Harrison Ford Kindness Nice Guy

HARRISON FORD: UNDERCOVER NICE GUY

This is the type of Good Samaritan item that publicists LOVE to plant about their clients, but in this case it isn’t coming from a publicist so it actually happened! Last year, avid pilot Harrison Ford heard at the hangar (where he parks his plane in Santa Monica) that one of the ground crew was diagnosed with a terminal disease. Harrison arranged for the guy and his family to visit Hawaii, picking up the tab for the a week long vacation. And when the worker passed, Ford paid for the burial and celebration of life. A source reveals Harrison insisted on keeping his generosity anonymous, but we couldn’t help but share.

Charity Dexter James Remar Kindness Sex & The City

FORGET THE DARK KNIGHT, JAMES REMAR IS A REAL HERO

This story restores your faith in actors. A friend of ours was shopping in Pavilions in Hollywood yesterday (a hot day) and noticed “Sex &The City” and “Dexter” actor James Remar ahead of him in the checkout line buying gauze bandages, antiseptic and bottled water. (You might remember Remar as Samantha’s wealthy boyfriend on SATC.) When our source walked outside he saw James kneeling beside a homeless man, gently cleaning off a bleeding cut on his forehead. After he sterilized the cut he wrapped the man’s head in the gauze bandage, gave him water, and advised him to stay in the shade. THAT’S what we consider a true act of kindness. Our source couldn’t resist snapping a photo of the touching scene as he drove away.

Brad Pitt that is very character revealing. Our guy was sweating in the hot sun at the Rose Bowl Flea Market attempting to sell two high end Knoll lounge chairs. In the afternoon Brad walked up and gasped when he saw the chairs. “I really wanted a pair of chairs like these but I lost them at an auction – they went for $20,000! He said. How much are you asking for them? The guy replied “Fifteen hundred dollars.” Brad looked surprised “That’s ALL?” and added “Will you take twelve?” The seller was hot and it was late in the day, so he decided to accept the twelve hundred. Brad smiled and handed him a check and the guy almost fainted – the check was for twelve THOUSAND dollars! (We’ve always told you Brad was a good guy.)

Amy Winehouse Kids Kindness

AMY WINEHOUSE ANSWERS HER OWN DOOR

It’s nice to see an endearing photo of Amy Winehouse for a change. Although, almost everything she does seems highly photogenic to us. These two little boys just walked up and rang her doorbell and asked her to autograph their skateboard. She answered the door herself and sweetly obliged – we’re consistently amazed at how accessible she seems to be.

Diane Keaton Kindness

MOTHER AND SON

Jon (Napolean Dynamite) Heder is in awe of Diane Keaton, who plays his mother in the currently filming “Mama’s Boy.” Heder plays a thirtysomething slacker who lives with his doting mother in the comedy. They’ve been filming on location in the triple digit heat in Santa Clarita, California. On one agonizingly hot day Diane hired a snow cone cart to service the overheated cast and crew all day. On their last day at that location Diane had cupcakes for everyone delivered from Sprinkles in Beverly Hills. “Diane really CARES about the cast and crew” a coworker remarked. Or as Napolean would say “Sweeeeeet!”
