Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield (yes, Gwen Stacy and Spidey are dating IRL) were followed by paparazzi all over New York City this past Saturday, but instead of scowling or throwing punches, the couple created some homemade signs to help raise awareness for the Worldwide Orphans Foundation and Gilda’s Club. The signs read:
"We just found out that there are paparazzi outside the restaurant we were eating in. So... why not take this opportunity to bring attention to organizations that need and deserve it? www.WWO.org and www.GildasClubNYC.org — Have a great day!"
Other celebrities take note—even if you're the less charitable type, you could at least use the same stunt to promote your Twitter handle or ask why the paparazzi and public aren't hounding that other fallen actress who also crashed cars!
