People.com has news you can use this week regarding actress Demi Lovato and Disney’s comedy, Sonny with a Chance.

The teen star – who entered treatment for “physical and emotional issues” last October – will not be returning to her hit Disney Channel series, Sonny with a Chance.

Dramatic stuff, yes? Here’s what the young celeb had to say.

“It made sense for me to go ahead and leave the show to focus on my music,” Lovato, 18, told PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “It’s kind of sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended but there couldn’t be a better time for me to move on.”

That could mean fans will see her on tour this year.

“I don’t think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery,” she continued. She has undergone some three months of treatment. “Being in front of a camera would make me nervous.”

Does that mean major motion pictures are out of the question, too? We heard a rumor she might win a certain silver screen gig.

Disney is showing their support, saying, “We respect Demi’s decision to focus fulltime on her music and not immediately return to her acting career. She is a talented young woman and our hearts are with her as she continues to take action to improve her health and bounce back from adversity.”

   Grow up Demi. Life is not that bad. You Give being from Texas a real bad name. You should never give into the bull of life. I am so disapointed in you.
