I don't blame Disney, I blame her parents. Kids who spend their formative years in the spotlight, unable to have a normal childhood, frequently end up in some kind of train wreck.

Wow Disney - way to go on keeping up with TLC on ruining children's lives!

"emotional and physical issues," aka cocaine and alcohol abuse are just a few of the Disney Star factory side effects. Sad story. again.

Most people would lose their jobs if they pulled a stunt like this. Disney will probably give her a raise.

Most people are easily replaceable and totally unrecognizable by more than family and friends.

Now, I've never watched a Disney show in my life, I don't think. And I didn't know who Ms. Lovato was until this whole thing went down. But a good number of people (kids) seem to know her and like her.

In other words, she's not "most people" from the sounds of it. Again, I could be wrong, not having ever watched any of her shows.

But this reminds me of the kinds of things people say about pro athletes. And it's just as true there: they can't be replaced with an ad in the paper (usually). If you are a MLB player, for example, you are, arguably, one of the top 1000 players IN THE ENTIRE WORLD out of nearly 7 billion people (taking position, etc. into consideration).

Googling Demi Lovato's name gives me over 43.000.000 results. I'm guessing that she's not easily replaceable.

She's doing illegal drugs, underage drinking, and physically attacked a coworker. I don't care how many google hits she has. She doesn't need to be on a children's channel.

Deep down there is a made for TV movie here or book deal.

I think it's likely so hard to be a teen growing up in front of the world.
Being compared to others and to be perfect.

Also perhaps her tour, and little fling with the pure Jonas Bro, didn't help her heart either.

Little white girls?

Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are Latina. Raven Symone is black, Brenda Song is Asian.... and that's just going off the top of my head.

Disney, the conglomerate that rammed such non-talents down our throats as Justin Timberlake and Brittany Spears, only wants what's best for this young girl, so they can force her CD's on us for many years to come.

Three cheers for the Disney Trainwreck Factory!

Maybe Demi might have a chance at recovery with a little time in...Disney Rehab!

What a deep thinker you must be
05:10 PM on 11/13/2010
To the roots of things. A true radical.

I am a deep thinker when there's something deep to think about. She screams all of her songs, and they all sound the same. What is she so angry about?
