It’s the holiday season and who doesn’t love reading stories of human beings being, well, human? The kindness, warmth and generosity displayed by some very good people reminds us that the spirit of humanity will never die.
Grease is one of my wife’s favorite movies. She will love this story when I share it with her, so am sharing with others reading, too …
Sadly, singer and Grease actress Olivia Newton John has been diagnosed with breast cancer three times since 1992. Recently, she donated the jacket and her iconic black pants from Grease to an auction for her cancer center.
CNN you did a wonderful thing with this news story, especially this time of year, about a wealthy super fan who chose to remain anonymous, that purchased Olivia Newton John’s iconic black Grease jacket for nearly a quarter of a million dollars — and then returned it to her.
“This jacket belongs to you and the collective soul of those who love you, those for whom you are the soundtrack of their lives. It should not sit in a billionaire’s closet for country club bragging rights,” the anonymous buyer said in Los Angeles this weekend, in a video posted on Facebook by Julien’s Auctions. “For this reason I humbly and respectfully return it to its rightful owner, which is you.”

The second story is more humorous in nature, but still heart warming, reminding that TV and film awards, even a SAG nomination, mean a lot to actors and actresses for their hard work and dedication in films.
Enter Charlize Theron in a bathrobe jumping up and down on a bed and having an accidental, revealing moment:
The talented actress was surrounded by friends while jumping up and down on her bed when she got excited over the nomination and when she realized the bottom part of the blue robe she was wearing opened, the video blanked out with a beep. When it cut back to the clip, it showed the blonde beauty and her friends laughing hysterically as she covered herself and gushed to a cute dog about the nomination.
