showed all the competitors taking risks of one sort or another — except for Hailey Reinhart (whose only risk was her inability to bring it).

Stephen Tyler agreed with Randy Jackson. Jennifer Lopez agreed with Randy Jackson. Everyone who is a fan of real music agreed with Randy Jackson. Bottom line, when it comes to Haley Reinhart, although we like her personally and think she is probably a nice girl, she simply has got to go.
