ICLE: Demi Lovato Pays Tribute To Frankie Jonas’ ‘Swag’

Demi Lovato Pays Tribute To Frankie Jonas’ ‘Swag’: The MTV News Quote Of The Day Posted 8/30/10 3:30 pm ET by MTV News in Music “He’s the biggest rock star of all of them. He’s got swag like Justin Bieber and he rocks out like Mick Jagger, so he’s kind of a combination of the two. He’s kind of like the ultimate rock star. Watch out, Justin Timberlake!” -Singer, actress and “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” star Demi Lovato, discussing co-star Frankie Jonas, the youngest of the four Jonas Brothers and the one often referred to as “Bonus Jonas.” Lovato compared Frankie to both Bieber and Timberlake on the red carpet of the “Camp Rock 2″ premiere in New York, and she had plenty of praise for the youngest Jonas sibling. The nine-year-old Frankie may be young, and “Camp Rock 2″ represents his first major live action film (he provided voice work in “Ponyo” a few years back), but his goals are clear. “I would like to pursue my acting career and do a little music in the middle,” he told MTV News. “It’s my first live action [film] and to have my brothers with me is way more exciting because they make you feel more comfortable.” And he’s even a little wise beyond his years. When asked about what advice his already-veteran older brothers gave him, he could recite the best bit he was given. “They’ve given me a great one that my dad gave to them and they passed on to me during the filming of ‘Camp Rock.’ It says, ‘Live like you’re at the bottom, even if you’re at the top,’ ” he explained. “Remember where you came from.” You can catch Frankie, Joe, Kevin and Nick (as well as Lovato) when “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” premieres on the Disney Channel this Friday, September 3.

Exclusive: Demi Lovato Talks Miley Duet, Joe Jonas Split and Feeling ‘More Adult’
Two summers ago, the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock turned then 16-year-old Demi Lovato into a breakout star and ‘tweens the world over fell in love with her character, Mitchie Torres, an everygirl with rock star talent and a pretty cool duet partner (that would be a mulleted Joe Jonas.)
Two years, two pop-rock albums and another Disney movie later, Demi and the JoBros return for the sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, premiering September 3. In an exclusive interview with Celebuzz, Demi, who recently blew out her 18th birthday candles, said both she and Mitchie have grown up.
“She has more confidence now,” Demi told Celebuzz of her character. “In the first movie she was really insecure and she didn’t really know who she was. Now she’s more driven.”
You could say the same about Demi, who is starring in her very own Disney Channel series, Sonny With a Chance, working on an R&B-influenced third studio album, moving her family into a new house (!) and touring with the Jonases, including Joe, 21, who is now her ex-boyfriend. How does she manage to remain friends with him?
“Well, you have to, ‘cause you work with him,” Demi told us. “When you’re hurt, it’s easy to move on, so it was very easy for me to move on.”
Her advice for fans attempting to get along with their exes is pretty simple. “Suck it up,” she said with a laugh.
And so she’s doing just that, even revealing that she has a crush on a well-known R&B star.
“I’m kind of digging Trey Songz – he’s pretty hot,” she divulged. Though she tells Celebuzz there’s nothing romantic happening with the 25-year-old singer-actor, she said, “We followed each other on Twitter and direct message each other…he’s pretty awesome.”
Trey’s soulful vibe could be an indication of what fans will hear on Demi’s new album, which she hopes to release early next year. Expect what she calls a “new sound,” a blend of hip-hop and dance tracks, and even – brace yourselves — possible duets with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.

DEMI LOVATO WANTS TO INSPIRE OTHERS FROM THE OBSTACLES SHE’S OVERCOME

One cause that Demi Lovato has always been very vocal about is bullying.
Demi recently opened up to the NY Post about the subject and being a role model.
On bullying: Bullying is a very serious thing to me, I’ve witnessed it first hand — I was bullied myself when I was 12.
On being inspired by little sister Madison De La Garza: She’s getting to that age where she could start becoming insecure. I want to be able to help other girls around her age come into their own with a strong confidence in their skin, their size, who they are and everything about themselves.
On being a role model: I’m learning and dealing with experiences that all teenagers go through. The way I want to be a role model is not by not making mistakes . . . but by helping people overcome things from the obstacles that I’ve overcome. That’s how I want to use my voice and that’s how I want to be a role model.

ARTICLE: ‘I was bullied’ – Demi Lovato speaks out

Demi Lovato is using her tween fame to address TV’s latest hot-button topic — bullying.
“Real Housewives of New York’s” Kelly Bensimon created a homemade PSA against “systematic bullying” — and the Cartoon Network and CNN are readying a new fall anti-bullying campaign — so it’s no surprise that the once-bullied star of Disney Channel’s hit “Sonny With a Chance” is speaking out about the subject.
“Bullying is a very serious thing to me, I’ve witnessed it first hand — I was bullied myself when I was 12,” says Lovato, now 17, referring to how classmates picked on her because she was a working actress. Things got so bad, she turned to home schooling.
Lovato, who’s hooked up with teensagainstbullying.org, says that her 8-year-old little sister Madison De La Garza, who stars on “Desperate Housewives,” has helped inspire her passion for the subject.
“She’s getting to that age where she could start becoming insecure,” Lovato says. “I want to be able to help other girls around her age come into their own with a strong confidence in their skin, their size, who they are and everything about themselves.”
Many teen stars bristle at the notion of having role model status thrust upon them, but Lovato says she’s fine with it.
“Nobody wants pressure and wants to be under a magnifier glass, but there are ways to be role models without claiming to be perfect,” she says.
“I’m learning and dealing with experiences that all teenagers go through. The way I want to be a role model is not by not making mistakes . . . but by helping people overcome things from the obstacles that I’ve overcome.
“That’s how I want to use my voice and that’s how I want to be a role model.”

Raven Symone, ‘Demi Lovato Is Incredible’

Legendary Disney star Raven Symone dished to Popstar! about how it was to guest star on Sonny With A Chance. How has it been working with Demi? She’s incredible. She’s such a beautiful, talented girl and have a lot of fun together. She’s a rockstar! She’s got this amazing ability to just be natural in any situation. She never seems fake or like she’s acting. She’s really gifted.
What advice do you have for new Disney stars [Miley, Selena, Demi, etc]? The one thing I would tell people is that you have to enjoy every minute of this. We working a business where no matter how big you are today, it could be all taken away from you tomorrow. You just have to completely love every minute of what you’re doing. And I do! Demi revealed she is now more aware of herself:
‘I know myself a little better now. I’m more aware of life and people and the way the business works and it’s definitely for the better. I think that I’m able to protect myself a little more but still learn more and teach other people.’
