Bad time to take a Twitter break. Or maybe that’s the reason for the online respite?

A day after Demi Lovato temporarily peaced out of the social media site, telling followers that she gets herself into too much trouble by tweeting, speculation began that the reason for her break may be down to rumors that the teen superstar hit a fork in her road to recovery.

Reports quickly gained traction that Lovato had checked herself back into rehab, this time at a Malibu treatment center to deal with substance abuse issues. So much for staying anonymous.

But is it true? Is Demi really back in rehab? Don’t go breaking out the 12-step book just yet, because this rumor is…

SO FALSE!!!

The totally unfounded rumor, first floated by Blind Gossip earlier this month, didn’t start making the rounds until this week, probably because Lovato wasn’t around online to shut them down.

And true to her word, Demi didn’t condescend to break her self-imposed Twitter ban, and instead left the denial duties to those around her.

“All the treatment rumors are utterly false,” her rep told E! News.

Last night, her Sonny With a Chance costar Tiffany Thornton also defended her pal’s honor, tweeting out, “I will tell you FOR SURE that they are wrong.”

On second thought, if these are the types of rumors making the rounds online, Demi couldn’t have picked a better time to stay away.

Demi Lovato has begun the New Year focusing on her philanthropy.

The “Skyscraper” star’s latest Public Service Announcement (PSA) focuses on the homelessness issue among teens in the United States.

“All teens go through hard times,” Lovato says at the beginning of the commercial. “But, did you know that 2 million teens have nowhere to go at night?”

Lovato, who was nominated as one of the most involved celebrities of 2011 on DoSomething.org’s website, urges teens to get involved with the organization’s “Teen for Jeans” campaign.

“I’m donating my jeans,” Lovato continues, filled with enthusiasm. “Clean up your closet and donate yours too.”

This isn’t the first time Lovato speaks to youth.

Recently the former Disney starlet took time out of her busy schedule to be an inspirational speaker at the same facility where, just a year ago, she checked herself in for self-mutilation issues as well as eating and bipolar disorders.

“Today I went back to the treatment center I went to last year to speak to the beautiful women fighting their inner demons,” Lovato posted on her Twitter account, “to be able to share my story and let them know that it gets easier. Life is beautiful…. You are worthy of it.”

The former “Sonny With a Chance” actress called it quits on an international tour with the Jonas Brothers to take time for herself and deal with her “emotional and physical issues,” according to a statement from her representative.

Lovato claimed that rehab was “probably the darkest time in my life,” and has thanked her fans on multiple occasions via Twitter for their support throughout her gloomy situation.

“Many tears were shed and many memories were brought back at Timberline Knolls today,” Lovato said in another tweet. “Please say a prayer for all of those struggling with eating disorders, self harm, mood disorders, and substance abuse.”

Favorite Pop Artist Demi Lovato Performs At People’s Choice Awards
Singer gave a spirited performance of “Give Your Heart a Break” before accepting her award.

Demi Lovato certainly proved she was Unbroken when she took the stage at the 2012 People’s Choice Awards on Wednesday night (January 11). The former Disney princess dazzled the room with a spirited rendition of her song “Give Your Heart a Break.”

In a bright red dress (with matching red hair), she took the stage and belted out her Unbroken track. Instead of going flashy and over the top, the singer let the song rule the performance and kept it simple, taking the stage with just her band.

After her performance, she accepted the award for Favorite Pop Artist and had many kind words for the fans who helped her beat out the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Beyoncé.

“Thank you guys so much” she said. “This award is amazing. The nominees that I was up against are people that I look up to and aspire to be one day, and I won this award because of my fans. So I dedicate this to you guys. I love you guys so much. Without you guys tweeting so many times, I wouldn’t be up here tonight. So thank you guys so much. You guys are so amazing.”

“Give Your Heart A Break” is the singer’s second single off her album, which dropped last fall. “I think it’s grown-up, but it’s not too grown-up,” Lovato told MTV News in September. “It’s not tasteless. It’s growing up with my fans. It’s [like] I’m not a kid anymore, but I’m also not a full-grown woman either. So I’m in that in-between stage, trying to figure out where that is. So I’m figuring it out, just like my fans are.”

Selena Gomez wrote a heartfelt note to her BFF Demi Lovato that was read out loud at Demi’s ‘Seventeen’ magazine cover luncheon in Hollywood Jan. 4

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato have been best friends since they were seven years old and auditioning for Barney in Texas. Now, nearly a decade later, the girls have been through their ups and downs, but remain close. In fact, Selena even wrote a revealing note dedicated to her friend, which was read to everyone at Demi’s luncheon celebration for her February Seventeen magazine cover.

Here is what the 19-year-old former Disney starlet said:

Demi, first I want to say that I am sorry that I cant be here with you today, but I just want to say first how proud I am of you. Knowing you since we were seven and watching you become the person you are is truly amazing.

I was there when you sang in front of 10 people knowing all of the words to your songs and I was there when you sang in front of 14,000 people, still knowing all of your songs. You have something that you know has been hard for me to have at times. You have courage — courage to want to change to be better for yourself.

The amount of respect that I have for you is indescribable. You have gone through one of the hardest chapters in your life and I praise you for wanting to share that journey and walk away from it all as a better person. Thank you for trusting me and wanting me there during that hard time. I hope you know how much I love you and how proud I am of the role model that you have become.

Last year, Demi was admitted into rehab for emotional and physical issues and has said Selena was one of the only people who stood by her side, supporting her. Are you surprised Selena admitted Demi is more courageous than she is? Do you think they’ll be friends forever after going through this?
