Demi Lovato: 19 (VERY!) Candid Confessions from Her Documentary

Demi Lovato has always been an open book.

The singer has never shied away over the years from discussing her battles with substance abuse and an eating disorder.

In the YouTube documentary "Simply Complicated," Lovato is an open… series of books?

We"re not sure how to phrase it, we just know the artist discusses absolutely everything, from her career to her drug use to her most famous relationship.

Scroll down and then all around for a look at all we learned about Lovato in this revealing film:

1. When Did She First Do Cocaine?

“I was 17 working on Disney Channel, and I was with a couple of friends and they introduced me to it. I was scared because my mom always told me that your heart could just burst if you do it. But I did it anyways and I loved it. I felt out of control with the coke the first time that I did it.”

2. Yes, She Once Punched a Backup Dancer in the Face

After learning someone named Shorty outed her for using Adderall during a Camp Rock 2 tour, “I remember thinking, ‘I’m about to beat this bitch up.’ She had already boarded the plane, I just went up to her and it was like a blur.”

3. This Was a "Breaking Point"

Lovato said she slept the whole day afterward, texted her mom an apology and realized she needed major help.

4. She Entered Rehab, Got Diagnosed as Bipolar…

… and then fell off the wagon: “I wasn’t working my program, I wasn’t ready to get sober. I was sneaking it on planes, in bathrooms, nobody knew. I went on a bender of two months when I was using daily and there was one night where I used a bunch of coke, I popped a few Xanax bars and I started to choke a little bit and my heart started racing. I remember thinking, oh my god, I might be overdosing right now.”

5. This Was the Last Time She Drank:

“I invited 2 random people and basically just drank with them. I got really really drunk until it was time to get on a flight and I was so drunk that I threw up in the back of the car service on the way to the airport to perform on American Idol. I felt like that was a moment in my career where I didn’t care. I just knew that I needed to be high to get through what I was going through at that point.”

6. It Was On to a Sober Living Facility

She retired here every night after judging The X Factor. Said her manager in the documentary of this experience: “She’s having to do chores. She has no cell phone. She’s completely and totally submitted to the process of recovery.”

15 Candid Kardashian Confessions (#9 Will Shock You)

The Kardashian Decade: How a Sex Tape Led to a Billion-Dollar Brand.

This is the pretty fantastic and unfortunately accurate title of a cover story by The Hollywood Reporter from August of 2017.

Indeed, Kim and company burst on to the celebrity gossip scene in 2007… and have been dominating nearly every conversation ever since.

How did they get here? What is the basis for the success? What sort of surprising facts and tidbits did this lengthy feature piece reveal?

Scroll down for some answers!

1. Before She Was a Star…

Kim tells the publication “I was going to [Pierce College], and after school I would go work the cash register at our store, Dash.” This all changed when she was 27 years old.

2. Before There Was Ever Keeping Up with the Kardashians…

“We had talked to producers about doing a show about the three of us running the store, Dash, where Khloe and I would do the day-to-day, and Kim would come in as a stylist,” Kourtney says. “It didn’t go anywhere.”

3. The Key to the Show’s Success

“I sat everyone down and said, ‘If we’re going to do this, we have to be all in. We have to really be who we are.,"” says Kris.

4. Before Settling on a Title…

… E! tossed around ideas such as: The Kardashians: Krazy With a K; Living Kardashian; and Krazy Kardashians.

5. The First Viral Moment:

“The watercooler chatter from the first episode was all about [9-year-old] Kylie jumping on a stripper pole,” Kris now says. “Kim had one installed in my bedroom and our friend Robin Anton, who is the founder of The Pussycat Dolls, was just messing around, and Kylie hops up there, twirls around a couple times, and it became this thing.”

6. When Did Kendall Realize She was a Star?

“Kylie and I did a magazine signing for Seventeen, and it was at some store at The Grove and we had a crazy line around the corner. The store owner came up to us and said, “Justin Bieber was here a week ago and didn’t get this response.”

Sister Wives Reunion Recap: Catfishing Confessions

We had been promised a Sister Wives reunion unlike any other.

Sunday night, TLC delivered on that promise and then some.

With the backdrop of Meri’s catfishing confessions, the stakes were abnormally high heading into Sister Wives Season 6 Episode 14. And it showed.

Kody Brown, his wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, and their children all sat down with Today reporter Tamron Hall to discuss all the drama.

While it was far from the only noteworthy crisis of Season 6, Meri Brown catfished online by a woman pretending to be a man certainly felt like it.

“I didn’t know what to think,” Kody said of the unsettling situation.

“At the time it seemed so vague. I didn’t want to push her … she hasn’t felt well, hasn’t seemed like herself for a long time,” he lamented.

Until Robyn “made” her, Meri didn’t even ‘fess up to her spouse.

“I knew something wasn’t right. I was begging her to talk to me,” Robyn said of her sister wife, and at that point, she decided to reveal all.

“I just knew I had to,” Meri said, adding that her online “friend” threatened to ruin her. “I believe that was the goal – to break up this family.”

If so, #fail. As you know if you watch Sister Wives online, what doesn’t kill the Browns has a way of making them stronger in the end.

“My first reaction was to put on armor and go to war,” Janelle says, while Christine echoed that: “Our job is to keep everybody safe.”

Meri didn’t feel safe. She felt scared as well as rather guilty.

As for Kody’s take on what some call an emotional affair?

“This is somebody who I see was trying to exploit her,” he explained, “to literally harm our family and find some way to damage our kids.”

“So nothing but forgiveness in this case. I see it as a flirt. So what,” he says, noting he doesn’t “even know what” emotional infidelity is.

That’s the company line and he’s sticking to it, anyway.

As Meri sees it, “people are always going to believe what they want to believe,” but someone “targeted us and wanted to tear our family apart.”

That, she reiterates, is “not happening on our watch.”

22 Candid Celebrity Sex Confessions

Sometimes, celebrities make stunning confessions that have to do with their health, their sexuality or any one of several very personal and important topics.

Other times, celebrities simply spill about sex.

These are examples of those latter times, of when stars threw naked caution to the wind and talked openly about various aspects of their bedroom (or backseat!) behavior…

1. Sexual. Napalm.

This remains the greatest quote uttered by one celebrity about another; possibly the greatest quote uttered by anyone ever. Said John Mayer of intercourse with Jessica Simpson: “Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f*****’ snort you? If you charged me $ 10,000 to f*** you, I would start selling all my s*** just to keep f****** you."”

2. I give him a 10! A f-ckin 10!

Elizabeth Hurley dated Hugh Grant for 13 years. And even though he cheated on her with a hooker, the actress still rated Grant as a “10” in bed when speaking to Andy Cohen about their sex life.

3. I give myself a 10!

Speaking of high marks, Katy Perry told Glamour in 2010 that she’s sure ex Russell Brand would have given her a “10 out of 10” in the sack.

4. Ouch!

Maybe she wasn’t a 10 after all? About sleeping with Katy Perry, Russell Brand once said: “I’d be having sex thinking, ‘Think of anyone, anyone else."”

5. And the award for most covert sexual act goes to…

“We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first-class,” Chrissy Teign said of her and John Legend. “We were under a blanket. We weren’t even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that.”

6. Up (or down!) for whatever

In an April 2012 interview for The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, Gwyneth Paltrow admitted to not having a favorite sexual position, simply saying “I’m down with all of them.”
