Demi Lovato Praises Miley Cyrus For Being Sober: “I Am Really Proud”

Demi Lovato will be the first to tell you getting sober is tricky.

The 24 year-old pop princess just celebrated five years of sobriety after struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

Now, sister pop star and long time frenemy Miley Cyrus has given up booze and weed, and Lovato is singing her praises, saying, “I am really proud of Miley.”

Cyrus recently told Billboard Magazine on her sobriety,

This is crazy, but I haven’t smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I’ve ever gone without it. I like to surround myself with people that make me want to get better, more evolved, open. And I was noticing, it’s not the people that are stoned. I want to be super clean and sharp, because I know exactly where I want to be.

The change in Cyrus is obvious, as her music has taken a turn from the wild to the sincere. Her latest hit, “Malibu,” is jumping up the charts, and has other celeb fans like Katy Perry praising Miley for her new sound.

Cyrus also performed “Malibu” Sunday night at the Billboard Music Awards, looking gorgeous and full of calm energy.

Cyrus told SiriusXM getting sober was fairly easy and a lot of people have offered her support she feels she doesn’t need.

A lot of people have reached out to me and they’re like, ‘You know, if you want help or if you want to go to these meetings,’ and I’m like, ‘No.’ When I want something I can do it. Anything that I want to do, if I want to stop or start something, I can do anything. I just decided not to smoke any more, and now it’s easy for me.

On Cyrus’ sobriety, Lovato told The Hollywood reporter,

I am really proud of Miley. I think that it helps people to know that there are people in the spotlight that have challenges, that are faced with very stressful lives. I think it helps to know that recovery is possible and it’s something that is so important to certain people like myself.

Lovato added, “Addiction doesn’t discriminate, so whenever you are able to take control back, it’s really admirable.”

We wish both women continued success, health, happiness, and more, more, more music!

Former NFL player Darren Sharper sentenced to 18 years in drugging and rape case

The former NFL player Darren Sharper has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in a case in which he was accused of drugging and raping as many as 16 women in four states. Judge Jane Triche Milazzo sentenced Sharper on Thursday. He had pleaded guilty or no-contest in federal court in New Orleans, and state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada to charges arising from the allegations of drugging and raping women. Prosecutors suggested a nine-year prison term for Sharper under a multi-jurisdictional plea deal, but Milazzo rejected it as too lenient in June. The sentence was 15 months short of the maximum. He was also fined $20,000. Sharper pleaded guilty in federal court to three counts of distributing drugs with rape as the aim. He or his friend Brandon Licciardi, a former sheriff’s deputy in neighboring St Bernard Parish, put anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives into women’s drinks so they could rape them, according to a 15-page statement signed as part of ...

Jill Stein on 11 key issues: Where does Green Party presidential candidate stand?

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein presents herself as a viable alternative this year to the two major-party candidates, who have the lowest approval ratings of any presidential nominees in the past seven decades. Stein, 66, of Lexington, Mass., is making her second bid for president on the Green Party ballot line. The Harvard-educated doctor received almost 500,000 votes for president in 2012, which she boasts is still the record for most votes received by a woman candidate for president in the general election. Stein says she became involved in politics more than a decade ago because she didn't like the country's direction, and had become alarmed about children becoming ill from environmental pollution and unhealthy foods they are provided. She and running mate Ajamu Baraka support a "Green New Deal" under which the government would end dependence on fossil fuels, fight climate change and create millions of new green-energy jobs.

Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started 'Deus Ex: Mankind Divided'

Photo: Eidos Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is finally out today, an early embargo revealing pretty solid reviews, including my own 8/10 good-not-great score. I love the series, but I just wanted the sequel to evolve a little more than it did. With that said, what it does carry over from Human Revolution is welcome, and I enjoyed my time with the game overall. As always, when I get to play a game this early, I try to impart wisdom I’ve learned for those who are just starting out.
