Demi Lovato is staying busy and staying honest, judging by a new song snippet that seems to address her substance abuse relapse.
Demi hit her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to offer up video showing her listening to a few seconds of the tune, featuring the lyrics “I know I made it hard for you/ And I owe my part, I’ll tell the truth/ You said that it’d be over/ If I didn’t get sober/ Sober.”
She captioned the video with the hashtag #D7, leading followers to believe an album is on the way.

The Irish Mirror newspaper says Ed Sheeran is planning to get a special tattoo to mark his baby’s birth. A source tells the newspaper,  “Ed comes from a large Catholic family and he wants to have a house full of kids. He has had five intertwined circles put on his back that look a bit like the Olympic rings. He wants to put a tattoo of a palm print into each circle.”

Seems the R. Kelly case has come back to haunt all of us. The Chicago Sun-Times says three men have been arrested for allegedly bribing R. Kelly’s victims to remain quiet. Each suspect is accused of a separate scheme to bribe, intimidate, and harass Kelly’s alleged victims. One of the men reportedly offered $500,000 to a victim to keep her from cooperating with the government. Another suspect is accused of setting an SUV on fire outside of the home where one of the victims was staying. The Blast claims R. Kelly lied about being broke. Court documents show that the singer received $1.2 million in payments last year. Kelly previously accused prosecutors of going on a “harassing fishing expedition” by sending subpoenas to his bank. The prosecution claims Kelly paid bribes to multiple accusers over a 20-year period to lie about his alleged abuse. Bank records show that he allegedly paid $125,000 for the recovery of videotapes that depicted him abusing a minor.
