Demi Lovato is one brave lady!
Hoping to put a face on mental illness, the singer has revealed she's been facing a serious issue -- bipolar disorder.
The 22-year-old is currently waging a campaign to combat the negative stigmas associated with mental health problems and is going public with her own battle.
"I have struggled with bipolar disorder for several years now," Lovato told People.
Demi's campagin is the Be Vocal: Speak Up for Mental Health. According to the website, the campaign, "is an initiative encouraging people across America to use their voice in support of mental health."
Lovato launched the initiative, which works with five different mental health groups, to help people who are afflicted by mental illness and give light to the issues that both society and people shove in the dark.
"I just think mental illness is something people need to learn more about," the "Heart Attack" singer told People. "I want people to know it's ok to ask for help and it's ok to have a mental illness."

We thought we'd never see the day!
Lindsay Lohan is officially off probation and out of the hands of the law for the first time in eight years! Her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley appeared in court today to submit the actress' completed 125 hours of community service, and the judge signed off and closed the book on her case.
The Mean Girls star was facing time in the slammer, but managed to scramble and do eight hours of volunteer work daily for over two weeks in order to avoid punishment. The rehabbed redhead's probation stemmed from her 2012 reckless driving case, but she's actually been on probation since 2007, when she was charged with drug possession and DUI.

A Los Angeles judge has ruled that the child molestation case brought about by choreographer Wade Robson and another alleged victim, James Safechuck, against Michael Jackson's estate should be dismissed after too much time had passed since the late singer's death.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff dismissed the case when he ruled that the two men, who filed in 2013, had waited too long after the singer's death in 2009 to make a legal claim. Legally, an alleged victim has one year to file.
Robson, who was a key witness in Jackson's acquittal in 2005, has since changed his story and said that Jackson first molested him when he was seven years old at the Neverland Ranch, as his sister slept in a separate bed. The choreographer, who has designed dances for Britney Spears and 'N Sync, alleges he was molested by the icon for eight years, beginning in 1990. Robson is now claiming that he came forward after a breakthrough in therapy, which he was going to following a nervous breakdown in 2011.
The Jackson estate has denied all of Robson and Safechuck's allegations of abuse.

Kendall Jenner does NOT want to talk about her rumored romance with Lewis Hamilton.
The supermodel kept mum about her possible romance with the Formula One race car driver when she headed into LAX on Wednesday.
Last weekend, the two spent a luxurious weekend together in Cannes and Monaco and multiple sources are saying that duo have quite the crush on each other, reports Us Weekly.
The gorgeous pair met last week at the star-studded amfAR 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala event last Thursday. Then on Saturday, the lanky lady went to see during the Monaco F1 Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. Not a bad life!
For the flight out of town, the leggy lady donned a tan jacket, and showed off her fine form in a black crop top and black leggings. She elongated her already long legs with a pair of pointed pumps.
Earlier in the day, the 19-year-old got her brunette locks touched up when she made a stop at B2V salon in Beverly Hills. Before that, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and her BFF Hailey Baldwin got some organic grub at Kreation.

Are Ben and Jen dunzo?! Say it ain't so!
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner may be headed for divorce. Multiple outlets are reporting that the high-profile couple are separated and are on the brink of a $150 million divorce. Wow!
If it's going to cost them that much -- maybe the parents of three should just stay together? If they can't do it for the kids, at least do it for the money!
The National Inquirer is reporting that the duo are going to make an official announcement before their 10th wedding anniversary so that the media hubbub will die down before Ben begins promoting Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice.
Radar Online is reporting that super mom Jen has had enough of Ben's wild behavior and has finally reached a breaking point after years of problems.
An insider told the site, "Often, when Ben and Jen have a problem, they just agree to ride it out and be miserable together until they can get some time apart."
Another insider told the publication: "Jen has actually been preparing herself emotionally for this divorce for some time."
We don't think every break-up rumor is true, but X17 gets pics of the couple together on the reg and it's been over a month since we've seen the hands-on parents together, so we have to wonder ...
Plus: while we think Ben's a great dad -- we've heard a lot of rumors to suggest he's not such a great husband. We think it's high time Jen kicked Ben to the curb for his wild ways.
Poll
Do You Think Jen & Ben Are Splitting Up?
Yes, it's about time for Jen to get rid of him!
No! They are together forever!
Who cares?! Doesn't every celeb couple get divorced eventually?

One mention of his main ladies, and Yeezy can't help but beam with pride!
Kanye West was up early to catch a flight to San Fran this morning, and when our videographer brought up wife Kim Kardashian and adorable daughter North, the rapper was unusually smiley and chatty. We've figured out the key to diffusing the hip hop bad boy's temper - compliment the women in his life!
Asked if he said special things to his beautiful wife to mark their anniversary, KW replied, "Yeah, I did." So what did the Louis Vuitton Don have to say when we told him that baby North West was the cutest baby we've ever seen in our life? "I agree," he said with a grin.
Us Weekly reported that the A-list couple were planning to renew their vows in Paris for their first anniversary, and that the "Black Skinhead" crooner had rented out the Eiffel Tower, but it seems like they got their facts wrong. X17online.com can report exclusively that the couple road-tripped to Arizona for their 1st anniversary. A far cry from Paris!
Family life has turned him into a complete softie, and we love it!

Kim Kardashian is back to blonde -- well at least for a short time, as she graces the cover of the latest Vogue Brasil. The superstar channeled Marilyn Monroe for the mag's sexy spread. Va-va-voom!
The photos were shot in Malibu by German photographer Ellen Von Uwerth and intended to showcase Kim as a "contemporary" version of the late film icon.
In the mag, the 34-year-old talks about her superstar status and how people constantly say that she has "no talent."
"Aren't I lucky? I don’t have to do anything and still can be successful," Kanye West's lady love jokes. "I dare someone else to try to do everything I do and then they can tell me if there is a talent behind it or not."
Whether you love her or hate her, we have to admit -- Kimmy K has made quite a talent and being untalented!

We love Amy Schumer -- and so should you!
The always provocative funny lady took a stab at the Bill Cosby rape scandal on last night's Inside Amy Schumer and it's pretty damn hilarious.
In the sketch, the blonde lady plays Bill Cosby's fictional defense attorney in the comic's trial in the Court of Public Opinion. Ha!
The scene starts with the prosecutor's closing arguments before Schumer takes the stage. How does Schumer plan on getting Cosby out of this image-destroying jam? Why by playing an episode of The Cosby Show, giving jurors pudding pops and presenting them with Cosby sweaters of course! The basic premise of the sketch is Cosby couldn't have possibly drugged and raped all these women because he's the beloved Dr. Huxtable -- and even if he did, why would we want to destroy our memories of The Cosby Show by letting his reputation be sullied?
From the sweater jokes to the wacky dancing and on to the dozens of rape allegations, Amy puts all things Bill Cosby on trial -- and succeeds at poking fun of the world's love of the now-tarnished comedian.
Inside Amy Schumer airs on Comedy Central on Tuesday nights at 10:30 PM.
