    Demi Lovato ‘Drug Overdose’: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

    Demi Lovato has been hospitalized after suffering an “apparent” heroin overdose, reports TMZ. The TMZ report says that Lovato was rushed to Los Angeles hospital from her home in the Hollywood Hills at around noon local time. There is no word on her condition. Former TMZ reporter Anthony Dominic tweeted that he has been “told that people close to Demi are saying it’s not heroin.” TMZ later reported that Lovato was being treated with Narcan aka Naloxon Hydrochloride. The drug is commonly used to block the effects of opioids, especially in cases of overdose.

    I'll bet it was fentanyl. She could have even been doing coke that was cut with fentanyl.

    So was this thread title changed without posting a link to the potential change? That’s a new one.

    This brings up an entirely new conversation Mrs. Gator and I had tonight: Knowing the track record of kid stars, would you champion the talent, or apparent talent, of your child, considering the potential consequences? I’m sure it’s easy to say you’d monitor your child, but the demands are, I’m guessing, excruciating. I’m good with my kids growing up in a rather normal environment.

    Haley Joel Osment, of all
    people, was on the LeBatard show recently discussing childhood stardom and was pretty adamant that if parents do two things, it can turn out fine: make sure the kid is never alone with anyone at at any time and make sure the kid always has the option of quitting when it’s no longer fun.

    I’d imagine music stars would encounter a bunch of problems that even actors don’t, however, given the incessant grind of a tour.

    Sad stuff. Hard for pop stars to kick loose of it. Makes Beyonce and Taylor Swift all the more impressive, when you think about it. Neither have been ensnared by addiction, best I know.
