Reporter like many college kids Josh Goldenberg was excited about his newfound freedom after moving off campus in his i just think about the major impact that that place had on my life. Reporter while the house looks immaculate today, josh says back in 2012 it was very different when he lived there. It looked brokendown. It was a mess. Not ept kept up. Reporter joshs father david was alarmed too. The place was clearly not maintained. But we didnt want to hover and helicopter too muchh over josh.

Reporter while the cause of the fire was never determined, josh sued the landlord, alleging and unsafe. The case was settled out of court with no admission of wrongdoing. In boston, there are thousands of college kids like josh who decide to move int offcampus housing, looking for independence or to save money on skyhigh dorm costs.

Reporter many say here in boston theyre subject to decrepit, rundown housing. This is our bathroom. Disgusting. Reporter these disturbing images were captured by the boston globe, part of an investigation that scandalized the city over a year ago. The rats are disgusting. Theyre bigger than my kittens.

These kids are spending a lot of money to go to expensive schools. And yet some of them are living it doesnt stay shut. T. Reporter of course, many of us remember living in some pretty grungy digs during our college days. But as the globe investigation uncovered the real concern is potential safety issues.

As you can see, chain and lock on the windows. Thats not a way out. Reporter while the average student might give up in sheer frustration, not this aspiring law student. This isnt a safe place to be. Its again unacceptable. Reporter at first anjelica tried the tactic of withholding rent. She says when that failed she took her battle to city hall. Filing a complaint against her landlord. Housing inspectors found a number of safety violations, including missing carbb mikds box, inproperly barred windows. Anjelicas gambit worked.

Reporter kylies exfiance couldnt be reached for comment but according to kylie, he ended it just one week before the big da leaving her and her bridesmaids go. So instead of walking down the aisle, kylie walked a 5k color run in her wedding dress. Instead of, this is my pretty white dress im going to walk down the aisle and marry the man of my dreams, now its making a new memory for it. Reporter the video went viral. I think people really took to the story because i turne such a negative, devastating thing and i turned it into something positive. Reporter weve all seen brides being left at the altar on the big screen. In moviesike sex and the city. I cant do this. Reporter but in real life, calling off a wedding is often even more painful to watch. Let alone experience. To call what these women are going through traumatic may even be a bit of an understatement. For women who are in this position, they have a hard time with trust. And then theres the humiliation so when someone breaks up with you and you have to let everyby know, tres a selfesteem issue that can happen, understandably so. Reporter a canceled wedding can also be quite costly. The wedding industry is a more than 50 billion business. With weddings becoming more and more elaborate, thanks in part to reality tv shows like say yes to the dress. Thats a gorgeous gown. Its 25,000. Reporter the average American Wedding costs more than 30,000. And when a wedding doesnt happen, much of that money is gone for good. If the wedding is called off by a certain date, you will get some percentage of the deposits back. But after a certain date, unfortunately, most vendo wont budge and you will end up losing the deposit. Oh, yes, deposits were lost. I mean, it was a week before the wedding. Reporter stacy becker can empathize. Theyd also planned a big, elaborate wedding. Dress, bris maid dresses, our band, our photographer. Reporter she says her fiance called it off. There were night i would spend crying my eyes out in bed. I couldnt get out of bed. Going to work and having to put on a normal face while im dealin with people. Then at home im just crying, sobbing. Reporter turns out canceling a wedding can be almosost as hard as planning one. I was getting on the phone with vendors, having to explain while im completely devastated, over and over again. This is what happened, is there anything we can do to work this out . When a couple calls off the wedding the first thing they can do is hit their family and freps know. They can enlist family members, enlist the Wedding Party to help them spread the word. Reporter stacy managed to get her deposit back for the reception. But many cant. Like a family in california who ended up donating the canceled wedding reception dinner to the homeless. I think that there a women that creatively handle a very difficult situation and its all reporter stacy penned her heartache into a book called knot the one. Now she says shes found her happily ever after with someone else whos grateful for the brokenoff engagement. He threw away the winning lottery ticket. So im happy, i like him.

Unfortunately, at 26, i was not ready to make a a forever commitment. I am happy to have realized that and think that stacy and i are both in better places because of it. Kylies heartbreak is still fresh and reminders of her wedding are everywhere. These turned out well. And you made these. Reporter she plans to get the dress cleaned and donated to charity. It actually turned out really pretty. Reporter despite her the message coming over text, the breakup was actually for the best. Im not mad at h him for calling off the wedding. I thank him. Because now im able to find true happiness. I thank him for that. I really do. Reporter for nightline, im linsey davis in new york. Next, theyre huge stars in their own right. Why did steve cararell and ryan gosling find it so intimidating to work with Christian Bale in the new movie the big short . I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. But t eliquis so hadsignificantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artifial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal inction while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may incrse your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. The golden globe nominations came out today. One movie that got four nods is an unlikely comedy about the housingollapse tt led to the Great Recession of 2008. Tonight were going to hear from Christian Bale, steve carell, ryan gosling, and the direcr about how they turned an apocalyptic and oar cane financial yarn into a laughfest. Heres abcs Chris Connelly. Reporter in a comedy fueled by outrage, the big short gives Christian Bale the chance to work out his characters frustrations on the drums. Its very therapeutic, banging the crarap out ofhose things. We did demolish those drums when we were filming, almost took a crew members eye out. Reporter bale, ryangosling, steve carell playing wall street outsiderers who s last decades crash coming, it was a bestseller. How many times did you read the book . Twice. Almost back to back. I needed to understand what i had just read. It felt its such a great book but its a veryomplicated subject matter. Reporter challenging enough to grasp the details of Michael Lewis epicc account of the 2007 collapse of the housing market. Harder for writer director adam mckay to make the big short into a peoplepleasing ensemble laugher. What was fun about playing someone like jared . He is loosely based on a real person. And yet we had to take a lot of liberties because he became the narrater and also the tour guide through this world. Thats palpable. That . You get to turn to the camera every now and then. I really liked it. Yeah, id like to do more of that. Bell. This is horrible. I just meant to get a car. If i dontind a way out of this, my life is over. Icon when i was a kid. I thought id be doing more of it, honestly. Reporter trying to follow oi. Hows it going . And he said, oh m god, christstian bal is incredible. Im back in l. A. Going, oh, no im in a movie with Christian Bale, are you kidding me . Action. Because the first two weeks were all christian. And the crew and all of us fell in love with christian. Stupidly i would tell these guys that. Steveslike, remember reporter it was mckay who spearheaded the project and attracted its alist cast. Eager to elicit laughter and something more from its audiences. Balele utterly transforms into michael bubury, a doctor with a knack for high finance and a lack of communication skills. You have a very nice haircut, did you do it yourself . Reporter hed wear the same clothing the doc did along with drums. What wa the most important thing for you in sort of telling michaels story . Mike was very understanding of the need for license. I was very surprised how understanding he was of that. You want to stay absolutely truthful to him because he is such a fascinating character. Reporter r ryan goslings deep on the inside cynic is all, y, guy, to carrel and his team. No, alex, no. Reporter with an attitude and sharp fin sharp as his twopiece. Just putting on the suit must have me you feel like, i got this. Right . I did, more it was putting on the wig, i felt like, i got this. I walked out of the trailer and saw steve and steve went, never do this again. Such h a horrorhow. Hes such a golooking human being and he cod not have looked creepier.
