Singer Demi Lovato awake after suspected overdose: media reports

U.S. pop singer Demi Lovato, who has spoken openly about her history of drug and alcohol abuse, is awake after she was taken to a Los Angeles hospital on Tuesday suffering from a suspected overdose, according to media reports.

Lovato, 25, a Grammy-nominated recording artist, was “okay and stable, reported People magazine, quoting an unidentified source.

“Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers, and support,” Lovato’s representative told entertainment magazine Variety in a statement.

Representatives for Lovato did not respond to a request for comment.

Entertainment news website TMZ, quoting law enforcement sources, reported that Lovato was found unconscious at her home and was treated with Narcan, an emergency antidote for suspected opioid and drug overdoses.

Los Angeles police said they had responded to a medical emergency on Tuesday involving a woman on the Hollywood Hills street where Lovato reportedly has a home but declined to identify the person.

City fire department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said a 25-year-old woman was transported to a local hospital from that location.

Lovato released a song last month called “Sober” in which she sang: “Momma, I’m so sorry, I’m not sober anymore, And daddy, please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor, To the ones who never left me, We’ve been down this road before, I’m so sorry, I’m not sober anymore.”

The New Mexico-born performer rose to fame on Disney Channel shows “Camp Rock” and “Sonny with a Chance” 10 years ago and forged a pop career with hits like “Skyscraper” and “Sorry Not Sorry.”

In a 2017 YouTube documentary, “Simply Complicated,” Lovato spoke about years of substance abuse, eating disorders, and drinking, saying she first started using cocaine when she was 17.

She entered rehab at the age of 18, where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Lovato, who has some 69 million followers on Instagram, was in the midst of a U.S. tour and was due to perform in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Thursday.

Her hospitalization became the top trending item on Twitter on Tuesday, with fans and celebrities expressing concern and support.

Country singer Brad Paisley tweeted: “Addiction is a terrible disease. There is no one more honest or brave than this woman.”

Is Cannes Film Festival Outdated?

In 2015 Cannes Film Festival banned women flat shoes on the red carpet.

Yesterday, in a daring and modern protest Kirsten Stewart took off her Louboutins and walked the red carpet barefoot.

In a time when the most criticized policies are the salary gender gap and when women and men are exposing scandals of bullism, harassment and abuse of power, why the Cannes film Festival still dictates high heels only for women?

In a world where diversity tries to make its own way, why women are still seen as Jessica Rabbit clones?

In a fashion industry where athleisure is the trend, Gucci loafers and Dior kitten heel are the most sold shoes in the world, why the Cannes Film Festival is keeping its positions on such a last century image of the woman?

Why forcing women's image on such a basic, dated and obvious stereotype? Isn't the Hollywood desperate housewife look of stars such as Cate Blanchett coming into conflict with the outside world? And, at the end, who can benefit from this runway of women dressed (or undressed) like Rita Hayworth in the '50s.

Is that the meaning of modern elegance?  Isn't it more interesting the style of Victoria Beckham, Stella Mc Cartney, Gabriela Hearst? Isn't more respectful to let women dress as they prefer?
