By James Dinh Demi Lovato Photo: Gary Miller/ FilmMagic When Demi Lovato checked herself into a treatment center for “emotional and physical issues” in October, the Disney starlet was forced to check out early from her joint “Camp Rock” tour with the Jonas Brothers . But the teen star is determined to hit the road once again to promote a new album in 2011, according to The Associated Press . In an article about concert promoters’ plans to make ticket prices more affordable in 2011, the AP revealed that Lovato’s camp have confirmed that the pop star’s plans for a solo 2011 tour to promote a new album are still on track. When speaking about the high ticket prices, the 18-year-old starlet said, “I have best friends that aren’t in the industry and are dealing with just buying groceries and things like that, so I want to do my part.” Back in November, a rep for Lovato explained that the singer/actress was disappointed that she couldn’t wrap up the Jonas Brothers tour, saying, “[Demi] regrets not being able to finish her tour, but is looking forward to getting back to work in the near future.” While Lovato pulled out from that tour with six scheduled days left, the star was not replaced for the remaining set of shows in South America. Things seem to be looking up for the teen sensation. Over the weekend, Lovato was spotted spending time with her family at a restaurant near her treatment facility in Woodridge, Illinois. In addition to her family bonding, the Disney actress has reportedly come to a settlement regarding the altercation between her and dancer Alex Welch, whom she allegedly punched.

Katy Perry Producer Likes Teenage Dream’s Grammy Chances

‘Being nominated is great, but winning is even better,’ Tricky Stewart tells MTV News of Album of the Year nod. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Matt Elias Tricky Stewart Photo: MTV News Despite debuting at #1 on the Billboard albums chart and spawning three massive hit singles, some in the industry were surprised earlier this month when Katy Perry ‘s Teenage Dream grabbed a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year . Tricky Stewart was not one of them. “You know, I did four songs on that record, so I’m really proud of it,” he told MTV News. “And not just because it’s [nominated in] the Album of the Year category, but because Dr. Luke did an amazing job on the singles and Stargate did an amazing job on the singles … but all of us together, we put that album together, and I think it’s pretty flawless.” And while, at this point, Grammy noms are nothing new to the super-producer — this marks the second-consecutive year he’s in the running for Album of the Year (Beyonc

Inguna Butane for Vogue Mexico of the Day

I’ve never heard of Inguna Butane, but since I’m into fashion photography for softcore pornography cuz real pornography bores me cuz the bitches are half retarded, barely attractive and the sex is always the same….sure I guess the fact that are willing to get fucked dirty on camera is alright…but I know people and the ones willing to do that for money are never top tier pussy…..but for some reason fashion pays better and for some reason just showing some tit, nipple or pussy in that context seems okay to these bitches….because it means advancing their career, or being in some magazine they always wished to get into…and that for some reason really works for me. It’s like they get naked cuz they don’t want to go against the photographer or the vision of the shoot, like they know they are getting paid to be there and do what they are told, like a hooker, without all the baggage, cuz really they are just under 30 year old hot girls who think they are contributing to their industry. I haven’t cracked the code behind this fashion model scam, but I know I like what’s going on. So here’s Inguna, a 24 year old who has walked the Victoria’s Secret show 3 times already, showing some tit for Vogue Mexico. Mexico hasn’t delivered anything this good, other than the day I was born. Right?

T-Modulome From Nottoscale Demonstrates The Evolution of Modern Prefab

Back in about 2004, in the early days of the modern prefab craze, I first learned of Peter Strzebniok and his Nottoscale prefabs . At the time his designs were based on ” a steel framework which allows individual building elements to be interchanged.” It seemed complicated , and I don’t think any of them got built. But now Peter is back with his T-Modulome , and it has been built, with a much simpler structure, and a bigger plan, providing a good demonstration of how the industry has e… Read the full story on TreeHugger

‘Jersey Shore’ Star Ronnie Recalls Losing His Virginity At 17

On Saturday’s ‘When I Was 17,’ everybody’s favorite juicehead remembers his first time. By Mawuse Ziegbe Ronnie Photo: MTV News We’ve seen “Jersey Shore” juicehead Ronnie get into a lot types of scrapes on the boardwalk, but as it turns out, he has always had a penchant for, ahem, outdoor activities. On an all-“Jersey Shore” episode of “When I Was 17,” which also features stories from Ron Ron’s girl Sammi and Staten Island native Vinny, Ronnie remembers the first time he had sex. “When I was 17 I lost my virginity,” Ronnie admits. Ronnie’s friend T.J. adds that the event happened in someone else’s ride, and that that person wasn’t aware of it — until now. “Ronnie lost his virginity in the back seat of my grandmother’s Camry,” T.J. reveals. “The worst part about that is that she still drives it, so I’m probably gonna catch crap for this.” “When you’re young, the place to have sex is in the car,” Ronnie rationalizes. The Bronx native explains the spur-of-the-moment nature of how everything went down. “It just happened randomly,” he says. “[I was] hanging out on the corner with my friend and some girl walks up to him and she’s like, ‘Your friend’s hot. I wanna hook up.’ We went to go find a nice quiet spot … literally down the block.” Although for Ronnie, where the hook-up happened didn’t really matter that much. “I’m about to get laid for the first time. I’m like, I’ll do it on the hood of the car right now, I don’t care,” he says. Even though it was his debut run knockin’ boots, Ron had an audience checking out the moment. “My friends were watching from the car behind me. They were like watching through the window and stuff like that,” he recalls. “We were looking, he had the windows down,” T.J. admits. “It was a pretty wild scene.” Ronnie also discusses his technique for making love in such a tight space. “I just pretty much did the head tuck. You tuck your head in between her head and her shoulders and you just like 1, 2, 3, 4. Like three pumps … and you’re done,” he says. “It’s awesome.” “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Ronnie, Vinny and Sammi — premieres Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Lauryn Hill Set To Perform String Of East Coast Concerts

The reclusive singer will hit the stage for stops in Boston, New York and Miami beginning December 20. By Rebecca Thomas Lauryn Hill Photo: Taylor Hill/Getty Images Lauryn Hill is inching closer to a comeback. At this summer’s Rock the Bells, the reclusive raptress emerged for four tour stops, giving front-to-back performances of her classic debut, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, almost a dozen years to the day after its release. Now, L-Boogie is set to meet her hungry public again with a grip of shows along the East Coast. According to Brooklyn Vegan , Hill will hit Boston, New York, and Miami for a string of shows beginning December 20. She’ll make stops at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg at the end of the month, and the Bowery Ballroom in New York City on New Year’s Day. The “Ex-Factor” singer will then resume the jaunt in the spring with a pair of performances in the Magic City as part of Miami’s Jazz in the Gardens Festival. Tickets for the first trio of shows went on sale on Friday (December 10); no additional dates have been announced. At this summer’s Rock the Bells, Hill chuckled when we asked her about a due date for fresh material, but told MTV News, “We’re getting closer. That’s all I can say.” The ex-Fugees frontwoman, who became something of a voice for a generation of pre-millennium girls drawn to her cerebral brand of rap&B, shunned the limelight not long after the jaw-dropping success of her debut. But in August, she remarked that the industry had changed in recent years, adding that she was feeling sparked by how eclectic music in the age of MP3s was sounding. “You got a lot of young talent out there,” Hill observed. “Because we don’t necessarily have the same sort of industry complex that used to exist, people don’t always give, I want to say, proper respect to. But they’re doing it in a really kind of unusual, unique and hard-core way.” Lauryn Hill tour dates, according to Brooklyn Vegan:
