Demi Lovato is on the cover of You Magazine, make an excellent addition to a wonderful interview Photoshoot gave you left it below:
Having won fame with a star of the original Disney, Demi Lovato shocked Hollywood suddenly giving input on a site license. She tells Elaine Lipworth as she confronts her demons - and she poured out his emotional pain on her new album.
Hollywood interviews occur in a lush setting of one of the best hotels in Los Angeles, but in a refreshing contrast, I am meeting with the pop star, 19, Demi Lovato, the tropical garden of a house (which belongs to the owner of a local vintage clothing store) in the heart of Topanga Canyon, a few miles from Malibu and the Pacific Ocean. Demi, who lives with his family in nearby Sherman Oaks, floating in a series of stone steps in a flowing maxi skirt and animal print bra top teamed with a cut of the shirt (and six inch heels platform!) Home guest which combines the meeting.
It is an exceptional morning gray neblinada without the usual shine the light of Southern California, the landscape has an ethereal quality that suits dimmed around us and with the delicious nutty hippie-Demi. Surrounded by his team - including two of his record label publicists, her makeup artist, hairdresser and stylist - Demi looks sophisticated and comfortable with all the attention, but his aura of confidence contrasts with the difficult experiences she had to go.
A little less than two years, seemed to be leading a wonderful life. The star had a healthy aspect of the popular Disney series, "Sonny With a Chance", which aired in the sky, a burgeoning film career (Camp Rock and its sequel), and two successful albums. His personal life seems equally fabulous: she was dating teen heartthrob Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers model boy band. Then in October 2010, came the startling revelation that behind the glossy front, Demi was a deeply disturbed young woman suffering from an eating disorder in the former.
"I was very upset and depressed for a while, but I could never say that I needed help," says the young talent.Demi went to rehab after admitting she was bulimic and self-maimed had for years. What the artist called "background" was in a very public crisis during a South American tour with the Jonas Brothers (at the time that she and Joe had finished). In a private plane from Colombia to Peru, the singer hit dancer Alex Welch. "I was upset and confused and completely embarrassed," said Demi, which does not specify the cause of the attack.
"I was so embarrassed. Not only had to pay the consequences in front of people around me, but in front of the world. I opened the game when I knock on the girl. Before that, my mother did not know exactly how serious was. She said, 'Why did you do that?' I said, 'Because I'm tired' and had to wake up and see who needed help. My mother was very worried. She could not believe her daughter was so ill. "Demi flew to the residential treatment center Timberline Knolls in Chicago, spent three months in a program that says saved his life. "I was very sick, but luckily I got the help he needed," says Demi discreetly."And I am here today, and I hope to help girls make the same things I did for myself."
It is a bold step to take. "I know I have a voice and can be used for good or ill. This is a gift from God. I knew I could share my experience and be useful or not to tell anyone and be like the rest of Hollywood and hide my secrets . I would not do that "
said Demi, who was raised in a Baptist church and is now a nondenominational Christian.
Unlike other Disney child stars have had continuous problems (Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan come to mind), Demi is clearly taking his early life with his powerful new album Unbroken, already a hit in the U.S.. States .. (His previous album, Do not Forget and Here We Go Again were also successes.) Unbroken include "Skyscraper" to the slopes of emotional ballads and some touching personal. "Fix a Heart", singing "I ended Up With Wounds to bind ... and I just ran out of Band-Aids.". "This is a break," says Demi. "She talks about damage Bandar - I was going through the self-mutilation."
"It was my way of exposing my innermost secrets," he continues. The album includes a song in particular, Frank, "For The Love of a Daughter" on Demi's complicated relationship with his father (Patrick and Dianna's parents divorced when she was a child). She sings about a "war within the family" and his feelings of disappointment, "How can you out of your world are his flesh and blood?"
"It's a very personal song. Oh father, please father, put the bottle down ..." The lyrics are easy to understand about my relationship with my estranged father that I speak for five years. I wrote when I was 16 years and release it as a therapy. "
Demi stir the sugar in a paper cup of coffee. "I was born with an eating disorder, because I never had a relationship with food that was normal."
"I remember looking in the mirror diapers thinking, 'you're fat, change it," said Demi
who believes that, contrary to speculation, the root of their problems had nothing to do with the pressures of spending much of his childhood in front of the camera.
"I started eating the world when I was about eight years, I was a compulsive eater. I roasted a whole plate of cookies and eat them all. So when I turned 12 I suffered bullying at school and called me fat. I spent a glutton for which he stopped eating and lost about 13 kg. Since then I continueia eat less, but my weight has stabilized. "
Anorexia Bulimia became: "I started to vomit to lose weight." Demi tells his story with remarkable candor, but also an air of indifference. Armed with a wealth of scientific and psychological information about your condition, I think a brilliant woman and a young brave who had to grow up too fast.
Part of Mexico, part-Italian with a little Irish blood too, the first part of Demi's childhood was spent in Texas with his mother, older sister Dallas and stepfather, Eddie De La Garza, who also has half sister of 10 years, Madison, serving as Juanita Solis in Desperate Housewives. Despite the divorce of their parents and eating disorders, Demi describes his childhood - in general - so happy?
"Of course. My stepfather gave me a great childhood. Play outside the house like a normal child, I went to my bike, I went to school, but the happiest hours were when I was acting."
With a natural talent for acting like a child, took piano lessons and her career began in earnest at age seven. "I started participating in beauty pageants and acting.
had to be in the spotlight, I knew I wanted to be a little superstar, "Demi says without a trace of arrogance or false modesty. She played many roles on television before his big break in 2008 with the Disney movie Camp Rock . "It was exciting to get the role. I was extremely blessed. "
Educated at home because of bullying, the family moved from Texas to Los Angeles when Demi was 15. As his career took off with the film Camp Rock, another Disney - Princess Protection Program - and his musical career, addictive behavior intensified.
"It was just a matter of handling situations and hide - you very intelligent and very quiet. The difficult part of this disease is to start lying to the people around them and become someone you're not. Is scary . "To compound their eating disorder, the troubled teen was cut. "I started when I was 12 when I suffered harassment. Was my way of coping with stress and then, often resorted to when I felt overwhelmed. Girls [who self-mutilate] to scratch or cut themselves with razors, scissors or sharp objects, or burning. I tried everything. My main goal was cut and it was horrible. Definitely yes medicava with drugs and alcohol.'d be lying if I said no, "he adds.
At a time when Demi went to rehab, she was desperate and willing to change your life. "The key is that you have to want it. The problem with a lot of celebrities is to go to rehab, but did not get the time. I wanted to go home after 30 days, but I said '. No, not improved "was for 14 hours every day of therapy. It was fun. There were seven sessions in the morning until nine at night: Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, anorexics and bulimics anonymous and anonymous self-mutilators. "[For those addicted, like Demi, all meetings are important, whatever their personal vices.]" It was an emotional and exhausting constant until the end of the day, all I wanted to do was sleep. "
What helped, she says, would be among women of all ages and from all walks of life.
"It was very humiliating. I was used to waking up in hotels with room service for breakfast each morning and keep my room clean. Now he had to make my own bed."
"I was not allowed to go to the bathroom alone because they were afraid that I threw up, and not allow me to have razor blades, so I had hairy legs," he laughs. "And we had cell phones."
Today she has her "roommate" Sarah with her, a "companion" of recovery, which also experienced problems of dependence and follows the same program. Its function is to support Demi in the recovery process and promote a healthy lifestyle. "She is living with us, she looks at me and makes sure to eat three meals a day," says Demi.
Inevitably, one of the most challenging aspects of the rehabilitation was to learn to eat normally. "The morning breakfast was at 8:30, a bowl of cereal with milk and yogurt or fruit. Lunch was a sandwich, salad and fruit or vegetables. Dinner can be macaroni and cheese with some vegetables and milk. I cried many times because I was terrified at having to eat three meals a day. I said, 'No, that's a lot of food. "I started eating just to go home. I do not know what did work, but I realized that I just wanted out of my eating disorder. "
"Now I can eat many foods, and not to pull over. Definitely there is a temptation - a meal to fight him. It is an addiction and I will have to fight him for the rest of my life," Demi continues . "There is no cure and can make mistakes, but I want to be a better model for my fans and my younger sister. There are days when I look in the mirror and think, 'God, my jeans do not fit today - is a shit. "But I'm at a much more spiritual. I pray and I have a great support system around me "
This support comes from family and friends, including Kim Kardashian star of Disney and other artists like Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, who was kept in constant contact, while Demi was in rehab.
"They called me and kept the inspection and I never forgot that. Now make sure I'm doing well. Of all the people in the world, are the three that are really close to me."
Demi also help in recovering from her ex-boyfriend, actor Wilmer Valderrama, who was recently separated (Does he served as the U.S. sitcom That '70s Show). When asked about it, however, Demi hesitate before saying, "I like to keep my love life out of it. Learned not public tornae a relationship because in the end would be 20 times harder"
She said she has a better idea of what you want in a boyfriend. "I come with baggage," he says with a wry smile. "I've been through a lot and I need someone who will be there for me at any time of day or night, and do not be afraid of my eating disorder and the recovery process. I want a man who will be strong. "
As we speak, looks beautiful clothes and sighs at the prospect of testing the clothing of our session. "I have no mood for that. My recovery is still a work in progress, they say that body image is the last thing to change, and still with the battalion of every day. But I definitely have much more confidence than it does a year. "Actually, she looks beautiful. Good, but not too thin, her face free of makeup and her skin is clear, with a healthy glow.
She is wearing lots of jewelry and there are tattoos that cover the scars of wounds itself in recent years. "I have nine or ten years," she says, extending his arms to show me. On his wrists are the words Stay Strong (one each). "I have 'Piece' (peace), 'Rock and Roll' on my fingers," Faith "(faith) in the arm, cross in hand, feathers in the ribs and a pen behind his ear."
Demi does not face a return to acting.
"I know I could be in a fragile state of mind if I go back in front of the camera, I'm not sure enough. The camera adds about 5 pounds and I feel I have many tattoos now to return to the screen. I want to act again if they can find a way to cover my tattoos and one day I would love to be respected as an actress. "For now, music is his approach: "When you're on stage singing, you're away from people, you are not close and very liberating." Their goal is "winning a Grammy" and, interestingly, cited superstar Pop Rihanna as his model. Like Demi, singer of 23 years had its own difficulties. Rihanna was the victim of domestic violence, but since the end of her abusive relationship with musician Chris Brown three years ago, became a global phenomenon. "I know of Rihanna, but we talked on the phone and want to know. I love her attitude, she is sexy and confident. She went through a lot and came out strong. I like to have the caliber of Rihanna and I hope one day to get there . I would love to duet with her! "
