Exclusive: Demi Lovato Talks Miley Duet, Joe Jonas Split and Feeling ‘More Adult’
Two summers ago, the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock turned then 16-year-old Demi Lovato into a breakout star and ‘tweens the world over fell in love with her character, Mitchie Torres, an everygirl with rock star talent and a pretty cool duet partner (that would be a mulleted Joe Jonas.)
Two years, two pop-rock albums and another Disney movie later, Demi and the JoBros return for the sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, premiering September 3. In an exclusive interview with Celebuzz, Demi, who recently blew out her 18th birthday candles, said both she and Mitchie have grown up.
“She has more confidence now,” Demi told Celebuzz of her character. “In the first movie she was really insecure and she didn’t really know who she was. Now she’s more driven.”
You could say the same about Demi, who is starring in her very own Disney Channel series, Sonny With a Chance, working on an R&B-influenced third studio album, moving her family into a new house (!) and touring with the Jonases, including Joe, 21, who is now her ex-boyfriend. How does she manage to remain friends with him?
“Well, you have to, ‘cause you work with him,” Demi told us. “When you’re hurt, it’s easy to move on, so it was very easy for me to move on.”
Her advice for fans attempting to get along with their exes is pretty simple. “Suck it up,” she said with a laugh.
And so she’s doing just that, even revealing that she has a crush on a well-known R&B star.
“I’m kind of digging Trey Songz – he’s pretty hot,” she divulged. Though she tells Celebuzz there’s nothing romantic happening with the 25-year-old singer-actor, she said, “We followed each other on Twitter and direct message each other…he’s pretty awesome.”
Trey’s soulful vibe could be an indication of what fans will hear on Demi’s new album, which she hopes to release early next year. Expect what she calls a “new sound,” a blend of hip-hop and dance tracks, and even – brace yourselves — possible duets with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.

 Demi Lovato Pays Tribute To Frankie Jonas’ ‘Swag’: The MTV News Quote Of The Day
Posted 8/30/10 3:30 pm ET by MTV News in Music
“He’s the biggest rock star of all of them. He’s got swag like Justin Bieber and he rocks out like Mick Jagger, so he’s kind of a combination of the two. He’s kind of like the ultimate rock star. Watch out, Justin Timberlake!”
-Singer, actress and “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” star Demi Lovato, discussing co-star Frankie Jonas, the youngest of the four Jonas Brothers and the one often referred to as “Bonus Jonas.” Lovato compared Frankie to both Bieber and Timberlake on the red carpet of the “Camp Rock 2″ premiere in New York, and she had plenty of praise for the youngest Jonas sibling.
The nine-year-old Frankie may be young, and “Camp Rock 2″ represents his first major live action film (he provided voice work in “Ponyo” a few years back), but his goals are clear. “I would like to pursue my acting career and do a little music in the middle,” he told MTV News. “It’s my first live action [film] and to have my brothers with me is way more exciting because they make you feel more comfortable.”
And he’s even a little wise beyond his years. When asked about what advice his already-veteran older brothers gave him, he could recite the best bit he was given. “They’ve given me a great one that my dad gave to them and they passed on to me during the filming of ‘Camp Rock.’ It says, ‘Live like you’re at the bottom, even if you’re at the top,’ ” he explained. “Remember where you came from.”
You can catch Frankie, Joe, Kevin and Nick (as well as Lovato) when “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” premieres on the Disney Channel this Friday, September 3.

Special to the Star-Telegram
For Demi Lovato, every day of the past two years has been like living a “Cinderella story.”
It wasn’t so long ago that the singer and actress from Dallas dreamed of getting that elusive big break.
Then came Camp Rock, the Disney Channel musical that was cable TV’s top-rated original movie of 2008.
It was life-changing for Lovato. It introduced her in a big, big way to a “tween” audience that adores her and supports every career move.
“It’s crazy, and I’m so thankful for it,” says Lovato, who turned 18 last month. “It surpassed and exceeded my expectations. I had no idea it would be so popular.”
Now she’s back at the summer music camp that made it all happen. Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, in which she plays wannabe music star Mitchie Torres, premieres at 7 p.m. Friday on the Disney Channel.
Fellow North Texas teen idols Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas also have returned, meaning Lovato has no reason to be surprised this time. Camp Rock 2 has ratings-hit inevitability written all over it.
For Lovato, Camp Rock was a launch pad to a hit TV series, Disney Channel’s Sonny With a Chance, and a couple of chart-topping albums. But it’s inaccurate to think of her as an overnight success.
She has been a show-business professional for more than a decade, dating back to her days as one of the Barney & Friends kids alongside longtime friend and fellow Disney Channel star Selena Gomez.
What Camp Rock did was give Lovato the forum to showcase talent that had long been present.
There’s a lot of Demi in Mitchie and a lot of Mitchie in Demi, Lovato says, so the role was the ideal vehicle for her to prove herself.
“I was an aspiring singer and actress when I got cast as Mitchie,” she said in an e-mail interview with the Star-Telegram. “She and I were in the same place.”
The parallel between actress and character was most evident when Lovato sang the prophetic lyrics “Now I’ve found who I am/There’s no way to hold it in/No more hiding who I wanna be” in the song This Is Me.
“I felt like I was coming into myself, just like my character was,” Lovato recalls.
It’s also inaccurate to characterize her fan base as being exclusively teens and preteens. She says that she is often surprised to encounter older fans who don’t fit the profile. “It makes me feel good to know my music is reaching out to different ages and audiences,” she says.
The new movie creates a rival and a new challenge for Mitchie and her Camp Rock friends.
Across the lake is another summer music camp, Camp Star, which is run by a scheming record executive who holds a grudge against guitar legend and Camp Rock founder Brown Cesario. Camp Star’s boss wants to drive Camp Rock out of business.
The competition escalates to the point that the two camps perform head-to-head on national TV, with the future of Camp Rock hanging in the balance.
Camp Star embodies an approach, Lovato says, that many people see as a problem in the music business: too much emphasis on sizzle, not enough on substance. “But real music lasts forever,” she says.
As for her own musical tastes, they’re quite eclectic. If one were to go through Lovato’s CD collection or hit shuffle on her iPod, there’s no telling what musical artists might turn up.
“The ones that represent my music best are Kelly Clarkson and John Mayer,” she says. “But you might be surprised by (rapper) Biggie and (metal band) Job for a Cowboy. What I’m listening to at the moment is Lady Antebellum and Rascal Flatts.”
The career that she has today, Lovato says, is everything that she dreamed it would be and more. “Sometimes I forget that it’s work,” she says.
Alas, it will never be entirely perfect. “I always miss Texas,” says Lovato, who lives in Los Angeles. “I miss things like going to Cowboys games and eating at Texas Roadhouse.”
