Demi Lovato is once again speaking out, slamming her rival Taylor Swift -- for slamming Katy Perry. Is this the pot calling the kettle black? Probably -- but we're definitely appreciating all the anti-Tay comments!
In a new interview with Glamour magazine, the "Confident" singer basically said that Tay wasn't a real feminist.
Glamour's Emily Mahaney asked, "You’ve said before, in regard to Taylor Swift, 'Don’t brand yourself a feminist if you don’t do the work.' How do you see yourself doing the work?"
The 24-year-old replied:
"Just speaking out … I’m not afraid to talk about the fact that women get paid less than men in the United States and how unfair that is. Talking about it at all is doing the work. And I think every woman does her part in some way. But I think in certain situations, certain people could be doing more if they’re going to claim that as part of their brand. To be honest, and this will probably get me in trouble, I don’t see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body. It’s kind of this false image of what people should look like. And what they should be like, and it’s not real."
Demi also tore down the "squad" in the Glamour interview, noting that the skinny ladies were all a specific (very slim) size. "It’s not realistic," Wilmer Valderrama's ex told the mag.
The singer went on saying, "I think that having a song and a video about tearing Katy Perry down, that’s not women’s empowerment. We all do things that aren’t, but I have to ask myself, 'Am I content with calling myself a feminist?' Yes, because I speak out."
Previously, Demi came down on T-Swift in February after the Grammy winner donated $25K to Kesha during her sexual assault case against Dr. Luke. Demi criticized Taylor for throwing money at the problem instead taking "something to Capitol Hill."
She also made sure to tweet how much she loved Kim Kardashian amid the T-Swizzle/Kimye dispute.

Rihanna just loves to switch up her hairstyle, and this week's look is a set of butt-length dreadlocked extensions. As Tim Gunn would say, that's a whole lotta look!
RiRi captioned the shot “buffalo $oldier,†and while it could be a look for Paris Fashion Week, it seems like it's for her character in Ocean’s 8, the all-female reboot of Ocean’s Eleven. “Rihanna tries to have a lot of input in the film,†a source told Us Weekly. “Recently, she requested that her character should have dreadlocks.†How fun! We definitely want to see that! And be friends with her, and hop on a yacht with her...
And get this -- RiRi even commented back to her fans on Instagram! One asked if the extensions were heavy, to which she replied, “as Goliath’s balls," while another asked how long she's been wanting to do this. “Since I was 14, but mama Fent’z wasn’t havin it!" she responded. "Hehe."

Kanye West has rescheduled two of his concerts after wife Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in their Paris apartment.
Live Nation said in a statement on Monday night, “Due to family concerns, this week’s Philadelphia and Detroit dates on the Saint Pablo tour have been rescheduled." The new dates for those shows are December 13 and December 22, respectively, and the company added that the rapper's tour would resume as planned on Friday, October 7.
Kim was held at gunpoint and millions of dollars of jewelry were stolen from the couple's Paris apartment on the morning of October 3, and Kanye learned of the incident when he was onstage in New York at the Meadows Music & Arts Festival. Just seconds into performing "Heartless," the rapper told the audience, “I’m sorry, I have a family emergency. I have to stop the show." Kim then jetted to New York to be with her hubby and their two children, Saint and North.
Five intruders dressed as police officers broke into the couple's posh Paris residence and escaped with an estimated $10 million of jewelry, along with personal electronics. Kim's rep said the starlet was “badly shaken, but physically unharmed,†and E! added in a statement, “[We] are incredibly thankful that Kim Kardashian West is safe, and we send her and her family our love and support. Keeping Up With the Kardashians was not filming at the time of the robbery. Our focus right now is entirely on Kim’s well-being.â€

Just one day after sister Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint at her Paris apartment, Khloe Kardashian was spotted leaving the studio in Los Angeles with an extra security detail right by her side. Khloe looked a bit nervous when we snapped her photo, and with good reason. Not only was Kim robbed of millions of dollars of jewelry, but she was gagged and bound -- and she told authorities that she was fearful her attackers would sexually assault her.
While Kim's rep and E! released statements about the assault and robbery, no one from the Kardashian family has shared their thoughts on social media. Khloe was in Cleveland during the attack, little sister Kylie remained in LA, and Kourtney and Kendall were at a Paris nightclub when the incident occurred. The two were accompanied by Kim's bodyguard Pascal Duvier, as Kim reportedly felt safe at her Paris residence. Kanye West was in New York City, and hours after the break in, Kim flew there to be with her hubby and their two children. Kourtney was also spotted returning to the states on Monday, and when she landed at LAX, she was also sticking close to her bodyguard.
Khloe maintained a poker face and kept her head down when she walked to her black Range Rover, and she was in no mood to answer questions about the family's latest drama. Can't say we blame her!

It wasn't just the men in scary masks; it wasn't the jewelry; it wasn't only fearing for her life -- as if that weren't bad enough -- Kim Kardashian told French police she feared she was going to be raped by the vicious intruders who broke in to her Paris apartment Sunday night.
The robbers bound her hands, and gagged her -- they also bound her feet ... and that's when she felt she would be sexually violated, she said in her police report. She had been lying in bed, wearing only her robe. As she heard the two men pounding up the stairs of the building, she reached for her cell phone to call her bodyguard, but the men got to her before she could complete the call.
She begged the men not to kill her, telling them she has babies. She told them she had money and to take whatever they wanted, according to TMZ.
Thank god she made it out unharmed - Kanye rushed to her side and you know the rest. Kim's in New York now, with West and her babies and about a million security guards surrounding their apartment building.
And X17online can report, exclusively, that Kim is preparing to head to Dubai for an October 14 appearance. She'll participate in a master class with her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic for a Makeup by Mario tutorial. As her 36th birthday is the 21st, she'll also be celebrating early in the United Arab Emirates city. No doubt, her security details will be on high alert.
Meanwhile, sis Kourtney returned to LA Monday afternoon, looking serious and concerned. She was also surrounded by bodyguards ...

She's going to need a lot of therapy to recover from this!
Kim Kardashian experienced the scariest moment of her life last night when she was held at gunpoint and robbed in her Paris apartment, and when she managed to break free from the restraints the robbers put her in, she made a frantic call to husband Kanye West.
"Kim was terrified. She was just hysterical when she talked to Kanye. He said she was really upset and it took him a few seconds to understand what she was saying to him. He wanted to get to her as soon as he could. He told her that he couldn't care less about the jewelry; he's just thankful that she's okay," a source dished to People. "The whole thing happened really fast. Ye says that it all hit her after the guys had left, and then it sunk in. It took her a little bit of time to pull it together. Of course her family is all there for her, and Kanye is there for her, too, but she's going to deal with the aftermath of this for a while," the source added.
The reality star long feared that something like this would happen, but never imagined it would actually come to pass.
"She has never been in a more frightening situation. She still can't believe it happened. Kris [Jenner] has been good about giving updates to concerned friends. Kim's family feels terrible about what happened to her. This was one of Kim's biggest fears. She's always known the threats are out there, but for something to happen, it's almost unimaginable. It's going to take her a very long time to feel safe again," the insider revealed.
It's likely she'll suffer from some pretty bad PTSD. This is the first time we've genuinely sympathized with Kimmy K!

Not all celeb relationships are private jets and champagne vacations -- sometimes even A-listers need to grab some groceries at the local super market!
Chris Martin and his girlfriend Annabelle Wallis went grocery shopping in Malibu on Sunday and looked very much in domestic bliss. Have these two moved in together? If they're shopping together while wearing off-duty ensembles on a Sunday -- that seems very possible!
For the trip to the grocery store, the Peaky Blinders actress wore overalls and a cropped white t-shirt, along with a pair of nude suede booties. The Brit was so chilled out during the food shopping stop that she didn't even bother to zip up her trendy booties!
Meanwhile, the Coldplay frontman, who was being so gentlemanly by pushing the cart, wore a long sleeve shirt, with the word "Love" on the pocket, a colorful baseball hat and casual pants. He certainly does look like he's in love!
These two have been dating since last October and seem to be happier and more comfortable with each other than ever!
