As Demi Lovato makes plans to spend Thanksgiving with her family, I have even more good news about the Disney star.

Sonny With a Chance costar Sterling Knight has spoken with Lovato...

"She's doing well," Knight told me exclusively last night at GQ's Men of the Year party at Chateau Marmont. "She's in good spirits. I didn't want to bother her too much because I want her to get her rest. I know she's been overworked for a long time. I'm hoping she stays strong and gets through it."

Knight's happy Lovato decided to get help now rather than wait until she got older. "You'd rather nip it in the bud sooner than later," he said. "I know she's been real busy—almost entirely too busy for any human being, let along a 17-year-old girl. It's nice that she's handling her stuff."

Cast and crew will soon return to shooting Sonny, but still no official word if Lovato will be there. "We have a little contingency plan going on," Sterling said. "We're going to have some fun doing some sketch comedy. It's exciting because it's going to be a different kind of turn for the show."
