Demi Lovato defends saucy magazine shoot
Pop star Demi Lovato has urged retailers not to censor the latest issue of Cosmopolitan which features the singer flaunting her figure in a revealing dress, declaring it "the most beautiful I've ever felt".
The Skyscraper hitmaker has posed for the cover of the latest issue of the title in a sparkling mini-dress which barely covers her breasts, and reports suggest many stores have been asked to cover it up while it is on the shelves.
However, Lovato, who has suffered from eating disorders in the
past, has now fired back and insisted the racy image should be
shown to help empower other women.
In a message posed on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "What these
individuals who are protesting don't understand is that for the
first time in a long time I feel incredibly empowered and the most
beautiful I've ever felt on this magazine (cover).
"It's so liberating to be able to show the world how confident a
woman can be once she learns to love herself. It took soul
searching and a bit of time before I learned to embrace my body
therefore I could not have been more excited to do this shoot. I
think what's more important is showing women there's nothing wrong
with embracing their bodies and sexuality. I am confident in my own
skin and a proud Cosmopolitan cover girl! #unwrapmycosmo."
