Demi, who is happy and healthy for the first time in a long time, is ready to get back on stage when her Unbroken tour takes off November 16, 2011 in Detroit. Her new tune, Skyscraper, is a “song about rising above your problems and …is supposed to inspire people,” Lovato said.

She said sharing her past ordeals is not only therapeutic for her, but it also lets her inspire people in similar situations to get help. “When you go through something like this,” Lovato said, “you really find out who your true friends are and [Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez] were really there for me.”

Friends of LA Animal Shelters is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the helping of animals in LA shelters. The organization raises awareness about our large city shelter system (amazingly unfamiliar even to many animal lovers) and promotes the fantastic dogs, cats and other animals who temporarily call our city shelters home. FLAAS works to break down barriers to adoption which impacts our city’s homeless pets. FLAAS is a volunteer-run organization that funds life-saving surgeries and special projects for orphaned animals. Their goal is to increase adoptions and help the animals in our city shelters. http://friendsoflaanimalshelters.org/

With a passion for animals, Bobby Dorafshar started training dogs in the late 1980’s. In 1990, he opened Advanced K9 Services, a training/boarding business he operated out of his home. It was important to Bobby, his wife, Kelly and their staff that every dog that stayed with them felt like they were at home, whether they were boarding for a few days or staying for three weeks of training. And just as important was that all Advanced K9 Services clients were treated as friends and that they felt comfortable with the personal attention and care that was given to their pets. Advanced K9 Services has become K9s Only and opened a larger, brand-new, state of the art facility to accommodate everyone’s training and boarding needs. Bobby designed and built K9s Only to meet your dog’s every desire. His passion for animals is evident in every detail. In addition to training and boarding, K9 now offers daycare services, grooming and wellness/day spa services. www.k9sonly.com

The Project Runway host recently told OK! Magazine that couples should always keep alive the romance in their relationships.

Heidi and husband Seal have busy lives and rising four children together but Heidi says the key to their happy marriage is that they never let the fire extinguish.

“To try and always keep it that way,” Heidi said of maintaining romantic relationships. “To not let the honeymoon stage ever have an end I guess. Keep it always exciting.”

Klum brought along her first fragrance, Shine, which has just hit stores. Klum said she’s “humbled” to be releasing her own signature scent. She told People mag: “It is such an amazing process to create a fragrance from scratch and help advise which route the ‘nose’ will go,” sharing that she created everything herself from the scent and bottle to the packaging and commercial.

Klum says the ultra feminine fragrance comprised of warm amber, vanilla and lily of the valley is “for a woman that enjoys life and whose radiance glows from the inside.” Klum says, “To me, Shine is about the confidence, joy and the wit of a woman’s personality. A woman like that ‘shines.’”

Look at which supermodel was watching Heidi’s interview? Yep, it’s Tyra Banks!
