Demi Lovato: My Role Models Are Eva Longoria, Angelina Jolie

Demi Lovato — whose road to recovery has made her an inspiration and role model herself — reveals who she looks up to in Hollywood and why!

Demi Lovato has been idolized for speaking out about her depression and bulimia issues since checking into a treatment center last year. So who has inspired the starlet to become such a positive influence on her fans?

“There are people like Rosario Dawson and Eva Longoria and, not only are they just some of the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet, but they’re actually doing things, charitable things,” the 18-year-old singer said while chatting with fans on the Mack at Nite radio show, “But also Angelina Jolie, too, so I look up to people like that that use their voice and their talents for the greater.”

It’s clear that Demi has been taking taking cues from her Hollywood role models. She has worked on a number of campaigns to bring awareness to environmental, bullying and education issues. Most recently, Demi has focused on calling attention to issues similar to those that landed the singer in rehab in November, 2010. She plans to speak out about her issues as part of a campaign called, “Love is Louder Than The Pressure to be Perfect,” focused on teen girls.

We love that there are still some healthy role models in Hollywood for young celebs, like Demi, to look up to!
