When we think back to the singers, actors, and other artists who defined our childhood, our teenage years, or our young adulthood, it can seem to us like they will ever be suspended in time at that same age. The fact is, of course, that celebrities are humans like the rest of us, and (with...

If you scour the internet, it’s not hard to find stories about celebrities behaving badly. Like the rest of the news tends to be, the people who run with celebrity stuff mostly shares when things go terribly wrong. What about when things go right, though? What about all of the celebrities who are awesome people,...
