Who said celebrities don’t know how to give back?

Russell Brand, who had his share of substance abuse experience, was spotted helping out a homeless man in LA over the weekend.

According to the Daily Mail, Brand, 37, was about to leave his yoga class when he saw the unidentified man in an alley. Right away, the actor/comedian walked over to him and gave him a bottle of water and had small talk. Afterwards, he gave the homeless man a shirt to cover up. Brand then offered the guy a ride, with reporters overhearing him saying that he was taking the man to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

It can be remembered that since 2002, Brand has been sober. He was previously an alcoholic, sex addict, and heroin user. He started making a recovery since attending yoga classes and AA meetings and doing regular meditation.

Yet another loss for Hollywood.

Michael Clarke Duncan, an Oscar-nominated actor, passed away after suffering from a heart attack. The actor was 54. A rep for his fiancée, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, a reality-TV personality, released a statement on her behalf.

Duncan passed away on Monday in Los Angeles. According to the rep, the star “never fully recovered” from his heart attack last July 13, adding:

“Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date.”

Our condolences to Duncan’s loved ones.

Adam Levine Spotted in the Big Apple with New Girl(friend?)

Adam Levine

It does seem like Adam Levine has a particular type when it comes to women.

The 33-year-old singer was spotted walking (and holding hands!) with Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo, 23, around the SoHo neighborhood in NYC on July 10. The two have been together since June, but a friend of Levine says that the Nambian beauty and the The Voice judge are taking things slow. The pal spills:

“He’s having fun with her right now. He said he didn’t want to date a model again, but hey, he’s a rock star, so it’s sort of in his blood!”

News of his new relationship came out three months after his ex, 26-year-old supermodel Anne Vyalitsyna, “blindsided” him by calling it quits in a press statement. According to another insider:

“Behati always had a crush on Adam. . . and she was a little jealous of Anne.”

The Maroon 5 frontman is currently in the City that Never Sleeps filming his first movie debut, Can a Song Save Your Life?, with Keira Knightley, 27, Mark Ruffalo, 44, and Hailee Steinfeld, 15.

On July 11, Behati joined fellow Victoria’s Secret models Doutzen Kroes, 27, Erin Heatherton, 23, Arlenis Sosa, 23, and Lindsay Ellingson, 27, for a Soul Cycle ride in the Big Apple to support cancer research. So the two are in the same city then! Coincidence? We don’t think so. The model says:

“I’m taking August off, but I have no idea what I’m going to do or where I’m going to go. I would love to go on holiday at a beach or just swimming in the ocean. I love swimming. I love outdoorsy stuff.”
