Demi Lovato Leads Gang Up for Good

Seems like Demi is really serious about fighting against bullying!

The “Skyscraper” singer officially revealed via her Twitter account that she is the official ambassador for Secret deodorant’s “Mean Stinks” anti-bullying campaign, which urges girls to “gang up for good.” Surely thrilled and excited about her contribution to the project, Demi shared:

“So excited to be Secret’s new @meanstinks ambassador!!! #gangupforgood.”

Of course, it isn’t surprising that Demi wants to help the cause. She herself experienced extreme bullying as a tween. She explained:

“I had a really tough time when I was in middle school. People would write ‘hate petitions’ [about me] and send them around to be signed. They’d have CD-bashing parties of my demos. They’d come to my house, stand across the street and yell things. It was a very emotional time for me, and all I wanted to do was get away.”

It’s good to know that she’s using her bad experiences for a good cause! You go, Demi!

Bangs are Back! Demi Lovato Shows Off New Do

Looks like Demi Lovato is pulling a Miley  with her new ‘do!

The young X Factor judge debuted her new hairstyle on Tuesday night. But no, it’s not a different color, but rather a different cut. This time, she has full-on bangs!

Demi tweeted, probably while she was listening to Eminem: 

“Guess what’s back, back, back, back again….. BANGS are back, back, back tell your friends….”

Though her “special swirls” might be gone for a while, surely we should give Demi a pat on the back for hopping on the bandwagon of today’s hair trend! And surely, Miley is lovin’ her new ‘do.

Fox Reportedly on the Hunt for New Judges for American Idol’s 12th Season

It looks like American Idol is on a hunting spree for the newest Idol and for new judges to qualify them.

Along with Adam Lambert, Idol’s bosses are also considering Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, Katy Perry, and Will.I.Am to be the newest judges on the show according to some insiders. So, you might be wondering how many judges will there be this time, and who is most likely to snag a spot. One of the insiders spills:

“No one has signed any contracts yet, and producers are currently putting out feelers and setting up meetings to see who they can get. We won’t know if Randy [Jackson] and Steven [Tyler] are returning until they see who else is on board.”

Fox representatives refused to comment on the issue. The Idol bosses reportedly still want J.Lo back; however, the actress/singer hinted previously that she doesn’t want to return. And while they do love Randy and Steven, Fox would also like to have some fresh (and younger) judges, allegedly to compete with The X Factor, which recently snagged Britney Spears and Demi Lovato as judges.

Despite the absence of judges, auditions for the show’s 12th season are underway with producers calling the shots. With only three more cities to go, time is running out for Fox to decide on the latest and final list of judges!
