Demi Lovato reveló que, además de sufrir de un trastorno alimenticio, también lidió con otros problemas. En el número más reciente de la revista Seventeen, la joven de 19 años confesó que consumió drogas y abusó del alcohol. Además tuvo peleas serias con Miley Cyrus.
“No voy a mentir. Me estaba automedicando. Estaba haciendo cosas como beber y usar (drogas), como muchos adolescentes hacen para calmar el dolor. [Pero ahora] No bebo, no consumo drogas, no vomito después de mis comidas, no me mato de hambre. No hay nada que me haga sentir avergonzada”, explicó como parte de la entrevista de la que ofrece un resumen el diario El Universal.
Respecto de sus peleas con Cyrus, dijo: “No importa cuántas veces peleemos, siempre estaremos en la vida de la otra.
“[Miley y yo] somos muy cabeza dura, así que cuando discutimos, es brutal y es como ¡nunca volveremos a ser amigas!, pero dos días después estamos de ‘¡te quiero y te extraño!’”, contó la cantante que surgió en Disney Channel.
Con Selena Gomez explicó que no discute, porque es una persona que no gusta de las confrontaciones y que siempre estará en su vida, no importa lo que pase.
Lovato reveló en abril del año pasado que sufría de trastornos alimenticios. Además, confesó que también es bipolar.
En una entrevista para la PEOPLE, la cantante y actriz señaló que no sabía que padecía de esa enfermedad hasta que empezó un tratamiento clínico. “Nunca me di cuenta hasta que fui a tratamiento que era bipolar. Mirando atrás, tiene sentido”, contó la cantante en esa entrevista del año pasado.
“Había veces cuando estaba maniática, que estaba escribiendo siete canciones en una noche y estaba despierta hasta las 5:30 de la mañana”, relató Demi.
Pocos días antes, la joven había dicho que desde pequeña sufría de trastornos como anorexia.

Santa in the summer?: ; Making a market?; Retailers push Christmas themes to energize market shoppers, six months early
The Charleston Gazette (Charleston, WV) July 20, 2010 | Anne D’Innocenzio NEW YORK -Retailers are pumping still more energy this year into trying to get shoppers to loosen their purse strings early for Christmas with sparkly ornaments, holiday music and special prices.
In July.
Target Corp. is entering the game for the first time, with a one- day online sale starting Friday on 500 items from clothing to Blu- ray disc players that’s modeled after sales typically held Thanksgiving weekend. And Sears and Toys R Us are dramatically promoting “Christmas in July” online based on the success they saw in last year’s efforts.
“We really wanted to create that sense of excitement, that sense of urgency,” said Target spokeswoman Molly Hanus. this web site shoe buy coupon code
Retailers pushed Christmas promotions as early as September during the recession as they competed for shoppers’ dwindling dollars and tried to get them back into stores. Some recession- weary shoppers have been glad to spread out the cost of the holidays, especially if discounts average 40 percent like Target’s. But others may be turned off by the snowflakes and Santas and glitz. And stores are divided as well.
“Some merchants, including J.C. Penney and shoe.buy.com, think it’s too early.
“Customers don’t like it when you push Christmas too early,” said Mike Boylston, J.C. Penney’s chief marketing officer.
That’s especially true when shoppers are already putting off buying anything until the moment they actually need it, he said.
Janet Hoffman, global managing partner at Accenture’s retail practice, called July holiday sales “a risky bet.” Shoppers could be inspired to buy more, but summer promotions also can hurt back-to- school buying and depress December business, she said.
Merchants are taking a variety of tactics:
* Target customers can find a link at Target.com for what the chain is calling “Back in Black,” which includes Philips Blu-ray disc players for $99.99 and Liberty of London dresses for $14.99. The 24-hour sale, which starts at 3 a.m. Friday Eastern time, will not be advertised in Target stores.
* Sears Holdings Corp.’s Sears.com and Kmart.com shoppers are invited to “Christmas Lane” to shop for lights, ornaments and outdoor decor, and the websites are temporarily offering free shipping on all orders worth $39 or more.
In more than 500 stores, holiday tunes will be playing at least through July 25 in the seasonal aisles, where customers can touch holiday merchandise liked stuffed animals, ornaments and light-up porcelain houses. Last year’s “Christmas in July” included 200 stores.
* Toys R Us is promoting its summertime discounts more heavily than last year with deals of the day and free shipping through Saturday. site shoe buy coupon code
Natalie Norris-Howser, spokeswoman at Sears Holdings, said the company’s summertime holiday promotions did “very well” last year and it may extend the sale as they did last year to appeal to cautious consumers.
“They’re people in general that don’t have the expendable cash,” she said. The event allows shoppers to see what’s going to be available so they can budget or put items on layaway, she said.
But many other Americans are in the same situation as Isabel Velazquez, 39, a Toys R Us shopper who said she can’t think about spending right now.
“I just got laid off,” the Wilkes-Barre, Pa., resident said.

Retailers that pushed holiday sales earlier and earlier to compete for sales during the recession are pumping up the volume still higher at this year’s Christmas in July events. There are sparkly ornaments, images of Santa and strains of holiday music to get shoppers in the spirit.
