It's one of these times where we have to talk about something serious, and when a say serious I mean something that is personal to others. Yesterday, TMZ first reported that Pop Singer Demi Lovato was rushed to the hospital to be treated after am apparent overdose of drugs. My first impression about this was that we could be looking at the death of one the the biggest music icons in the world, in fact, I believe that it was going to be Micheal Jackson all over again, but luckily I was wrong, and I've never been so glad to be so wrong. Further reports have said that Demi Lovato will make a full recovery and that now she's "Okay and Stable," but this goes to show that singers and musicians should not to drugs so often and must learn that "life is too short." Demi has openly discussed her issues with drug addiction, and while I don't know much about that, it seems as though she has been going through a rough path lately, and I learned that one time she was singing a song in front of a crowd and forgot the lyrics. I hope that Demi will make a big comeback from this entire issue and will learn a lesson from addiction which is something I think we should all be taught of, but what do celebrities and fans have to say as a sign of support towards Demi, here's a massive #TwitterTrend that does just that.

Poor Demi Lovato. I hope she comes out of this okay. That kid has certainly been through it.

Moving on back to Kids Choice Sports last week, it was a gre4at sight to see some of the best athletes in sports come together with kids and young sports fans who were ready to see a whole lot of slime. We go to see Chris Paul challenge Michael Phelps in a Double Dare Obstacle Course Challenge, Isaiah Thomas and Candace Parker in a Slime Dunk Challenge, Mikaela Shiffrin, Ibtihaj Muhammad, P.K. Subban and P.J. Tucker all competed in a Dance Battle to start the show, and there were even more challenges featuring Shaun White and Chloe Kim. The biggest highlight of Kids Choice Sports was the Gold Slimming of Danica Patrick who took to the stage to discuss what it meant to her for winning the Legend Award, other athletes spoke their minds about how hard they work to make to the top and encourage kids who love sports to do the same. Check out all of these highlights in today's Web Choice playlist of videos from the Nickelodeon YouTube channel.
