This young gorgeous starlet had to cancel her 2013 tour when she was diagnosed with Lupus. This type of autoimmune disease is more common in women and is usually diagnosed at a later age. Lupus makes the body attack itself, thinking that its own cells are harmful invaders and need to be annihilated. The disease can cause all kinds of symptoms all over the body, including mouth ulcers, skin rashes and kidney problems.
