Demi Lovato says she is now a “legit” teenager (calm down, old guys…she said LEGIT, not LEGAL). What does this mean? Well, the young star of “Camp Rock” and “Sonny with a Chance” is now a licensed driver. Demi tweeted on the Twitter that “I’m officially a legit teenager. I know have my LICENSE!!!! .” She obviously meant to say “I NOW have my license,” but give the poor girl a break. She’s excited, and rightfully so.

So congratulations, Demi! Just to get you started, here are a few tips based on mistakes learned by other famous drivers:

1) If the cops pull you over and find drugs in your car, DO NOT blame your African American passenger. That does not look good for you at all (just ask Lindsay Lohan).

2) If your license is suspended and you keep driving anyway, there’s a good chance you may have to serve some time (just ask Paris Hilton).

3) If you get the dreaded DUI, just be cool. Remember that all races are equal and you do NOT own the city of Malibu (just ask Mel Gibson; he owns the city of Malibu).

4) For God’s sake, just buy a freaking bluetooth! (yes, I’m speaking to you, Miss Shriver)
