I don’t know about you guys, but I think Demi Lovato looks, like, completely different. It isn’t because she put some much-needed weight on in the face, and it isn’t her makeup – I really think something this drastic can only be attributed to a blitzkrieg attack of Photoshop.

I know magazine photo editors want to ensure perfection when they run their issue, and i can understand having to adjust the exposure or the saturation of the photo, but completely changing someone’s face? I don’t get it. May well just put someone else entirely in the photo shoot for all it’s worth.

Anyway.

From the interview, Demi Lovato on her problems with tourmate Alex Welch:

“I was completely out of line all summer. Just the worst attitude—totally ungrateful… I just felt like she’d betrayed me. That’s the bottom line. When you punch someone on a plane, enough is enough. Right after, I texted my mom and just said, ‘I’m sorry.’?”

On her breakup with Joe Jonas:

“I wouldn’t credit my meltdown to a guy. There was so much other stuff in my life.”

On being bullied as a child:

“Those girls never gave me an explanation for why they were bullying me. One of the words they called me was fat. At that age, you think, Oh, so I don’t have friends because I’m fat.”

On being pictured with cutting marks:

“I don’t think I would have been ready to talk about [my problems] then, but I could’ve come up with something better than gummy bracelets. Needless to say, that publicist is no longer with us… (pause). I mean, she’s alive.”

Our baby is growing up! If rumors are true, Kanye West has hired Gordon Ramsay to teach him how to cook. (Kanye reportedly wants to impress his entourage in the kitchen.)

Please, please let this really happen. They’re my two favorite hotheads!

How the first cooking lesson will go, probably:

Gordon: Hello?

Kanye: Yo, dawg, I heard you like fresh herbs in your casserole, so I started a garden on my windowsill.

Gordon: Oh, for F—-’s sake.

Kanye: Hang on, I think I forgot the casserole in the oven. *puts on a tall chef’s hat*

I know Matthew McConaughey is aging well – and by “well,” I definitely mean “without the aid of facial fillers or plastic surgery,” and I definitely commend him for that. He was one hot-ass man fifteen years ago, and to this day he’s still one hot-ass man. BUT. BOYFRIEND. NEEDS. TO STAY OUT OF THE SUN FOR AWHILE. His skin is starting to resemble that of a sweet, vintage leather suitcase. Or, you know, just Donatella Versace.

This is a photo from Matthew’s latest movie, The Paperboy, which also stars Zac Efron, John Cusack (YUM TO THE EXTREME), and Nicole Kidman.

My advice to Matthew?

A: In a word? NO.

But the Jersey Shore bitches are trying really, really hard in their shoot for YRB, which stars like Paris Hilton and Khloe Kardashian have graced the cover of. Yes indeedy, they’re truly giving it the old college try, whatever the eff that means.

Don’t get me wrong: they all look good. All of them, seriously. Even the trollish one who normally makes Snooki look like a frigging tall, willowy beauty pageant winner. It’s amazing, really.

Anyway. I’m going to leave this one up to you guys – the Jersey Shore gals: can you dress ‘em up and make them OK to look at for a few minutes without breaking out into hives and herpes-by-osmosis?

Man, sometimes I’m really back and forth about Lea Michele. Sometimes I think she’s an insufferable drama queen, sometimes I think she’s alright; sometimes I think she’s kind of odd-looking, sometimes I think she’s positively gorgeous – and this time around, she’s scored high in both categories. After seeing these photos of her Bazaar shoot and reading the corresponding interview, I have to say she’s both alright AND gorgeous. For today. You guys know I can’t promise what tomorrow’s going to hold.

On her career:

“I don’t stop.  It’s my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. . . . I want to do movies, make music. Glee is only the beginning.”

On her looks:

“How many managers told me, ‘Get a nose job. You’re not pretty enough’? But I proved them wrong.”

On rumors that she’s a totally vapid diva bitch:

“People have to remember this is all new for us  We’re all reasonably young, except for Cory [Monteith], who’s old.  … I’ve learned some lessons, but people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I’m not perfect.”

On her friends and boyfriend:

“I have a small life.  I just want to be around them [Glee castmates] all day.  [On a typical night, she and Stockman] “cook dinner and have wine.”

See? Sort of likable this time around, right? She’s got the ambition that I so admire in a person, the “small life,” as she says, and the foresight to know claiming perfection at such young age is career suicide.  It works for now.
