Demi Lovato continues to make strides.

The troubled singer, who spent weeks in rehab for Bipolar Disorder-related issues, has returned to where she most belongs: inside the music studio.

In an interview with Seventeen this week, Lovato gave fans an idea of where her career stands. Will we be seeing a new album from her any time soon? Yes.

We can't wait to see Demi Lovato back on stage.

"I’m hoping to provide inspiration for girls everywhere who are going through the same issues I’ve faced. I think this will come through in a lot of the material,” Demi said of the CD.“My first single is really special to me - to me it symbolizes my journey from the person I was to the happy healthy person I am today, and the fact that people are able to rise above anything, despite the odds.”

Two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash is in the news for two reasons today.

First, the recently-divorced star was spotted with a woman believed to be girlfriend Brittany Richardson at Game 2 of the NBA Finals last night.

Nash was bombarded by texts after ABC showed him on TV, to which he responded on Twitter: “How can I watch the game when I just got a thousand texts for being on tv?! Been there before people. #kindofabigdeal”

Steve and Brittany watch the Mavericks' 95-93 win over the Heat.

Nash and his wife divorced in November - the day after their third child was born - and he and Brittany Richardson have reportedly been dating since.

Meanwhile, the Suns point guard Steve Nash made news by telling the New York Times that he does not think an NBA player admitting to being gay would be a “big issue” and that it would be “surprisingly accepted.”

Here's what Nash had to say about it ...

So You Think You Can Dance made its final auditions stop last night in Los Angeles. 

As always, the evening began with waiting line cheers, high kicks, Cat learning how to move and slow motion flips. Along with Nigel and Mary, Tyce Diorio brought nothing but snarky sound effects to accentuate Mary's yells.

Let's take a look at both the good, the bad and the ugly from the night, shall we?

The Good
Determination: Ariel Cocker auditioned in seasons four, five, and seven and made it through easily. You could see the drive in her eyes. Her walking had the kind of fire that only years of rejection could show.

The Real Housewives of New York City are still on their Moroccan adventure and needless to say, the fireworks haven't stopped.

Find out who made up and who simply gave up in THG's +/- recap!

We open the episode right where we left off last week as the psychic tells Ramona that there is another woman after her husband. Suddenly everyone is speculating whether Mario is cheating on Ramona.

Kelly and Luann are tripping over one another to get the translation correct. They get a Plus 5 for trying to take their jobs seriously but Deduct 3 because their bickering over interpretation made things even more confusing.

Sonja bursts into tears. She does a lot of that this week. Maybe she's flashing on the fact that her husband left her. Maybe she just feels that badly for her good friend Ramona but I'm handing her a Minus 5 because in the end Ramona ended up consoling her. Shouldn't that have been the other way around?

Jill quickly gossips with the crowd that she's heard that Mario's been fooling around. Ooh, that's a Negative 5 on the friend meter.

Pink is officially a mom. Her daughter was born yesterday!

The singer and husband Carey Hart welcomed their baby girl, Willow Sage Hart, on Thursday in Los Angeles, she announced via Twitter.

"We are ecstatic to welcome our new beautiful healthy happy baby girl, Willow Sage Hart," the 31-year-old singer wrote.

"She's gorgeous, just like her daddy. #beyondblessed"

Just one day earlier, the singer sounded ready to meet her baby.

Pink Tweeted a cryptic message on Wednesday about it being a good time for new beginnings under an auspicious astrological sky.

"New Moon in Gemini today :) a good time to start something new... Also called the Honey Moon. #intoit," she wrote.

Congratulations to the happy couple! Or should we say family!

The rebound is over. Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn are no longer dating, sources report. The couple had been together for several months.

Speculation about the pair began after Johansson did not attend the Cannes Film Festival with Penn, who was promoting his movie The Tree of Life.

Scarlett, who also just split with husband Ryan Reynolds, has been working on The Avengers in New Mexico, reprising her Iron Man 2 role.

It was an unexpected coupling from the get-go.

Johansson, 26, and Penn, 50, made headlines when they took a whirlwind trip to Cabo San Lucas after being spotted getting flirty in Los Angeles.

The pair attended a White House Correspondents' Dinner party in Washington D.C. in April and had been spotted in a series of outings in L.A.

It probably wasn't meant to last, though. We wish them both the best.

In round 216 of their never-ending, nauseating battle, Camille Grammer has fired back at her ex, Kelsey.

In mid-May, the former sitcom star filed for custody of the children he shares with the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills.

Now, claiming the actor took such a step "in order to create a false impression to the media and to wrongfully disparage" her, Camille has essentially done the same, submitting documents and fighting for primary custody of kids Mason, 9, and Jude, 6.

In response, TMZ has obtained the legal papers Kelsey has filed in return, which state he has no hope that a settlement will be reached and - once an expert has completed an investigation of all involved - he wants the case to move to trial.

It's an ugly mess, with two young children caught in between.

What is going on in the world of Internet picture-sending?!?

First, Anthony Weiner. Then, Blake Lively. Now, former Ultimate Fighting champion Tito Ortiz is the latest celebrity to possibly be the victim of a hack job.

Earlier today, a naked photo of Jenna Jameson's baby daddy was sent via his personal photo-sharing account, which is connected to Twitter. The picture is of the full-frontal variety. But, of course, Ortiz, pleads innocence, Tweeting soon afterward: "Someone hack my f**king phone."

Aside from bad guy Bentley Williams, Jeff Medolla has caused the biggest stir on The Bachelorette so far this season, and we've yet to see his face.

Until now!

When he arrived in a mask (claiming he didn't want Ashley Hebert to fall for his looks) he didn't exactly endear himself to the other guys, but he stuck to his guns.

Soon enough, though, Ashley will see this:

"I'm here for the right reasons," he told a confused Hebert on The Bachelorette season premiere, where he earned a rose despite her trepidation.

This week, he stole Hebert away during a pre-rose ceremony cocktail party to reveal ... the details of his past. His recovery from a devastating brain hemorrhage, chiefly. At that point, he was about ready to show his face.

Then Matt thwarted his one-on-one time, unfortch, and the mask stayed on.

Insisting that he'll remove his mask during his next date with Hebert, 35-year-old Jeff Medolla is really just an ordinary fella looking for love.

The St. Louis-based entrepreneur is "the most normal guy," says a friend. "He has more swagger than any of the other guys in the house!"

For all the scoop on Ashley's season, check out The Bachelorette spoilers here!

Jaycee Lee Dugard's kidnapper Phillip Garrido was sentenced to 431 years in prison today. If only he could serve all of that and then some.

His wife Nancy also earned 36 years Thursday in a Placerville, Calif., courtroom. If nothing else, neither should enjoy another second of freedom.

The husband and wife both pleaded guilty to kidnapping Jaycee Dugard from a Lake Tahoe, Calif., bus stop when the poor girl was just 11.

Jaycee was held as a prisoner in their backyard for 18 years and was raped repeatedly, giving birth to two daughters over that time.

He impregnated Jaycee for the first time when she was just 13, and again at age 16 and she gave birth both times to daughters.

Since her miraculous discovery and escape, she lives with her mom and the two girls. You have to see this 2009 Jaycee Dugard photo.

Jaycee was not in the court for the sentencing, but her mother Terry Probyn read a statement from her before the sentencing:
