Meet Demi Lovato: Star of the Jonas Brothers Movie Camp Rock

If you've never heard of Demi Lovato, get ready to hear her name... a lot. By the end of summer 2008, Demi Lovato will be a household name. And why, you ask? Well, let's just say that the Jonas Brothers and Disney Channel might have a little bit to do with it.

But first, let's start with this question. Who is Demi Lovato? Demi Lovato was born Demetria Devonne Lovato. She is a 15 year old actress whose first role was on the show, Barney, along with her best friend, Selena Gomez of Wizards of Waverly Place.

After Barney, Demi Lovato went on to nab guest roles on Prison Break and Just Jordan. Last year she starred on the Disney Channel Original Short Series, As The Bell Rings.

So what does Demi Lovato have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Well, Demi Lovato's big break came when she was cast as the lead in the new Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock, which also stars the Jonas Brothers.

Demi plays the role of Mitchie, the young girl who aspires to be a pop singer and works in the kitchen at the same camp where the Jonas Brothers happen to be at. Camp Rock is already rumored to be the next High School Musical for the Disney Channel.

Not only is Demi Lovato starring in Camp Rock, which is currently in post-production, with the Jonas Brothers, but the Jonas Brothers are taking Demi along with them on The Burning Up Tour. Demi will actually get to perform on stage with the Jonas Brothers! Talk about being in a position that most girls would kill to be in.

The Jonas Brothers are also helping with the songs that Demi Lovato will be recording for her debut album. You can listen to some of Demi Lovato's music on her official MySpace page located here.

Demi Lovato is currently in Puerto Rico with Selena Gomez where the two are filming the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie, Princess Protection Program. Demi plays the role of Princess Rosie who is sent away to live with a normal family in Louisiana and meets Selena Gomez's character.

Will Demi Lovato be the next Vanessa Hudgens? If she plays her cards right, she certainly could be. We'll have to wait and see. Let's just hope that if she is the next Vanessa Hudgens that she manages to avoid any kind of naked photo scandal.
