Dove Cameron overcomes her nudity fears
Dove Cameron has overcome her fear of shooting nude scenes. The 29-year-old actress is dating Italian singer Damiano David, and he's encouraged Dove to overcome her fear of filming nude scenes. Speaking to NYLON, Dove explained: "My partner is European and has way less hang-ups on the purity complex than Americans do. "I went to the beach with him during a break while filming, and all the girls were taking their tops off. He was like, 'Nobody's going to be staring at you. You're totally safe. If you want to, then you're free to do that.' Not that he was giving me permission, but he was like, 'You've never done this before. It's normal.'" Dove also credits directors and intimacy coordinators for helping her to overcome her anxieties. The movie star said: "I think it actually helped me fast-forward in my evolution." Dove actually finds love to be "inspiring", and the actress - who has battled depression in the past - has admitted to feeling "very safe" with Damiano. She shared: "The thing about love is it's just, like, f****** inspiring. "I was enjoying this campy feminine moment that I was in, where I was suddenly someone's girlfriend. I was very healed, very in love, feeling very safe." Dove has actually recently returned to listening to some of her favourite artists from her young years. She said: "I was suddenly listening to what I grew up listening to: Marina, Robyn, Gaga, Lana. And I was like, 'Wait a minute. What happened to all that music that I rejected, that I grew up with, that I was formed by?' I was listening to that music again going, 'This would slap today. This would absolutely rule the radio. It's all I want to consume.'' Dove starred in Liv and Maddie, the Disney sitcom, between 2013 and 2017. But she recently confessed that it would be "f****** hard" to be on the Disney Channel these days. The actress - who also played the leading role in Disney's Descendants film franchise - told People: "I think even as an adult now, I would go back and be like, wow, this is f****** hard."

Kevin Jonas couldn't raise his daughters without the support of his wife
Kevin Jonas couldn't raise his daughters without the support of his wife. The 37-year-old pop star grew up with brothers, Joe, 35, and Nick, 32, and found fame with them as part of a pop trio in the late 2000s but admitted on Father's Day (15.06.25) that being father to girs Alena, 11, and eight-year-old Valentina with his wife Danielle is very much an "unknown territory" to him. He told E! News: "It's really special, but it's also unknown territory for me, which is why I sometimes respond and react to situations like it would have been with boys. Then my wife looks at me like, 'No, the exact opposite of what you're doing, we need to do that!' "I could not do it without her. She's the guiding light in our family." Along with his brothers, Nick made several appearances on the Disney Channel at the height of his fame and revealed that their movie Camp Rock - which also starred Demi Lovato and first aired on the network in 2008 - is a favourite of theirs, as is fellow musical franchise Zombies. "They love Camp Rock. "Camp Rock is huge. It's just not as big as Descendants or, especially now, Zombies. "Zombies is coming out with their new movie in June and I know this because I'm a huge girl dad, who's gonna bring them to the concert tour and do the whole thing." Nick then revealed that his daughters recently filmed an upcoming Christmas special with him and that his eldest seems set to follow in his footsteps, but insisted that he will never "push" her to do so. He said: "They're actually in the film, and they had a really good time. "My oldest daughter definitely started to do the thing. She started to see what it's like on set. She said to me, 'I really want to be an actress.' "She really enjoyed it, but I will never push them to do it.

Dove Cameron shares a loving tribute to her Descendants co-star... six years after his tragic death
Dove Cameron has remembered late co-star and close friend Cameron Boyce on Wednesday, which would have been his 26th birthday. The 29-year-old actress made an emotional tribute to the actor, who died in 2019 at age 20 during a fatal seizure while sleeping at his Los Angeles home. 'I still feel you all the time. catch you in the next life. happy birthday. i love you,' wrote the versatile actress. The former Disney star shared four black-and-white photographs with her Descendants costar. One saw them goofing around, another shot showed them in an embrace then there was a cast shot from Descendants and finally there was an image of a tattoo on her arm of a gun that shot out a rose. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Soon after he passed Dove posted a video talking about her friend. 'Cameron was always good and kind,' the entertainer said. 'He was selfless and generous, he was magnanimous and arguably a true philanthropist at only 20. Beloved by anyone who had ever been lucky enough to experience his light and indescribable energy. Cameron was the ultimate example of a human being.' 'I felt really weird posting about Cameron on social media,' said the actress, who had her hair pulled back and wore dark frame glasses in the emotional clip. The red carpet regular read from a letter she penned about the actor, who portrayed Carlos to her Mal in the popular film series. 'The last 72 hours have felt like two weeks and I've spent them trying to make my thoughts and feelings into words that might communicate anything about what I'm feeling,' the Seattle native said. 'I've been unsuccessful ... my system is still in shock and my brain is still foggy and full of holes.' She paid homage to Boyce's family, saying her heart aches for them. 'Cameron was one of my favorite people alive in the world, though I know that's not unique to me,' she said. 'Cameron was magic - an earth angel.' The Hairspray Live alum said that Boyce was always a loyal and caring friend to her, offering examples of his kind nature: 'Over the last six years, since he was only 14, Cameron talked me down from countless ledges, got me through eating disorders, helped me out of a dark relationship and through endless breakdowns.' Dove opened up about their on-set interactions, recalling charming details about the professional chemistry they shared. 'He would whisper the dance moves to me on live television when I didn't know what I was doing or hold my hand quietly to communicate wordlessly when we both knew we were thinking the same thing,' she said. 'I can't count on my hands the number of times we ruined something because we couldn't stop making each other laugh.' Dove called Boyce 'undoubtedly the most talented person most of us will ever know,' noting that his actions when the cameras were off were just as magnanimous. 'Goodbye my dear, dear friend and brother, you leave behind a colossal wake, a profound chasm that can never be filled,' Dove said, 'but you also leave millions and millions of deeply impacted, hope-filled and love-filled human beings who are who they are because of you and how you spent your brief 20 years on this earth. She continued, saying, 'What a gift you were, you turned the world on its head. We can all only hope to be half of the human that you were - and you deserved so much more time. 'Goodbye to an earth angel: I will spend the rest of my life missing and loving you and all the better for knowing you.' Dove joined a long list of Boyce's former co-workers to share condolences for the actor's family following his tragic passing. They included Grown Ups co-stars, Adam Sandler, Salma Hayek and David Spade.
