Celebrities who give off positive vibes
These are people who just eminate goodness, who maybe are not always smiling, but seem to take the bad in stride.

I am trying to think, but I would say Queen Latifah and Ellen Degeneres(sp) are two I would mention.

Any other thoughts?

4. I did not know
about that. He is perfect! There is just something about those two. There are many that I feel something like that about but those two just seem kind and gentle, creative and loving.

6. Denzel in life I would say is positive
In his acting, he always does well with the conflicted characters, like in Manchurian Candidate and Courage Under Fire...and he was a good jerk in Training Day!!

I would say outside of acting, he does exude a positivity about him. Great actor!

And Tom Hanks, gotta love Tom Hanks!

12. "Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch??!"
If you haven't seen his appearance on Chappelle's Show, you must. He completely smashes his nice-guy persona in a skit. Hilarious.

18. Yes, I have
He is very funny. Thing is, he really was a nice guy, at least when I knew him.

That skit had me in stitches.

23. Oh, I'm sure he is, but that was some hysterical self-parody.

8. Paul Newman and Joann Woodward. Gregory Peck was like that as well.
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 10:53 PM by BrklynLiberal
I know these are oldtimers, but they deserve some recognition as well.

11. Yes she does, despite her cancer
I guess Sheryl Crow could qualify, as well.
