Selena: "I Feel Like a Pretty Normal Person"!

Selena, we're not sure we'd call the life you're leading "normal"...
In a recent interview with Nación, Selena Gomez talked about how she feels being so famous at 18.  We've translated some of her answers below!
What would you say has been your secret to staying problem-free, as opposed to other young celebrities?
"It has to do with surrounding yourself with incredible people: I have the most amazing team; they're great friends and a good family.  Try and enjoy it, and, although at times it can be overwhelming, you just have to assure yourself that you have the right people on your side.
Have you ever felt that you've lost out on anything because of being famous?
No. No. I feel like a pretty normal person, I go through the same stuff that everyone goes through when they're 18.  It's just a little different.
One of the prices of fame is that people want to know everything about you.  How do you deal with that?
It's a little strange and awkward to be with your friends and the people want to know where you were and what you ate.  It doesn't seem normal to me and I try not to focus on that.

Demi Lovato Opens Up About Struggles


Demi Lovato sat down with Good Morning America host Robin Roberts for an honest chat that aired on GMA and 20/20. In it, Demi opens up about struggles that she's faced for years privately that she's finally facing head-on, thanks to her time in rehab.
Watch below as Demi talks about the bullying that lead to her eating disorder, depression, and self-mutilation. And she also reveals for the first time that she had "no idea" that she was bipolar.

Demi Lovato Leaves Sonny With A Chance


After leaving treatment for "emotional and physical issues" in January, Demi Lovato has returned to her usual life -- hanging with friends and family and recording music. But there's one part of her life she will be leaving behind -- her show, Sonny With A Chance.
"It made sense for me to go ahead and leave the show to focus on my music," Demi says. "It's kind of sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended but there couldn't be a better time for me to move on. I don't think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery. Being in front of a camera would make me nervous."
Demi's announcement may not come as a huge shock to many because when Demi took a break from the show to focus on her recovery, her castmate Brandon Mychal Smith announced that the show was changing it's title to So Random, which would ultimately take the focus off Demi's character Sonny and put more emphasis on the sketch comedy show within the show. So as a result, rumors began to swirl that Demi would eventually announce her departure from Sonny.
