Demi Lovato, who has very openly struggled with self-esteem, took the ultimate challenge today – and posted a picture of herself in a bikini on Twitter!

Lovato, who recently completed treatment for an eating disorder, posted the above picture on her Twitter, saying, “I’ve been working so hard to get healthy and fit.. I can’t believe I’m about to do this but I’m so excited.. Here’s my bikini time body!”

She adds, “I never thought I’d ever feel confident enough to ever to that. I’m excited how far I’ve come since being completely ashamed of my body.. I want any girl/guy out there who struggles with body image or confidence to know that it IS possible to find peace with yourself.”

“It hasn’t been easy, but it starts with a commitment to yourself.. Your mind.. And your soul. And trust me, I’m still working at it!! Haha.”

Weight has been a constant issue for Lovato, who told Good Morning America last month she’s had “a really unhealthy relationship with food” for the past 10 years — and also said she was “bullied because I was fat.”

She looks amazing! It’s awesome she’s in a place where she feels confident enough to do this. What would it take for you to post a picture of yourself in a bikini online!

Adele has found huge success in writing about her failed relationships. In fact, she used her heartbreak to write ’21′, which has been dominating the Billboard charts like very few artists have been able to do.  She tells Out Magazine, she would do anything to get her failed relationship back, even if it meant giving up her fame.

“I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for not making my relationship with my ex on 21 work, because he’s the love of my life,” she says, before adding that she would have been willing to give up everything for him. Everything? “Well, I would still be singing in the shower, of course, but yeah — my career, my friendships, my hobbies. I would have given up trying to be the best.”

If Adele writes best when she’s confused about love, or upset that what she has is not working, it seems there could a lot more hit records on the way, as it may be tough to find what she had with her ex-boyfriend.

“He was my soul mate. We had everything — on every level we were totally right. We’d finish each other’s sentences, and he could just pick up how I was feeling by the look in my eye, down to a T, and we loved the same things, and hated the same things, and we were brave when the other was brave and weak when the other one was weak — almost like twins, you know–and I think that’s rare when you find the full circle in one person, and I think that’s what I’ll always be looking for in other men.”

I’m finding this interview to be a bit strange. If they “had everything” why didn’t it work? If they were “totally right on every level” wouldn’t it have lasted? I don’t know, I find the interview sad, and depressing. I don’t know if I could find myself so publicly pining over an ex who dumped me. I hate to use the word – but it just sounds so …. desperate?

She’s so beautiful, and so talented! Go find a better man who won’t leave you!

I’m not a country-music fan, so I’m not going to pretend like I knew who Blake Shelton was before watching NBC’s “The Voice”. Since watching him on TV, I’ve become a huge country fan! I should say – a huge country-singer fan. The music part I’m still working on. Well, over the weekend, the country-hottie married his princess, Grammy-winner Miranda Lambert.

The 27-year-old “House That Built Me” singer wed longtime love Blake Shelton late Saturday evening at Texas’ Don Strange Ranch, the couple confirms to Us Weekly exclusively.

Wearing her mother’s wedding dress, Lambert walked down the aisle in front of 550 family members and friends (including Reba McEntire, Cee Lo Green, Martina McBride, Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelly and the Bellamy Brothers).

“I’m married to my best friend!” Lambert told Us after the ceremony. “Looking forward to a lifetime of laughter.”

Added Shelton, 34: “I wanted to be married to Miranda the day I proposed. Finally, it’s official!”

Dating since 2006, The Voice mentor asked for Lambert’s hand in marriage last May. “I fumbled it up a little,” he told Us of the proposal. “It’s funny how you rehearse those things and go over what you want to say, but I probably screwed it up.”

Fortunately, Lambert didn’t seem to notice. “He did a really good job,” she insisted. “He’s always nervous around me, though — and that’s how I like it!”

This is the first marriage for Lambert; Shelton was married to Kaynette Williams from 2003-2006.

Jennifer Lawrence opens up in the new Elle Magazine about her new-found fame. After being nominated for an Oscar for her performance in ‘Winters Bone’, the actress will star in the new X-Men: First Class.

On getting ready for the Oscars

“Fifteen minutes before, the guy doing my hair goes, ‘If you can get a salad, get a salad…I said, ‘I’m getting a Philly cheesesteak.’ I’m sure there’s proof on a hotel bill somewhere.”

On preparing for her role in X-Men First Class

“I knew that if I was going to be naked in front of the world, I wanted to look like a woman and not a prepubescent 13-year-old boy…I’m so sick of people thinking that’s what we’re supposed to look like.”

On growing up with two older brothers:

“Being the youngest and the only girl, I think everyone was so worried about me being a brat that they went in the exact opposite direction of treating me like Cinderella. I’d slap my brother on the arm, and he’d throw me down the stairs. I was always like, ‘Can we talk about excessive force, please?’”

On getting used to star treatment:

“When you’re on set, everybody’s like, ‘Oh, do you need water? Here’s 45 bottles!’ It’s really bizarre…I’m still getting used to it. I’m still in wonderland.”

Gwen Stefani is spotted chatting on her cell phone aboard Roman Abramovich’s Yacht ‘Luna’ in Cannes, France.

The 41-year-old mother of two was spotted on the $220 million yacht! $220 million!

The star and her rocker husband Gavin Rossdale, 45, are guests on Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich’s superyacht Luna with their sons, Kingston, who’s five next week, and two-year-old Zuma.

It’s a wonder she even wanted to leave the vessel, which the couple have been on for the past three days, having arrived on Thursday.

Moored just off Antibes near Cannes, and not far from Abramovich’s home, the ocean-going mansion has two helipads, bullet-proof windows, each bedroom has its own cinemas sized TV and there’s an onboard covered swimming pool.

Any whim of Miss Stefani’s could also be catered for by any number of the crew of 40, who include butlers and chefs specialising in macrobiotic food.

Plus, it was good enough for Madonna, who was a guest on the 377ft vessel last year, and Bono and Natalie Portman who were guests on the yacht for the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

But it seems Miss Stefani fancied a spell on dry land and appeared to catch up with some friends at the hotel in Antibes, which is between Cannes, where the Film Festival is currently taking place, and Nice.

Abramovich was ranked number 15 in Forbes 2008 rich list and has a current estimated worth of $11.2billion.

I need friends like those! Jeez!

In what most everyone saw as a huge publicity stunt, Donald Trump had been flirting with the idea of running for president. I’m not sure who – if anyone – was buying it, but he released a statement today officially announcing he’s NOT running for president.

Full statement:

After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.

I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words. So, I make you this promise: that I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician’s thoughts. My ability to bring important economic and foreign policy issues to the forefront of the national dialogue is perhaps my greatest asset and one of the most valuable services I can provide to this country. I will continue to push our President and the country’s policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness. Issues, including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country’s conversation. They are now being debated vigorously. I will also continue to push for job creation, an initiative that should be this country’s top priority and something that I know a lot about. I will not shy away from expressing the opinions that so many of you share yet don’t have a medium through which to articulate.

I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country’s most important issues and am hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she will have the courage to take on the challenges of the Office and be the agent of change that this country so desperately needs.

Thank you and God Bless America!

Donald J. Trump
