Mindy Kaling and Britney Spears Shine at Fox Upfronts

And so our upfront crusade moves on to its second network citadel, Fox, situated in the formidable stronghold of American Idol.
Formidable, but showing signs of viewer erosion as it wraps up its eleventh season. This wasn't really addressed at Monday afternoon's presentation in Manhattan: The reality competition that really needed the shoring up was Simon Cowell's The X Factor, which in its first season wasn't quite the world-flattening behemoth everyone was predicting.
But the Fox upfront gave the show a tremendous promotional boost for season 2, as both Britney Spears and Demi Lovato were officially brought out as new judges, joining jolly old Mr. Cowell and L.A. Reid. Excitement compounds excitement!

Demi Lovato Says Club Promoters Gave Her Drugs, Booze

Recovering from an eating disorder is a long process, and if anyone can speak to that, it's Demi Lovato.
Almost a year-and-a-half after completing treatment for "emotional and physical issues," the former Disney starlet, 19, says she's too insecure about her physique – she's now a size 10-12 – to book new projects.
"I need to be secure in my body before I go back in front of the camera," Lovato tells British mag Fabulous.
"Anyone in recovery from an eating disorder would find that triggering, and I'm not ready … Knowing I have bad angles and the photographer can take a bad shot makes me insecure."

Have Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama split?
Although the kissy couple never confirmed their relationship in the first place, Lovato, 19, went from Tweeting her excitement about People's Choice Awards rehearsals to posting about staying independent from the opposite sex.
"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left," the former Disney starlet, quoting Marilyn Monroe, re-Tweeted one of her followers early Tuesday morning.
Just minutes after the Tweet that appeared to come out of nowhere, Lovato then posted, "The smartest thing a woman can ever learn, is to never need a man."
