UPDATE: According to Demi's rep, she is now "awake and responsive."

Demi Lovato was apparently hospitalized on Tuesday in Los Angeles after a suspected heroin overdose, according to TMZ.

TMZ reports Lovato was transported from her Hollywood Hills home shortly before noon today to a local hospital.

Paramedics reportedly found Lovato unconscious upon arrival at her home.

The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer’s condition is not currently known.

The 25-year-old actress and pop star has struggled with alcohol, cocaine and Oxycontin abuse for years.

In June, she released her song, “Sober,” as she shared that she had relapsed shortly after celebrating six years of sobriety.

Lovato was scheduled to perform at an upcoming date in Atlantic City. No announcement on whether she’ll make that date.

The singer is one of the biggest names on social media, with a combined following of over 145 million.

Demi Lovato Upstaged By Go-Go Dancer

So, here's how I got the story:

Demi Lovato made an appearance at The Monster, a gay bar in the West Village, to promote her new single. But just as she starts to sing she says she needs someone to dance with while she sings.

And that's when Ms. Lovato got upstaged by a go-go dancer who proved that "monster" wasn't just the name of the club.

It's actually quite funny to watch since it's difficult to pay attention to Demi. NSFW.

2014 Pride Queen - Demi Lovato

Popster Demi Lovato will be making major gay pride appearances on both sides of the country this summer.

The “Heart Attack” singer will serve as a Grand Marshal at the 2014 L.A. Pride parade on June 8 (and sing later that night), plus will perform at the Dance on the Pier at NYC Pride on June 29.

“It’s such an honor to be a part of both LA and NYC Pride celebrations this year,” says Lovato. “I have been an active advocate of the LGBT community and am wholly committed to supporting individuality and being comfortable in one’s own skin. I am thrilled to be a part of both events as they are a wonderful celebration of independence and self-confidence.”

Past performers at the Pier Dance have included Cher, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson.

I know the name, but will fully admit I couldn't hum one of her songs to save my life.
