Miley Cyrus Sends Video Message to Sick Fan Just Hours Before Her Death

Regardless of your feelings about Miley Cyrus’ revealing selfies or celebrity feuds, the following story is sure to leave you with admiration for the controversial pop star’s love for her fans. Caley Camarillo was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at a young age. She had been a fan of Miley’s since her Hannah Montana days and her parents were able to arrange for her to meet Miley during the early stages of her illness. Sadly, Caley passed away this week at the age  of 12. Fortunately, Miley was able to play a heartwarming role in the young girl’s final moments. Miley Cyrus Message to Sick Fan The above video was recorded by Miley the day that Caley died. According to a Facebook post written by Caley’s mother, watching the personal message from her favorite was one of the last things Caley did: “I just wanted to share how things go full circle,” wrote Theresa Camarillo. “Miley Cyrus was the very first celebrity that Caley was into and the very first celebrity that she met. Miley sent this video to Caley and she was able to watch it an hour before she passed. She managed to let out a smile. I take great comfort in this for some reason.” After her initial meeting with Miley, Caley went on to meet several other celebrities.  Taylor Swift’s work with sick children  led her to cross paths with Caley  on at least one occasion. But Caley was a Miley fan first and foremost. And it was a final, impeccably timed act of kindness by Miley that brought joy to a young girl’s final hour.

Justin Bieber to Selena Gomez: I NEED You! You’re My SOULMATE!

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are back together once again, a new rumor alleges, and the unlikely catalyst was the former’s recent racism controversy. According to a source close to Gomez, Justin reached out to her after he came under fire for his two shocking n-word videos , seeking emotional support. The insider claims Bieber told his ex that he “needed her by his side” and his heartfelt words sent her flying to Canada on a private jet last weekend. “Justin reached out to Selena when he was getting tons of backlash for his controversial race joke. He told Selena that he really missed her,” the source says. The coup de grace came when he said that Selena Gomez “was the ONLY one who truly understood him and that he needed her by his side.” “He said that his father’s birthday celebration wouldn’t be the same without Selena because she’s part of the family,” the source also reveals. “He also told her she was his soulmate and that he was lost without her.” Swoon alert. To the surprise of no one, these were deep words “that Selena had longed to hear, even though she’s basically heard them before.” “Yep, they are crazy about each other … once again.” Apparently, this convinced Selena to fly to Canada for the low key birthday celebration for his father, Jeremy Bieber, on the weekend of June 7-8. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Pictures: Young, Star-Crossed Love 1. Justin Bieber With Selena Gomez Photo Justin Bieber loves him some Selena Gomez. Just see these pics from happier times and you’ll know it. Selena flew on up to Canada to spend the weekend at a private cottage with Justin, his dad, his siblings and friends. So are they back together officially? That remains to be seen, but Justin posted a photo of her and said their “love is unconditional” before taking it down this week, so there’s that. Also, a family friend of Jeremy’s girlfriend, Victoria Nosko, tweeted a thank you message to Selena and others who attended the birthday bash. Moments later, she deleted that tweet and posted literally the same message sans Selena’s name, as if trying to cover up the fact that she was there. Nice try. Seems like these two have rekindled the flame again but are keeping it quiet. Wonder if she’s the one who took today’s Bieber bed selfie . You tell us: Should Justin and Selena be together?   Yes, they are meant to be! No, he doesn’t deserve her! No, she doesn’t deserve him! View Poll » Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez GRINDING 1.

Lawsuits: City Of L.A. Sues Citibank Over Predatory Lending Practices In Black Communities That Resulted In Over 1200 Foreclosures

Busted! Citibank Sued By City Of L.A. For Predatory Lending To Minorities Citibank is being hit with a huge predatory lending lawsuit where they are accused of knowingly engaging in predatory lending practices that led to the foreclosure of over 1,200 homes in minority neighborhoods. via Courthouse News Service Los Angeles can pursue claims that predatory Citibank loans in minority neighborhoods caused a disparate number of foreclosures in those areas, a federal judge ruled. The city sued Citibank, Citigroup, CitiMortgage, Citicorp Trust Bank and Citi Holdings in December 2013, claiming they were “reverse redlining” certain minority neighborhoods, resulting in blight and diminished property-tax revenue. A “regression analysis” Los Angeles cited showed that from 2004 to 2011, a black borrower was 2.273 times more likely than a white borrower to receive a predatory loan. The city said it could identify 1,200 loans that resulted in foreclosure, and that it expected the number to rise. U.S. District Judge Otis Wright found sufficient evidence Monday of racial motivation behind the predatory loans. “As L.A. points out, the complaint is rife with allegations that defendants targeted minority borrowers for unfair loan terms based on race or national origin,” he wrote. The banks failed to sway him on their characterization of the city’s alleged injuries as nonspecific. Citing the 1979 decision Gladstone Realtors v. Village of Bellwood, which held that civil actions could be brought against racial discrimination housing sales or rentals, Wright wrote: “the Supreme Court made clear that ‘a significant reduction in property values directly injures a municipality by diminishing its tax base, thus threatening its ability to bear the costs of local government and to provide services.’” “The court finds that it need go no further with respect to L.A.’s alleged injuries of decreased property-tax revenue and increased municipal services,” Wright added. Sounds like Citibank better get ready to drop more than a couple stacks to clean this up….
