Carlos Jiménez (La Mona) is a singer of my country, he's super humble and caritative, if you go to his house and ask him for money for a good cause, is probably that he gives you the money. One time a guy who was asking for food went to his house, the singer bought him an entire shop.

Leonard Cohen bought his friend and spiritual advisor Yakov Leib ha Kohain a house and sent him money every month.

On the set of *Blazing Saddles*, Burton Gilliam (Lyle) felt so uncomfortable saying a certain racial slur against black people that he apologized in advance to Cleavon Little (Sheriff Bart), wanting to be clear it was only due to the script.

When Steven Spielberg was working on Schindler's List, Robin Williams would call him and tell him jokes to cheer him up.

George Michael put on a concert for NHS nurses in order to thank the nurses who cared for his mother, who died of cancer in 1997. He performed an eclectic range of his hits at the free special thank you gig at the Roundhouse in Camden, north London in 2006. Class act.

Ryan gosling's dad was a cellophane film salesman. As a kid, he always dreamt of someone saying "I'll take it all!" So he could spend more time with his dad. Once making it big he saw some girl scouts selling cookies, pulled over, and bought it all. He realized soon after that he had way too many boxes of cookies in his car, so he would toss them to people he passed on the street.

When Keanu Reeves was on a plane a couple of years ago, he and the other passengers were stranded after their airplane had mechanical difficulties. So he stayed with them, helped with organizing other means of transportation for the people (a van). And drove with them the last 100miles to la.
It's just a cool and wholesome story that makes me like him even more.

Patrick Dempsey is very involved in the Dempsey Center is central and Southern Maine, which provides support to patients and families with cancer. Apparently his mother had some type of cancer, which was the inspiration? He is a very visual presence from what I’ve heard, not just at the annual fundraiser but more generally in the office. The people love him.

My brother sold a vintage guitar peddle on fb marketplace today, to someone who tours with City and Colour, apparently they bought it to troll Dallas Green at his show tonight lmao.

“In order to finish lines for the final scene of 1989’s “All Dogs Go to Heaven,” Burt Reynolds ended up needing around 63 takes after asking for a “closed studio” and while reflecting on a photo of slain 11-year-old actor Judith Barsi”.

Gary Sinise started the Gary Sinise Foundation to help wounded veterans. One of the programs within it helps fund the construction of adapted smart homes and they’re given mortgage free. He also plays in the “Lt. Dan Band” to raise money for disabled veterans and ran Operation Iraqi Child for some time.

When the whole Tonight Show debacle went down, one of the main sticking points in negotiating Conan O'Brien's exit package was Conan wanted massive severance packages for his staff. A lot of them worked with him in New York and came out with him to LA, and he knew they were the ones getting screwed over the most, seeing as to how they gave up their lives in New York for this.

Aphex Twin and Bjork are pen pals. They share hyper-nerdy production techniques with each other. As a huge fan of both, finding this out became one of my favorite facts.

I always think about one time when Salma Hayek had a baby and she went on a UNICEF trip and when she encountered a young mother with a baby who needed milk, Salma didn't hesitate, she breastfed that baby.

Adam Sandler (*allegedly)* cast Katie Holmes in Jack and Jill to give her space from Tom Cruise and purposely over-scheduled her during production despite a smaller role, so that she could have a credible excuse to keep Suri from Scientology for an extended period and protect themselves from harm or abuse tactics by higher-ups.

It’s reported that she was only able to successfully blindside Tom with the divorce because she had ample time and separation to prepare her legal proceedings in secret with her father and secure full sole custody of Suri and flee the church. Especially when not monitored by leadership or compromised by Tom leaking info when they otherwise would have kept a watchful eye on any transgressions and intervene—like they previously did with Nicole Kidman’s public divorce + fallout with her adopted children via a coordinated public smear / private psy ops campaign to incite a rift.

It should not be understated how skillfully and airtight the divorce proceedings were prepared and what a monumental uphill battle she was facing—and it likely only succeeded because Katie’s parents were fighting for her at every turn and her father was a very accomplished attorney himself. She stood a real chance at losing Suri forever to Tom+the Church and potentially disappearing a la Shelly Miscavaige, even if she wasn’t vocally fighting Scientology.

John Candy was a good cook, and he used to put on an apron and a chef's toque and make pasta meals for the crew on the sets of his films.

Former NBA player Matthew Dellavedova escorted a fan, who had cancer, to her prom. She said it was the greatest thing. Best of all, though, she got better.

A woman went on the UK version of Deal or No Deal and wanted £15k for IVF treatment. She didn't win nearly that much.

George Michael phoned the show the day after it aired and paid for her IVF treatment.

Lucille Ball funded Star Trek!!!!

Gary Oldman is two weeks younger than Gary Numan.

Harrison Ford saved a lost boy scout.

Oh! That recent moment when Bon Jovi helped talk a lady down from jumping off a bridge? I think there were a couple other people as well.

Gene Wilder wanted his Alzheimer’s diagnosis kept from the public so kids could remember him as Willy Wonka.

Keanu Reeves is a legit legend for giving up his seat on the subway and just being super down-to-earth despite being famous as hell. Dude’s a real-life angel.

A couple of guys stole Mister Roger's car and it made the news in Pittsburgh. They saw whose car it was returned it with a note saying "if we had known it was yours, we wouldn't have stolen it" and it was returned with a full tank of gas.
