Rehab

Demi checked into rehab in 2010, and a few years later she gave an interview revealing the friends who were most supportive while she was healing: "Nick especially — he's always been there for me. And Selena because she called me crying when I was in there and was just so worried," Demi said. "I was like, 'Look, I should be the one crying, it's all good!' But she was so worried and ever since then we've gotten closer."

2011 Kids' Choice Awards

In May 2013, Demi stopped by our offices for She dished on Selena, saying that they don't necessarily have to talk every day to be friends and that she still wants to have her in her life.

"We've been through a lot together, we've had periods of times we here we grew apart and we just didn't really talk," Demi said. "Now we are in a place where I think we realized that life is so short and that when you have people in your life that love you so much then, you should just always be around them. She's going to be a big sister, and I want to be around for that. Everything about her, she has a great soul, she's talented, she's beautiful, and she will always be really, really close to my heart."
