Famous TV psychic Miss Cleo died Tuesday at age 53, a rep tells TMZ. She had been fighting colon cancer that spread to her liver and lungs, and was discharged last week from a hospital to a hospice care center. Miss Cleo, real name Youree Harris, was well known for her catchphrase "CALL ME NOW!" and her fake Jamaican accent (she was actually born in LA). She was surrounded by family and friends when she died, her rep says. (More celebrity death stories.)
