In a revealing new interview, Demi Lovato opened up about growing up as a Disney Channel star, including how her old management team normalized her eating disorder, which she said is true of much of the entertainment industry.
“I kind of looked around and had a moment where I was like, ‘Wow. This is so terrifyingly normalized,'” Lovato said in the interview with Bustle, detailing that she used to be given “watermelon with fat-free whipped cream” in place of a birthday cake each year.
Following Lovato’s first stint in rehab at 2010 after punching one of her back-up dancers, she decided not to return to Disney Channel out of fear that she would be silenced from sharing her challenges.
“I came out of the experience with the choice of talking about my struggles or my journey with the possibility of helping people, or keeping my mouth shut and going back to Disney Channel.

Updated: Madonna’s much-publicized performance at this weekend’s Eurovision Song Contest could be in question after the show’s organizers revealed that no contract has yet been signed. The news comes despite the music legend’s scheduled arrival in Tel Aviv on Wednesday morning aboard the private jet of Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams.
Speaking at a press conference in Tel Aviv on Monday night, Eurovision’s executive supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, who has produced the show since 2010, said: “The European Broadcasting Union has never confirmed Madonna as an act. We don’t have a signed contract with her team, and if we do not have a signed contract, she cannot perform on our stage.”
“The Ebu can confirm that no final decisions have been made, or agreements signed, regarding a performance by Madonna at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Any official news and updates will come directly from the Eurovision channels in due course,...

Yikes! Justin sent a profane message with the t-shirt he wore to Sunday brunch with Selena on April 14. What was he thinking?! Justin Bieber usually dresses so casual and clean-cut, but he hinted at his bad-boy side by wearing a 'F**K You' t-shirt to brunch with Selena Gomez on April 14. The shirt also says "Florida" across the front, so Justin probably picked up the shirt during his romantic weekend getaway with Selena in Jupiter, Florida this weekend. But even though he's letting loose on vacation, we don't think the vulgar message is ever appropriate! The couple spent the weekend at a luxurious private resort for the wedding of Allison Kaye, a friend and member of Justin's production team. We hope he dressed a little classier for the ceremony! What do You think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Justin's 'F-u' t-shirt is offensive? More Justin & Selena Justin Bieber: ‘True Love...
