Demi Lovato

A few weeks ago, Demi Lovato told Ryan Seacrest that Trace Cyrus was simply a "really good friend."

But Lovato was either lying; didn't emphasize the really strongly enough; or forgot to add the words "... with benefits" to her description.

After all, these two rising stars have continued to flirt via Twitter, as Miley's older brother relayed the following two messages to Lovato (and thousands of others, of course) last night:

@ddlovato so soon! I'm so ready to get home to you.

@ddlovato you don't realize how excited I am! My tour manger is bookin my flight now! Your all I've thought about ever since I left town. <3

Demi's public response? So happy! <3 Ahhhh... Life is very, VERY good right now. :D :D :D

For those unversed in the world of Twitter, the pair just exchanged digital hearts back and forth. Obvi.

Expect Demi Lovato to come out any day now and, once again, deny any relationship between her and Cyrus. But this begs the question:

Why is the duo exchanging such obvious flirtations in such a public forum?!? Have they not heard of Email? Text messaging? Can readers please explain to us the point of Tweeting directly to another individual?

Perhaps we were too quick to dub Lovato as the "anti-Miley Cyrus." She may date older men and crave attention after all.

As the anti-Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato doesn't make news by posing for lewd photos or milking the death of Michael Jackson for attention.

Instead, she simply makes fun music and stars on the TV show Sonny with a Chance.

During a recent interview with WWD.com, Lovato said the acting is just a means to pay for the singing, however. She's not Lindsay Lohan (thank goodness) or Hilary Duff; Demi isn't caught between professional worlds.

Here's what else the lovely teenager had to say:

On her career: Acting is just kind of a way to pay for the singing. I mean, not anymore. Acting now is like a new challenge, new hobby, a new passion even.

On fashion choices: [I] wear and do what I want. Sometimes, when I want to wear a really hot skirt or something, I think, ‘Would you want your little sister to wear that skirt in two years? No.

On her age: I wish I was older a lot of the time. Because I feel like an adult and I’m working like an adult, but then I wake up and I’m 16 and it’s weird.

Demi Lovato, thank goodness, is the anti-Paris Hilton. She doesn't party every night at clubs, she's never made a sex tape and, to the best of our knowledge, she loves to wear underwear.

But the Disney actress does have one thing in common with the most promiscuous of hotel heiresses: taste in fashion.

Hilton hit The Late Show with David Letterman in this Alexander Wang dress last week, while Lovato attended the Toronto premiere of Princess Protection Program in the same outfit.

Who wears it better?

It's a good time to be a fan of teenage singers.

A couple days ago, we announced Miley Cyrus tour dates and locations for the fall.

Now, just a few weeks before its release, we've got our hands on the album cover for Demi Lovato's upcoming album, "Here We Go Again."

When asked about the CD, which hits stores on July 21, Demi cited the difference between this effort and her previous one:

“I think [my last album] Don’t Forget was a lot more Jonas sounding. It had a little more of their feel on it. But this album is just me.”

Will you purchase Demi Lovato's new album?

The Demi Lovato/John Mayer lovefest is getting stronger by the day.

A month after the musicians exchanged complimentary Tweets, Lovato is going on and on about the inspiration her new pal provides.

"He inspired a lot of the album just because he's an incredible musician," Demi said in an interview with Buzznet.

Asked if there are any of Mayer's she'd like to perform with him, Demi could name a few... hundred!

"Every single one! Oh my gosh. I think he's one of the greatest musicians ever! Definitely of our time, but ever!"

Demi Lovato is on her knees for John Mayer these days. It's a bit sickening.

Is Demi Lovato performing in a city near you this summer? Most likely.

The 16-year-old singer, and star of the Disney Channel's Sonny with a Chance, will headline a 2009 summer tour, Hollywood Records announced this morning. The huge North American tour begins June 21 in Hartford, Connecticut

"I'm so excited about headlining my own tour. I love life on the road. I’m in a different city every night and it never gets old," Lovato told People.

We already knew that John Mayer was a douchebag.

But might he be a shady, Justin Gaston-like douchebag?

The ex-boyfriend of Jennifer Aniston recently Twittered his affection for 16-year old Demi Lovato. Granted, he was just giving props to her vocal stylings, but we can't help but question the older singer's intentions.

We don't wanna know what John Mayer is fantasizing about in this photo.

"I have ‘La La Land’ by @ddlovato stuck in my head. Actually, it’s not stuck. I’m choosing to sing it. B section is sophisticated. You’re going to make lots of records, I can tell," Mayer wrote.

This led to a couple back-and-forth Tweets between the artists. We've recounted them below:

Lovato: “Holy crap. THANK YOU. You’re so awesome. That is quite possibly the best compliment I’ve received in this business. Thank you so, so much….. !!!!!!”
Mayer: “Write one song at a time, never apologize for any of them, ever. From Wonderland to Trio stuff, they’re all my kids.”
Lovato: “See, That’s exactly what I needed to hear today. Wow. If that’s not inspiration, then I don’t know what is! You’re incredible.”

That's one adjective for Mayer. We could think of a few more.

Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities, or John Mayer for that matter, are thinking right this second? Well, thanks to the marvelous invention known as Twitter, you can wonder no longer - just subscribe to their innermost thoughts.

You can start your Friday off with some inspirational words from Diddy, for example. He aims to motivate and carry you throughout your day, wherever it may lead:

Some stars, like Selena Gomez, are looking forward to a weekend with family ... and venting about celeb gossip rumors linking them romantically to friends.

Then there's Demi Lovato, who's Twatting about (what else) Twitter itself, and how she wants to reach out to a certain douchebag musician ...

God knows why, since this is all he has to say. Why say anything? Seriously, no wonder Jennifer Aniston reportedly dumped his dumb ass over this crap ...

We hope you're taking notes, Miley Cyrus. This is how a 16-year old is supposed to act!

While Cyrus is mocking Asians and posing half-naked, Demi Lovato is hanging out with sea lions in the Bahamas.

The adorable young singer recently jetted to Paradise Island in the Bahamas for some fun in the sun. She may have spent time there with a few human fans, but the pics Lovato took alongisde a sea lion are especially cute.

To wit:

Isn't it great to see Demi Lovato act her age? Click on the photos below for more examples...

The Jonas Brothers aren't the only young stars receiving their own TV show this year.
