Demi Lovato: A Role Model For Young Girls?

theends — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 05:12:22 +0000

"There was nobody there for me to look at and say this is unhealthy. I want to be that for a 13-year old girl deciding whether or not to eat dinner, or an 18-year-old girl deciding whether or not to keep her breakfast down." - Demi Lovato

Her "emotional and physical issues" are well-documented, but rather than hide from them, the Disney starlet wants to be a role model because of them.

Say what now?

Demi Lovato, 19, who used to cut herself and who has battled eating disorders, taped an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show scheduled to air Tuesday.

She says she wants to be "outspoken" and freely talk about her "issues" because when she grew up, she "was dealing with the pressures to be thin."

"It was the time in the tabloids when very, very skinny girls were on the cover of every magazine, and that's what I was looking up to," she says.

"That's what I had to idolize. I don't want that for young girls."

While she calls her old life a "mess," right now, it is what it is.

In fact, at this point, she's actually grateful for her "meltdown."

"So many things were going great in my life, and then all of a sudden my personal life just went down at crazy speeds," the "Skyscraper" singer says.

"I had a negative breakdown and it changed my life forever."

"But if I hadn’t gone into treatment," she continues, "I don't know if, one, I'd even be sitting here today, [or] two, if I'd even be alive today."

We're so grateful that she is, and hope that young people can take what she says very seriously. It's good that she's up front about her past, don't you think?

Hey There, Young Fellows

theends — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 20:08:49 +0000

The weather outside was pure Northeast, but inside the Frick Collection last night, we were in Morocco—OK, El Morocco, to be precise. To mark its 75th anniversary, the uptown museum's Young Fellows invited about 600 bright young things to party like it was 1935 amid a backdrop meant to evoke New York nightclubs of yore. There were classic hors d'oeuvres (shrimp cocktails, deviled quail eggs), Lucite-topped bars, and planters of orchids and palm leaves. No swing dancing here, though: "This is the Young Fellows, not the old fellows," explained Caitlin Davis, as some of her fellow committee members tested their Vera Wang gowns with some twenty-first-century bumping and bending in the Music Room next door. (Wang, who co-sponsored with Tiffany & Co., was reportedly still in Vancouver.) Billed as the Diamond Deco Ball, this soirée was scattered with rocks, turbans, and bias-cut dresses—not to mention guests who weren't going to let a little blizzard get in the way of their important social duties. Said Lauren Remington Platt, who'd been at two parties before this one: "What weather? I'm going around with my boots and a plastic bag." Jewelry designer Lisa Salzer, meanwhile, had arrived in a stretch limo. "It was all the car service had left," she said. "But it feels like prom!"
