Demi Lovato Update: Sources Deny Drugs, Raise Questions Over Deceased Friend

"Demi is not in treatment for drugs. She is there to deal with emotional and physical issues she's been battling her whole life."
These are the words of family friend, shooting down recent rumors that Demi Lovato entered a rehab facility due to a problem with cocaine and alcohol.
So, is there a specific issue that forced this young singer to leave her Sorth American tour and seek help? Possibly, reports Star Magazine

In July, an aspiring musician named David Osborn died in a tubing accident. An insider claims Lovato had grown close to the rocker, who she met at a mutual friend's party in December. Soon after his passing, Demi Tweeted:

"Can't wait to see you again in heaven... Texas isn't the same without you... RIP Dave Osborn."

While it's possible the death of a loved one played a role in Demi's demise - which culminated in a physical confrontation with a backup dancer in Peru - the same source that denies this troubled star used drugs also tells People her downfall was related to a lot more than just one incident.

"This is a girl with emotional problems who has been fighting demons her whole life... She is determined to get better."

Inside the (Fake) Kardashian Sister Split!

Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian have been spotted together numerous times over the last few weeks, most recently at the opening for Dash NYC.
But beneath the red carpet smiles and plastic body parties, Life & Style has breaking, utterly contrived news for fans of thees siblings: they hate each other!!!
"When Khloé arrived in NYC, Kim wanted nothing more than for the three sisters to hit the town together and have fun," an insider tells the tabloid. "But Khloé said Kim was being a selfish bitch. Kim burst into tears and rushed out of the room."

Forget a pretend Kardashian split... Amber Portwood has three boyfriends AND a baby?!?

Indeed, while Kim claims to be content with her single life, such a contrast with her siblings has apparently created an opportunity for imaginary sources to give fake quotes a riff.

"Kim definitely feels abandoned," says this family friend. "It's clear that Kourtney and Khloé are bonding over being settled down, and Kim just doesn't fit in."

It really is clear, isn't it, people?

The magazine claims Kourtney and Khloe are also freezing Kim out of their business, making decisions about clothing locations inside Dash without consulting their sister.

"They've grown apart much more than Kim had realized. It's made her very sad," reads this cover story.

Will Bristol Palin Make the Finals on Dancing With the Stars?

Will Bristol Palin make the finals on Dancing With the Stars? Don't count her out, the way she's been improving people have inexplicably been voting.
Week after week, Palin has landed at the bottom of the scoreboard, but week in and week out, a far superior dancer packs his or her bags instead.
With only four couples left, there's a fair chance Bristol the Pistol ends up in the finals. What is it about Sarah Palin's daughter that keeps her on?

"Bristol Palin is somebody I think most of Middle America and regular people can relate to," judge Carrie Ann Inaba said. "She's a regular girl with normal problems and normal issues. I think a lot of people look at her and see themselves."
A lot of people look at the daughter of a major political figure, who's only famous for getting pregnant as a teenager, and see themselves? Eh, we'll buy it.
"I think the Bristol Palin conspiracy phenomenon," Inaba said. "I feel like she's very relatable to the average person. She's non-pretentious, very relaxed."
Will mediocre dance moves and overwhelming fan support carry her into the finale November 23? Who are YOU rooting for on Dancing With the Stars?

Ali Larter on New Jersey-Based Reality Shows: Terrible!

Ali Larter won't be sending Snooki or Teresa Giudice a Christmas card.
In a recent discussion with E! News, the beautiful actress says she isn't a fan of reality shows that depict her native New Jersey in a negative, stereotypical light.
"I've seen a couple of them and I feel like it's such a terrible depiction of our lovely Garden State," said the former Heroes star, who is due to give birth on Christmas.

Sorry, Snooki and Teresa. But we're on Ali Larter's side because... well,she's anything but a grenade.

Is Larter saying there are no guidos or guidettes in the region?

"There's definitely some guidos in New Jersey, but where I grew up it's like the cranberry bogs, the forests, and the farm... going apple picking and rolling green hills," she said.

Larter concluded her mini rant by labeling Jersey as "beautiful and amazing." Coming from someone who looks like THIS, she is an expert in these areas.

Inside the Explosive Cyrus Family Fight: What Led to Divorce?

Rumors of an affair between Tish Cyrus and Bret Michaels have faded away, as both side immediately shot down this silly talk.
But The National Enquirer has come out with a new basis for Tish's recent divorce from husband Billy Ray, a split that could find the ex-couple battling over close to $100 million.

Billy Ray looked cool and collected at the CMAs this week. But that was apparently not the case last month.

The break-up is allegedly the result of a furious fight between the pair, as the tabloid claims Billy Ray grounded Miley Cyrus for talking back to him.
Tish intervened, reportedly undermined her husband - and the result was a rage-filled Billy Ray trying to knock down his wife's bedroom door out of anger for her actions.
"Billy screamed terrible things at Tish," says an insider. "Tish locked herself in her bedroom to escape Billy Ray's wrath. And he pounded on the door screaming: 'Come out here and talk to me, bitch! You let everyone run wild when I'm not here! It's going to STOP!'"
As always, it's important to point out the questionable source here. But it's also important to remember: The National Enquirer was actually, incredibly nominated for a Pulitzer Prize this year, based on its accurate reporting of the John Edward/Rielle Hunter affair.
Does that mean every story it reports on is valid? Not even close. But it does mean we need to take its accusations a bit more seriously than we did in the past. Are you buying this one?
