People Magazine, despite its reputation as a celebrity-friendly rag that will run just about any publicist-generated story, has not been the kindest to Demi Moore. We’ve had the impression that they’re firmly in Ashton’s camp, judging from their last cover story on Demi, in February after her OD and hospitalization. They titled their online story “Inside Demi Moore’s Dangerous Desperation to ‘Stay Young and Skinny‘” They’ve run articles about Demi grinding up on young guys while partying with her daughters, and last November, after Demi and Ashton announced their separation, People ran a cover suggesting that Demi’s insecurities help drive their split. (Although they did mildly acknowledge Ashton’s cheating.)

All of that is leading me to believe that People’s latest cover was sanctioned by Ashton, with some details from Demi’s side to try and make it sound neutral. Demi is said to be “jealous and frustrated” and “threatened” by Ashton’s public romance with Mila Kunis. Of course she is. I mean I believe this easily. So I guess all those tabloids reports on Demi’s reaction to her ex’s new relationship were true. Here’s a preview of their cover story:

The actress, who will mark her 50th birthday on Nov. 11, is wrapping a challenging year: Her 6-year marriage to Ashton Kutcher, 34, ended last November in the wake of the actor’s public cheating scandal; she was hospitalized last January; and since then she has endured intense scrutiny of her well-being.

Multiple sources close to her circle say some friends are worried Moore hasn’t fully recovered. Her thinness is still raising concerns, a source tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story: “Her friends aren’t convinced she’s all better.”

Now, with her milestone birthday fast approaching, she must cope with her ex’s very public new romance with actress Mila Kunis, 29.

One source close to her says she is “jealous and frustrated” by the romance.

Another insider says the actress is taking Kutcher’s cheating the hardest.

“What was humiliating was having her husband cheat on her in such a public way,” the insider says. “But once that happened, she has not looked back.”

But another source maintains she’s doing well: “As hard as it has been, despite the depression of going through a divorce, she came through it.”

[From People]

I really want to hear why Demi and Ashton haven’t “finalized” their divorce. I don’t think we’ve seen any evidence that they’ve even filed, and I buy the stories that they were never legally married. The evidence otherwise is very weak.

It’s been at least year since Demi was with Ashton, but I get why it’s hard for her to move on, and painful to see Ashton hanging all over Mila in public. (It’s painful for us, too, and we have no personal connection to these people.) Obviously Demi needs to let go, though, and find something else to focus on. She needs to get a hobby or something, since it’s not like her daughters are welcoming her back into their lives.

Here’s what I’m wondering – why is People running this story? Is Demi bugging the sh*t out of Ashton, and did he sanction this as some kind of “move the F on” message to Demi? That’s my theory.

Over the past few months, there were lots of reports indicating that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore might not have been legally married. Apparently, their wedding was a non-legally-binding Kabbalah ceremony, and they never went through with any kind of legal civil ceremony or anything…? That’s just one theory, although Ashton’s new girlfriend Mila Kunis might be telling people that Ashton was never really married too. Well, a few weeks ago In Touch Weekly claimed that they had “proof” that Ashton and Demi were in fact legally married, and that their long-gestating divorce is being held up by financial negotiations. In Touch said that Demi was “dragging her feet” and an insider claimed Ashton “wasn’t pushing because of her mental state. I know he wants to be divorced, but it’s not because he wants to rush into another marriage. He wants to be able to move on and not have a wife. There’s nothing he can’t do — he can have a baby and girlfriend if he is married.” Now US Weekly claims that the financial haggling is being held up because Ashton is trying low-ball Demi in the negotiations:

Ashton Kutcher is still legally married to ex Demi Moore — but that hasn’t hurt his five-month romance with Mila Kunis!

“They’re really serious,” an insider tells Us Weekly of Kutcher’s relationship with Kunis, 29.

And seriously getting under Moore’s skin. “She’s not psyched about Ashton and Mila,” a Moore pal admits.

Her main issue: Kutcher’s longtime bond with his former That ’70s Show costar. “She was always insecure over the course of her marriage,” the pal says of the actress, 49. “So yeah, it’s hurtful that he’s with someone he knew the whole time he was with her.”

Kutcher, 34, and Moore announced their separation last November in the wake of his cheating scandal with then-22-year-old Sara Leal. An insider tells Us the pair are still working out a financial arrangement before filing for divorce, and their negotiations have hit a snag.

Though the Two and a Half Men star pockets $700,000 an episode, “he’s so cheap!” says the insider. “He’s trying to get the best deal he can.”

Still, another source says, “Ashton is eager to have everything settled.”

[From Us Weekly]

Here’s what I don’t get: I thought Demi Moore had more money than Ashton? I think she probably came into the marriage with more money, but maybe it evened out throughout their marriage, as her career waned and his career got more profitable. But even then, Demi is an incredibly successful producer. So I don’t get why Ashton should have to give Demi a big financial settlement at all, and I don’t get why they’re fighting about the settlement either. If Ashton wants Demi out of his life, just pay her. I don’t know, I’m just not sure that “money” is the reason for all of this back-and-forth.

As we discussed yesterday, it seems more and more likely that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are actually in a real relationship, complete with makeouts on rocks and lovey-dovey pronouncements in restaurants. At this point, I think Mila and Ashton have been together for… maybe since the beginning of April? April is when the stories really began, and there were lots of sightings of Mila and Ashton all around California. So, that means they’ve been together five solid months, probably closer to six months. So is it time to start having “the talk”? The Talk about marriage and babies and their future together, despite the fact that he and Demi Moore are still in some kind of state of matrimony? Gross. Well, The Enquirer says yes, they are talking about it. They also say that Mila Kunis is telling her friends that Ashton claims that he and Demi were never legally married!

The latest bizarre twist in the bitter Demi Moore-Ashton Kutcher breakup – or as Demi famously cast is, her “divorce!”

Inside sources say Mila Kunis keeps insisting that the rumors are true: Ashton and Demi were NEVER married!

“Mila is now saying she and Ashton want to marry and raise children, and she’s assured stunned pals that he doesn’t need a divorce from Demi because the two were never legally wed in a civil ceremony,” said one source. “They got ‘hitched’ in a symbolic Kabbalah ceremony.”

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

The whole “Ashton and Demi were never legally married” thing has been around for months. At this point, I think the story might have legs, because neither Demi nor Ashton has filed ANY kind of legal paperwork to dissolve their marriage/relationship. There are no separation papers, no divorce papers. All Demi did was issue a statement saying that “I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton”… but then there’s been nothing in the way of paperwork.

Meanwhile, Star has this dumb story about Mila being jealous… of Miley Cyrus:

Mila Kunis has a message for Miley Cyrus: “Keep your hands off my man!” An insider reports that Mila is seething with jealousy over the news that Miley will be cozying up to her boyfriend Ashton Kutcher when she guest stars on his show, Two and a Half Men.

“She’s concerned that with Ashton’s checkered cheating history, he could easily fall prey to Miley’s charms,” says the source.

So Mila is taking precautions by setting some ground rules for her philandering beau. “That includes no extracurricular partying or socializing with Miley, no flirty texts or emails back and forth – nothing.”

Mila has also warned Ashton that she’ll be making “regular drop-in visits to the set to make sure he and Miley are on their best professional behavior.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Liam Hemsowrth or Ashton: who would you rather? Damn, I wouldn’t mind a roll in the hay with that Aussie boy. But I wouldn’t touch Ashton with a ten-foot pole. But would Ashton go for Miley? Well, considering Ashton’s taste in mistresses during his marriage to Demi, I do think Mila might have some grounds to be concerned. But he’s a new man! Right? He buys lunch! He says “I love you”! He makes out with me on a rock! Etc. Well, we’ll see. Is Ashton dumb enough to cheat on Mila? I think you can guess my answer.

I was ready to dismiss this story as an anonymously-sourced tabloid rumor, but a site called Books & Review is covering it, along with naming the potential editor and publisher, so it could be happening. According to reports, Demi Moore has received a $2 million advance from Harper Collins for a memoir, which will either focus on her coming to terms with her stormy relationship with her mom or she’ll tell all about her relationship with Ashton Kutcher. (Demi’s mom was an alcoholic and she passed in 1998 from cancer. Demi and her mom were estranged in the years before she died.) Here’s the news from Books & Review [via Hollywire], which does a good job of compiling the different reports:

The actress, who split from Ashton Kutcher in November 2011 after seven years of marriage, has reportedly reached a deal worth $2 million with publisher HarperCollins to write a book. The book will be edited by Jennifer Barth, and backstopped by publisher Jonathan Burnham. According to sources they are still negotiating a delivery date and making a deal with a co-writer.

Reports are mixed on what Moore will focus on in the book. Some say that it is not a trip down memory lane for the actress who got her start as a member of the Brat Pack. According some unnamed sources she met with publishers to personally pitch the book, which isn’t a memoir, but rather a specific story about her complex relationship with her mother, and how it impacted her life and career.

Another source told The Daily Star that Moore, left depressed and angry after Kutcher cheated on her, she decided to reap her revenge on him by signing a book contract. An insider claims, “We already had a great book outline from her in which she said she would write about overcoming her alcohol and cocaine addictions. Now she’s going to blow the lid on her six-year marriage to Ashton, so what would have been a best-selling book is going to become a blockbuster!”

According to Now! Magazine the 49-year-old is planning to pen a kiss and tell book, revealing all the secrets of her seven year marriage with Ashton. “She’s planning to spill all the juicy details on her addictions, her meltdown and her marriages,” said a source to the magazine…

Moore is apparently exhilarated to be writing the book, though her grown-up daughters are decidedly less excited about the prospect: “Demi’s daughters hate the idea – they don’t want their lives laid bare to whole world,” said a source close the family.

[From Books & Review]

The article goes on to claim that Demi’s daughters filed a restraining order against her (which they didn’t, they were just allegedly considering it) so I don’t know how reliable a source this “Books & Review” site is after all. They may just be getting their stories from the British tabloids, which regularly make up crap out of whole cloth and then feed off each other. But – I would kind of love it if Demi did write a tell-all. I would like for her to get control of her life, and her story, in her own way and writing a book just might be the trick. (I don’t expect her to dish much dirt about Ashton, sadly. I think she’ll just gloss over things, but I could be pleasantly surprised.) It’s a better idea than fake dating an actor who needs the publicity. Maybe she’ll get a ghost writer who will inspire her to portray her life as if she’s moving on in a mature, healthy way. Fake it until you make it, Demi.

Also, Demi needs to work another red carpet and/or quit hiding from the paps. We keep having to use old photos of her, and she looks so much healthier now. (See the Life & Style pic below, that’s the most recent.)

Yesterday we saw photos of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis taking in a Dodgers game from some sweet seats. Mila looked annoyed to be there in the photos I’ve seen, although of course she knew she would be photographed. I wonder if that was a calculated move so as not to look too thrilled with her new lovah, or maybe she just finds baseball boring. She went public with Ashton, so it must be serious on some level. She could have begged off going.

The Enquirer has a new story this week that I’m not entirely sure is accurate, namely because I believe the rumors that Ashton and Demi were never officially married. I think they’re hoping that that the public will ignore the fact that neither of them has filed for divorce, because to do so might expose the news that they were only married under their Kabbalah cult and never in the eyes of the law. I could be wrong, though. Here’s that story, from Mike Walker’s column:

“Ashton always wanted Demi to take the lead in filing for divorce, and in her own good time,” said a source. “He didn’t press her too hard because she was going through heavy emotional distress and he didn’t want to pile it on her.

“But now he’s calling Demi and begging her to file, driven by Mila’s agony over being in a romance with a still-married man.”

While Demi remains civil toward Ashton, she’s unmoved by his pleas.

“It stings her that he’s fallen in love with a girl much younger than she is,” said the source. “She’s not in the mood to make things easier for him.”

[From The National Enquirer, Mike Walker's column]

Again, if these two weren’t really married, and we’ve heard rumors about this for some time, no one would need to file for divorce, which I do think the public will overlook. The gossip-press and the gossip-obsessed among us will know if no divorce happens and it might get some coverage, but it won’t go wide like a big scandal or a wedding would. Now, this could get complicated if Ashton and Mila got engaged for instance. If that happened, I bet some of the mainstream outlets will start bringing it up, even if it’s a couple of years from now. Like “why aren’t Ashton and Demi divorced yet?” If they are/were really married, I do believe Walker’s account that Demi is dragging her feet. We’ve heard for months that she’s hoping for a reunion, and we know she’s not easily letting go even though she supposedly has a “new boyfriend,” the announcement of which coincided with news of Ashton and Mila’s romance.

In related Demi news, Star is claiming she’s had another boob job. They use the photos of her super skinny compared to how healthy she’s looking now. Those are the two photos below. They say she had some kind of lift, which is possible. It could also just be simple weight gain, which she sorely needed.

Right after the photos came out of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis sucking face at an industry party, Ashton’s ex Demi Moore played a little press game of her own, and leaked a story that she was dating an actor from New Zealand named Martin Henderson. Life & Style had details of a romantic weekend getaway the two allegedly shared, along with some suspiciously clear close-up photos of them together, looking happy. Given that Demi regularly hides her face and scowls when the paparazzi come around, you can bet that the whole thing was carefully staged. The story read like all the others we’ve heard from Demi’s PR team: she’s sexy, she’s carefree, she’s banging a hot young actor. It looked like Henderson was in on it too, as he could surely use the publicity.

Well cue the denials. A “source” told E! that the two are just friends who were traveling with a group of people, and weren’t on a date or a weekend trip together.

If Demi Moore wanted to match Ashton Kutcher rumor for rumor, well…mission accomplished.

While a photo of her ex looking snuggly with Mila Kunis made the rounds, the seemingly happy-and-healthy-again actress was on a trip to New Preston, Conn., where she spent an awful lot of time with hunky New Zealander Martin Henderson.

The 37-year-old actor, best known as Naomi Watts’ ill-fated ex in The Ring and for the ABC series Off the Map, was spotted hiking and dining with Moore, 49, prompting a fair amount of gushing about their romantic potential and a report that they’re secretly dating.

Sources tell E! News, however, that Moore and Henderson are just friends—and the romantic hike they reportedly took was a group outing with about a dozen other people.

They met through a mutual acquaintance who arranged last week’s quick jaunt to Connecticut.

But hey, there’s nothing wrong with Moore making a new friend, right? Especially a strapping, handsome male friend.

[From E! Online]

So what happened? Was Henderson dating Demi casually and did he get peeved to see the story in the gossip press? Was he just a guy hanging out with a group of people that included Demi, and does he resent being linked with her? Remember how Joe Manganiello denied that he was dating Demi, but didn’t deign to mention her name? Henderson is playing this better, and seems to be speaking off the record. Or maybe Demi decided she wanted to squeeze more mileage out of the story and decided to play the “just friends” card, although I doubt it. Demi’s got a one-note press strategy and she wants Ashton to think she’s moved on. If she had, she wouldn’t be planting stories in Life & Style.

In our coverage of the news that Demi Moore’s daughters are refusing to contact her, the comments have been divided between considering it tough love for an addict and finding the girls self-centered and spoiled for refusing to get in touch with their mom. It seems that Demi’s ex, Bruce Willis, is in the “spoiled” camp. He’s allegedly chastised the girls and threatened them with being cut off from his money if they don’t make up with their mom. That’s one way to get your daughters to fall in line. Here’s more:

Since Rumer, 23, Scout, 21, and Tallulah, 18, distanced themselves from their mom to get away from her emotional meltdowns, Bruce has let them know their behavior is unacceptable. “Bruce is very disappointed in them, and he’s been calling them spoiled and selfish. He doesn’t understand why they are turning on their mom when, for the most part, she’s been an incredibly supportive parent.”

The girls supported Demi through the split from Ashton Kutcher and her stay in rehab, but now they feel she should get it together on her own. Bruce, however, feels differently. “He thinks they are being way too hard on Demi,” says the source. “He still really loves her, but he has a new wife and baby to look after so it’s not as though he can do much for her.” But Bruce has a trump card to bring the girls in line: Shape up or no more allowance. “If he cuts them off, they will all be in serious trouble. None of them has money saved, and they all rely on Bruce and Demi to pay their bills. The sad thing is this means that Demi’s girls have to be paid to be nice to her.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, August 6, 2012]

There’s got to be a way for the girls to talk to their mom and set limits on how much they’re willing to be drawn into her drama. They’ve probably tried that, but let’s face it they’re all under 25 and likely have a very low tolerance for Demi. She’s partied with them, hit on their male friends, and reportedly acted like more of a “little sister” than a mom. It’s up to Demi to fix some things before she can repair her relationship with her daughters. If you believe the latest (PR-planted) reports, Demi has a hot new romance with a younger actor who could really use the publicity. Things are looking up for her and maybe she’ll be able to get her act together. If that story is a fake romance, at least she’s saving face in the media after seeing her ex so loved-up with Mila Kunis. She’s better off without the douche, but she still doesn’t seem to have realized it.

Oh Demi. The celebrity press has been dominated with news about Demi’s daughters cutting her out of their lives because she’s been annoying them with needy incessant messages. We’ve heard that Demi is in deep despair and “heartbroken” over her estranged husband Ashton Kutcher’s new romance with Mila Kunis, and that Demi was holding out hope for a reunion. We’ve seen multiple paparazzi photos of Ashton and Mila together, including some recent ones in which they were making out. So what does Demi do? She goes and gets herself a new piece, an out-of-work actor who no doubt needs the publicity, and makes sure there are photos of the two of them together along with a narrative about their breezy, romantic getaway. This is Demi’s playbook, and it’s getting as stale as her plastic surgery denials. Here’s more, including exclusive photos, thanks to Life & Style, which has more in their upcoming issue.

Life & Style can exclusively reveal that Demi Moore, 49, has been secretly dating New Zealand–born actor Martin Henderson, who is 12 years her junior.

Life & Style has obtained exclusive photos of the couple on a romantic Connecticut getaway. On July 19, Demi and Martin went to lunch at Nine Main Bakery and Deli in New Preston, Conn. “She was in line and a Colbie Caillat song came on — she started singing along and dancing in a playful, flirty way,” shares a fellow diner. After lunch, the two went grocery shopping together, then drove back to the house where they stayed on their vacation.

“They were very comfortable with each other,” notes a fellow diner.

Three days earlier, they’d enjoyed a lobster dinner at a friend’s house, followed by a two-hour hike at Steep Rock Preserve the next morning. Later that night, Demi and Martin, 37, joined pals for a casual outdoor barbecue. “They just kept chatting and laughing,” reports a guest.

Notes another insider who saw the actress on her romantic getaway, “She looked great — chatty, healthy and happy.”
Martin, an Australian TV star, appeared in Britney Spears’ steamy “Toxic” video in 2004. He previously dated Phone Booth star Radha Mitchell, with whom he starred in 1999′s Kick.

Kaiser remembers this guy from The Ring, and I barely do now that she’s reminded me. That movie was so creepy that I tried not to pay attention and fast forwarded through a lot of it. I don’t think this relationship is real. I mean, I would like it if Demi moved on and wasn’t the sad sack popping ADHD drugs that she’s been made out to be following her overdose. To me that means focusing on herself and feeling better, not finding a new guy and burying her sorrows in a new relationship. I’ve been rooting for Demi, but it seems so predictable the way she’s rolling out some new guy in the press. Demi’s tired PR narrative has her as sexy, desirable, and so carefree she’s jamming out to music spontaneously. We’ve heard this before, but the reality is not as rosy.

Note that Demi didn’t score the cover of Life & Style, even when the mag got exclusive photos and details straight from her PR people. That honor went to Kourtney Kardashian’s ongoing relationship drama. Does she think that this is going to make Ashton so jealous he dumps Mila and comes crawling back to her? I do think that’s her plan. Demi needs a few hobbies.

We’ve heard that Demi Moore, 49, is alternately holding out hope for a reunion with her estranged husband, Ashton Kutcher, and feuding with her daughters for remaining in contact with him. We’ve also heard that the two were recently attending weekly Kabbalah marriage counseling sessions together, although those were tabloid reports, and that they allegedly had makeup sex as recently as last month. That may have been wishful thinking on Demi’s part, or Ashton may have been conflicted about the split and leading her on. Either way, we know that Ashton, 34, is getting somewhat serious in his new relationship with Mila Kunis, 28. We just saw photos of Ashton and Mila making out at the wrap party for Ashton’s film about Steve Jobs. This is said to have been devastating to Demi, who apparently is “beyond heartbroken” that Ashton is with Mila.

Demi Moore is suffering incredible heartache a source close to the actress exclusively told RadarOnline.com.

“Demi is devastated that Ashton has moved on so quickly and is dating Mila,” the friend says. “She is beyond heartbroken.

“Even though Ashton cheated on her all the time, it was with random girls, it wasn’t a relationship like it is with Mila and that is what is killing Demi now.

“Seeing photos of him kissing another woman is too much for her to handle, it’s like having her nose rubbed in it time and time again. She kind of knew it was definitely over between them but I think she was still holding out a little hope for a reconciliation — now he’s actually dating someone else she knows that’s not going to happen.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Demi and Ashton have run into each other since she has returned from rehab, but he’s now obviously moved on with a new romance.

“Each time Demi hears about Ashton and Mila it breaks her heart. She really loved him despite the flaws in their marriage and to see him dating someone new, who is so much younger than she is, is like a knife in her heart,” the source says.

Demi is also estranged from her three daughters, and one reason is because the girls refuse to stop talking to Ashton.

“The girls have all stayed friends with Ashton, and that is infuriating Demi,” a source close to the girls previously told RadarOnline.com about the situation.

While Demi has returned to work, filming in New York City, the turmoil in her personal life is worrying her friends.

“Demi is in a fragile state right now and with the fights with her daughters and hearing how sad she is about Ashton and Mila everyone is afraid of how she’s handling all the stress,” her friend says.

[From Radar Online]

I don’t get the big difference between casually cheating with randoms and having a full blown romance on the side. It’s all cheating, but I get the sense that Demi forgave a lot in an attempt to hold on to her marriage. In this case Ashton and Demi broke up months ago. She needs to understand that he’s moved on and that she needs to do the same. I get that it must hurt to see her ex sucking face with his new girlfriend, but that’s the price of fame. Maybe she’s still taking copious amounts of ADHD drugs and Red Bull and isn’t firmly planted in reality. Her own daughters aren’t even talking to her. I hope she gets the help she needs to come to terms with her life. A lot of people would find it pretty sweet.

Earlier this week, Radar ran a story claiming that Demi Moore’s three young adult daughters were considering taking out a restraining order on her. Demi was allegedly bothering her daughters so much with incessant needy e-mails, texts and voice messages that they thought they may need to give their mom a stronger message to back off. The root of the issue was reportedly the girls’ close relationship to Demi’s ex, their former stepdad Ashton Kutcher. Demi was said to be “attacking” them for maintaining a relationship with Ashton, even though it’s safe to assume she wishes she could do the same.

The thing that made me believe that story is that US Weekly had a similar report in their print edition last week, based on a source who told them that Demi and the girls weren’t talking. US corroborated Radar’s version about a big family blowout at Tallulah’s high school graduation in June, and included the same detail that Demi’s daughters were ignoring her. Well now US has another story that Radar’s “restraining order” claims weren’t quite accurate, but that it’s true that Demi’s daughters aren’t on good terms with her at all.

Demi Moore’s daughters may be giving her the silent treatment, but they aren’t ready to cut her out of their lives entirely.
On July 16, Radar Online claimed Rumer, 23, Scout, 21, and Tallulah Willis, 18, were “seriously considering taking about a restraining order against Demi to stop her from contacting them. . . Demi has been calling them incessantly and emailing them, leaving them tearful messages and begging them to call her and the girls are sick of it.”

Not so, an insider tells Us Weekly. “It’s true they’re not all hunky dory, getting along like they used to, but they’re not about to go to those extremes!” the insider says of the Striptease star, who went to rehab in February after her split with Ashton Kutcher, 34. “They love their mom at the end of the day, and they’re never going to completely abandon her.”

Moore — who spends “most of her time in Idaho, not L.A.” — isn’t pestering her three children (with ex-husband Bruce Willis, 57), per the insider. “I haven’t heard about Demi calling them nonstop or anything like that. Demi finds out how they’re doing through friends and Bruce — she doesn’t need to go that far.”

Still, an insider warns the Ghost actress’ daughters aren’t quite ready to let Moore, 49, back into their lives. “They all do need their space from the drama and the negativity — Scout in particular.”

[From US Weekly]

See this just makes me believe the restraining order story more. They’re admitting that things are bad but are trying to hedge that’s it’s not as bad as the other report made it out to be. Maybe the girls are trying to send their mom a message through the press. Sober up and get your act together because we’re not going to sit back and watch you do this to yourself.

The Daily Beast has a new story on Demi. It’s mostly just a piece chronicling her recent downfall and wondering what’s going on with her.
