Life is beautiful... You are worthy of it," she tweeted in December about a visit to the center where she received treatment.Did whip-its send Demi Moore to the hospital?-Moore recently dropped out of the film Lovelace, in which she was to portray feminist Gloria Steinem. In April 2011, Lovato left the Disney TV series Sonny With a Chance to focus on her music career and getting healthy.All clear now?
