“I don’t know what’s better…Being healthy and really happy, or people noticing how healthy and really happy you are? It’s just surreal. I never knew this kind of happiness existed. Cherishing this moment…So thankful for recovery. God is good.”
Which Hollywood star raved about being in the highest of spirits as we approach the New Year?
The 20-year-old Unbroken artist has seemingly come into her own after succumbing to her inner demons back in 2010. Plagued by Hollywood pressures to be thin and beautiful, Lovato found herself the brink of a mental breakdown. The starlet snapped and punched one of her dancers on tour, and subsequently checked herself into rehab.
Since her release from rehab, Lovato has been outspoken about her struggle with bulimia, battle with depression, and bipolar disorder diagnosis, hoping to help others who may be enduring the same personal torment.
With a covetable spot as a celebrity judge on X Factor, a new album on the way, and now, these over-the-top blissful tweets, she appears to have succeeded with her recovery.
We wish you well, Demi!
Do you think the former Disney star will hold her place on Simon Cowell’s X Factor, or will she get the axe that is allegedly coming to co-host Britney Spears, as well? Sound off in the comments below.

Revenge fans still have several more weeks before the much-anticipated nuptials between Jack and Amanda, but these set photos will have to do for now.
Earlier this week, several members of the ABC cast, including Emily VanCamp, Gabriel Mann, Nick Wechsler, Margarita Levieva and Christa B. Allen, were spotted in a sea of wedding white on the Redondo Beach, Calif. set.
Stepping away from their serious characters, the cast took some time to relax and pose for silly pictures in between scenes.
“That wedding is going to happen,” Nick Wechsler told Wetpaint earlier this month.
“It’s good because as that nears, the audience goes, ‘That’s not going to happen though, right? They’re not actually going to get married?’ Like they did with the kid . . . . and then the kid is mine. And the reason this matters to them is because they’re constantly rooting for Jack and Emily.”
The “kid,” who was also spotted on set, has made Revenge very tough season for Wechsler’s character, as fans know. But does this mean the Jack and Emily book is closed forever?
“I don’t actually know. Some of the rules of [Jack’s] behavior are, I think, that you only do the wrong thing if you can justify it morally . . . I also wouldn’t be surprised if Emily did make the move, and he turned her down because it’s like, ‘I can’t. It wouldn’t be right, right now. Maybe one day, if [Amanda] and I aren’t together or something,’” he told Wetpaint.
Their love might have ended on Revenge, but in real-life, costars Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman are growing from strength to strength.
The pair attended the Mending Kids International’s ‘Four Kings & An Ace’ Celebrity Poker Tournament at The London Hotel on Saturday night in West Hollywood, Calif. and shared an intimate moment in front of a cavalcade of Tineltown stars, an onlooker tells Celebuzz.
“At one point during the night, Emily and Josh were gazing into each others’ eyes over popcorn,” said the partygoer.
“Emily looked stunning in a nude and black cocktail dress while Josh complimented her outfit with a chic suit and tie.
“After exchanging a few glances and laughing together, Emily and Josh headed to one of the VIP rooms where the celebrity poker tournament was underway.”
The couple took up seats next to their Revenge co-star Nick Wechsler, who plays Jack Porter on the hit ABC series.
Added the insider: “They spent most of the rest of their night in the poker room, hanging out and chatting amongst the three of them.”
VanCamp’s season two love interest Barry Sloane, who plays Aiden Mathis, the mysterious man from Emily’s past, was also in attendance.
“Mathis was gambling for a good cause with his costar Ashley Madekwe at the Blackjack table,” added the partygoer.
Others taking part in the high-stakes poker tournament in the private rooms in the back of the venue (player tickets were $10,000/per person) included event co-hosts Robert Downey Jr., Jodie Foster, Sean Penn and Gene Simmons.
Other notables on-hand for the party included Mel Gibson, Camille Grammer, Patricia Arquette and American Idol winner Lee Dewyze.
The star-studded guests played casino games like Craps and Blackjack, enjoying treats like popcorn and cigars as well as cocktails provided by El Cartel Tequila, which is infused with 24 Karat Gold flakes.

When a show entitled Revenge delivers an episode entitled “Forgiveness” that is any episode but the series finale, you just know that the actual act of forgiving can’t truly be carried out to fruition.
Armed with the new memory that her mother tried to kill her, Emily (Emily VanCamp) set off for the hospital first thing when she learned Amanda (Margarita Levieva) was awake. After all, Mommy Dearest hadn’t yet tried to smother her with a pillow, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t planning something.
Note: Spoilers ahead for Sunday night’s “Forgiveness”.
The first time Emily heard her mother’s voice, directed at her, after all those years was priceless. Her whole body tensed, and you could literally feel how it was taking everything in her power not to attack. Instead, though, she managed to stay calm throughout their brief discussion—even when Mason Treadwell (Roger Bart) sidled up and began grilling Kara (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Maybe Emily was just enjoying watching her mother squirm; we know we were!
Kara’s main interest, though, was to get information on her beloved Gordon, so her first stop was Grayson Manor, where she reinserted herself into Victoria’s (Madeleine Stowe) life like she had just been away at a timeshare in Italy, not presumed dead for two decades. It was a bit of a mind game with the timeline of the flashbacks as Victoria claimed she, too, really believed Kara was dead all this time and then kept up the charade that David had duped them both. Victoria invited Kara to stay in Grayson Manor—you know, so she could go through her things later, not out of the goodness of her heart or anything.
Fearing that Kara already knew too much and was feeding information to members of the Initiative who would not only come after the eldest Graysons, but also the younger ones, Conrad (Henry Czerny) re-proposed to Victoria. Because everyone knows “for better or worse” also means “legally unable to spill secrets testifying against each other.”
Amanda moved into Emily’s house and Emily invited Kara over so the two women could have their official reunion. Surprisingly, Emily confided in Amanda first—the whole story—and even more surprisingly, she didn’t outwardly rage when eavesdropping on Kara trying to make amends with Amanda, or when Amanda said she forgave her. It certainly wasn’t in Emily’s plan, but her emotions must have been raging because she let it slide. We don’t think it was a moment of recalculating; we think it was a moment of sheer grief over everything she lost and the slim chance she could get a fraction of it back. In fact, it had her so turned upside-down she even admitted to Amanda that little baby Carl is actually Jack’s.
Amanda and Emily may be out of harm’s way from both Victoria and Kara right now, but Mason had a trick up his sleeve. He spied Amanda’s bare back in her hospital gown and realized she no longer had the scars from her foster fire. He confronted her at Emily’s house, and she kept quiet, but he left her with what was assumedly copies of his evidence that she’s not the real Amanda Clarke. Let’s hope she chooses to confide swiftly in Emily because she in no way could handle him on her own!
It seemed liked Nolan (Gabriel Mann) was going to have to do a whole lot of his own forgiving, too: first of Emily, for not really being there for him at all, especially now that his dad, too, is dead. He delivered one of the best lines of the episode when he pointed out to her that his dad may not have died in prison, but the loss still hurt. But more importantly, he either has to forgive or take down Padma (Dilshad Vadsaria), who was making unauthorized inquiries about his accounts over at Grayson Global. We have to admit, as much as we want Nolan to have a story outside of Emily (and a love interest wouldn’t hurt), she is kind of a dud thus far—certainly no match for his own cunning anyway.
And speaking of Grayson Global, Daniel (Josh Bowman) was still putting on the big boy suit and sitting behind his desk, taking meetings with clients’ proxies and pretending to know what he was doing, but his petchulantly childish emotions bled through and he just couldn’t shut his big mouth about his hatred for his daddy in front of Aiden (Barry Sloane). First of all Daniel, Americans are not known for “honesty” the way you tried to excuse your whining. Second of all, it pisses us off to no end that Aiden is basically helping Daniel get something over on Nolan by implying that Grayson Global owns part of Nolcorp simply because an employee may have invested with personal funds. Corporate America is the biggest bummer; it owns everyone, now Daniel included.
OMG!: Why the hell was Emily keeping Gordon’s cell phone at all, let alone keeping it on!? Has she learned nothing from Nolan? The locations of cell phones are the easiest things to trace!
Thank you, TV gods: With the Stowaway already cleaned up by the end of the episode, Revenge isn’t dragging out the seemingly unnecessary story of Kenny wanting to buy the bar from the Porters.
Awk-ward: Kara and Victoria’s hug. Let’s be honest: that moment was the definition of the word.
Hotness: Emily woke up next to Aiden after what we are pretending was a night of grief sex after her memories of her mother returned.
Fab-u-lous: Only Nolan would show up to the hospital in such a snazzy suit!
Can. Not. Wait.: Will Emily call upon Aiden for help with Mason or continue to push him away, leaving him to make scorned moves on his own that end up hurting her and her friends?

What did you think of “Forgiveness”? Tell us your review in the comments below!
On a typical soap opera, a character who slipped into a “coma-like state” would linger unconscious for months on end, as new drama flared at their bedside. A character back from the dead would equally start wreaking havoc the minute he or she returned, sauntering in triumphantly, sending all those who wronged him or her in the past scattering and shaking.
But ABC’s Revenge is hardly a typical soap opera.
It takes just about no time (less than a full episode) for Amanda (Margarita Levieva) to make a seemingly full recovery on Revenge. On the next all-new episode, “Forgiveness,” she not only wakes up in the hospital to meet her new baby for the very first time, but she is “reunited” with the former Mrs. Clarke (Jennifer Jason Leigh).
Though Kara reentered the high society Hamptons world from which she disappeared two decades earlier quietly– by slinking into the shadows by her assumed daughter’s bedside– she does not stay hidden there. Getting to meet her adult daughter and hold her first grandchild is one thing, but soon she makes a trip to Grayson Manor to see her “old friend” Victoria (Madeleine Stowe). From the looks of the episode preview photos Celebuzz has obtained, both women may have a few tricks up their sleeves for each other.
Whether or not Amanda has all of her memories after she awakens from her trauma may not nearly be as tough for Emily (Emily VanCamp) to navigate, though, as the fact that now she has to keep an eye on Kara. The timing of her reappearance is bound to be worrisome for someone as suspicious as Emily. After all, motherly love is an excuse that only goes so far when she *ahem* tried to kill that very same daughter years earlier and then subsequently stayed away from her for the better part of her life.
Additionally, the snoopy Mason Treadwell (Roger Bart) is back in the picture, bringing with him more trouble for both Victoria and Emily. And when Conrad (Henry Czerny) gets involved, all bets will really be off.
However, the episode title is the truly ominous piece of this puzzle. The act of forgiveness is to release the desire to punish someone for perceived wrongs, but just who is doing the forgiving here– and to whom is the act extended? Without the desire for vengeance, this would be a whole other show!
Revenge airs on Sunday nights at 9 PM on ABC.

ABC’s Revenge star Emily VanCamp recently turned up the heat in racy lingerie for the November issue of GQ magazine.
Posing for the camera, the 26-year-old starlet donned a plunging, cleavage-baring push-up bra, underneath a modest red cardigan. VanCamp looked extra playful, sporting a pink plastic water gun.
And she isn’t the only celeb to grace the pages of GQ magazine in busty apparel. Celebs seem to be attracted to the allure of flaunting their assets in print — especially for this mag.
Other A-listers such as Mad Men star January Jones, Glee‘s Lea Michele, and Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton have stripped down for GQ.
Leaked images from Kate Upton’s July 2012 cover shoot came out recently in October — featuring more provocative images of the 20-year-old model, styled by famed photographer Terry Richardson (who has also captured the likes of Cameron Diaz andLindsay Lohan).
Upton’s GQ shoot was so sexy that it was banned on YouTube, but that didn’t stop the pics from surfacing — only goes to show just how steamy celebrity GQ shoots can be.

She may be slipping into some pretty racy lingerie for the November issue of GQ, but Revenge‘s Emily VanCamp admits she’s still a tomboy a heart.
“I did ballet, which taught me how to be poised and graceful, but still, to this day I’d rather be fishing than going to some glamorous party,” she told the magazine. “It’s so therapeutic.”
As much as the the 26-year-old may want to rough it in the wilderness (she is from Canada, after all), she also opened up about her romantic side and dished about her off-screen romance with co-star Josh Bowman.
“I want to live happily. And if I love a person, I’m not going to be ashamed and hide it,” she said.
“I actually get anxious a lot. I can be really socially awkward,” she continued. “You never want to be the weird, introverted girl in the corner shaking. I feel like that though. I can be a bit standoffish when I’m meeting new people. I like to take a second and figure out who I’m dealing with.”
Though VanCamp also says she’s nothing like her character on the hit ABC drama, she says she does thorouughly enjoy playing the part of a scorned woman.
“Yeah, I always feel like I’m playing a character when I’m in a beautiful dress, with my hair coiffed. I like getting down and dirty,” she confessed. “It’s really fun.”
“There’s nothing better than setting an asshole’s house on fire. It’s those moments when I think, ‘I love my job!’”

The real-life lovebirds posed for the seductive snaps alongside their castmates, as they all took turns getting moody for the camera. VanCamp, 26, stunned in a form-fitting white evening gown, as Bowman, 24, did his best James Bond impression while holding a hand gun.
Check out the sexy photos in the gallery above.
Meanwhile, Nick Wechsler, 34, got a punch in the mouth from his on-screen brother Connor Paolo, 22, who seemed pretty keen to show off his brotherly love for the shoot.
Scene-stealer Gabriel Mann stripped down to his briefs for a shirtless photo with his male co-stars. The 40-year-old actor also got up-close-and-personal with Ashley Madekwe, 30, who can be seen pointing a gun at Mann’s handsome face.
As for Mann’s on-screen persona Nolan, the actor recently teased to Celebuzz that some romance may fly his way this season.
“Everybody gets a love interest,” Mann said. “I may get multiples, any number of genders. We will see. I was trying to imagine what was the first … has there been a bisexual love triangle on prime-time TV? I think we’re going to explore that.”
As our favorite shows finally come back for a new season — and the new ones we’ve been anticipating for months finally debut — we’re not just tuning in to see the latest guest-star on Glee (Kate Hudson!
