Demi Lovato Admits She’s Dating "One Direction’s" Niall Horan

Demi Lovato and Niall Horan are now dating

Twenty year old “X Factor” judge Demi Lovato just admitted that she is dating 19-year-old teen idol Niall Horan of the group “One Direction”.

Lovato told the Mirror,

"He has a lot of great qualities. He is an amazing listener and makes me laugh a lot, two of the main qualities I look for. He knows I have a little crush on him, and we enjoy having dinner when we get the chance. We speak and message all the time. I don’t want a relationship over Skype; we are both in a place where we feel zero pressure to rush. We share the philosophy that the right one is worth waiting for. It has been a crazy year for One Direction and I have been concentrating on The X Factor and also my well-being.”

We guess this is not your usual type of “boy dates girl” kind of romance seeing that both Lovato and Horan are busy 24 hours day, and considering Demi is headquartered out of Los Angeles and Niall lives in London England when not on tour.

People close to the two lovebirds have been saying for months that the two were dating but both Lovato and Horan had denied the rumors.

Horan has not had a girlfriend since joining the band “One Direction” and Demi Lovato’s last fling was with Joe Jonas just months before Demi checked herself into rehab.

There has also been reports saying that the relationship has been manufactured to help both of their careers and that insiders got the two together as more of a business relationship rather than a romantic one.

Regardless of why, it looks like the two may now officially be an item.

And of course producers would not let you forget that it was the X Factor who found and created the latest boy band sensation with “One Direction”.

As much as the U.S. seems to hate Simon, he actually seems to have gotten the message and has mellowed somewhat.

Yes, there were some expected awkward X Factor moments.

Like when the cross dressing male dressed in a wedding gown tried to sing his heart out, and when a 50 year-old tried to sing his original song about picking up young girls in bars called “Cotton Candy”.

Selena Gomez Stars In "Another Cinderella Story" - Review And Movie Trailer

Poor Selena Gomez. One minute she is accused of a nasty, bitter feud with Miley Cyrus, and the next minute she tells the world the two young pop stars are best friends forever.

Her wholesome image has been tarnished with leaked internet photos, and she is accused of being positioned as the next Hanna Montana. That's a lot of pressure for a young actress and singer.

But now Gomez has the opportunity to show audiences that she can carry a full-length feature film in the romantic musical comedy "Another Cinderella Story", an original musical dance comedy based on the Cinderella fable and directed by Damon Santostefano.

As you can imagine, the story is a familiar one, but with a twist. An ultra modern setting for "Another Cinderella Story" finds Selena Gomez in the modern teen world of cell phones and pop music. Instead of loosing her slipper at the ball, she looses her Zune music player, her mother goes "clubbing" with Paris Hilton, and pop music and dance routines showcase the actress and the movie's characters.

It is the story of young love, and how far one will go to fit in.

Plot: A young man (Andrew Seeley) who dances with what could be the girl of his dreams (Selena Gomez) at a costume ball, only has one hint at her identity: the Zune she left behind as she rushed home in order to make her curfew. And with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, he sets out to find his masked beauty.

Kids will love this movie - adults, not so much. It lacks the glitz of "Ironman" or "Indiana Jones", and is clearly a vehicle to show off the young talents of Selena Gomez. The film is a mindless romantic comedy, with a lot of singing and dancing, and a harmless way to spend an afternoon.

Selena Gomez can currently be seen starring as Alex Russo on the family comedy television series "Wizards Of Waverly Place", a story that centers on a family in New York City that owns a restaurant where, behind the scenes, the kids can do real magic.

Gomez has also appeared in three episodes of "Hanna Montana", voiced the character of Helga in "Horton Hears A Who" starring Jim Carrey, and will appear as herself in the "Jonas Brothers: Living The Dream" concert series documentary.

The next big television project for Gomez is the family comedy "Princess Protection Program", due in January and starring Demi Lovato. The film focuses on a tiny country that is invaded by a dictator, and the young Princess (Demi Lovato) who is taken into custody by the Princess Protection Program.
