It's nice to hear about someone who wants to do something nice and doesn't feel the need to brag about it on social media. It still happens whether you report it or not. Humility is really hard to come by these days. God Bless Chris Martin!
She was one of a kind. I recently read about the time a producer sexually assaulted a friend of hers and Fisher sent him a box with a cow's tongue in it! and a note that said "if you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box". Ha! Love her. RIP Carrie Fisher.
This isn’t surprising to hear at all. Robin Williams seemed like a wonderful person. It’s a shame that sometimes the most sensitive, empathetic people don’t seem made to live in this world. 😢
I'm not on twitter but Margaret Cho did this for me when I had gotten laid off very suddenly from my work during the .com crash. Sweetest thing ever.
I would love to meet Hugh Jackman, he seems like such a warm and down to earth guy.
I imagine ~~~~~~ that a moment of normalcy duos as comfort soul~food for those who have crossed over to the #LimeLite# ...ultimately to lose this lovely bytheway idle time-line connection with other folk ...........
That made me tear up!! I hope you are no longer lonelt. I was one of those little girls, too.
That's so weird! Same thing happened to us on a DofE walk back in the late 80's, but that time it was Rod Stewart :)
Sinbad flew through DIA in the late 90s quite often and I worked in the United Customer Service terminal. He always called out to me and teased me and made me feel special. He was so nice!
Zachary Quinto talked to me for 10 minutes and then remembered my name and my wife's name when we said goodbye. We were blown away by that.
I'm not tired of sexual harassment allegations. I'm tired of sexual harassment full stop. So as long as it exists, I'm ready to listen to every single victim coming forward.
This isn't a good title; it should be something like "This Twitter user tries to show that some celebrities are actually really kind".
"not all celebrities are bad" ..... no s**t?.... But I thought they were ALL bad! Every single one of them! Thanks for the heads up.
I saw T4(it's a British show) presenter Jameela Jamil at a charity event organised by a girl of about 12 that had zero media attention. Jameela went around talking to everyone taking pictures etc just being really nice. She's also insanely beutiful in person and really funny. She apprantly does alot of charity stuff like that.
Some people snatch at celebrity and flaunt their "status" and wealth, proving themselves to be heartless a--holes. It's nice to hear about the totally normal people who also happen to be celebrities.
Some things shouldn't be worried over, like an old man patting a butt, if that destroys a girls well-being for life, she's too delicate for this world. AND, more important, it makes an excellent movement against sexial harrassment look silly and much ado about nothing.
I think this is a terrific invitation. As for sex and harassment? It's all about Power and Selfishness. Our race will never get over these flaws. Some people are just worse than others.
Why do so many posts say "Kill all the Nazis", seemed kinda a weird thing. Twitter thing?
Hollywood need no shills. There is no need to talk about the good things in Hollywood right now, they need to clean up their acts first. I hear no liberals talking about the good things of President Trump, or conservatives talking about the good things of President Obama. Why don't we clean house first and THEN find the good things. I'm tired of all of it.
Dean Martin drank 7-Up, not booze, and was incredibly nice. My mom sat next to him at a diner show, and people kept passing their menus to him through her and asking him to sign them. At the end of the night, he asked why she didn't ask for his autograph. She said she didn't want to interrupt his time with his family. He looked at her for a second, stood up, and left. When he came back, he gave her his menu, and he'd had every celebrity in the showroom sign it for her. He was a really good guy.
I phoned up Liam Neeson once to ask for an autograph he said I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career., I will look for you, I will find you and I will be nice to you!!."

I dont understand people who become "star struck" any more than I understand WHY this article even EXISTS! I know many celebrities (by way of a friend) they are PEOPLE! Human beings! Not Gods! Just like everyone else some are nice and some arent!
