Selena Gomez set for 'Wizards of Waverly Place' TV movie

Selena Gomez is reprising her role in 'Wizards of Waverly Place' for a TV movie, less than a year after the hit U.S. show ended.

The actress/singer shot her final scenes for the popular children's series last year and almost 10 million viewers tuned in when the last episode aired in the U.S. in January.

Gomez subsequently admitted wrapping the show after four years was "one of the hardest things" she's ever experienced - but now she's set to reunite with her co-stars.

The new project, which Gomez will also executive produce, will begin production next month in Los Angeles and will be shown on the Disney Channel in early 2013, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide, says, "With the phenomenal ratings of the Wizards finale earlier this year, it became clear that fans of the series were not ready to say goodbye to Selena or the rest of the 'Wizards' cast. As such, we're thrilled that the cast has agreed to reunite to bring their fans one last grand adventure."

Demi Lovato Says Her Obsession with Her Weight Started At Age Three

Pop star Demi Lovato says that her struggles with her weight first started during her childhood when she was just three years old.

The "Skyscraper" crooner suffered from both anorexia and bulimia during her teen years and also spent some time under professional monitoring at a rehabilitation clinic in 2010. She has now revealed that her obsession with the shape and size of her body began when she was still a baby.

On Monday's episode of Katie Couric's show "Katie," Lovato opened up about her inner battles and said: "I remember being three years old in a diaper and rubbing my hand over my stomach, like I remember thinking in my head, 'I wonder if one day this will ever be flat?' It just continued. I've always had self-confidence issues… and it also didn't help that I had kids in school at such a young age that were really, really naturally very thin, so I always felt like the bigger one of the group."

But her eating disorders had never turned into full-blown emotional meltdowns until two years ago. She says that the pressure that comes with being a celebrity acted as an aggravating factor in her case.

"I believe that I was born with it, and that it was just gonna be there. It runs in my family and it's just there. And I think that when you go through things that are traumatic… it can bring out the nasty behaviors that rise to the surface when you don't know how to stay in control or feel your emotions," Lovato added.

In the same show, Couric had revealed her own bouts with bulimia. Talking to eating disorders specialist Dr. Cynthia Bulik, the veteran hostess said: "I wrestled with bulimia all through college and for two years after that. And I know this rigidity, this feeling that if you eat one thing that's wrong, you're full of self-loathing and then you punish yourself, whether it's one cookie or a stick of gum that isn't sugarless, that I would sometimes beat myself up for that."

 

Demi Lovato talks about her eating disorders and performs on 'Katie'

"The X Factor" U.S. judge Demi Lovato, 20, has talked about her personal problems (including having bulimia and anorexia) in several interviews, but when she appeared on Katie Couric's nationally syndicated talk show "Katie" in an episode with an eating-disorder theme, it prompted Couric to confess that she too had bulimia when she was in her late teens to her mid-20s. The prerecorded episode was televised on September 24, 2012.

Lovato has also been very open about being bipolar and having problems with substance abuse and self-mutilation. She has been in rehab for all of these issues.

In her "Katie" interview, Lovato tsaid her earliest memory of having self-confidence issues about her body was when she was "3 years old, in a diaper, and rubbing my hand over my stomach ... I remember thinking in my head, 'I wonder if one day this will ever be flat.' And it just continued. I always had self-confidence issues in my body and self-image problems. It also didn't help that I had kids at school, at such a young age, that were really, really naturally thin. So I always felt like I was the bigger one of the group."

Lovato said that she would alternate between behaviors of bulimia (bingeing an purging) and anorexia (self-starvation). She confessed that there was one week when she ate only two meals. She said her bulimia started when "I was around 8 years old ... I believe I was born with it. It was just going to be there. It runs in my family. It's just there. I think when you go through things that are traumatic that happen to you when you're little or at any time in your life, it can bring out the nasty behaviors that rise to the surface when you don't know how to stay in control or feel your emotions."

She added that being bullied at school also damaged her self-esteem: "People don't realize how badly verbal harassment and that cyber bullying affects you. It played more of a toll on me than if I was physically abused at school. I kind of always said, 'I wish they had hit me in the face and gotten it over with,' because what they said to me sticks to me to this day. It affected me into the person that I am today. They called me 'fat' and they called me horrible things."

Lovato eventually asked to be home schooled because she couldn't take the bullying anymore. And although Lovato says she had eating disorders long before she became famous, she believes that being a famous entertainer "amplified" her insecurities about her body because she was negatively affected by what the media said about her physical appearance.

In 2010, Lovato made headlines for hitting her female backup dancer Alex Welch. It was an incident that prompted Lovato to check into rehab that year. The incident was briefly mentioned in the "Katie" interview. Lovato commented on the incident: "I felt horrible. I wasn't in control of my emotions at the time. I was out of control. There's no excuse for it. It definitely showed everyone I needed to get help. I think two days later, I was checking into rehab."

In rehab, Lovato says, she was not allowed to eat by herself or go to the bathroom by herself. She says she was also forced to eat everything on her plate. "Oftentimes, I would cry, because I physically couldn't stomach it. If that happened, I would have little consequences [as punishment in rehab] -- nothing horrible, just not being able to go to the cafeteria to eat."

Changing the way she thought about controlling her weight was the key to her recovery from the eating disorders, Lovato said. "The only way to accept yourself is to say, 'God, I'm giving it to you,' or whatever you feel gives you that power. It's just surrendering and saying, 'I can't do this to my body anymore. I'm going to let my body be what it naturally is supposed to be.'"

Couric pointed out Lovato's recovery manager, Mike Bayer, who was in the audience. Bayer commented that it's very difficult for anyone to overcome an eating disorder unless "the whole family is willing to participate in their daughter's or son's [recovery from having an] eating disorder."

Lovato said her family has been very involved and supportive of her recovery.

At the end of the episode, Lovato was shown performing her hit "Give Your Heart a Break." She performed the song live.

Demi Lovato back to her party-girl ways?

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

20-year-old X-Factor judge, Demi Lovato, has been in Vegas for the iHeartRadio festival, and has been pictured hanging out with her friend old notorious party-girl friend, Hanna Beth.

Demi Lovato has been very open about her personal struggles in the personal eye, from bulimia, to punching a back-up dancer in a face, and underage partying that landed her a ninety day stay at treatment center Timberline Knolls in Chicago.

After emerging from treatment in early 2011, Demi spoke openly about her ups and downs and struggles with recovery, which is an on-going process.

Demi and Hanna Beth connected in 2011 over their struggles with sobriety, but it was clear from the start that Hanna Beth wasn't the good influence she pretend to be.

Frequently tweeting about illegal activities like "taking e pills" (ecstasy), Hanna Beth has shown time and time again that she doesn't take her sobriety seriously. Demi and Hanna Beth even got matching lip tattoos during a drugged-out Independence Day weekend last summer.

Perhaps the "Give Your Heart a Break" singer had clean, sober fun this weekend. We all hope that this talented young girl is doing well in her sobriety. But shouldn't Demi know by know that these social-climbing former "scene queens" shouldn't be trusted?

As Demi was proud of proclaiming on twitter for some time, "You are who your friends are". Stay strong, Demi!

Demi Lovato Is Ambassador for New Anti-Bullying Campaign

Demi Lovato has a secret to share: Growing up wasn't always easy for her. 

"I had a really tough time when I was in middle school," the X Factor judge, 20, tells PEOPLE. "People would write 'hate petitions' [about me] and send them around to be signed. They'd have CD-bashing parties of my demos. They'd come to my house, stand across the street and yell things. It was a very emotional time for me, and all I wanted to do was get away." 

It was so bad, in fact, that Lovato believes it's part of what led her to seek treatment for issues like an eating disorder and cutting nearly two years ago. 

"Back then, there were times I didn't think I'd be able to move on," she admits. 

Fortunately, Lovato has made it to the "other side," and is now drawing on those painful experiences as the new ambassador for Secret's "Mean Stinks" campaign, encouraging girls to "gang up for good" to end bullying in schools. 

"I heard about the program last year, and thought it was such a great opportunity," Lovato says. "They're really trying to put an end to bullying." 

Thursday morning, the star surprised students at New York City's Young Women's Leadership School to talk to them about the program, which asks girls to pledge to have a "Drama Free School Year" by making a pinky swear, symbolized by wearing blue nail polish on their pinky fingers. 

"I'll definitely be wearing [the nail polish] starting soon," Lovato says. "It's a conversation starter: 'Hey, why is your pinky blue?' 'This is a pinky promise that I'm not going to bully people, that me and my friends are ganging up for good.' " 

To help, Secret will donate $1 (up to $150,000) from the purchase of every Mean Stinks Clinical Strength deodorant to the cause. Learn more about the program on Secret's Facebook page.
