While maybe/maybe not boyfriend Justin Bieber stayed busy searching for the perfect pasta dish in Italy with his dad, Selena Gomez spent Wednesday putting some smiles on the faces of sick kids.

"Rudderless" star Gomez, 22, visited Children's Hospital in Los Angeles and posted some pictures with her biggest fans, including one cutie she dubbed "princess."

"Selena took the time to stop and visit with each one, hear their stories, give hugs, share laughs and provide encouragement," the hospital told E! News in a statement. "It was a much-needed lift for these children and their families during an incredibly difficult time."

While she was there, Gomez put on a "Team Connor" bracelet in honor of one of the hospitalized children and the hospital totally appreciated her visit.
