Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus couldn’t be more different, but they’re still great friends and the X Factor judge admitted she feels “protective” over the “We Can’t Stop” singer.

Since undergoing treatment for a variety of issues in rehab, Lovato doesn’t drink or indulge in any partying, but Cyrus has made it clear that she does.

“She knows how I feel about the whole partying thing," Lovato told MTV News about her friend. "I love her to death and I'm always like, 'Just be careful' and she's like, 'Dude, I'm chilling. It's fine.' But I care for her so much that I'm so protective, but she's good. She's got a good head on her shoulders."

Lovato added, "She's twerking and she looks amazing doing it. I don't want to do it in public. One, because people are going to be like, 'Oh, who twerks better?' And two, I'm really tired of the word 'twerking.' It's like 'swag', it's like, 'OK, just stop.' Or 'YOLO;' just don't."

Lovato has been very open about her past issues, such as her struggle with an eating disorder.

She said has said, “Treatment was the best decision that I ever made and it saved my life.”
