Demi Lovato has released a new song in which she seems to admit to relapsing after years of sobriety.
The singer has been candid about her struggles with addiction and eating disorders, admitting in a 2017 documentary that she regularly smuggled drugs on planes and did interviews while high.
She celebrated six years of sobriety in March, however in her new single Sober, she sings: “Momma, I’m so sorry, I’m not sober any more/ And daddy, please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor.”

Her fans have rallied to support her, many of whom have struggled with addiction themselves:

recovery is a daily battle. sobriety is a daily battle. relapse does happen. we are only human. no human can fight and fight and fight everyday to the fullest – everyone has got those days/weeks were we feel weak. but its important to get up and continuing to fight. #sober

Sending our love to Demi.
Eva Longoria has posted the first picture of her newborn son – and used it to make a very important point about the separation of families at the US/Mexico border.

Poor Eva seemed to have been pregnant for the longest time, but finally she gave birth to Santiago Enrique Bastón on Tuesday. She said the birth made her realise the true cruelty of the US border policy:
In light of my son’s birth, I wanted to bring focus on the families that have been separated at the border. Having my son next to me, I cannot imagine him being taken from my arms. Families belong together which is why we must do what we can to reunite them.
She also included a link to donate to the legal fund for the families affected by the separation. What a gal. Congrats, Eva and fam!
We are taking this particular bit of spon con out of its corner because in fairness, it’s pretty good spon con.
Chrissy Teigen is very generously promoting her husband John Legend’s new rosé, but if you thought she’d do it for free cos they’re married… well:
My husband, John, asked me to post this because I have a much bigger social following than him. He said just something short and to the point. I said, “OK John!” then had my agents follow up with a comprehensive pricing list. Did he want me to keep this up just for today? A week? Forever? Did he want me to take a photo *with* the product, or simply the product alone? These are important questions in an Instagram deal and marriage.
She did later get on to the subject of the rosé itself, which she describes as ‘delightful’ and suitable to drink with everything from fish to cereal to hot dogs. She’s sold it to us TBH.
And now it’s time for… #TBT
The best celebrity throwback photos of the week.
We’ve got two this week! First, Naomi Watts posted a super cute picture of her old pal Nicole Kidman in honour of her birthday. Who among us does not have one of these photos hanging around in an album somewhere?
And here’s the Rock with his dad, the original Rock. You can see where he got it from, can’t you? Adorbs.
