The girl’s sister was also traveling to Humboldt State University, but was on a different bus. Another student, Adrian Castro, 18, has also been identified among those that perished. he was a senior at El Monte High School who played on the school’s fottball team Michael Myvett, 29, and his fiancee Mattison Haywood were serving as chaperones on the bus that was traveling from Southern California to Humboldt State University when it was hit by a FedEx tractor-trailer and exploded into flames. ‘He just died,’ his grandmother Debra Loyd said. ‘He was my grandson, the greatest grandson any grandparent could ever have.” Marisa Serrato, 17, has been missing since Thursday evening after a FedEx tractor-trailer slammed into the bus, said her brother Miguel Serrato, 23. The other twin, Marisol Serrato, was on a different bus that wasn’t involved in the crash and made it safely to the school Friday. To hear these kids’ friends and loved ones describe their futures is absolutely heart-breaking… Marisol was accepted to Humboldt State University, while Marisa was waitlisted there. The two Norte Vista High School seniors decided to check out the campus. ‘My sisters are real religious, smart, A students,’ Miguel Serrato said. ‘They were going to get their high school diploma; they were looking toward the future.’ Myvett had given Haywood her engagement ring outside the Louvre art museum in Paris on Christmas Day, said his employers at the Center for Autism and Other Disorders in Torrance. He had provided therapy for autistic children for the last two years. He was ‘able to connect with our kids on a level few others could, and he contributed to their wellbeing in such a positive and profound way,’ the center’s operations manager Kyle Farris said in a statement. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with the families affected by this tragic event.

Grandpa Writes Harsh Letter to Daughter, Shames Her For Disowning His Gay Grandson

An unnamed grandfather recently penned a letter to his daughter, criticizing her for the homophobia that apparently led her to disown his gay grandson. The letter has since gone viral after FCKH8, the gay rights group that first obtained the note, shared it on Facebook and captioned it simply, “Go Grandpa!” The group says they “were blown away by how this guy stands by his grandson and stands up against his own homophobic daughter. This is real love!” The letter came in response to the “hurtful, narrow-minded and backwards” daughter, who had kicked her son out of the house after learning he was gay. This isn’t the first letter to make the online rounds after someone came out as gay, but is particularly moving coming from a grandpa raised in another era. It certainly flies in the face of the stereotype that people from older generations are less likely to be tolerant and accepting of such family and friends. He’s not pleading with Christine to accept the boy, either. He’s hurt by her actions , which he calls the real “abomination” and “shame” in the family. While we’re on the subject of disowning people, he adds, considering it done – at least until this mom finds her heart, in which case give us a call. Some have, inevitably, questioned whether the letter is real. We’d welcome any insight you can provide on that, if you have any one way or the other. But regardless, the message resonates. Don’t you agree?

Blake Hale, 19, also gave his 70-year-old grandpa a bloody nose, an arrest report shows.

Wilson said Hale was acting drunk when she came home and she noticed two bottles of her wine were empty, deputies said. The woman reported Hale became defensive, angry and started yelling obscenities at her. The verbal argument escalated into a physical confrontation and Hale started to bite Wilson on the shoulder as she walked out the front door, the report said. Wilson had a bite mark on her right shoulder, deputies said. When deputies made contact with Wilson’s 70-year-old husband, he reported Hale had punched him and given him a minor bloody nose.

Put On Blast: The Man Responsible For Leaking Money Makin’ Mitt’s “47%” Rant Is Ready To Come Forward For The First Time Tonight!

Surprise! You’re on candid camera d-bag! Jimmy Carter’s Grandson To Come Forward As The Man Who Leaked The Mitt Romney 47% Rant Via HuffingtonPost Bill Clinton won the presidential election for Barack Obama. But it wasn’t his masterful Democratic National Convention speech or the advice he offered the president’s reelection campaign. Clinton, it turns out, inspired the man who filmed Mitt Romney’s infamous and game-changing 47 percent comments. HuffPost has agreed to withhold the name of the surreptitious filmmaker until he breaks his silence on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” Wednesday evening, followed by an appearance on HuffPost Live Thursday morning. In interviews over the last several months, he laid out his thinking before and after Romney’s speech. The man, who tended bar for a company that catered to a high-end clientele, had previously worked at a fundraiser at a home where Clinton spoke. After Clinton addressed guests, the man recalled, the former president came back to the kitchen and thanked the staff, the waiters, the bartenders, the busboys, and everyone else involved in putting the event together. He shook hands, took photos, signed autographs, and praised the meal — all characteristic of the former president. When the bartender learned he would be working at Romney’s fundraiser, his first thought was to bring his camera, in case he had a chance to get a photo with the presidential candidate. Romney, of course, did not speak to any of the staff, bussers or waiters. He was late to the event, and rushed out. He told his dinner guests that the event was off the record, but never bothered to repeat the admonition to the people working there. One of them had brought along a Canon camera. He set it on the bar and hit the record button. Jimmy Carter’s grandson, James, took the brunt of the public publicity for making sure that the tape was serviced to all the national media outlets. Might have to give James Carter and his soon-to-be-named friend a hood pass. Barry-O ‘preciates y’all playa! Image via AP

Will You Be Watching? Angela Bassett And Mary J. Blige Lifetime Movie About Widows Of MLK And Malcolm X Airs Tonight

The air date for “Betty And Coretta” has finally arrived. Will you be watching? Here’s some info via the AJC : …Lifetime finds a new angle: the friendship between their widows, Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King, after their husbands were assassinated during the turbulent 1960s. The film, “Betty & Coretta,” debuts at 8 tonight starring Academy Award-nominated actress Angela Bassett as King and R&B singer Mary J. Blige as Shabazz. Though Malcolm X and King were not particularly close, the widows found common ground starting in the early 1970s as single mothers with history-making spouses. Their ties grew stronger over the years until Shabazz’s death in 1997 from a tragic fire set by her grandson. They even took a spa vacation together. Larry Sanitsky, an executive producer for the film, considered King “the Jackie Kennedy of the civil rights movement.” The film conveys how she embraced her husband’s legacy. Bassett, who actually played Shabazz in the acclaimed 1992 film “Malcolm X” starring Denzel Washington, told ABC News that King considered her role “a God-given purpose, a calling on her life.” King’s activism inspired Shabazz to become more vocal in the movement as well. “These women were going through some horrible trials, and they were so strong,” Blige said in a recent news conference. “It’s good for Coretta that she stepped out and she made Martin’s voice heard; she made her own voice heard, and so did Betty.” Actress Ruby Dee, who was friends with both of them, narrates the movie. It was filmed in Montreal, which masqueraded as New York and Atlanta, among other cities. Sanitsky said he was thrilled Lifetime chose to air this film, in a move “not driven by numbers or working the headlines. This is a little-known piece of American history.” Sounds like a great way to kick off Black History Month! Photo Credit: Lifetime
