Sarah Michelle Gellar's juicy new 'job'
With the cancellation of Sarah Michelle Gellar's CBS show "The Crazy Ones," the actress has turned to less glamorous career options. On Sunday, July 13, the mother of two joked that a lemonade stand was her newest way to bring home the bacon. "Got to earn a living somehow (right)?" Gellar tweeted, along with a snapshot of the roadside watering hole. (No word on how much she earned on the job.) Here are a few more moments when celebrities have stepped out of their reality and into ours: 
Taylor Swift should be invited to all of our parties. Not only does the superstar singer show up when called -- as she did when fan Gena Gabrielle sent the star an invite to her bridal shower in Columbus, Ohio -- but she comes bearing gifts. Gabrielle, pictured here with Swift on the day of her bridal shower, was gifted with plenty of cooking supplies from the singer, including a KitchenAid mixer. 
Bryan Cranston has gone from "Breaking Bad" to Broadway, but the actor is happy to turn himself back into Walter White for a fan. While signing autographs after a recent performance of "All the Way," Cranston agreed to help one teen ask a girl to prom: "Maddy, if you don't go to the prom with Stefan," Cranston intoned, "then maybe your best course of action would be to tread lightly." Obviously Maddy must be a "Breaking Bad" fan, because she said yes. 
Clint Eastwood is clearly the man to have around in a crisis. The actor and filmmaker jumped to the rescue of Steve John, the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am director, after John began choking on a piece of cheese at a charity dinner on February 5. John is seen here posing beneath photographs of Eastwood, left, and Bing Crosby. 
After a successful online effort to make it happen, Jon Bon Jovi walked Australian bride-to-be Branka Delic down the aisle before her wedding to Gonzalo Cladera at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on October 12. 
Despite being one of the biggest celebrities around, Tom Hanks has a reputation for being a man of the people. Case in point: The actor quietly reported to jury duty in September before the case came to an abrupt end. 
Dr. Mehmet Oz, left, and plumber David Justino assisted at the scene of a car accident when a woman was hit by a taxi last year in New York. 
Dave Matthews gave one of his fans the experience of a lifetime when he hopped into the back of her car after his bike broke down on his way to a concert in July 2013. The fan, Emily Kraus, has said how kind Matthews was, inviting her and her boyfriend to dinner and giving them front-row seats to the concert. 
Jay-Z proved that he's not too famous for NYC's subway when he took the train to a performance at Brooklyn's Barclays Center in 2012. The artist chatted with another artist, Ellen Grossman, along the way. 
Most celebrities will announce their presence months before they arrive anywhere, especially if it's an event that will bring them positive press. But when Tom Cruise gave a commencement speech last year to aspiring actors at Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown Studio in Santa Monica, California, he showed up completely unannounced. One source told the New York Post that it was "one of the most inspiring speeches we've had." 
Country singer Craig Morgan jumped to the rescue in June 2013 when he saw a highway crash ahead of his bus in Humphreys County, Tennessee. Since Morgan is a trained emergency medical technician, he helped put out a small fire and get everyone to safety. 
Not long before Craig Morgan's rescue work, John Malkovich came to a civilian's aid as well. The actor was in Toronto when he rushed to the side of an older gentleman who'd fallen and hit his head on a scaffolding pole. Malkovich kept the man and his wife calm until paramedics arrived, and he made sure to apply pressure to the man's wound. 
Jennifer Lawrence isn't too "Hollywood" to help out a stranger. The Oscar-winning actress stayed by the side of a sick woman who was lying on the ground and in need of care in June 2012. Lawrence remained put until paramedics arrived on the scene in Santa Monica. 
Ryan Gosling made his fans swoon when he stepped in to break up a fight in the streets of New York City in August 2011. The next year, he was also credited with saving a woman from walking in front of a speeding car in the Big Apple. 
Patrick Dempsey came to a teen's rescue in April 2012. The "Grey's Anatomy" heartthrob saved Malibu, California, resident Weston Masset after Masset's Ford Mustang flipped over. Armed with a crowbar and a fire extinguisher, Dempsey pulled the 17-year-old from the wreckage and waited with him until the paramedics arrived. He even called the kid's mother! 
David Lee Roth is another celeb who can assist in an emergency. The rocker switched gears from music to medical help in 2004 when he worked as an EMT in New York. 
Dustin Hoffman was taking a walk through London's Hyde Park in April 2012 when he came to the rescue of a jogger who was having heart trouble. Hoffman worked quickly when he saw the 27-year-old man "staggering and frothing at the mouth" before collapsing, according to the London Evening Standard. The actor called for help and made sure the man was on his back, staying with him until medical services arrived. 
Since her relocation to New York City, Katie Holmes has been seen taking full advantage of the city that never sleeps. Aside from frequently strolling the streets of New York like a regular Joe, Holmes was also photographed sneaking in a catnap on the subway in November 2012.
