Demi Lovato wants a role in स्कैंडल 

Does Olivia Pope need an assistant? Demi Lovato has put her hand up for the job.

The Heart Attack singer is no stranger to the acting industry, having first made a name for herself in Disney Channel movie Camp Rock.

And now Lovato has set her sights on another job – a starring part on Kerry Washington\'s hit US TV show Scandal.

In the programme, Washington plays Olivia Pope, a former White House Communications Director and mistress of the President of the United States. She works alongside a team of employees at Olivia Pope & Associates, taking on the legal cases of some of the country\'s elite. 

But Lovato thinks there is a role missing from the drama – a role that she could fill. 

During a Twitter Q&A session with Washington and her Scandal co-star Katie Lowes, Lovato tweeted: "Hey @kerrywashington, how do I apply to be Olivia Pope\'s assistant?!? #AskScandal."

Lovato previously revealed that she\'s keen to return to acting at some point in the near future.

During an interview with Mix 105.1FM, Lovato said: "I would love to return to acting at some point, if there was one thing I\'d want to be on Scandal so bad or The Following! Those are two of my favorite TV shows."

After starring in Camp Rock with the Jonas Brothers, Lovato\'s show Sonny with a Chance premiered.

Due to the huge success of the film, Lovato then reprised her role in the sequel. 

She has since appeared as a recurring guest star in Glee, in which she played the girlfriend of Naya Rivera\'s character.
