Former Disney Star Announces Cookbook After 'Challenging' Food Relationship
Demi Lovato announced that she's releasing a cookbook after years of food and body image struggles.
The former Disney Channel star's debut cookbook, ONE PLATE AT A TIME: Recipes for Finding Freedom with Food, is set to be released on March 31, 2026, by Flatiron Books.
"Demi Lovato's cooking journey started when she was almost thirty. After years of navigating a challenging relationship with food, she found that learning to cook — discovering how to truly nourish herself in mind, body, and spirit — was a revelation," the book's description reads. "It was in the kitchen, experimenting with flavors, connecting with loved ones, and channeling her creativity in a new way — that she truly began to appreciate and celebrate the joy of food."
In the book, Lovato, 32, will welcome "everyone into the kitchen with a collection of more than eighty recipes, all created to emphasize enjoyment over perfection."
The cookbook will include a variety of recipes ranging from "breakfast to dinner, comfort foods to fast food-inspired favorites, soups to salads, and even go-to sweet treats."
"Filled with beautiful food photography as well as snapshots that give fans a peek into Demi's home life, personal anecdotes, pantry tips, and cooking hacks, this is a cookbook for Demi Lovato fans, for people who struggle to enjoy food without guilt, and for anyone looking for a gentler, more grounded approach to cooking," the synopsis concludes. "One Plate at a Time is Demi's set list for a delicious new way of thinking about food and how it fits into our lives."

Lovato announced her latest career venture after years of struggling with an eating disorder.
'I have a treatment team that I work with that helps me stay in recovery, and I've been in recovery from bulimia for five, going on six, years now,' she said while appearing on an October 2024 episode of Penn Badgley's "Podcrushed" podcast. 'I'm trying to learn body acceptance rather than body positivity, because body positivity feels like, 'I can't even reach that yet.' I have a nutritionist and a therapist that specializes in eating disorders.'
She hinted at her love for cooking in the interview, saying that making meals at home feels like 'the biggest 'F--k you'' to her eating disorder. 'The main thing that I'm working on is just body acceptance, and looking in the mirror and being like, 'This body is strong … This body saved my life and fought for my life when I overdosed. This body is a miracle,'" Lovato added.

Post Malone Opens Up About Fatherhood and His 'Hilarious' Young Daughter: 'The Most Beautiful Creature'
Post Malone might be one of the biggest names in music right now—but above all else, he loves being a dad. The superstar—whose real name is Austin Richard Post—has kept a busy schedule as he shoots a campaign for Kim Kardashian's SKIMS brand and performs as part of his Post Malone Presents: The BIG A-- Stadium Tour. However, none of this has stopped him from making time for his three-year-old daughter. Malone, 30, recently gave rare details about life as a dad. In an August interview with GQ, the singer said he takes fatherhood "a day at a time." "I think it's important that way. We're learning every day. I don't know what the h--l I'm doing, and neither does she. She's just figuring it out," he continued. The "I Had Some Help" singer, who now lives in rural Utah, then revealed the "really sweet" activity his daughter enjoys doing in his newly renovated home. "And there's this big hallway where she can ride her bike, and she has this little toy horse, and she rides up and down and just f--king giggles the whole f--king time," he told the outlet. "It is the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced in my life. I'm pretty pumped on that. It's pretty cool. It's bada-- to be a dad." The 18-time Grammy Award-nominee then opened up about his young daughter's sense of humor. Referring to his friend and fellow megastar Jelly Roll, Malone said to GQ, "Jelly was opening up [on tour] and she went out to watch Jelly and her grandparents asked her, 'Who's a better singer, Jelly Roll or your dad?' She goes, 'Jelly Roll.' And I know she's f--king with me. "She does that all the time. She goes, 'I love you.' I say, 'How much?' She goes, 'A little.' I go, 'Oh, you little s--t.' And then she calls me a little s--t, too. It's pretty funny." The "Sunflower" singer then called his daughter, "f--king hilarious." He continued, "It's unstoppable. She's just the most beautiful creature to ever have existed on this earth. And I can't believe that... Well, I don't deserve something like that, but it's pretty cool that's in my life." Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Malone made it clear that he prioritizes family. "I think that's all you really need is just family, at the end of the day… You know I've been on the road for ten years, and I've been doing this pretty vigorously. After ten years, it's time to just take it easy," he told GQ. "And this is where you want to be. You want to be here with a little three-year-old little squirt and just push her into the water and then she calls you a little s--t," he continued. Malone welcomed his daughter—whom he shares with ex-fiancée and South Korean singer Hee Sung "Jamie" Park—in May 2022.

Stephen A. Smith & Samantha Are A Perfect Daddy-Daughter Duo
Unique Nicole Things weren't looking too bright earlier this year for seasoned sports analyst Stephen A. Smith. A looming beef with superstar athlete LeBron James, public backlash for his critique of Serena Williams joining Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show and even basketball fans grilling him for playing solitaire on his phone during the NBA Finals were just some of the instances that had Smith looking more like The Grinch. Then something unexpected happened at the top of summer: we met his teenage daughter, Samantha Smith. What started as a simple guest appearance during ESPN's coverage of Game 6 in the NBA Finals back in June quickly became a viral moment for Samantha, with many sports fans requesting to see her on a regular basis. The moment benefited Stephen as well, showing a softer, more humane side of his personality compared to the hothead many see on a weekly basis as host of First Take . Bringing their dynamic daddy-daughter duo act to ESPN Radio recently via The Stephen A. Smith Show , Sam worked her magic once again by bringing the laughs with fivehead jokes aplenty, and even got Poppa Smith to blush on his own like a truly proud dad. RELATED: Stephen A. Smith Wants Omari Hardwick or Michael B. Jordan To Play Him In A Biopic We care about your data. See our privacy policy. While it would be amazing to get The Stephen & Samantha Show in a foreseeable future, the teen queen actually is building a name for herself as a budding actress. She got her start back in 2022 in The Best Man: The Final Chapt ers, a series revival of the hit film franchise by Malcolm D. Lee, and followed up in 2023 by guest starring in the short-lived Disney+ series, Saturdays . This year, she made her debut on film with the Tubi original Wrong Place, Wrong Time co-starring former Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood alum Apryl Jones. The trailer sees Samantha getting in on the action, proving we've only began to see what she's truly capable of. We're sure Hollywood has much more to offer Sam in her budding acting career, but for the sake of sports fans we sure do hope The Smiths get the ball rolling in order to strike gold on a highly-requested podcast idea.
