Luv Selena, but it would have been nice to have had a warning that the vid was a pathetically low quality cell phone recording.

"...took a cue?" She has been a UNICEF ambassador way before dating Bieber.

That's what I was going to say! *Thank you. UNICEF chose Selena back in 2008 for their Trick-or-Treat event. That was before Biebs was even fully on 'the scene' (fans will get the pun), let alone dating Selena. HuffPo, get your facts straight.
I have a lot of respect for both of them. Justin gets plenty of (well-deserved) credit but when Selena does something, it doesn't automatically have everything or anything to do with him. I'm sure he would much rather the light be on her for the great things she does... especially when one considers all the hate she deals with. Must the media make the double-edged sword of dating Justin Bieber so much sharper? I just find it in poor taste ~ not to mention getting the facts wrong... I have no tolerance for that in such a simple-to-verify situation.

Who is that girl in the shades and blue sweater holding Selena's hand?
