When Demi Lovato returned to Twitter on Tuesday after a 24-hour hiatus, she promised to be “more honest than ever.” Well, she’s delivering on that promise.
Demi Lovato Returns to Twitter & Instagram After 24-Hour Exit
Over a half-dozen tweets on Thursday afternoon (June 23), Lovato questioned society’s obsession with celebrity over all other issues, including climate change and the FBI’s Most Wanted list.
“The world is weird,” she wrote. “I bet our country knows more about celebrities than they know about what’s happening over seas or global warming.”

She also tackled tabloid culture and polled her followers to see if they knew more about criminals or Justin Bieber’s love life.
We complain about how unfair paparazzi and tabloid rumors are but still buy the magazines to find out who’s fucking who and who wore it best

Finally, she questioned whether the media is the cause of a celebrity obsession among teens or if the teens themselves are to blame. “Is it our fault though?”
Is it our fault though? Has society fed into it or is this just easy business with everyone from blogs to magazines trying to cash in?

Who’s fault is it that teens can name more celebrity feuds than wars?

Lovato took a break from Twitter and Instagram on Monday after Mariah Carey’s fans came at her with a vengeance when she defended pal Ariana Grande over an Instagram meme pitting the two divas against each other. By Tuesday afternoon, she was back on both social-media platforms.
