The 26-year-old singer has had a turbulent year to say the least, but Demi Lovato has shown how truly grateful she is to be alive.

Many celebrities were posting their highlights from the past year, and their 2019 resolutions, but Lovato chose the moment to declare how happy she is to have survived her ordeal.

It was only five months ago that the Skyscraper singer almost died from an accidental overdose at her home in the Hollywood Hills.

Posting to her Instagram story, Demi wrote:

"So grateful for the lessons I've learned this year. I will never take another day in life for granted, even the bad ones," she said.

"Thankful for my fans, friends, family and everyone who supported me throughout this year. God bless."

The post comes following the singer's two month stint in rehab earlier in the year, where she received treatment for substance abuse addiction.

Lovato issued a since-deleted statement in August regarding her on-going battle with addiction;

"I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction," she claimed.

"What I've learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet."

2019 looks set to be a positive one for the artist, with her rumoured new relationship with designer Henry Levy, and a Grammy nomination for her collaboration with Christina Aguilera on the track Fall In Line. 

Her family have been open about Demi's progress with her sobriety, with her sister, Madison De La Garza, writing a birthday note on Instagram:

"Today could have been one of the worst days of my life, but instead I get to spend it thanking God, the incredible doctors, Demi's team, and everyone across the world who offered their support — without all of these people i wouldn't have my big sister anymore."

We're so glad that her recovery appears to be well on the way, and that she is surrounded by a healthy support system.

A photograph taken of our Lord and Saviour Queen Bey and arguably the world's current most popular singer-songwriter has sparked a MAJOR debate online about gender and an artists' 'brand'.

Why? Well, mainly because Ed was dressed like he was popping down to the local Spar to grab a one litre carton of milk, while Beyoncé was dressed, I mean, like BEYONCÉ. Fierce, fiesty and fabulous.

A few Twitter users have claimed that this displays an attitude towards gender norms, showing the expectations which women have on their shoulders to look stunning 24 hours a day, while men can wear whatever they damn well please.

The two global superstars performed together in Johannesburg, South Africa last weekend to celebrate the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100. 

The duo paid homage to the late Nelson Mandela, who Beyoncé claims has hugely impacted on her parenting principles with her three children; Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir.

Of course, the pair simply had to perform the gift of their huge worldwide hit, Perfect, which the crowd essentially sang louder than them. Yet their choice of clothing has grabbed nearly the entirety of the focus.

Beyoncé has always worn the most EXTRA outfits in the business because it's part of her essence, her brand and her overall look.

She is a massive lover of fashion, even designing her own lines, while Sheeran has always been open about stripping back everything so that only his musical talent is on display. 

Singer-songwriters always perform with the hope that their stories within the songs are what is focused on, whereas Beyoncé is a performer.

She uses choreography, graphics, lighting, backing vocals, political statements, her own music AND fashion to make her statements.

Lest we forget, her iconic Coachella performance was famed for the fashion choice as well as it's artistic mastery. Her On the Run tour outfits have changed the GAME of musical attire, her Formation hats especially grabbing the attention.

They exacerbate her talent, but we all know that if we strip Queen Bey of her dress choice, her choreography and her light show and graphic background, she would still deliver an incredible performance.

Yet numerous Twitter users argue that male artists can stand on their talent alone, whereas women must always have a more-than-presentable appearance, they must always have something else for their audience.

Ed Sheeran could wear a pin-striped suit if he so desired, but this would not run parallel with the branding behind his music. His image is the fact that he has no image; it's all about his own chill, laid-back vibe.

He has gained notoriety especially in the States for his appearance, or seeming lack of effort, yet this normal attitude towards fame is what allowed him to stand out in the first place.

He wasn't trying to get attention, he simply became a phenomenon for his musical gift alone. He was relatable, a man of simple taste with a great voice and immense penchant for songwriting. Artists should be able to decide their own looks and style, without their labels, the media or even their fans interfering.

Other humorous online statements are simply trying to dispel all the tension…

Do their outfits say more than we think?

Plenty of female singer-songwriters wear less elaborate, glamorous clothing, such as our new best friend Sigrid, who noticeably wears zero make-up onstage and sports only a plain white t-shirt and jeans.

Perhaps it would be best if we simply allowed artists, not to mention the general society at large, to wear whatever they please without having to worry about the incessant judgement of fans and random Twitter users.

Just a thought?

Anyone who remembers the long lost days of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's tumultuous relationship will recall that they were literally WORSHIPPED as King and Queen of Pop.

Their break-up shook the entire world, especially following allegations of Britney cheating on Justin with her choreographer.

The drama was intense, but JT had another bomb to drop on us: the unbelievable break-up tune that is Cry Me A River.

Let's be honest, it gives everyone chills. The boy was HELLA angry, and it comes across in the song. He even put a Britney lookalike in the music video, which caused absolute mayhem as fans dissected the meaning behind every word.

In the video, JT breaks into the Brit look-alike’s house, has some raunchy fun with a hot brunette and films the whole thing.

He waits for her to get home, then when the pop princess emerges from the shower his sex video is playing on her TV screen.  So yeah, he was a tad bitter.

In his new book, Hindsight: & All the Things I Can't See in Front of Me, the singer, actor and former *NSYNC band member (never forget) wrote:

"I've been scorned. I've been pissed off. I wrote Cry Me a River in two hours. I didn't plan on writing it."

"The feelings I had were so strong that I had to write it, and I translated my feelings into a form where people could listen and, hopefully, relate to it," Timberlake continued. "People heard me and they understood it because we've all been there."

The song clearly held a lot of meaning for Timberlake, and he only needed a cool two hours to pen the track, which would become one of the biggest hits of the decade.

Some of the spicy lyrics include: "You don't have to say, what you did, I already know, I found out from him". Britney has long been considered the subject of the song, and it is heavily suggested that she was unfaithful during their relationship.

The song was released in November 2002, only months after their split, and earned him a Grammy for Best Pop Performance. THE DRAH-MAH. 

Timberlake was furious after seeing Spears speak about him at one of her concerts:

"I was on a phone call that was not the most enjoyable phone call," Timberlake recalls on the show. "I walked into the studio and Timbaland (the producer) could tell I was visibly angry."

He certainly channelled his anger, that's for sure. Britney eventually responded the next year with her heartbreaking ballad Everytime.

The noughties romance drama was so real, but never fear, both singers have moved on and are happily in love with their respective partners.

Brit is dating hunky personal trainer Sam Asghari for almost two years and JT is married to Jessica Biel since 2012.

So it seems like it worked out?

We'll be honest, if you had told us two years ago that Niall Horan would end up being the most successful member of One Direction we probably would have laughed at the idea – but oh how wrong we were.

With two top 10 singles and a critically acclaimed album under his belt, the Mullingar native has made quite the name for himself as a solo artist.

And while the 24-year-old is enjoying a successful career in the music industry, he admits a little recognition wouldn't go amiss.

During a recent interview on New York City radio station Fresh 102.7's Karen & Jeffrey, Niall jokingly said he would “rip someone's arm off” for a Grammy Award.

“Just to be nominated would be amazing. I've spent so many years watching it. It comes with all the prestige that everyone thinks it does. That would be amazing; a far cry but we'll see what happens.”

The singer, whose debut solo album, Flicker, dropped last Friday recently sold out a night at Dublin's 3Arena, however, a second date was added due to phenomenal demand. Tickets are available here.

We’ve probably all left something behind in a hotel or hostel at some stage; usually it’s a phone charger, or a much-loved bra, or still half-full bottle of fake-tan.

The worst is weddings – somehow you never manage to make it home with everything you arrived with.

Do you ring and enquire about getting it back? Or simply take the loss on the chin – vowing to be more cautious next time?

Well, it seems if you’re Nicki Minaj you fall into the latter category… even if the item in question is worth a cool €10,000.

Yes, the rapper and singer was in New York City over the weekend for her brother’s wedding, which was held at the Coral House in Long Island.

The 32-year-old evidently brought along a few outfit options too; an unworn, full-length Emilio Pucci gown was left in the wardrobe in the bridal suite, where the star had been getting ready.

The tags, which are still attached, confirm that the garment is worth the eye-watering five-figure sum. As well as boasting beautifully crafted beading and sequin, the silk number has intrinsic detailing on the hem, waist, and sleeves. 

Now Butch Yamali, the owner of the Coral House, is trying to get the dress back to her – but, given its value, he's cautious of handing it over too readily.

Indeed, he says someone has already called asking for the dress, but Mr Yamali was suspicious that the individual in question wasn't legitimately from Nicki's camp… so he declined to part with it.

Meaning as yet, the €10K dress remains unclaimed. The exact same dress was previously seen on a pregnant Ciara at the Grammys last year – so perhaps Nicki feels getting it back just isn't worth the hassle.

Could we maybe have it instead?
