Demi Lovato

Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato (born August 20, 1992) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actress. She made her debut as child actress in Barney & Friends. In 2008, she came to prominence as a starring cast member in the television film Camp Rock. She signed to Hollywood Records the same year, and released her debut studio album Don't Forget in September. It has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2009, Lovato was commissioned her own television series Sonny with a Chance. That year, her second album Here We Go Again became her first to debut to top the U.S. Billboard 200.

After the release of additional television films and their accompanying soundtracks in 2010, Lovato's personal struggles the following year sent her acting career into hiatus. Her third album Unbroken (2011) addresses several of her difficulties, notably her lead single "Skyscraper". Since 2012, Lovato has served as a judge and mentor on the American version of The X Factor. Her fourth album Demi (2013) was preceded by its lead single "Heart Attack".

Outside of her work in the entertainment industry, Lovato is involved in philanthropic activities through charity work and various social and environmental causes.

Here’s what the 20-year-old singer and X Factor judge had to share with the mag:

On her friends: “I don’t have loads of friends. I used to, but then I realised, ‘do any of them actually care?’ Now I have people who, if I break my leg in the middle of the night, they’ll come to the hospital with me. Or they’ll answer the phone at 4am if I need them. Most of my friends are not in the industry. I don’t like that lifestyle, the paparazzi, going to Hollywood places. I stick to my neighbourhood and to my closest friendships.”

Demi Lovato will return next month with her fourth studio album, as "Demi" has been slated to hit stores on May 14 through Hollywood Records. On Monday (Apr. 1), the album's release date and cover art -- which shows a dead-serious Lovato covered in silver body paint -- were officially unveiled.

The official music video for the album's first single, "Heart Attack," will premiere next Tuesday night (Apr. 9) on E! News. After the song scored Lovato's biggest sales week for a single upon its debut in February, "Heart Attack" sits at No. 21 on the current Hot 100 chart.

This week, Lovato kicks off an ambitious press run, stopping by "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Monday night, "Dancing With The Stars" on Tuesday, "Good Morning America" next Wednesday (Apr. 10) and "Kelly & Michael" next Thursday (Apr. 11). The 20-year-old pop star will also return as a judge on the U.S. version of "The X Factor" this fall.
