New X Factor judge Demi Lovato isn’t simply critiquing hopeful singers these days. She’s going after supermarket tabloids as well.

Hard.

In the wake of the 197th Kate Middleton pregnant lie report, Lovato has taken to Twitter and slammed Star Magazine for its irresponsible photo use.

“So apparently Kate Middleton (William?) is pregnant because of THIS picture…Are you KIDDING ME?!!” Demi Tweeted yesterday, linking to a cropped photo of the cover below, which includes an arrow on Middleton’s svelte stomach and the words: “Expanding Waistline.”

Lovato, of course, has been outspoken about self-esteem issues ever since she entered rehab in late 2010 for cutting, depression and an eating disorder, among other problems.

“And people wonder why girls/guys have body image issues,” Lovato added. “Whether she is or not, she still has a beautiful body. Shame on you Star magazine.”

Whether or not you give Lovato points as an X Factor judge – and THG was actually a big fan – you’ve gotta give the young star nothing but props for speaking out in this case. Way to go, Demi!
