Behind the lights and the crowds and the fame, sometimes we forget that the people on TV, in movies and that make albums are human beings. Of course, a lot of them make it easy to forget by their actions.

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy is not one that has let his fame go to his head. Foxworthy was shopping at his local John's Creek Publix on Saturday night. He went to checkout the groceries in his basket, when he found himself behind a mother and her three restless children. The tired mom, Robin McFadden, said she wasn't even aware anyone was in line behind her, let alone a celebrity like Foxworthy.

After McFadden's groceries had been totaled, after the coupon's had been deducted and after dealing with her three restless kids, she realized she was short the funds to pay for all of her purchases. Embarrassed, she turned towards Foxworthy to apologize for holding up the line. As she did, she realized who it was in line behind her.

Foxworthy laughed as he reached forward with his card, swiping it the debit machine and said "watch this..."

MacFadden said she was on the verge of tears, thanking him for his generosity and giving the comedian a big hug, and also took a picture with him."I am so thankful for him," McFadden said.

Apparently karma was on McFadden's side as she said she had just collected donations of goods for a family in need the week before, and the gracious gesture from Foxworthy may have repayment for her good deeds.

A sure case of paying it forward, and a good deed from America's favorite redneck.
