Demetria Devonne “Demi” Lovato[2] (born August 20, 1992) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actress. Her earliest roles included Angela on Barney & Friends, before she became better known for her starring roles in the Camp Rock movies, as Sonny Munroe in Sonny with a Chance, and as the star of the 2009 movie Princess Protection Program. She is also involved in philanthropic activities through charity work and various social and environmental causes.

TV and Movie Reviews congratulates demi Lovato for releasing a new single Tuesday, her first major endeavor since she finished rehab earlier this year.The 18-year-old former Disney star sings of overcoming heartbreak against all odds in “Skyscraper,” which quickly made its way to the top of the digital download charts.

“Go  Go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground. Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper,” she belts out in the emotional ballad.

“Wow.. Top 10 on iTunes within a matter of hours?!? Definitely can’t sleep now. Unbelievable,” she tweeted to her 3.5 million-plus followers.

The new tune marks a comeback for Lovato, who spent three months at an Illinois clinic last fall getting treatment for an eating disorder, cutting and bi-polar disorder.

She checked into the facility last November after a reported blow-up with a back-up dancer while on tour with Disney’s Jonas Brothers band.

After her release in January, Lovato announced she was leaving her popular Disney TV series “Sonny with a Chance” after two years, to devote more time to her music career.She is currently signed with Disney’s Hollywood Records.

The singer is clearly number one with her fans:  “Skyscraper,” shot to the top of the iTunes charts. The performer told Seventeen Magazine that the song symbolized “my journey from the person I was to the happy healthy person I am today.”

Demi Lovato,The 18-year-old Disney star completed her rehab stint and returned to Los Angeles earlier this week. Lovato was spotted in Santa Monica, California on Friday afternoon.

She has yet to decide if she will return to her television show, Sonny with a Chance.  Sources say that for now she “will continue to focus first and foremost on her well-being.”

In turn, a Disney Channel spokeswoman said, “Demi’s management will inform us when she is able to return to work.”

In November,  Demi Lovato admitted herself to a rehab facility to get treatment for “emotional and physical issues.” She had to pull out of a concert tour in Latin America with the Jonas Brothers.

Lovato had fought eating disorders, was bullied at school and had struggled with cutting, her spokeswoman had said.

Her show, Sonny with a Chance, was altered to focus on skethces for So Random, a show within a show on Sonny. So Random is now being developed as a full series, said the Disney Channel. Production started earlier this week.

Even though she is still in rehab, Demi Lovato’s career is doing better than most people’s, a success she is crediting  to her support from fans. After winning at the People’s Choice Awards last week for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and a guest spot on Grey’s Anatomy, Demi Lovato used Facebook to send all of her fans a thank you.  “I wish to thank all the friends and fans who voted for me for the People’s Choice Awards and the Hot Hits Hottest Teen Stars of 2010. I want to make sure my fans know how thankful I am for all their love, support and prayers during this difficult time. Thank you for standing beside me through it all,” Lovato wrote. That is so sweet for Demi to write a thank-you message, though to be fair we imagine she has a lot of time on her hands right now.

Not that it’s all group therapy and no play for Demi Lovato.  Demi has been spotted out in Illinois  and that suggests the singer is able to take good behavior trips as her treatment continues. “Yea just was at target and Demi Levato was there… We asked to take pics but she said no…,” a surprised fan tweeted last Friday. No word yet on whether Lovato will be released to shoot Sunny With A Chance Of, which begins filming the week of January 30. “Everybody is really excited that Demi is still resting, taking time to relax, so I applaud her in that regard. When we start filming again, I’m sure everything will be back to normal,” says Sunny castmate Brandon Mychal Smith.

Demi Lovato and dancer Alex Welch have made peace for the holidays: The Disney Channel star has reached a settlement with Welch, the dancer she struck.

“I’m happy. We came to an agreement and I’m ready to move on,” Alex “Shorty” Welch, a member of the all-female dance crew, Beat Freaks, recently said in an interview. “I’m ready to start working again.”

 Demi Lovato, 18, has been in treatment for emotional and physical issues since the altercation took place in October during the South American leg of the Jonas Brothers‘s world tour.

According to Welch, the punch came after  Demi Lovato was confronted by tour managers about her conduct the previous night. The incident left Welch with a black eye and a bruised left cheekbone, and the dancer considered legal action prior to the resolution.

Lovato’s reps had no comment on the settlement.

Welch, 21, would not disclose the terms of the settlement but said that the agreement called for a portion of the settlement to be donated to charity. “That’s important,” she says.

Demi Lovato’s reps have  denied that the Disney actress was being treated for drug or alcohol addiction, following  claims in the media that she had a history of heavy drinking and cocaine use.

The cocaine claims came from some celebrity publications a week after Lovato, 18, pulled out of a concert tour and went into rehab for what were described as long-standing “emotional and physical issues”.

“Demi Lovato is not in treatment for drug or alcohol addiction. As we have said since she entered treatment last week, Demi decided to seek help for emotional and physical issues she has battled throughout her life,” Lovato’s spokesman Jesse Derris said in a statement.

“She has taken this step in order to get her life in order. While we know many are interested in Demi and her life, we do ask for a modicum of privacy during this difficult time,” he added.

Representatives for the young star of Disney Channel’s “Sonny with a Chance” TV show and the “Camp Rock” movies said last week that she was bullied in school and had a history of eating disorders and cutting herself.

But the U.S. celebrity media has been awash with further speculation about Demi Lovato’s sudden withdrawal from public life in the middle of a Latin American tour with pop band The Jonas Brothers.

Demi Lovato, who had briefly dated Joe Jonas earlier this year, is said to have punched a female dancer who she thought leaked stories about her partying during the tour.

Some of the reports about Lovato have ranged from rumors — flatly denied — that she is pregnant to claims she was depressed after the accidental death in July of a former boyfriend.

Lovato’s treatment has not affected production of “Sonny With a Chance”, which is not currently filming.

A source close to Lovato’s family told celebrity magazine People on Wednesday that the teen actress is “determined to get better. She recognizes that she has a difficult road ahead. Demi is committed to her treatment.”

Demi Lovato is seeking helpf ro some personal issues…

Bullied so bad she left her school… hung up on self-image problemsto the point  that family members say she cut herself. Working nonstop on a grueling cycle of touring, shooting and personal appearances alongside a guy who broke her heart and his high profile new girlfriend.

This is what we’ve learned about the circumstances behind the Disney star Demi Lovato’s shocking announcement that she was leaving the Jonas Brothers tour and heading into treatment for “personal issues”

“Demi has decided to take personal responsibility for her actions and seek help,” her rep told E! News yesterday. “She is doing just that. Demi and her family ask that the media please respect their privacy during this difficult time. She regrets not being able to finish her tour, but is looking forward to getting back to work in the near future.”

Lovato’s troubles date back years. Despite a promising career with credits ranging from Barney to Disney specials, she was a target by her classmates.”I was bullied in middle school. It got so bad I chose to leave and be home schooled,” she wrote in an October letter on the PACER’s Teens Against Bullying website.

“Many people think of bullying as getting beat up in school, but it is so much more than that. For me it was all of the verbal harassment I had to deal with. People say sticks and stones may break your bones but names can never hurt you, but that’s not true. Words can hurt. They hurt me. Things were said to me that I still haven’t forgotten.”

A source tells E! News that Demi Lovato has struggled with bulimia, and it is among one of her emotional and physical issues. Two years ago, photos surfaced of her with suspicious marks on her wrist while she attended Miley Cyrus‘ birthday party. At the time, her rep tried to shoot down the notion that it was self-mutilation, blaming it on candy jewelry.

“Demi was wearing gummy bracelets just prior to her appearance on the red carpet and, because of how tight they were, they left indentations on her wrist,” publicist Allison Leslie insisted to E! News. Family sources however say Demi Lovato has indeed cut herself in the past.

“On tour [this summer] they were calling her ‘Demi Drama,’ another insider with the Lovato-JoBros tour tells E! News.

“After she split with Joe, it was just a whole bunch of drama, very awkward. Everyone tried to be professional, but you could tell it was wearing down Demi. It was a taboo subject to bring up, but clearly she wasn’t over Joe.

“The [Jonas] boys got a break after the tour, but Demi went a nonstop promo campaign for Camp Rock 2 and was pushing the single for that movie. It really was too much ask of a girl that young. She just couldn’t handle it.”

“I think Demi has a lot of issues she is dealing with, but at the source of them all is a great deal of stress.”

Other sources say there was even more to her weekend meltdown that saw her shut down her Twitter account and leave the JoBros tour in the middle of its South American swing.At the airport in Peru on Saturday, Demi got into a scuffle with a backup dancer.

“She just lost it right at the airport in front of everyone,” says the source.Demi also made verbal threats to Joe’s new squeeze, Ashley Green, who was at the airport as well and witnessed her meltdown, the source says.

Indeed, according to a someone close to the Lovato family, the airport altercation was the “catalyst” to Demi Lovato deciding to “take responsibility” for her actions.

Demi Lovato talks about Camp Rock 2

Camp Rock 2, a Disney Channel Original Movie starring pop singers Demi Lovato and the teen pop-rock group the Jonas Brothers, will premiere tonight  on the Disney Channel. With the first Camp Rock movie, which had a total of over 10 million viewers, the stars join the cast of “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.” In this sequel, their camp could close because of a flashy music camp across the lake.

“The first movie was all of our first movies,” Lovato says. “This time around, I knew what to expect and was a little more seasoned as an actress. The first movie was really great, but I think we all stepped up our game for the second movie.”

Lovato said she really connected with the “Camp Rock 2″ tune because she and Joe Jonas have been friends for so many years.

“If I had just met him, it would have been more difficult to play those emotions,” Lovato says. “We have gone through a lot — not just me and him, but all three of the brothers. We’ve been through so much since the first Camp Rock.”

An extended edition of “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” that features two new music numbers will be available on Blu-ray and DVD Sept. 7.
