Demi Lovato Says She Couldn't Go More Than 30 To 60 Minutes Without Cocaine

We can always count on Demi Lovato to be candid about her personal life, but when she went into the details of her drug use with Access Hollywood, we were completely shocked!

The 21-year-old star, who wrote her memoir Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year, chatted with Kit Hoover from the set of The X Factor on Monday and revealed that even after she had a sober coach she was using drugs all the time.

“I’m very, very good at manipulating people and that was something that I did in my disease, I would manipulate everyone around me. There were times I would just continue to lie, so that everything looked OK on the outside,” she admitted. Demi completed a three-month stint in rehab in November 2010, so it appears as though all of this happened before she sought treatment at an inpatient facility.

When it came to her cocaine addiction, she told the show:
    “Something I’ve never talked about before, but with my drug use I could hide it to where I would sneak drugs. I couldn’t go without 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine and I would bring it on airplanes. I would smuggle it basically and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep and I would do it right there. I’d sneak to the bathroom and I’d do it. That’s how difficult it got and that was even with somebody [with me], I had a sober companion, somebody who was watching me 24/7 and living with me [and] I was able to hide it from them as well.”


As far as her battle with alcoholism, she admits that it was just as bad:
    I was going to the airport and I had a Sprite bottle just filled with vodka and it was just nine in the morning and I was throwing up in the car ... and this was just to get on a plane to go back to LA to the sober living house that I was staying at…I had all the help in the world, but I didn’t want it. When I hit that moment I was like, it’s no longer fun when you’re doing it alone. I’ve really never talked about this stuff before… I don’t know if I should be sharing this. I think at 19 years old, I had a moment where I was like, ‘Oh my God… that is alcoholic behavior. [It’s] no longer, I’m young and rebellious and out having fun, it was, wow, I’m one of those people…I gotta get my s*** together.'"


Demi also chatted about her eating disorder, and she revealed that it started at a very early age:
    “It was always there, but then I just acted on it at around 8 or 9 years old. I started overeating, compulsively overeating. I would bake cookies and then eat the whole pan. I went from doing that to being unhappy with my body. I went to just completely starving myself and that turned into throwing up and starving myself and it was just this crazy battle going on inside of me. It got really difficult [and] I would throw up and it would just be blood and it was something that I realized if I don’t stop this, I am going to die.”


Demi was also joined by her mom Dianna, who took some of the blame for the starlet's issues. “I suspected [she was using drugs]. It’s like any other parent, when you see things, when you see signs you don’t want to believe that’s what actually going on. So when they’re telling you that’s not what is going on… you want too badly to believe them and I think for a long time I was in denial,” she told Kit.

 

Orlando Bloom Is Perplexed at The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug's Berlin Premiere

Orlando Bloom berlin germany premiere the Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The Hobbits shall inherit the Earth! Or maybe just Middle Earth! Sexy actors Orlando Bloom, Aiden Turner and Jed Brophy teamed up with sexy lady Evangeline Lilly and director Peter Jackson for the Berlin premiere of their upcoming film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

For the sparkling premiere, Bloom, who plays the fair-haired elf Legolas in the LoTR and Hobbit series, donned a blue tuxedo, and was mostly smiles and a few awkward faces. Despite announcing his recent split from wife Miranda Kerr -- the British hunk appears in fine form!

Bloom's dazzling co-star, Lilly, who plays elf Tauriel in the film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkein's second novel, selected a gauzy, floor-length gown for the event.

Interestingly, Bloom's character was not featured in Tolkein's Hobbit series, however Jackson felt that bringing in Legolas was necessary.

"Legolas isn’t discussed in The Hobbit, but as far as Tolkien is concerned," said the three-time Oscar-winning director. "[Legolas] would have been part of that structure within the Woodland Realm. ...And we needed characters within the Woodland Realm to drive the story."

In the second film of the Hobbit trilogy, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Gandalf the Grey (Sir Ian McKellan) and the dwarves try to reclaim their homeland, Erebor from the dangerous dragon Smaug. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug hits theaters Friday, Dec. 13.

We just spoke with Barron Hilton's dad Rick moments ago and he tells us, EXCLUSIVELY, that the family will NOT sue Lindsay Lohan for allegedly masterminding the attack on his son Barron in Miami this weekend.

The 24-year-old heir to the Hilton fortune told cops Lilo's pal Ray LeMoine beat him up at Lindsay's request, early Friday morning after a full night of partying.

Barron posted a graphic photo of his injuries on Instagram the next day and Paris reportedly commented on the snap saying, "No one f*s with my family and gets away with it."

Subsequent reports claimed Barron was going to sue Lindsay for ordering the 'hit,' but according to the family patriarch, there will be no lawsuit!

It was purely platonic, though!

Katie Holmes braved the freezing temperatures in N.Y.C. today, and either she was trying to keep warm or she was in an affectionate mood, because we caught her hugging a female pal as they parted ways!

Some girl bonding might be just what the doctor ordered these days!

The actress could be subpoenaed to sit for a deposition in the bitter legal battle between Bauer Publishing and her ex-husband Tom Cruise, which in effect would obligate the former Dawson's Creek star to divulge personal information about her marriage and divorce from the megastar.

Suri's mommy has to be a little stressed over all this!

Not every new mom has a glam squad!

Gisele Bundchen got her hair, makeup, and nails done today while she breast fed her daughter Vivian, and the supermodel acknowledged it takes a team of people to make her look this good!

"What would I do without this beauty squad after the 15 hours flying and only 3 hours of sleep?" she captioned the snapshot.

Maybe all her primping is why Jen Aniston envies the Victoria Secret stunner's locks!

"I think Gisele has exquisite hair. That's a pretty envious head of hair!" the actress confessed to Parade magazine in a new interview.

Let's face it, Mrs. Tom Brady has the perfect life!

Tila Tequila Posts Pic Dressed As Nazi; Claims Paul Walker Was Victim of "Ritualistic Murder"

Posted on Tue Dec 10th, 2013 11:30am PDT       By X17 Staff

Tila Tequila has officially gone off the deep end. Not that we ever thought she was the portrait of mental health, but her recent behavior has reached a new level or bizarre.

On Sunday, the petite reality star posted a plethora of rantings on her Facebook page in which she claimed that the mysterious death of Canadian woman Elisa Lam was linked with actor Walker's fatal Nov. 30 car crash, and also suggested that both died of a result of "ritualistic" murders. Then on Monday, Tila posted both photos and comments supporting the Nazis. Yep. We said Nazis. So needless to say things are not looking good in TilaTequilaland.

    "I know who killed Elisa Lam. The Mysterious Video of the Girl in Elevator who ended up 'mysteriously dead' at the bottom of a closed off water tank. - I believe I am the only person on this entire planet who knows what happened. I knew it the first time news of the strange video started circulating the internet weeks ago. I have just kept my mouth shut because there is a lot more to it and of course.... cases like this.. I just did not want to draw any attention to myself but I know exactly why they did it and yes it was indeed a ritualistic murder. Just like Paul Walker's."


Just in case you don't know what Tila is ranting about, here's the backstory: In February, 21-year-old Elisa Lam was found dead in a rooftop water tank on the roof of the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The story caught national attention when a video of Elisa, dubbed as "The Girl in the Water Tank," appeared online showing her acting bizarrely in the hotel's elevator soon before she was found dead in the water tank. Authorities ruled the death as accidental despite extremely suspicious circumstances. And now -- Tila is claiming to know whodunit.

Tila also posted a photo of herself dressed up in a "sexy" Nazi uniform, standing in front of Auschwitz, but has since deleted the image from her page, reports GossipCop.

The Shot at Love star, who said she converted to Judaism last year but claims she was "rejected" by Jews, also posted a a series of anti-Semitic posts on Facebook, in which she states she supports Adolf Hitler. On Monday, Tila addressed the criticism, "I never said I hated anyone, but just because I fee sympathy, compassion, and forgiveness for others such as Hitler means I am now a monster? All for trying to open your eyes to the truth that Hitler was NOT as bad as he was painted out to be?"

Yeah Tila, Hitler seemed like a swell dude, who just got a bad rap. You should definitely make sure to tell your enlightened musing to the families of the six million Jews he systematically exterminated. I am sure they would just LOVE that.

At this point, we just wish Tila would crawl into a Nazi bunker that she can decorate with her beloved Third Reich collectibles, and wallpaper it with Elisa Lam news clippings -- and just never come back.

Upon looking at Tila's Facebook, it's very easy to see that it's filled with a bevy of rants that would make anyone question the reality star's sanity. We don't like to knock people when they are down -- but Nazi sympathizers (sane or insane) spewing hate, just aren't for us. Get some help, girl!
