Demi Lovato Is Thoroughly Unfazed By Hackers Stealing Her Private Photos

What’s wrong with being confident? Absolutely nothing when you’re Demi Lovato and you have better things to worry about than a hacking scandal.

The “Body Say” singer is the latest victim of the recent hackings of intimate celebrity photos, joining stars like Emma Watson and Amanda Seyfried in a club of famous women that absolutely no one asked to be in.

A photo of Lovato allegedly wearing an unzipped hoodie in bed has made the internet rounds this week. But if you think this is the scandal to bring Demi down, you clearly haven’t been paying attention. While other celebrities are attempting to secure justice using legal channels, the former Disney star is taking inspiration from her hit “Frozen” song and letting it go.

On Tuesday, the 24-year-old clapped back at hackers who thought a stolen racy photo of herself would faze her in the slightest with a series of tweets reminding everyone that she’s very comfortable in her own skin.

“I love how everyone’s freaking out about one picture. It’s not nude and it’s just cleavage ... Besides the world has seen me nude BY CHOICE before,” she tweeted, adding a string of our new favorite hashtags #vanityfair, #nicetry #cleavagegameonpoint, #myboobsarenteventhatbig and #angles.”

Lovato is referring to her 2015 Vanity Fair spread, in which she decided to forego all clothes and makeup for a stripped-down and stunning set of photos.

Speaking with the magazine, Lovato, who’s been open about her battle with eating disorders, said she wanted to show a “side of me that’s real, that’s liberated, that’s free.”

According to Gossip Cop, a second and reportedly more revealing photo of the star is also floating around somewhere, but from what we’ve gleaned from Demi so far, it’s pretty clear where she stands on the issue.

Ivanka Trump, Cory Booker had 'private conversation' days after inauguration

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker revealed on Sunday that he met privately with first daughter Ivanka Trump days after her father's inauguration.

"I had a private conversation with her once at the Alfalfa dinner," the senator said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I saw her and had a very brief conversation." The nature of the pair's conversation wasn't revealed during the CNN interview.

Booker not only attended Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's wedding in 2009 -- the Trump daughter also held a fundraiser for the senator in 2013.

Booker said he sees a lack of communication as a major issue ailing the United States at the moment.

"I think there's a problem in this country right now that we are having problems talking to each other," said Booker.

"There millions and millions of good Democrats, millions and millions of good Republicans who are Americans 99 percent of us are good people... I don't care what party you are, recognize this: We are at a time of increased fear in our country."

"And I don't care who you are, if you consider yourself a leader, you have an obligation to stand up and do something about it and lead with love and not appealing to people's darker angels or exploiting that fear."

Victorian contestants could win I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Australia 2017

THE final of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is tonight, with two Victorians Dane Swan and Natalie Bassingthwaighte  in the final three.

They have stiff opposition against Sydney singer Casey Donovan, who has impressed all season with her honesty and warm personality

Channel 10 would be very happy with the cast this year, other then Tom Arnold, who is threatening to sue over alleged unpaid fees.

There were some great moments, probably the best storyline was the unlikely friendship between 3AW’s Steve Price and comedian Nazeem Hussain.

Hosts Julie Morris and Dr Chris Brown also have the gig down pat now.

All eyes now turns to 2018, when the show is sure to be back.

We have a look at the final three with a form guide

DANE SWAN

THE former Collingwood footballer has been able to show another side of himself to Australia, which has only been positive.

His friends have always said he has a great, dry, sense of humour, and we have all seen that the past six weeks. As well as being laid back, Swan has shown himself to be open minded and tolerant in the jungle, which has been really nice to see.

He has been very popular with the other camp mates, and with the Collingwood army behind him, he has a good chance of winning tonight.

What will Swan do next? First thing first, he has a comedy show at upcoming Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

CASEY DONOVAN

I SAW Casey Donovan in a bar a few years back in Melbourne perform and incredible gig, there would have been 25 people in the crowd.

She was incredible back then, and it was a real shame it was such a small crowd it should have been 2500 people.

Donovan is an honest performer, she has a vulnerable side which she isn’t afraid to show on stage, and what a voice. It is no fluke that she won Australian Idol back in 2004.

She has been quietly working away the past decade, and hopefully her time on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is a springboard to greater success. She has shown herself to be warm, funny, and genuine on the show. What you see is what you get.

NATALIE BASSINGTHWAIGHTE

OUT of anyone who signed up for I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, it was Bassingthwaighte who had the most to lose.

She has a very established career, and initially you had to think why would she sign up?

But it has done Bassingthwaighte no harm at all. You can just tell by watching her that the experience has meant so much to her personally, a real accomplishment spending six weeks away from her children and husband.

Bassingthwaighte comes across as a very generous and down to earth mother figure.

It’s been a real success for the Melbourne based all around entertainer.

You can see her getting a TV hosting gig out of the show in the future.

SNL's 'Complicit' Ivanka Trump ad gets the internet talking


Saturday Night Live, or SNL, has taken aim at different members of the Trump administration including showing White House strategist Steve Bannon as the Grim Reaper and having press secretary Sean Spicer played by a gum-chewing Melissa McCarthy.
In the most recent episode, the show decided to take a dig at President Trump's daughter Ivanka in a spoof of a high-end perfume ad for a product called "Complicit."
Played by actress Scarlett Johansson, she appears as a glamorous woman attending a fancy party with champagne; the female narrator says in a voiceover, "... A woman like her deserves a fragrance all her own, a scent made just for her because she's beautiful, she's powerful, she's ... complicit."
Later in the now-viral commercial, the narrator asks, "A feminist, an advocate, a champion for women...But, like, how?"
It ends with the voiceover line, "Complicit: the fragrance for the woman who could stop all this but won't."
According to the Huffington Post, "'SNL' has mocked Ivanka Trump in the past, but this is the first time the sketch show is casting a more critical spotlight on the first daughter. This time, it's attacking her feminist advocacy without reservation."
