Patrick Lovato Dead Bestyrelse
Demi Lovato is revealing more about her complicated relationship with her father, Patrick Lovato, who died of cancer in 2013. The 23-year-old pop star admits she didn't have a good relationship with her late dad in a new video interview on her YouTube channel, whom she calls 'abusive.' Still, Demi wrote a song about Patrick on her new album, 'I was very conflicted when he passed, because he was abusive,' Demi says in the emotional black and white clip. 'He was mean, but he wanted to be a good person. And he wanted to have his family, and when my mom married my stepdad, he still had this huge heart where he said, 'I'm so glad that he's taking care of you and doing the job that I wish I could do.' ' Demi says her father's mental illness made him incapable of raising a family. After his death, she actually created the Lovato Treatment Scholarship Program in his honor, which helps to pay for treatment expenses for individuals struggling with mental health and/or addiction issues.
'To know that it wasn't fully his fault really was saddening to me,' Demi says. 'I wanted to write about it. I wanted to process it.' The power ballad is clearly emotional, with Demi singing, 'You did your best or did you?/Sometimes I think I hate you/I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this.'
'I know you were a troubled man,' she also sings. 'I know you never got the chance/To be yourself, to be your best/I hope that heaven's given you/A second chance.' The 'Cool for the Summer' singer has been open about her own mental health and addiction struggles in the past, entering rehab in 2010. 'There was a time when I was jealous of people who were able to party,' Demi in August.
'For instance, Miley - in her music video 'Can't Stop,' her whole thing was partying and not giving a f.k. Part of me was super jealous that I couldn't be like that. I had to look at my life and be like, 'Okay, that's just not what you can do.
There's no need to be bitter about it.' ' These days, Demi is more confident than ever with the release of her new album, which debuted last Friday. Earlier this month, she even in emotionally raw photos for Vanity Fair. When ET caught up with the former Disney star at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards in late August, Demi stressed that she's 'The album is called Confident,' she explained, 'and I wanted something that was going to best represent the album title, where I'm at today and the music. I've never been more confident in my life and it was the perfect album title.'
The Independent There was talk of her having made concessions to them but the truth is that Spain couldn’t actually veto the withdrawal agreement, which was signed off unanimously yesterday by the European Council – and it doesn’t enjoy the support on Gibraltar which the Republic of Ireland enjoys on the vexed issue of the Irish border. The House of Commons is another matter: we do have a legal veto on the withdrawal agreement. In it she declared that the “political declaration delivers on the referendum by taking back control of our money, borders and laws while protecting jobs, security and the integrity of the United Kingdom”. The Guardian Emmanuel Macron has called for post-Brexit UK to allow EU vessels the same access to British waters as they have now.
Downing Street has hit back at a threat by the French president to trigger the customs “backstop” if the UK does not swiftly agree to allow European Union boats to fish in British waters. The prime minister’s official spokesman said such a threat, if carried out, would amount to a “breach of good faith” under the withdrawal agreement and the UK would immediately refer the situation to independent arbitration.
Business Insider UK European Union judges dismissed on Monday as inadmissible a lawsuit brought by British citizens living in the EU against the EU's decision to start talks with London on the country's withdrawal from the bloc. Thirteen British citizens residing in EU countries asked the General Court in Luxembourg to annul the decision of EU governments authorizing the opening of negotiations on Brexit. 'The General Court. Dismisses the action as inadmissible since the decision of the Council authorizing the opening of negotiations on Brexit does not produce binding legal effects capable of affecting the interests of the applicants by bringing about a distinct change in their legal position,' the court said in a statement. Sky News British academic Matthew Hedges has been released from prison despite the United Arab Emirates claiming he was a member of MI6 and was spying on military systems. Mr Hedges' whereabouts is not yet known but a UAE official confirmed his release following a news conference announcing that he had been pardoned earlier on Monday.
At the news conference, an official showed a video - seen by Sky News - purporting to show Mr Hedges confessing to the charges against him, in which he said he was a member of MI6. Evening Standard Police have searched two adjoining villas in northwestern Turkey as part of an investigation into the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to local media. The remains of the journalist, a former Washington Post writer who disappeared in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last month, are yet to be discovered. Now authorities have turned their attention to the residence in the Samanli village, near the town of Termal in Yalova province, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency. Reuters European Union judges dismissed a case brought by a World War Two veteran and other Britons living on the continent against the Brexit negotiation, ruling on Monday that their rights as EU citizens had not yet been infringed. Harry Shindler, a 97-year-old living in Italy, was among 13 expatriates who complained to the EU's General Court that Brexit would deprive them of EU citizenship, and that the decision last year by the bloc's Council of member states to accept notification of Britain's withdrawal next March breached their rights because they had been denied a vote in the 2016 referendum.

'The decision of the Council authorising the opening of negotiations on Brexit does not produce binding legal effects capable of affecting the interests of the applicants by bringing about a distinct change in their legal position,' it said. The Independent There's a strong case to be made that the Game of Thrones season 8 finale will be the biggest moment in scripted television history. Messily so, because the days of a nation gathering around their television sets to find out at the very same moment who shot JR in Dallas are over, and both the viewing of and discussion around TV has atomised with the advent of streaming and social media. Production on the eighth and final season wrapped last month, and tidbits – albeit very guarded and probably HBO-approved ones – about the show's climax have been slowly extracted from the cast (and a couple of crew members) when they haven't been busy filming. The Independent When the teams for the 2018 Copa Libertadores final were finally confirmed - amid huge controversy, of course - unpopular Argentine president Mauricio Macri said that this super Superclasico was an opportunity to show the country’s face to the world only for no one to show up on the pitch at all.
This may the country that cares about football far too much, and that goes way beyond love to something much more obsessive and obviously damaging. Argentina this weekend had the opportunity to put on a great exhibition for the world - to show the best of their game - but emotion got the better of it all, as every worst stereotype and expectation was instead played out in full global glare.
Patrick Lovato, the father of singer and X Factor judge, Demi Lovato, has died. There is no word on the cause of death, but reportedly, he had been battling cancer in the past few years. The news broke when Demi’s older sister, Dallas, tweeted, “Rest in peace daddy I love you.” Lovato and Demi’s mother, Dianna, divorced in 1994. The singer had been estranged from her father since 2007. Since then, he has discussed his daughter’s life and the pressures of being a child star in the press, which has angered Demi’s mom and Disney’s lawyers.
The rest of the X Factor judges were in New York City yesterday for a photo shoot. Host, Mario Lopez tweeted out. Demi’s fellow X Factor team sent out condolences: Condolences to Demi and her family.
