Lets talk about celebrities who behave admirably, who do something worthwhile with their status.

Rule: Whatever good thing they do can't be the main reason they are famous. Jonas Salk was very famous for curing polio, so he wouldn't count.

Brad Pitt-

Despite seeming the biggest douche on Earth for his Chanel #5 commercials, I admire that he throws his effort and celebrity into his non-profit "Make It Right" organization to rebuild New Orleans with quality green housing. An odd choice for a dude who supposedly loves Ayn Rand, but still, good for him.

Bill Gates

I hate M$, but look here: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/18bhme/im_bill_gates_cochair_of_the_bill_melinda_gates/

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Water.org is an American nonprofit developmental aid organization resulting from the merger between H2O Africa, co-founded by Matt Damon, and WaterPartners, co-founded by Gary White. Its goal is to provide aid to regions of developing countries that do not have access to safe drinking water and sanitation.

Matt is an admirable celebrity.
Gary was a cross-country runner in high school, and a team mate of mine. Go Celtics!

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Keanu Reeves seems to be a pretty good guy. No link ATM, but I recall he bought a bunch of Harleys for his Matrix stunt team and didn't stick around to collect 'thank yous'.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!
