So after reporting and keeping updated with Demi Lovato's situation there has been new information released by Life &;Style that suggests that Lovato has a drug problem:
" “She was doing line after line like a pro — and she was 17 at the time,” he tells Life &; Style, recalling the wild party they attended after a concert by the band Neon Indian at the Granada Theater in Dallas. “I just remember her doing it as if she had been doing it for a long time. It didn’t seem like something new to her.” Insiders say the pain of her breakup with Joe Jonas — and the fact that they’re on the Camp Rock 2 tour together — further fueled her downward spiral. “Demi’s been on a tear lately,” says an insider. “She’ll chug booze straight from the bottle.” Luckily for Demi, her mother and stepfather were quick to take action after they heard that she had punched a tour backup dancer in the face. “They overheard one of the dancers talking about it and freaked out,” says the insider. “They heard Demi was drinking, but the news that her partying was getting out of control shocked them — and they confronted her immediately." "
The Superficial's current blog post title is "Demi Lovato is Officially Lindsay 2.0," which refers to fellow Disney star Lindsay Lohan who started off all innocent and sweet and eventually got brought into a very bad situation that has impacted her life severely.
There is hope for Lovato as long as she is truly seeking help. It would be terrible for her to be another Disney star that ends up ruining her reputation by posting nude photos (Vanessa) or lap dancing on 40-year-old men (Miley).
Maybe Lovato's old best friend Selena Gomez can come to her rescue.
People Magazine reports that Kendra Wilkinson is back in the pages of Playboy. In the latest episode of Kendra on E! she has a deep conversation with her husband Hank Baskett where she asks him what he thinks of the idea. He voices his opinion that since he is now her husband that being able to see her naked should be a privilege for him and not something the entire world can experience. The previous Playboy she has done were all before being married to Baskett and during her time as (one of) Heff's girlfriends in the mansion.
She tells People Magazine that her December cover of Playboy was not a recent shoot, but rather photos from two years ago when she was living in the mansion.
"Hey guys! So I wanted to clear something up really quick! A lot of you saw on my show that I was struggling to decide whether to pose for Playboy again or not. I AM on the December cover of Playboy but it wasn’t from a recent shoot. The photos are from a shoot I did 2 years ago when I was still living in the mansion. I’m flattered to be on the cover again and as you all know Playboy has a very special place in my heart! I just wanted you guys to know I didn’t recently pose."
She should probably start preparing for the backlash.

Next week, Congress will be back in session - but will they deal with extending unemployment or will they pass Tier 5 for the 99ers?
Currently, S3706 is not on the Lame Duck Senate agenda at all. Nancy Pelosi told the Huffington Post that extending UI benefits (filing dates only) is third on her priority list - yet did not mention of the coveted Tier 5. Nancy still runs the House (for now) but S3706 is a Senate bill which requires Harry Reid to put the bill on the Senate floor "Lame Duck" agenda.
Ed Schultz, staunch supporter of the 99er cause, was on The Rachel Maddow Show last night. When asked during Maddow’s new ‘Lame Duck’ segment about what the Democrats should do when they return next Monday, though Ed did mention extending unemployment benefits for those Americans who are “about to lose them” - he did NOT even mention Tier 5 for the 99ers (who have been without UI benefits now 8 months and counting). Say it isn’t so!
This omission by Schultz leads me to believe that he must know Tier 5 isn’t even on the radar when Congress returns. We all know that it is not on the official Congressional schedule, available online. Harry Reid is the one who decides what bills come to the Senate floor - and this is how he shows his gratitude for us saving his job?
My calls this week to the Senate offices of several co-authors of S3706 all had the same result. “The Americans Want to Work Act (S3706) is not scheduled to come to the floor for a vote during the remainder of this session and not likely to ever be considered even next year.”
Personal visits yesterday to the San Diego offices of CA Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstien (on behalf of the 99er community) met the same result. This is an outrage!
I say every 99er and concerned non-99er needs to contact Harry Reid via his staffers and tell them how we feel about being ignored and left to die after saving his butt:
Congressional Toll free Switchboard: 1-866-220-0044 Senator Harry Reid 202-224-3542 REID FAX 202-224-7327 Reno office:Tel 775-686-5750 Fax 775-686-5757
99er Nation, it is time yet again to flood the Ed show with emails http://www.bigeddieradio.com/emailEd/ saying we need his voice for the 99ers to survive! ed@edshultzshow.com
And please do not forget to keep calling the White House Comments Line 202-456-1111 - Comment line is only open 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Monday thru Friday EST. ***REMIND the President that this is an emergency and the very survival of millions of Americans depends on Tier 5 getting passed immediately!

Today marks the 235 years of the United States Marine Corps.
"The Few, The Proud" and "Semper Fidelis" are two of the mottos that the marines live by. The Marines are the smallest branch of the U.S. armed forces.
The Washington Post recalls that Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!"
The New York Daily News recalls how much the USMC has done for its country. The Corps protected Washington from three major British assaults during War of 1812 and stopped the German advance at the Battle of Belleau Wood in World War I. The Corps makes up less than 11percent of the U.S. military, but more than 23 percent of the Americans killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan are Marines.
Tomorrow is Veterans day: so remember and give thanks to those who have fought overseas to protect the rights of the United States.
The KPFA The Morning Show cancellation issue drew 200 people for a rally on Tuesday outside the KPFA studios in Berkeley. The show hosts - Aimee Allison and Brian Edwards-Tiekert, and Morning Show Executive Producer Laura Prives and Esther Manilla - managed to lock themselves in a third floor studio and broadcast their show. (Video courtesy of The Daily Cal.)
That went against the wishes of KPFA Executive Director Arlene Englehardt. She wanted to bring in a radio feed from the sister station in LA. But the LA producers managed to get sick. That paved the way for the guerrila show.
In the audience look for the number of people who aren't using camcorders. That's one problem with media today - it's in the hands of each of us, but we have to know to use it to make a difference.
KPFA and NPR
What is it about Liberal Media lately? Why does it seem like the one medium needed to make a difference is coming apart at the seams? NPR has the embarrassing Juan Williams issue, and KPFA has this matter, where both seem like they're being ran by Old Media thinkers.
