It seems we are constantly bombarded with news stories about Hollywood celebrities self-destructing in some combination of crimes or ethical misdeeds. It all gets rather distressing when one thinks that so many people – young people in particular – actually look up to them.

However, there are a handful of people

1. Halle Berry – Halle Berry maintained her dignity even after husband Eric Benet cheated on her and then demanded spousal support in the divorce settlement. Berry also refrained from exploiting her daughter Nahla by selling her baby photos.

2. Tom Hanks – As one of the most respected actors in Hollywood, Tom Hanks is a true class-act. From his Oscar-worthy projects to his 20-year marriage to Rita Wison, he’s widely regarded as one of the nicest men in the biz, but insists he doesn’t mind the label.

“I’m in an interesting position there with the nice guy thing and the problem is that I co-operate. But that is who I am,” says Hanks.

3. Charlize Theron – Theron proves that an actress today can be both sexy and classy. She even has blasted celebrities who constantly court media attention — branding their attitude “ugly.”

4. Cate Blanchett – From stealing the show on the red carpet to choosing critically-acclaimed roles, the Austrialian actress is beautiful, classy and charming. She’s also been outspoken on aging gracefully in Hollywood.

5. Angelina Jolie – Not only does she adopt orphaned children from numerous impoverished countries, Angelina Jolie also helps empower others in need. After a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti earlier this year, Angie sprang into action. The mother-of-six and UN Goodwill Ambassador made an official statement after the disaster, encouraging people to give to SOS.

America’s first 4G phone is also the first to deliver download speeds up to 10x faster than 3G and be a mobile hotspot for up to eight Wi-Fi enabled devices. Not to mention front and rear-facing cameras and the ability to stream live video to the Web. And you get access to over 65,000 apps you’ve come to expect from an Android. So the only question is, what will you do first with EVO? sprint.com/firsts
