Generous!

Good Influence

A 2003 kindness:
Pop singer Vanessa Carlton, then 22, must be a good influence on her then 38 year old boyfriend Third Eye Blind singer Stephan Jenkins. The pair was strolling in New York when they encountered a homeless man with a sign that read “Just hungry.” Vanessa impulsively pulled out a wad of money that looked like at least $300, and handed it to the homeless man. The man started to cry and kept repeating “God bless you!” Stephan and Vanessa walked away smiling and the guy went to a deli to buy something to eat.

Generous Style

2005: Kirsten Dunst had time on her hands one recent night so she drove up to In-N-Out in Hollywood and ordered a hundred hamburgers to go. According to a pal, Kirsten and her boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal spent nearly $200 at the fast food joint to feed the homeless! “They went through the drive -through around midnight, ordered the burgers and then handed them out at a nearby shelter,” their pals says. “That’s just the kind of people they are, very thoughtful and giving.” Don’t expect either of them to admit their good deed. “They’re not looking for any publicity,” their pal says. “But they have recruited some of their other Hollywood pals to follow their lead.”
