Demi Lovato tries to break free of her wholesome Disney image in these “provocative” images from photographer Tyler Shields. Seriously, if the best you can do is drag out the old “sucking on a lollipop to simulate fellatio” routine, then maybe it’s time to just hang up the camera. E! Online says,

This provocative yet alluring shot of Demi Lovato is one of many from her recent photo shoot with photographer Tyler Shields, who talked to E! News about his session with the “Skyscraper” singer that will be featured at his Beyond the Gates show at Imitate Modern in London starting Feb. 24.

[Shields says,] “I think people have a very specific vision of her. No one has seen her doing anything remotely sexy. But she’s a grown woman now, and she wants to be sexy and feel sexy, and she wants to have these pictures forever. Little kids eat lollipops. She’s not a kid anymore, but people view her that way. It’s like, ‘So if you’re going to view me as a kid, then here ya go.’ “

Slapping on a ton of makeup and overexposing the film does not make me forget the fact that she looks exactly like a younger version of HSN’s Colleen Lopez, which unfortunately, is about as unsexy as it gets. Unless of course, you are turned on by the ability to get a 3 stone baguette-cut Absolute ring on 3 Flexpays of $19.99, plus shipping and handling. I’m raising my hand on this one, just so you know. Getting a great deal makes me so fucking hot.
