Demi Lovato Wants To Embrace Her ‘Inner Soul’ Diva On Next Album

‘I’m straying away from the rock this time,’ the ‘Camp Rock 2’ star says of new R&B sound. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Audrey Kim Demi Lovato Photo: Jesse Grant/Getty Images Last year, Demi Lovato released her pop/rock sophomore album, Here We Go Again, and now Lovato is, well, at it again. She’s back in the studio, but unlike her first two efforts, this one will sound a little less hardcore, as Demi embraces her inner-R&B diva. “I’m really excited for working on new music in the spare time that I have before I go out on tour with the Jonas Brothers,” she told MTV News on Monday in Los Angeles at the VH1 Do Something Awards . “I’m working on new music, writing new songs, trying to approach a different route, doing a new sound,” Lovato continued. “I’m really excited. It’ll be fun. It’s more R&B/pop. I’m trying to bring out my inner ‘soul’; a new side of Demi,” she laughed. “I’m straying away from the rock this time.” If Lovato’s enthusiasm about working on her next project wasn’t obvious already, her Twitter posts make it clear. A lot of her recent tweets have been updates about working on that new album or just gigging around with friends. “I’m literally in love with music . Everything I do in life is for music. If I could, I would marry music,” she wrote over the weekend. “Gathered around with friends playing music.. I live and breathe for these moments in my life. “Yes!!! Finished writing a song that I’m so proud to call my own!! It’s moments like these that make me never want to stop writing music.. :D,” Lovato tweeted just days before. “Writing a song that I think my South American fans will love…. 😉 this ones for you guys…. Just got the rough cut of the song we did yesterday… soooo excited right now!” Although it’ll be some time before fans actually get to hear these new songs, they can check out Lovato on her Disney Channel series “Sonny With a Chance.” Earlier this year, she teased some of what to expect during the rest of the season. “I think surprises will include guest stars, really awesome guest stars,” she told MTV News. “And also the romance between Sterling Knight’s character and Sonny. There’s definitely a romance factor, but it’s interesting because they play on rival shows and the casts aren’t really fond of each other. So, you see what happens.” Are you excited to hear what Demi sounds like singing R&B? Let us know in the comments! Related Photos Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas Attend The 2010 Do Something Awards

The Situation Recalls His Pre-‘Jersey Shore’ Pranks On ‘When I Was 17’

‘There was mices everywhere,’ he says of releasing mice into his high school lunchroom. By Eric Ditzian Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino Photo: MTV News Anyone who has watched MTV’s “Jersey Shore” knows that Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is a born prankster. In one episode alone, He of the Mighty Abs stashed a slew of pickles under Snooki’s bed — “I figured she’d love the nice aroma of sliced dirty pickles,” he laughed — and mixed up a nasty stink bomb of pickle juice, milk, grated cheese, mayonnaise and salad dressing to hide in his pal Vinny’s room. Turns out that the Situation has been working almost as hard on his tan as he has on his elaborate hoaxes, as the reality star reveals on the upcoming episode of MTV’s “When I Was 17.” “Back when I was 17, I decided to pull a senior prank,” he says on the show, airing Saturday at 11 a.m. “I was going to do it bigger than the seniors the year before, the year before that and even before their grandpappy.” For this prank, Sitch ditched the pickles and embraced some of the animal kingdom’s least desirable creatures. “I decided to organize a couple of my closest buddies that I could trust,” he explained. They cut class and headed off to the local pet store, where they purchased a boxful of mice. Back at school, they bided their time until lunch period. “At noon, it was time for everybody to let their mouses out into the lunchroom,” the Situation said. The mice, predictably, ran every which way through the cafeteria as students jumped up on chairs and teachers scrambled to figure out what was going on. “People were screaming,” he laughed. “There was mices everywhere. It was insane. Mayhem!” “When I Was 17” — this week featuring “Jersey Shore” stars the Situation, JWoww and Pauly D — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
