Demi Lovato has had a difficult year

Demi Lovato was treated for bipolar disorder during her three-month stay in rehab earlier this year.

The Disney star, 18, says she was diagnosed with manic-depression shortly after checking in to the clinic.

'I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar,' says Demi.

'Looking back it makes sense. There were times when I was so manic, I was writing seven songs in one night and I'd be up until 5.30am in the morning.'

Demi, who says she's 'battled depression from a young age', left rehab in January and has since had the words Stay Strong inked on her wrist. 

'I feel like I am in control now where my whole life I wasn't in control,' she tells People.

'What's important for me now is to help others.'

Demi Tweeted yesterday: 'I'm so overwhelmed with all of the support you guys are sending my way.. Unbelievable.. I love each and everyone of you.. Thank you.'

Thomas Dekker Opens Up About His Open Sexuality

thomas dekker opens up about open sexuality

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fans of all genders, rejoice! When it comes to relationships, Thomas Dekker is open to anything.

The Terminator: TSCC/Heroes/Nightmare on Elm Street actor opened up about his sexuality during a recent interview and had the following to say about it:

"I've only really had relationships with women, but I'm certainly not closed to it. If there are possibilities of being able to do anything in life, why would you say you would never take any up?"

"In the later chunk of my teen years I was so all over the place with sex. It was terrible. I never really had a real relationship at all. During puberty, it's all about sex, and it's all about figuring yourself out. I think I overdid it when I was younger."

So there you have it, folks! Thomas Dekker is officially an equal opportunity free agent!

Are U excited to hear about Dekker's open sexuality?

Lauren Bush Laughs About Her Potential Married Name: Lauren Lauren

Lauren Bush Wedding

When she met David Lauren on a rainy New York night in April of 2004, the last thing on model Lauren Bush?s mind was how their names might sound together if they married. But now, seven years later, the two are engaged, and the 26-year-old is facing the fact that she?ll soon be Lauren Lauren. ?Out of all the people I could?ve met and fallen in love with,? she jokes in the May issue of Harper?s Bazaar. ?It?s just ironic that David would end up with someone named Lauren.? So how to solve the problem? ?I think it will be Lauren Bush-Lauren,? she says. ?That?s not final, but I think it?s nice to have the same name as your husband. I am sort of old-fashioned in that way.? Luckily for Bush ? granddaughter and niece of former presidents George H.W. and George W. Bush, respectively ? the task of finding a wedding dress designer was easy: she just had to ask her future father-in-law, Ralph Lauren. While fashion falls to the groom?s side of the family, Lauren, who started modeling in high school, has established a style career of her own. She co-founded FEED Projects while studying at Princeton in 2005, and since, has designed wildly popular totes (and collaborated on items like high-end clutches) which have provided more than 58 million meals for needy children in nearly 75 countries. On top of that, she launched an eco-friendly clothing line, Lauren Pierce Atelier, in 2008, as well. So where does she get her passion for fashion? From her grandmother, former first lady Barbara Bush. ?She has always paid attention to fashion,? Bush says. ?She is a very assertive grandma; she?ll let you know if she likes what you?re wearing or not.? The May issue of Harper?s Bazaar hits stands April 26. ?Kate Hogan

Lindsay Lohan Signs On to Play Kim Gotti!

Just hours after reports nixed her as a candidate to play Victoria Gotti, Lindsay Lohan has been confirmed to have landed a role in the upcoming "Gotti" pictures.

The "Mean Girls" starlet inked a two film deal to portray mafia honcho John Gotti Jr.'s wife, Kim Gotti, in both "Gotti: Three Generations" and "Gotti: Mob Street"

Bringing the news of LiLo's addition, Executive Producer Marc Fiore told, "We're very pleased to have Lindsay on-board for both of these films. She has been very enthusiastic about the Gotti project, and after resuming discussions with her, we were impressed by her commitment to the film and felt she would be a perfect Kim Gotti."

Talking to the AP about her new gig, Lindsay said, "I'm really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do. I think it's such an iconic story. I'm honored to be working with John Travolta and Joe Pesci."

American Idol Recap: James Durbin Takes on Kate Hudson's Baby Daddy

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

It kinda sucked to be anybody but James Durbin tonight.

The multi-octave rocker, who matched Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy high note for high note?and then some?on a cover of the British band's "Uprising," was deemed the best performer of the night.

And he went second.

So how did the other six poor schlubs do on a performance night dedicated to tunes recorded since 2000?

Young Scotty McCreery, still only 17 despite the convincing maturity in his country-made voice, trotted out yet another perfectly fine song?John Anderson's "Swingin'" (covered by LeAnn Rimes last year)?but this time he was taken to task a bit for playing it too safe.

Not so much James, who, unlike Paul McDonald, knows how to pull off a flamboyant coat. With the help of an alt-rock marching band and plenty of fog, he made for quite the spectacle, prompting Jennifer Lopez to "go out on a limb" and guess that he would have the best performance of the night.

Randy Jackson joined her on that limb and noted that Bellamy?who was in the audience a few weeks ago with baby mama Kate Hudson?had emailed James to tell him that, if he sang "Uprising," he needed to really go for it with the final verse.

"Matt, I know you're gonna hear this," Randy said, "but he slayed it!" (Actually, upon a second listen, it was a little shrieky, but James couldn't be beat as far as spectacle went.)

"You stay out of my closet now," warned Steven Tyler.

Haley Reinhart took another type of risk, one the judges seemed to appreciate but might not pay off as far as votes are concerned. She covered Adele's relatively new tune "Rolling in the Deep," a fabulous song but one that's all over the charts and radio now, meaning that's the version people care about.

Jacob Lusk, meanwhile, assured that the tears would be rolling every which way by taking on Luther Vandross' "Dance With My Father," winner of the Grammy for Song of the Year in 2004.

But was Jacob too emotional to sing it cleanly?

"That's one of the tricks of being a performer...You have to have enough control," lamented Jennifer, who compared Jacob to Vandross earlier in the season.

Casey Abrams, who can always be counted on to go way out there (Nat King Cole, anyone?), actually reined it in this week?but just the right amount, going contemporary again with Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe." And, in our opinion, his hard-rocking version was grittier and more interesting than the original.

Not to mention, he blew J.Lo away with that smooch on the cheek at the end.

Randy Jackson joined her on that limb and noted that Bellamy?who was in the audience a few weeks ago with baby mama Kate Hudson?had emailed James to tell him that, if he sang "Uprising," he needed to really go for it with the final verse.

"Matt, I know your'e gonna hear this," Randy said, "but he slayed it!"

"You did what I've been trying to do for four months!" cried Steven. And then both he and Randy agreed that Casey is "so f--king good."

"You just kissed the most beautiful woman in all the world!" marveled Ryan Seacrest, who was sporting the fake Casey beard that the 20-year-old's fellow contestants had donned for preshow interviews.

"This is what it feels like to be a man?" the host joked, rubbing his naked chin as Casey took the liberty of peeling off Ryan's beard.

Alas, Stefano Langone didn't get the memo about ill-advised covers of Usher, Rihanna and other pop-R&B superstars. He went with Ne-Yo's "Closer," and it was rather unbearable.

"No one can say you weren't all up in it," offered Steven, while Jennifer said, "Speaking for all the girls in the audience, I thought it was very, very good."

How about speaking for all the judges on the panel, J.Lo?

Lauren Alaina closed things out with Sara Evans' "Born to Fly," which sounded perfectly lovely and presumably her fans will really love it. But, as the case was with the country singer who came before her tonight, the judges persuaded Lauren to push herself further next time.

"I don't think she even knows how good she really is," Randy said. "You can do anything."

Will she have the chance to do anything next week? If not Lauren (and probably not Lauren), who sang a swan song tonight? The field will be slashed to six tomorrow night following performances by David Cook and Katy Perry.

The Middletons get their own emblem

Kate Middleton | Celebrity Gossip | Pictures | Photos | Gallery

Kate Middleton will marry Prince William at Westminster Abbey on 29 April

The Middleton family's coat of arms was officially unveiled yesterday - 10 days before Kate Middleton marries Prince William.

The emblem, which cost £4,400, was commissioned by her dad Michael and a special version will be printed on the back of the souvenir Royal Wedding programme. 

As suggested by Kate, 29, the design features 3 acorn sprigs to signify the 3 Middleton children.

She chose acorns because they grow to be oaks - a tree that symbolises strength, England and west Berkshire, where the family live.

Dominating the arms is an inverted gold V, which represents Kate's mum Carole - whose maiden name is Goldsmith - as the heart of the family. 

The design also features white chevrons to symbolise mountains - reflecting the family's love of skiing - and the Lake District.

A tied ribbon, which represents Kate's unmarried status, completes the emblem.

Following the Royal Wedding on 29 April, Kate's coat of arms will be combined with her husband Prince William's family emblem.

  • Lindsay Lohan will not be playing Victoria Gotti after all.

    Just last week, when Lohan showed up at a New York press conference for the film, starring John Travolta, producer Marc Fiore confirmed that he was in talks with Lohan, whom he called "a terrific actress."

    Now, he is saying the talks are off and LiLo is no longer in the running for the role.

    "She is no longer being considered," he tells People.com. "We are going to meet with other people."

    His only explanation as to why: "She's a wonderful person," he tells People. "Her legal case has nothing to do with it. We just couldn't reach terms."

    To TMZ, he said of the negotiations: "I will only ride a merry-go-round with my kids."
