Demi Lovato fired her sober coach before her alleged overdose, plus more news

Demi Lovato fired her sober coach before suspected overdose

Long before she was rushed to the hospital for treatment following a suspected drug overdose on Tuesday, July 24, Demi Lovato had fired her sober coach. That's according to Us Weekly, which cites multiple sources who confirmed the singer had axed her would-be guide for clean living after their relationship went south. According to one insider, "She would only maintain sobriety for a few days at a time before relapsing. She refused to go back to treatment." Us notes that Demi had referenced her former life coach, Mike Bayer, in a handful of resentful social media posts, throwing shade his way. As of earlier this month, they were "no longer in communication," according to Us. The latest reports indicate Demi is awake and with family, having been treated with Narcan to reverse the overdose. The singer has been open about her struggles with drugs and alcohol addiction, bipolar disorder, self-harm and eating disorders in for years, urging an audience in New York City in March to seek help if they were struggling. She also stressed the importance of supporting an open and ongoing conversation about mental health. "The reason why I became so open about my story is because I know that there are people here tonight that need to ask for help and I want them to know that it's OK," she said at the time, which happened to be her sixth anniversary of sobriety. "Mental health is something that we all need to talk about and we need to take the stigma away from it. So let's raise the awareness. Let's let everybody know it's OK to have a mental illness and addiction problem. I'm bipolar, whatever. I take care of myself," she continued. "I can never say thank you enough to you guys for the support that you've given me over the years. And you've forgiven me for my mistakes. So thank you for being a part of saving my life. I love you guys." In June, after releasing her new single, "Sober," which was inspired by a recent relapse, Demi had reportedly recommitted to her sobriety.

Andy Cohen fanboys all over Britney Spears' Radio City stage

It's Britney, b—c! And Andy Cohen couldn't be more excited. The "Watch What Happens Live" host proved he's Britney Spears Superfan No. 1 when he showed up onstage at Brit-Brit's concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Tuesday, July 24. A video clip from the performance, published by the New York Post, shows Andy bowing down effusively on both knees to the singer after she walked him around on a leash while singing "Freakshow." "I think you all know who this is … Give it up for him!" she said, almost laughing. He garbled what looked some some kind of adoring response as she autographed a T-shirt for him. Though we're guessing he went home feeling as blissed out as he appeared to be for those few minutes of the show, Brit was left with a slightly less pleasant reminder of their interaction. "Ow … ears … ," she told the audience once her guest headed back to watch the rest of the concert. "He's loud."
