Demi Lovato looked more confident than ever at Tuesday's HTC Status Social launch event in Hollywood.
"I'm more relaxed this time around," the BCBG Max Azria-clad Disney star told Us Weekly. "I'm not as stressed and freaking out, like 'Do I look okay here?' I'm like, whatever. What you see is what you get and I'm having fun."

Even still, the 18-year-old admitted that it was "kind of nerve racking" to be back on the red carpet. (Her last official appearance was a press conference for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam in October 2010.)

Lovato famously checked into an Illinois rehab facility in November to deal with "emotional and physical issues." Since being released in January, the "Skyscraper" singer has been open about her "life-long" eating disorder and other emotional problems.

"I get all these tweets that are like, 'Because you shared your story I got help,' or 'I quit cutting,' or 'I got help for my eating disorder,' and that's why I'm in this. That's why I shared my story," Lovato told Us. "At the end of the day, if I can help someone and inspire someone, then I'm good."

4There's no substitute for self worth, however, she is a very beautiful girl and I have always thought she was talented. I hope to see her go far.
Looking real good girl.
I remember back in Oct 2010, everyone was talking about Camp Rock 2. Those were simplier times my friends
Coming clean about the hardships that come along with fame and spotlight is very admirable. You are a real person with real personal issues and the fact that others are reaching out to you telling you that they've gotten help as well is fantastic. Stay true to yourself always.
