It’s hard to deny how infatuated our society is with the lives of our favorite celebrities and their relationships. We sit with our friends and gossip about each of them on a first name basis as though they’re our best buds. We fawn over their fame, fortune and good looks. But it’s the rich and famous stars who handle their popularity with a dose of humility that give us a real reason to love them. Having it all and making top headlines in the media is one thing, but the way they act off screen or outside of the studio is what really exemplifies who they are as people. So, let’s put aside the celebs with an attitude and stuck up demeanor, and give credit to the ones who have their feet planted right here on Earth.

Recently, Emma Watson’s boyfriend Johnny Simmons had a life-changing decision to make. It’s been reported that Watson asked him to move not only states, but countries, to be with her. Specifically, she asked Simmons to move to London as she completed a year at Oxford University. At the time, the move was even more monumental because it was still early in their relationship. In November this year, reports surfaced that the duo were suffering from problems related to Simmons’ refusal to follow her to England.

When Kobe Bryant was forced to leave wife Vanessa after cheating allegations, he didn’t have to go very far. The NBA basketball star found a private villa located on the Newport coast of Southern California. The resort that Bryant is staying at has 24/7 housekeeping and butler service. However despite these services for $800 a night, Bryant has apparently elected to take advantage of the laundry unit located in the private garage provided to him, as he was spotted doing just that, according to RadarOnline. Don’t misinterpret that move, thought, because Bryant is still living the life of the rich and the famous after his impending divorce. According to sources, he has his $400,000 Lamborghini parked outside his villa.
