While some argue that celebrities are put on a pedestal, many stars have gone above and beyond to earn their accolades—and we're not just talking about doing their jobs well (although that's great, too!) In honor of Good Samaritan Day 2013, we want to take a look back at all of the celebs who have sprung into action during times of need.
JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Playing a heroine on- and offscreen, the Hunger Games star comforted a woman who had passed out on her lawn until paramedics arrived.

Celebrity Good Samaritans

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY
This superhero has many powers and most certainly isn't afraid to use them. The actor reportedly rescued a little girl from a coyote at a Los Angeles park and resuscitated a 50-year-old woman
DEMI MOORE
Oh, the power of words. After one of the actress' Twitter followers posted suicidal thoughts, Demi cautiously and sweetly replied. Her response gave police enough information to locate and help the distressed girl.
BRAD PITT
Man overboard! While in Venice promoting Burn After Reading, Brad Pitt pulled a fan out of the water after he had tripped and fallen in. Although shocked and scared, the boy left happy and unharmed with an autograph.
WILL FERRELL
Talk about a slippery slope! While filming an episode of Man vs. Wild, the funnyman saved adventurer Bear Grylls' life after he fell off an ice cliff near the Arctic Circle.

I don't think it's working for him at all, and I don't think it worked for Nicole either given her relationship with her children.
As for forking over money, it's his money. I'd rather he did that than forking it over to a drug dealer like some of these non-Scientology celebrities.

Once something is a religion, and gets tax exempt status it's like a blanket is tossed over it and nothing is ever done to serve justice to those committing crimes.
Sure the Catholics had to pay money, but how many of their priests were punished by the law instead of hidden away
Lets not be stupid here, there is tons of proof that leaders in Scientology are using their followers for bad things, and treating them like shit, not feeding them when they are sent away, held in trailers or office trailers and forced to beat the shit out of each other.However it's a religion and until they are stripped of their tax exempt status and considered a cult by authorities the leaders will do what they want with their employees and followers and that's the whole ball game.
You don't believe that and I don't believe that because it simply isn't true. So stop rotating that rubbish. It's run its course.
Religion is a powerful thing in the US, even if your religion is based on space aliens and audits that comes with a lot of power, especially when you have tons of celebrities out there supporting it. So I could see a blind eye being turned towards the injustices towards Scientology children just like they were the children of Catholics that were abused. I am sorry if you can see the truth in this but these are the facts.
OK. Have a nice day Alex.
