 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.”

Demi Lovato’s Gift to Family: a New House
By Sharon Cotliar
Friday August 20, 2010 02:15 PM EDT
They say it’s better to give than receive – and Demi Lovato was living that maxim this year. The teen star gave her family a gift on her 18th birthday.
“I just bought a house,” Lovato tells PEOPLE of a Mediterranean style home she purchased outside of L.A. “For me to give [that] to my family on my birthday, that was the best present.”
Lovato also plans to live on the property, in a house in the backyard. “It’s got pretty much everything you could possibly imagine in it,” she says. “It’s the most beautiful, homey-feeling house. I love it.”
And, as a bonus, “the pool has a water slide, which is really cool,” she says.
Celebrating her birthday with younger sister Madison de la Garza (of Desperate Housewives) and her Camp Rock 2 costars Joe and Nick Jonas, who were in town to promote the Disney Channel movie which premieres Sept. 3, Lovato and her pals dined at New York’s Buddakan – and finished off the evening with a cake.

The movie was enough of a treat, but the lucky Jonas Brothers fans who attended the Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam premiere in New York Wednesday got a whole lot more than that.
Following the screening at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato emerged for a surprise performance of the romantic duet “Wouldn’t Change a Thing,” from the movie’s soundtrack, with Joe’s brothers Kevin and Nick playing backup.
The impromptu concert was a hit, judging by the number of girls in the audience shrieking at the top of their lungs.
Earlier in the event, on the red carpet, Lovato talked about how it’s been working with Joe Jonas since their breakup in May. “We’ve obviously had our ups and downs, but no matter what, we’ll be best friends for a long time,” she told PEOPLE.
Lovato, who turns 18 on Friday, also expressed her gratitude to Joe, 21, for recently threatening legal action against a blogger who posted a story with alleged falsehoods about their relationship.
“All three of them will defend me, because they’re my brothers, they have my back,” Lovato said. “And I’ll defend them any day, too.”
Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam will premiere on the Disney Chanel on Sept. 3 at 8 p.m. ET and air the following three nights at the same time.

Demi Lovato’s Album Wish List Includes Drake And Trey Songz
‘It would be hot!’ singer says of teaming up with the hip-hop and R&B heavyweights.
By Jocelyn Vena (@jocelyn1212)
Demi Lovato is looking to try her hand at R&B on her next album. While she has cited Rihanna as an influence for the album’s vibe, she has two of R&B and hip hop’s most recognizable voices in mind as dream collaborators for the album, which she is currently hard at work on while hitting the road with the Jonas Brothers.
“I would love for Drake to be on the album,” she said. “It’s kind of like a pipe dream. I would also like to do a song with Trey Songz. It would be hot! Yeah, it would be really good.”
While Drake and Trey aren’t onboard (yet, anyway), fans can expect Demi to turn her sound upside down on the upcoming LP. “I’ve been working with a few producers,” she told MTV News. “I don’t know if I can talk about it, but I’m excited to start working with more people.”
Lovato, who has always displayed her big voice on her songs and the “Camp Rock” soundtracks, is ready to show the world just what that sounds like on these new songs.
“I’m working on new music, writing new songs, trying to approach a different route, doing a new sound,” Lovato said. “I’m really excited. It’ll be fun. It’s more R&B/pop. I’m trying to bring out my inner ‘soul’; a new side of Demi,” she laughed. “I’m straying away from the rock this time.”
