Demi Lovato Shared an Unedited Photo of Her Cellulite: 'I'm Tired of Being Ashamed'


Demi Lovato is ready for a new phase in her life—one in which she shares her most authentic self, in every sense of the word.

Lovato has never been one to keep quiet on matters that are important to her, of course, but a new extremely personal and powerful photo she posted on Instagram is one many women will be able to relate to. The photo is of Lovato in a bathing suit, completely unedited.

“This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited,” she wrote in the caption. “And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!! [sic] I’m just literally sooooo tired of being ashamed of my body, editing it (yes the other bikini pics were edited – and I hate that I did that but it’s the truth) so that others think I’m THEIR idea of what beautiful is, but it’s just not me.”

She goes on to explain why it’s important to her to shed the trappings of a Photoshopped world. “This is what I got. I want this new chapter in my life to be about being authentic to who I am rather than trying to meet someone else’s standards,” she wrote. “So here’s me, unashamed, unafraid and proud to own a body that has fought through so much and will continue to amaze me when I hopefully give birth one day.”

Lovato, who recently shot an episode of Will & Grace is happy with where her career—and life in general—is right now. “It’s such a great feeling to be back in tv/film while not stressing myself with a strenuous workout schedule before 14 hour days, or depriving myself from a real birthday cake rather than opting for watermelon & whip cream with candles because I was terrified of REAL cake and was miserable on some crazy diet shit,” she says.

She continues, “Anyway, here’s me, RAW, REAL! And I love me. And you should love you too! Now back to the studio.. I’m working on an anthem.. also. Just so everyone’s clear.. I’m not stoked on my appearance BUT I am appreciative of it and sometimes that’s the best I can do. I hope to inspire someone to appreciate their body today too. #nationalcelulliteday #celluLIT”

Several celebrities and friends of Lovato’s took to the comments section to praise the singer for speaking out. “Showing us YOU is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you Demi! Love you Mama!” wrote Ashley Graham. Hailey Bieber shared some flame emojis and added, “U LOOK INCREDIBLE.” The Bachelorette star Mike Johnson wrote, “Look at me like that again…love yaself.” And Lovato’s manager, Scooter Braun, said, “YOU did this. YOU. YOU are amazing…YOU are smart…you are beautiful… you are wonderful… you are brave…and you are kind. And I’m proud of YOU. Hell Im proud to know YOU! Bravo for loving YOU first and in turn inspiring millions.”

Demi Lovato Just Proved There's No Bad Blood Between Her and Taylor Swift


It’s not exactly surprising news, unfortunately, when two female pop stars are publicly pitted against each other. That’s pretty much a tale as old as time—and recently, both Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato have been on the receiving end of all sorts of speculation about their working relationships with other women in their field, including each other.

While rumors of a full-on feud might have been overblown, it’s been fairly clear that the two have not necessarily been buddy-buddy in recent years. Back in 2016, Lovato appeared to throw some shade at Swift in an interview with Glamour: “Don’t brand yourself a feminist if you don’t do the work,” she said at the time.

“To be honest, and this will probably get me in trouble, I don’t see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body,” she continued. “It’s kind of this false image of what people should look like. And what they should be like, and it’s not real.”

Then there was the Scooter Braun drama, where he purchased the masters to Swift’s earlier recordings. Swift was furious, but Lovato (a Braun client) defended him. More recently, fans thought Lovato was referencing Swift as the “reason” she didn’t attend the 2019 VMAs, which Swift opened. But the singer quickly shut that down on Twitter: “Btw.. I didn’t ‘shade’ anyone last night. My REASON for not going is because I’m literally living my dream being on Will & Grace rn so stop reaching thaaaaannnnkkssss.” (Lovato will appear in the final season of the NBC show’s reboot.)

But now, the two superstars are showing each other some genuine support with a couple Instagram shout-outs—and we’re here for it.

Lovato took to her Instagram Stories to praise the song “Cruel Summer” from Swift’s latest album, Lover. “Life’s too short for women not to support other women…especially when women release great music,” she continued. “Great job @taylorswift.”

Demi Lovato Just Responded to Claims She Shaded Taylor Swift by Skipping the VMAs


Demi Lovato was noticeably absent from the MTV VMAs on Monday, August 26, and when she wrote on Instagram that she skipped the awards ceremony “for a reason,” speculation began almost immediately. People started wondering if the message was a subtle dig at Taylor Swift, who opened the show and went on to win three awards. But Lovato stopped the rumor mill in its tracks with a follow-up story that instructed everyone to “stop reaching.”

Lovato revealed this morning that she was a no-show at the ceremony because she nabbed an exciting role on the final season of Will & Grace. After sharing the news, she was quick to dispel accusations that her original comment was directed at Swift. “Btw.. I didn’t ‘shade’ anyone last night. My REASON for not going is because I’m literally living my dream being on Will & Grace rn so stop reaching thaaaaannnnkkssss,” she wrote in one of her stories.

Fans may have started jumping to conclusions because Swift and Lovato do have somewhat of a fraught relationship. In 2016, Lovato seemingly knocked Swift’s early brand of feminism to Glamour, saying, “Don’t brand yourself a feminist if you don’t do the work.”

Lovato continued in that same interview, “To be honest, and this will probably get me in trouble, I don’t see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body. It’s kind of this false image of what people should look like. And what they should be like, and it’s not real.” (Swift famously had a “squad” of girlfriends a few years back.)

Things seemed to get tense again when the whole Swift-Scooter Braun drama went down earlier this summer. Lovato, who is Braun’s client, said on social media, ““I have dealt with bad people in the industry and Scooter is not one of them. He’s a good man.”

Still, despite what their past issues have been, Demi Lovato doesn’t want words put in her mouth. It sounds like she wants to spend her time celebrating her Will & Grace moment instead of entertaining gossip.

Who Is Kristian Haggerty, Demi Burnett’s Partner on Bachelor in Paradise?


If you thought Blake Horstmann’s love triangle (or actually, pentagon) was going to be the most talked-about storyline from this season of Bachelor in Paradise, think again.

Warning: Major spoilers ahead. If you don’t want to find out who Demi is dating on Bachelor in Paradise, it’s time to take a moment and say your goodbyes.

OK, let’s move on: Fan favorite Demi Burnett is about to make Bachelor history for being in the franchise’s first-ever same-sex relationship.

“I have kind of been seeing someone,” Demi tells former Bachelorette Hannah Brown during the premiere episode of season six. “Of course, plot twist, it happens to be a woman. It’s not something I need to label, so I feel like I don’t have to proclaim that I’m gay, I’m straight, I’m bisexual, I’m this. I just like who I like. It doesn’t matter who or what you are, it’s the person.”

Fans first learned of the 24-year-old’s relationship with a woman after ABC released this season’s trailer, which showed Demi kissing another woman. “I know that I love this girl. I’m just so happy that I found her,” she said in the clip. “I can definitely picture being with her for the rest of my life.”

But it’s been unclear who she’s referring to. So, we did a bit of digging to find out: The mystery woman that Demi was dating before Paradise is named Kristian Haggerty.

If you don’t recognize her, it’s probably because she’s never been on a Bachelor show before. That’s yet another first for Bachelor Nation: Instead of leaving the show to pursue her relationship with Kristian, Demi brings Kristian to Paradise.

Demi Burnett Came Out on ‘Bachelor in Paradise,’ and It Wasn’t a Total Disaster


Demi also came out to Tayshia Adams last night, and Tayshia offered, “I hate that you feel you have to hide behind such a strong shield and not be who you really want to be.” Obviously, we should be at a place where queer people shouldn’t have to worry about straight people blanching at the notion of same-sex love—but clearly, we’re not, and Demi was justified in being nervous to open up.

The show’s host, Chris Harrison spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about Demi’s storyline and admitted, “I’m not exactly sure how we would have embraced Demi’s situation in year’s past.” He added, “I am not so naïve as to think that dealing with a same-sex relationship is going to be this happy rainbow conversation and all of America is going to rejoice.” But ultimately, Harrison said they’ve “leaned on” the queer producers behind-the-camera to tell the story “properly.”

“I felt that I owed it to them and to everybody else in that community to do this right and to make it respectable,” he said. “To tell this story properly in their honor. I leaned on them and we all leaned on them to make sure they felt like this was being fairly and respectfully portrayed.”

In the episode, Demi also opened up to Derek Peth, who she’s been casually seeing on Paradise, about the woman she’s been dating—and still has feelings for—back home. He, too, happily surprised me. He never made any gross or reductive comments, something I always fear in telling straight men that I date women. Instead, he was so purely human in his response, fearing that Demi’s heart was somewhere else, regardless of the gender of that other person.

Peth asked, “How can you both consider that and me simultaneously? And have this be just as meaningful, if not, you know, potentially more?” Any BiP love triangle would’ve begged the same question. Derek’s no hero for treating a queer person like a person, but he did do his part in normalizing queerness on this show.

So far, BiP is nailing Demi’s storyline. However, I have to say I’d be interested to see what the reactions from both male and female contestants would’ve looked like had a man come out as bisexual on the show. Regardless, it’s a start—and I can’t wait for Demi’s girlfriend to show up and burn this heterosexual island to the ground.

Miley Cyrus Just Addressed the Rumor She Feuded With Demi and Selena During Their Disney Years


Let me take you back to 2009: Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez were all queens on Disney Channel, and there were rumors that they hated each other. Well, it was more so Cyrus versus Gomez and Lovato. There were opposing YouTube channels, squabbles over boys—all the makings of catfight fodder that fed tabloids for years.

But none of it was grounded in reality. Gomez confirmed as much in 2016, telling W magazine that she and Cyrus “never feuded.” And now Cyrus is echoing this sentiment. In a new interview with Capital FM, the Younger Now singer says there was never any competition between herself, Gomez, and Lovato. She mentioned this while defending these lyrics in her new song, “Cattitude”: “I love you Nicki, but I listen to Cardi.” Some fans thought these words were fueling the alleged feud between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, but Cyrus says they do just the opposite.

“I don’t think there is beef now anymore,” Cyrus told Capital FM in regards to the rappers. “I think that you’re allowed to enjoy two artists who fill a similar lane.”

Just like fans can enjoy Cyrus’ music and Gomez’s and Lovato’s. “I just always grew up collaborating with Selena [Gomez] and Demi [Lovato], and there was never competition. Ariana [Grande] is one of my best friends,” she said.

Listen to Cyrus explain this for yourself in the clip, below.

Miley Cyrus further proved squashed any beef by posting pics from her concert over the weekend and captioning them, “I love you Selena but I listen to Demi” and “I love you me but I listen to Ari”

And in March, she uploaded this video of her and Gomez rocking out at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards:

So it’s safe to say there was never any actual drama between these women. Just people looking it, which, sadly, is nothing new.
