Ever since Demi Lovato checked into rehab last week there has been a bunch of rumors flying around about the real reason, most of them hinted that the blind items about her having a love affair with coke is true. Here is another one to add to the pile.
Brian Payne, a college student in Texas, tells Life & Style magazine that when he was at a party he was shocked at how much coke Demi snorted in one night. He says…
“She was doing line after line like a pro – and she was 17 at the time, “I just remember her doing it [cocaine] as if she had been doing it for a long time, it didn’t seem like something new to her.”
Another source says that ever since breaking up with Joe Jonas her partying has gotten even worse and she has been hitting the drink and drugs hard.
Now I’m not saying there is any truth to these rumors, the kid could just be saying this stuff for money but with all the blind items and then her checking into rehab you do start to wonder has another Disney chick gone down the rocky road.

Comic book artist Jeffrey Scott Campbell usually works on drawing up Superheroes and creating characters for video games, to switch it up he has decided to do a piece on Disney princess’s and they aren’t your average Disney characters.
Campbell drew up the likes of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Tinkerbell but instead of making them all cute like Disney does, he made them more grown up and sexier.
One one hand this is kinda cool but on the other hand it’s also kinda disturbing and freaky. It would make a fun calendar to buy though.
Disney’s Hannah Montana says that she currently working on her “last pop album” and wants to be “edgier” in the future.
Miley Cyrus recently spoke with the British morning show GMTV and stated:
“I kinda want this to be my last record for a little while and … take a break. In a few years, as I grow up, so will my fans, I’ll be able to have more of the sound of music that I’m into.”
Miley has been showing signs of “growing up” for quite some time now, from her pole dance at the Teen Choice Awards in August to the recent photos showing the “just breathe” tattoo below her left breast that has people screaming in indignation.
I for one can’t wait to see the new grown up version of Miley Cyrus. I also enjoy stories of devastating accidents and fatal train wrecks.

All this festive atmosphere that goes around at the time for Christmas always makes me pull out my favorite childhood movies. Which is why I was happy to see Rotten Tomatoes had come up with a list of the top 50 Disney movies of all time based on the number of reviews and release year of the movies. They also excluded movies that came from Disney affiliate companies such as Pixar.
10. Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Critics Consensus: This Disney dreamscape contains moments of grandeur, with its lush colors, magical air, one of the most menacing villains in the Disney canon.
09. Cinderella (1950)
Critics Consensus: The rich colors, sweet songs, adorable mice and endearing (if suffering) heroine make Cinderella a nostalgically lovely charmer.
08. Aladdin (1992)
Critics Consensus: A highly entertaining entry in Disney’s “second golden age,” Aladdin is beautifully drawn, with near-classic songs and a cast of scene-stealing characters.
07. The Lion King (1994)
Critics Consensus: Emotionally stirring, richly drawn, and beautifully animated, The Lion King stands tall within Disney’s pantheon of classic family films.
06. Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Critics Consensus: Enchanting, sweepingly romantic, and featuring plenty of wonderful musical numbers, Beauty and the Beast is one of Disney’s most elegant animated offerings.
05. Dumbo (1941)
Critics Consensus: Dumbo packs plenty of story into its brief runtime, along with all the warm animation and wonderful music you’d expect from a Disney classic.
04. 101 Dalmatians (1961)
Critics Consensus: With plenty of pooches and a memorable villain (Cruella De Vil), this is one of Disney’s most enduring, entertaining animated films.
03. Fantasia (1940)
Critics Consensus: A landmark in animation (and a huge influence on the medium of music video), Disney’s Fantasia is a relentlessly inventive blend of the classics with phantasmagorical images.
02. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Critics Consensus: With its involving story and characters, vibrant art, and memorable songs, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs set the animation standard for decades to come.
01. Pinocchio (1940)
Critics Consensus: Ambitious, adventurous, and sometimes frightening, Pinocchio arguably represents the pinnacle of Disney’s collected works — it’s beautifully crafted and emotionally resonant.
The Lion King should be up there at number 1, what’s your favorite Disney movie of all time? To see the full list of movies head to the source.
Did you see this years Teen Choice Awards? If so then you may have seen Miley Cyrus doing a little bit of pole dancing while singing “Party In The USA”
During the performance Miley jumped on top of an ice cream cart and then on a pole attached, showed off her pole dancing skills.
This as you can imagine has gone down badly with critics and parents of her young fans who are all giving out hell.
Wendi Fischer, a child psychologist, says “she’s sending this message that this is ‘OK’ to do, and I don’t think it is OK to do, Miley’s only 16. Why is she rushing it?”
But like Us Magazine’s senior editor, Ian Drew, points out – we should have all seen this happening. He says, “she already has this risque image, so it really wasn’t much of a stretch, that’s how Britney Spears took off. She was the good girl gone bad, and it looks to be working for Miley as well.”
Fox (who broadcast the TCA’s) and Miley’s record label both refused to comment on it. Disney however said “Disney Channel won’t be commenting on that performance, although parents can rest assured that all content presented on the Disney Channel is age-appropriate for our audience – kids 6-14 – and consistent with what our brand values are.”
Ed Norwick, who owns stripclub Scores in New York said “while Miley did show off some skills, we at SCORES cannot encourage this kind of behavior for women under the legal age.”
So what do you think, is it all fine for Miley Cyrus to be doing this or is she sending the wrong message to her fans? Either way, I agree with Ian Drew - we all should have expected something like this.
We were just informed of a raunchy photo that just hit the internet and we’re reluctant to think that it’s the Disney star, Miley Cyrus. Or, at least we hope it’s not.
Of course we had to censor the photo, she’s underage people — and we haven’t received any kind of confirmation as to the identity of the individual in question. If you can’t tell what she’s doing, then that’s on you.
I can understand someone wanting to walk away from their obligations as a Disney star, but this is just too much.
