Did Wilmer Valderrama screw with Demi Lovato’s fragile mind too?

There are few people I find as disgusting as Wilmer Valderrama. In my humble opinion, Wilmer is an even bigger, grosser, more disgusting douche than John Mayer. Mayer lets his douche flag fly high, and women know what they’re getting with him, and to his credit, Mayer’s female prey are usually women who are old enough to know what’s up. Not so much with Wilmer – he’s got a real thing for jailbait starlets, the younger and virginal the better. Wilmer likes really young, really inexperienced girls, and I don’t think he always waits for them to come of age. I always thought that he didn’t wait for Lindsay Lohan to turn 18 years old, and once he got what he wanted – a nubile young girl who was so inexperienced, she thought his dong was magic – he moved on to the next jailbait piece. And then the next one, and the next one.

It’s one of those nest ones that we’ll discuss today. According to Page Six, Wilmer’s last jailbait piece was none other than Demi Lovato. Yeah… that makes total sense:

Following a breakup with Joe Jonas, Demi Lovato clung to an older actor, Wilmer Valderrama. Before the Disney star entered a facility for “emotional and physical” issues, sources said Lovato, 18, introduced pals to the “That ’70s Show” star as her boyfriend.

Valderrama, 30, first connected with Lovato when they filmed a public-service spot together in Chile for earthquake relief in March, around the time she announced her relationship with Jonas.

“The two started seeing each other in May right after her breakup with Jonas,” a source on the tour said. “She would show us pictures of them together.”

Another source said Valderrama has been a big part of Lovato’s life leading right up to her decision to seek treatment. Meanwhile, Jonas has been dating “Twilight” star Ashley Greene. Lovato’s rep had no comment while Valderrama’s rep denied a relationship.

Is it the young thing, or is the screwed up thing, or is it the vulnerable thing? Or is it a little bit of everything, brewed in a toxic stew that is catnip to a predator like Wilmer? Ugh. He’s so disgusting. His photo should be passed out in middle schools around the country and every little girl should be told “Do Not Ever Hit It With This Monster.”

Michael Lohan threatens Demi Lovato’s dad, tells him to stop talking to the press

wenn3056933
Abusive ex con Michael Lohan has exacted revenge on two of his ex girlfriends by selling nude photos of them to websites. He’s similarly sold and released secretly recorded phone calls with those women, with his then-friend Jon Gosselin, and with his daughter Lindsay begging and crying for help. He’s done all that in addition to holding various press conferences about Lindsay. So it’s more than ripe that Lohan is calling out Demi Lovato’s dad for some very benign comments he made about how cute she was as a little girl and how he agrees that the pressure must have gotten to her. Lohan also threatened Demi’s dad with bodily harm if he talks about Lindsay at all. I have no idea why he’s doing that, and I’ve gone over Demi’s dad’s three interviews on Radar Online as well as some minor comments he made to Access Hollywood and not once does Lindsay’s name come up. What the hell?

Demi’s dad is battling cancer and just completed two months of treatment in the hospital, so it’s pretty despicable that Michael Lohan is threatening to send him there again when he never even mentioned Lindsay. Here’s more.

Despite receiving death threats, Demi Lovato’s estranged father Patrick Lovato refuses to back down from his controversial comments — blaming the temptations of Hollywood for his Disney star daughter’s stint in rehab.

“This is the United States of America, I can talk anytime I want to,” Patrick told RadarOnline when asked if Disney’s lawyers and Demi’s mother, Dianna, had demanded that he stop talking about his daughter’s problems.

Patrick’s relationship with Demi has been strained since he and Dianna divorced in 1994 and has only gotten worse. Now, Michael Lohan, who has a long track record of talking to the media about his own daughter, is offering advice from one dad to another.

“There are two reasons why I have no respect for people who talk or comment about others,” Michael tells me. “First, it’s because, in most cases, those individuals are looking from the outside in, and they are passing judgment or commenting on people they know nothing about. The second reason is because they are too cowardly to say it to the person themselves.”

And Mr. Lovato better think twice before comparing Demi and Lindsay, Lohan warns.

“I ask Demi Lavato’s [sic] father to refrain from making asinine statements about my daughter, or say it to my face himself,” Lohan says. “And if so, I will pay for the transportation and his hospital bills

[From Popeater]

If anyone can find any statement where Demi Lovato’s dad made any reference to Lindsay, please comment with a link. As it is, it just sounds like Michael Lohan is picking on another estranged dad of a famous troubled daughter who is trying to use his past relationship for some cash and press. It’s like Lohan think he’s cornered the market on that racket and is going to take down anyone who tries to step in. He even sold the photos and story of his “private” reunion with Lindsay to Radar Online – right after holding a press conference saying he wouldn’t reveal any more details to the press. Pathetic.

Michael Lohan is shown on 10/19/10 and 10/6/10. Is he back with Kate Major after abusing her and releasing nude photos of her? Her self esteem must be in the gutter.

People: Demi Lovato flipped out on a snitch who told on her

We’ve heard several general stories about Demi Lovato’s airport meltdown, in which she was involved in some kind of scuffle with a female backup dancer and allegedly screamed at Ashley Greene, who has been dating her ex boyfriend, Joe Jonas. Demi, 18, then went off to rehab, which her people are calling “treatment” for “emotional issues” and not drugs. People Magazine now has a whole follow up with specific details of that incident that sound straight from Demi’s camp. They adamantly deny that Ashley Greene was involved at all, probably because Ashley hates to be associated with Demi and is oh-so-much better than she is. This is a good PR strategy in my opinion because they give information about Demi’s motive and what prompted the fight without telling us what she did exactly to the other girl. (i.e. pull hair, scratch, shout obscenities. I’m just guessing here.) Here’s People’s report:

What really caused Demi Lovato to enter treatment?

The catalyst was a fight between the 18-year-old Disney Channel star and a dancer on the Jonas Brothers world tour, but the problem started the night before, a source close to the singer’s family tells PEOPLE.

“As she did on most nights off, Demi invited her band, dancers and her parents to dinner,” says the source. “Afterward, she broke off with a very small group.”

The following day, tour managers and Lovato’s stepfather, Eddie De La Garza, questioned the group’s conduct. According to a source close to the situation, the group had been partying.

“When tour management found out about this, they talked to the people involved, including Demi,” says the source. “Demi reacted badly and perceived that someone on tour had told on her.”

When Lovato and other tour members were on an airplane that same day, Lovato confronted a young dancer, whom she thought might have been the one to blame for telling on her. “There was a short, physical altercation,” says the source, adding that it was “one-sided.”

“Afterwards, Demi felt awful about her behavior and realized she needed to take personal responsibility for it,” says the family source. “Because of this, and because of the battles Demi has fought throughout her life, both she and her family realized she needed to take steps to get help immediately.”

The singer-actress “decided to seek medical care for her physical and emotional issues at a treatment center,” says the source, adding, “she is not in drug rehab.”

Contrary to published reports, Twilight star Ashley Greene, who is dating Lovato’s ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas, “played no role in this,” says a source close to the situation. Nor did the Jonas Brothers. “They were not involved in the incident,” says another source.

Adds a rep for Greene, “There was never an issue between Ashley and Demi, and there is no truth to any rumors about a conflict.”

[From People]

One very interesting thing about this story is that it was originally titled “Demi Lovato in Rehab: Why She Went.” (See the top of your browser when you’re on the site.) The title on the page was then changed to “Demi Lovato: Details of the Fight that Sent Her to Treatment.” Demi makes a lot of money for many people, and they want to minimize this incident and in no way taint her with the “rehab” label for years. They’re also trying to make it clear that she’s not on drugs, which may or may not be accurate.

Yesterday we mentioned that Demi’s estranged dad spoke to Radar Online about his daughter, and said that he believed the pressure from Hollywood had got to her. He told a story about when she was in preschool and I got the impression that he hadn’t seen her in years. (Demi’s mom and dad were divorced when she was two.) He also said he had cancer and had just gotten out of the hospital after two months of treatment, during which Demi never visited or called. The fact that her dad talked to the press is said to have enraged her handlers at Disney, and Demi’s lawyer issued a response:

No one speaks for Demi except for her designated representatives. Unfortunately, several people have taken it upon themselves to speak out — both on and off the record — about a situation they know nothing about.”

Again, this girl makes a lot of people money and they have to make her seem much more together than she obviously is.

Demi Lovato’s breakdown: was it over ex Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene?

Press Conference to announce the Nominations for The 2010 American Music Awards held at The JW Marriott Los Angeles at L.A. Live , California on October 12th, 2010. Demi Lovato                                               Fame Pictures, Inc
Outlets have more details of what may have prompted Demi Lovato to cancel her European tour with the Jonas Brothers and seek treatment/rehab after some kind of altercation with a backup dancer. Apparently it all went down in an airport and there are witnesses to the fight, along with news that Demi was also talking smack to Twilight star Ashley Greene, who happens to be dating Demi’s ex, Joe Jonas. Drama! Ashley subsequently tweeted some crap about “karma” and came across like she was gloating and being petty, which seems typical for her.

A source tells E! News that Demi Lovato has struggled with bulimia, and it is among one of her emotional and physical issues. Two years ago, photos surfaced of her with suspicious marks on her wrist while she attended Miley Cyrus’ birthday party. At the time, her rep tried to shoot down the notion that it was self-mutilation, blaming it on candy jewelry…

But family sources say Lovato has indeed cut herself in the past.

However, things came to a breaking point in recent months.

“On tour [this summer] they were calling her ‘Demi Drama,’ another insider with the Lovato-JoBros tour tells E! News.

“After she split with Joe, it was just a whole bunch of drama, very awkward. Everyone tried to be professional, but you could tell it was wearing down Demi. It was a taboo subject to bring up, but clearly she wasn’t over Joe.

“The [Jonas] boys got a break after the tour, but Demi went a nonstop promo campaign for Camp Rock 2 and was pushing the single for that movie. It really was too much ask of a girl that young. She just couldn’t handle it.”

“I think Demi has a lot of issues she is dealing with, but at the source of them all is a great deal of stress.”

But another source says there was even more to her weekend meltdown that saw her shut down her Twitter account and leave the JoBros tour in the middle of its South American swing.

At the airport in Peru on Saturday, Demi got into a scuffle with a backup dancer.

“She just lost it right at the airport in front of everyone,” says the source. “The [Jonases'] dad basically said right there, ‘That’s it. You’re going home.’ ”

Demi also made verbal threats to Joe’s new squeeze, Ashley Greene, who was at the airport as well and witnessed her meltdown, the source says.

Indeed, according to a someone close to the Lovato family, the airport altercation was the “catalyst” to Lovato deciding to “take responsibility” for her actions

[From E! Online]

HollywoodLife has a whole speculative story about how Joe carrying on with Ashley in public could have sent Demi over the edge. E! Online’s Ted Casbalanca agrees with that theory, and writes that Demi “never got over the split with Joe and was hurt by how fast he moved on.” When Joe and Demi were dating they tried to hide it but Joe has been seen all over the place with Ashley and I wouldn’t put it past her to be calling the paps. There have been stories about how Joe is supposedly jealous of Ashley’s Twilight kissing scenes, and Kaiser thinks Ashley is leaking those stories.

Meanwhile Demi’s dad told Radar that the pressures of Hollywood got to her, but it sounds like he hasn’t seen much of his daughter since he split with her mom when she was little. There was a blind item recently that many of you mentioned about a teen star doing coke and having sex at a party. It could have been Demi, it could have been someone else or it could have been made up. I don’t put much stock in those blind items. I can buy that Demi freaked out and scuffled with some girl and shouted something at Ashley. She’s 18 years old and sounds really troubled. Hopefully rehab/treatment will help her.

Demi Lovato quits tour and goes into treatment for ‘emotional & physical issues’

wenn3018092
Singer/actress Demi Lovato, 18, isn’t really on my radar but I remember some stories that made her sound troubled. She isn’t your typical Disney teen star in that she’s rumored to be a cutter and dated Miley Cyrus’ older brother, bad boy Trace, when he was 20 and she was all of 16. She also went out with Joe Jonas for a few months, and they split up in the spring of this year. Lovato has been on tour opening up for the Jonas Brothers, which she just dropped out of to enter a “treatment center”. TMZ describes some kind of vague incident in which it sounds like Lovato fought with a female backup dancer.

Disney star Demi Lovato has bailed on an international concert tour with the Jonas Brothers — and has checked into a treatment center to seek help for “emotional and physical issues” … TMZ has confirmed through the singer’s rep.

In a statement to TMZ, the 18-year-old singer’s rep says, “Demi Lovato left her tour early this weekend in order to seek medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time.”

We’re told Demi is not seeking treatment for drug use.

The statement continues, “Demi has decided to take personal responsibility for her actions and seek help. She is doing just that.”

The rep concludes, “[Demi] regrets not being able to finish her tour, but is looking forward to getting back to work in the near future.”

Sources close to Lovato tell us the singer was in a physical altercation with a female member of her tour recently … which was a “catalyst” in her decision to seek professional help.

[From TMZ]

People Magazine confirms this news, and has the full statement from Demi’s rep along with a statement from a “source” who claims that Demi has battled eating disorders and cutting. The source (aka Demi’s rep off the record) says “She was bullied in school. She fought through eating disorders and has struggled with cutting. … Demi is taking control by getting help.”

I wonder what really happened and how bad the fight was in order to prompt Demi to stop touring and go into treatment. Was she burnt out emotionally and physically and/or did she attack this person? What happened exactly? I bet we’ll hear more about it soon, and I anticipate some kind of lawsuit to come out of it. Hopefully she’s ok and will be able to get the rest she needs. And hopefully she didn’t physically harm that other girl.

Exes Joe Jonas & Demi Lovato do a hilariously bad Teen Vogue photo shoot

vogue11

It’s no secret that I don’t really care for any of the Jonas brothers. I find them on the friendly side of creepy. The one who got married – Kevin, I guess – isn’t that bad, but the two single Jonas brothers bug me. Nick dated Miley Cyrus on and off for a while, and I believe that relationship was a harbinger of doom for Miley. As for Joe… well, I’m pretty sure Joe is a tool. He dated Taylor Swift until he dumped her by phone, then immediately started dating Camilla Belle. They went out for a while until she went off to look for greener (less gay) pastures, and now he’s doing this on-and-off thing with little Demi Lovato. Demi and Joe allegedly broke up towards the end of May (and he might have done it over the phone again) – but they still let this Teen Vogue photo shoot happen.

My guess for why the photo shoot went ahead? Because Joe has more pull, and he decided that a photo shoot in which he looked pretty and Demi looked awful was okay. Because this is really terrible what they did to her – she’s a pretty little thing, but next to Joe’s foundation and plucked eyebrows, she looks like a mess. Who styled this shoot?

Also – I’ve never noticed it before, but she has a very “budget Camilla Belle” look to her, right? Yikes.

Joe Jonas confirms he dumped Demi Lovato, but was it by phone? (update)

wenn2811489

You know who sounds like a major tool? Joe Jonas. This little pipsqueak dumped his girlfriend Taylor Swift back in November 2008 – by phone. He didn’t have the balls to dump her to her face. And after he dumped her by phone, he let her find out in the press that he started dating Camilla Belle two seconds later. Well, no one really knows how Camilla and Joe split up (I have a few guesses), but at some point, Joe began dating little Demi Lovato. I basically know Demi for two reasons: she used to date that kid who looks like the love child of Joey Ramone and a goat, Trace Cyrus (Miley’s older brother), and because Demi is maybe/probably a self-cutter. Are those two factoids connected? Probably. Anyway, according to Us Weekly, Joe and Demi only acknowledged they were dating back in March – and now a source is not only saying that Demi and Joe have split, but that Joe did the phone-dump again. A–hole. Oh, People Mag is confirming the split, so it did happen. Now we just need to know how it happened.

Harsh!

After just a few months of dating, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato have called it quits, a source confirms to UsMagazine.com. Adding insult to injury: Jonas dumped Lovato over the phone. “He didn’t have the heart to do it in person,” the source explains. And it’s not the first time Jonas has ended things that way: back in November 2008, his ex Taylor Swift admitted he dumped her during a “27 second” phone call a month before.

Lovato, 17, met Jonas, 20, in 2007 on the set of Disney channel series Camp Rock. The pair finally acknowledged their romance in a March radio interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush.

Just last week, Lovato gushed to Us that Jonas was “my first serious relationship…He knows me better than I know myself, and I know him better than he knows himself.”

The source close to the pair explains that Jonas “thought it wasn’t a good idea for them to be dating and working together all time and was afraid it was ruining the friendship.”

The former couple will still have to deal with one another this summer: they’re set to tour together this summer.

“She’s a strong girl,” the source says, adding that the breakup isn’t “necessarily” forever. “They are so young…I wouldn’t count them out yet.”

[From Us Weekly]

Why is Joe Jonas the bee’s knees, by the way? I wouldn’t think any of the Jonas boys would be catnip to women (except for their Mommy), and since we know the two unmarried brothers aren’t having sex, what’s the appeal? Honestly, though, I fear we’ll now have another round of Demi-is-cutting stories. They seem to appear whenever she’s just been through a breakup.

UPDATE: Us Weekly got a statement from Joe Jonas regarding the breakup. He said: “Demi and I knew going into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one. I realize over the time we have shared together that I feel I care more about our friendship right now. It was my choice to breakup, but I love her as a friend. She’s been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her.” Meanwhile, Demi denied that it happened over the phone, tweeting: “There are so many crazy rumors flying around today. Joe and I did split, but it wasn’t over the phone. Things didn’t work out but we’ll remain friends.”

Demi Lovato & Trace Cyrus split while rumors of her cutting resurface

fp_3188373_lovato_demi_cwny_062409

I have to admit this at the beginning – I barely know who any of these people are. Demi Lovato is a 16-year-old actress and singer of the Disney-fied Miley Cyrus variety, only without all of the sketchy photographs. Demi and Miley are around the same age, and apparently they’re kind of friends, because Demi was dating Miley’s older brother Trace. I just looked up pictures of Trace Cyrus, because I didn’t believe the photo People Magazine had up. The kid looks like the love child of Joey Ramone and a goat. Trace is 20 years old, and from the sound of it, he seems to have been the one to do the dumping. Dude… she’s 16 years old, and you’re going to release a bitchy statement about “busy schedules” to People Magazine? Douche.

Age and distance put a strain on Demi Lovato’s fledging romance with Trace Cyrus, and the couple has split, Cyrus tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“Demi is one of my good friends and I definitely became very, very close with her in the past few months, and it’s something I really wanted to make work. But unfortunately, we both have very busy schedules – we’re both on tour right now,” says the Metro Station singer, who is also brother to Miley Cyrus. “I’m always on the other side of the world and so is she, so it just seemed like something that can’t work out at this time.”

Despite the split, there are no hard feelings between the two. “We gave it a shot and that’s all you can do,” says Cyrus. “Every time I hung out with that girl or talked on the phone with her, it was amazing. She’s someone I can totally relate to.

“But she is a lot younger than me,” Cyrus, 20, adds of Lovato, 16. “When someone is that much younger, you’re looking for different things in relationships. Maybe when she’s older and we’ve both matured, we’ll be looking for the same thing and it can work out.”

Even without Lovato in his life, Cyrus has plenty on his plate, as he kicks off a headlining tour in Texas with his band Metro Station. “Then right after that I jump on tour with my sister Miley,” he says, “and we’re going to be going all across the U.S. for a few months and then headed to Europe and the U.K.”

[From People]

Demi has been in the news the past week because several media outlets/gossip sites claim that she’s cutting herself again. The rumors about Demi’s cutting started last year, when E! obtained photos of what looked like recent scarring on her wrists. Now Star Magazine has photos up that look similar – Demi with small, red X’s or slashes on her wrist. If I didn’t know there was a history of people claiming she was a cutter, I would have only suspected she was drawing on herself with a red pen:

Disney darling Demi Lovato is showing disturbing new signs of cutting — a secretive self-mutilation ritual girls sometimes use to deal with traumatic emotional issues. A little more than eight months after shocking pictures first revealed Demi’s scarred wrists, new photos of the 16-year-old leaving MTV’s NYC studios are even more alarming.

There now appear to be at least five nasty-looking slashes, where previously there were only a few.

“Demi has been really stressed out about her new show, Sonny with a Chance,” a source tells Star. “She’s not getting enough downtime because there is so much work involved, and she’s always being pulled in different directions.”

Unfortunately, that constant pressure may lead to destructive behavior. “Cutting is how she can let go of the stress that has built up inside — when she cuts herself, it’s a way to cope,” explains Dr. Jennifer Austin Leigh, a San Francisco–based psychologist who specializes in treating teenagers.

But there is hope, adds Dr. Leigh, who has not treated the actress. Besides counseling, Demi “needs to surround herself with family and friends who will have a positive impact on her.”

[From Star Magazine]

In high school, I knew a girl with severe emotional problems who was an extreme cutter. Her forearms and thighs were heavily scarred from years of self-abuse. She later had to be taken out of public school and put into a facility where her problems could be dealt with. Cutting is as much a cry for help as a full-fledged suicide attempt, and should be dealt with as such. Maybe this recent report about Demi’s alleged return to cutting has no merit, or maybe it has nothing to do with an older guy breaking her heart. But I suspect the two are connected. Poor girl… I hope there’s someone in her life telling her that all of this is not her fault. Sometimes sh-t just happens, and there’s no reason to internalize to the point of extreme self-abuse.

Here’s Demi Lovato in NYC on June 24th. For pictures of her cutting scars, see the link to Star’s article above. Credit: Fame Pictures . Trace Cyrus pictures from WENN.com

Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers play at children’s inaugural concert
Kids Inaugural Ball: We Are The Future

Last night Malia and Sasha Obama along with Joe Biden’s four granddaughters were front and center for the Kids’ Inaugural Concert at the Lincoln Memorial. The concert featured performances from the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Miley Cyrus, who sang a duet with her dad Billy Ray. The event sounds like a lot of fun, and the girls all seemed to really enjoy themselves.

The night before becoming America’s next first daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama got toasted by tweens. Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers were among the acts that performed at the Kids’ Inaugural Concert, an invitation-only event for military families and other area children at the Lincoln Memorial on Monday.

Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, offered small waves to the crowd before taking their seats in the front row with their J. Crew-clad mother, Michelle Obama, and Vice President-elect Joe Biden’s four granddaughters.

“What an amazing show,” Michelle Obama — who also signed autographs — told the crowd. “You kids are the future of this great nation. At this moment in our nation’s history, we wanted you to be able to join in this celebration.”

The crowd went wild for the Jonas Brothers. Both Malia and Sasha jumped up when the boys took the stage and started clapping. They danced along with their mom and Biden’s grandchildren. Sasha even took several steps ahead of Michelle to take a picture. She was working the camera as the boys, one by one, walked to the section of the stage nearest to them.

Another show highlight? Miley Cyrus. She dedicated her inspirational tune “The Climb” to the Obama daughters. “You girls must be awfully proud of your dad — and so am I,” said Cyrus, who sang with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, on stage. After her performance, an out-of-breath Cyrus got off stage to shake hands with the Obama girls.

[From Us Weekly]

Comedian George Lopez also performed, and the girls cracked up at his jokes. It sounds like this was a fun and entertaining way to get kids interested in politics a little bit and show them that they matter too. It’s not just something only adults can be interested in.

The Obama girls are going to get a lot of attention in the next 4-8 years, though obviously the president and first lady are going to do their best to keep their lives as normal as possible. But considering how drastically everything has changed, it’s nice that they can get some fun in there too.

Demi Lovato denies she’s a cutter – despite pictorial evidence

One of Miley Cyrus’ teen queen competitors, Demi Lovato, is having to issue some major denials after pictures emerged of what appears to be cutting scars on the inside of her left wrist. Lovato’s rep insists she’s not a cutter and said she wore some gummy bracelets that were too tight earlier that day. A pretty creative excuse, I’ll give her that. If you’re going to lie, at least make it good, right?

Demi Lovato is a cut above this latest rumor.

Responding to an innocent musing from blogger Perez Hilton that Selena Gomez’s BFF could be self-mutilating, a rep for Lovato tells E! News that the allegation is “completely false.”

“Demi was wearing gummy bracelets just prior to her appearance on the red carpet and, because of how tight they were, they left indentations on her wrist,” publicist Allison Leslie says, referring to a zoomed-in pic showing a few thin red marks on the inside of the 16-year-old’s wrist.

And, considering the controversial photo was taken on the red carpet at Miley Cyrus’ 16th birthday party (the one on Oct. 5, not to be confused with all her other B-day parties this year), Perez’s suggestion that maybe the Disney Channel queen dug her claws into the Camp Rock darling is probably nothing but wishful thinking on his part.

You can see the photo on E!’s website above. Unfortunately for Demi’s rep, bracelets go all the way around the wrist, and the marks are only on the inside. They’re also so dark that it would have had to be some dangerously tight bracelets to leave marks like that. I think Lovato’s hand would have turned blue. The marks are also slightly different lengths and widths. I don’t think there’s any plausible way to say they came from gummy bracelets.

Evil Beet points out how dangerous cutting is, and that it’s a predictor of future significant psychological issues. They also have a picture of Demi’s inner wrist from a month earlier with similar scars. So I doubt she was dumb enough to wear what would have been painful bracelets twice. Also, in the picture in E!’s article, there is a cut that’s further down her wrist at the base (and very wide part) of her hand. If the bracelets were big enough to fit there, they were too big to leave marks on the thinner part of her wrist. If she is cutting, hopefully someone will get Demi some help asap.

Here’s Disney star Demi Lovato performing live at the Wiltern Theatre Los Angeles on Monday. In all fairness, she is wearing bracelets – though they’re not tight. Images thanks to WENN.
