CDAN – So, this A list singer who is married to an A list movie actress was in a music store over the weekend and was looking at guitars and trying some of them out. Also in the store at the same time was a teenager who was looking at effects pedals. The specific one the kid was looking at cost about $500 which is pretty pricey for a pedal.
Anyway our singer and the teen talked for awhile and then the singer ended up buying a guitar for himself. While he was at the counter paying he told the cashier to also charge the effects pedal to his credit card and to tell the teen Merry Christmas.

Congrats to JAQueen for being the first with the correct answer, and thanks to MissDee for the link!
HERE’S a heart-warming Yuletide tale that shows Caboolture lad Keith Urban really is a top guy.
The Nashville-based superstar played secret Santa to an awestruck youth in a Fortitude Valley guitar shop on Saturday.
The young punter was in Tym Guitars trying out a fuzz pedal (a guitar effects device) when Urban, in between Boondall shows, walked in with his band.
Owner Tym Brennan says Keef and co were “genuinely very nice” and spent half an hour trying out a bevy of guitars (with the youngster messing around on the pedal all the while).
After settling on a $1400 Maton (a good Australian-made guitar), Urban leans over and whispers, “How much is the pedal that kid’s playing?”
“$450,” Brennan says.
Urban: “Put it on my card with the guitar.”
Tym: “Do you want me to tell the kid?”
Urban: “Wait till I leave.”
Brennan recounts: “Keith pays, then on the way out, shakes the youth’s hand and says, “Merry Christmas”.
“Was that Keith Urban? He said ‘Merry Christmas’ to me,” the kid beams.
“Yeah,” says Brennan, “He just bought you that pedal.”
The kid was so “blown away” he was shaking, Brennan tells us.
keith urban and nicole kidman
Keith Urban seems like a good guy so I think this is probably him!
My initial thought was Pete Wentz but Ashley is faaaaaarrrrr from “A list actress”!
Chris Martin and Goopie
No. Not b/c he might be nice enough, but b/c she’s so offensive she would have publicized it.
Urban and Kidman. I don’t know why these two always seem to get such a bad rap on message boards either. Merry Christmas!
it’s her frozen face, i think, that people have a hard time with. i know i do, and i’m not alone…
katherina heigl and whomever she married?
Yeah they’re A-list…in their dreams!
Its Keith Urban here’s the link

Nice find.
I don’t think this was ever really a blind, typical CDAN stuff
why did u erase the blind item about brittany murphy?
Hi Daniela – It’s not erased. We only keep SOLVED items on the front page for 24 hours. Click here for the Brittany Murphy item. Love, BG
Dear BG,
Love what you do! Would you consider bringing back “solved” tab? It’s fun to look back on what’s been solved, just in case I missed any…
Thanks!
Hi Cackle! – Since you asked so nicely, we’ll consider it. In the meantime, you can find SOLVED items by looking for the Categories widget to the right >>>> Love, BG
Thanks for pointing that out! Blind as a bat…
Dear Cackle, please stop disparaging us. We will call you as well since you may not be able to see this post. Remember, Santa is watching. And so are we, despite the rumors. Signed, the Bat League.
Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin
aww this is a nice and sweet one
Im going with Keith urban too
I will guess Keith and Nicole, too. I don’t think Chris Martin would strike up a conversation with a random person. He strikes me as a snob.
Is Keith Urban A List? Hell, I’m Australian and I never heard of him until he started dating Nicole.
yeah it’s Keith. missdee just proved it.
aww thats so sweet of him
This is so nice! More celebrities should be like this. There is a similiar story that I recall here in L.A. Where Renee Zellweger basically did the same thing.
What a nice guy!
Good to see nice things going on like this!
That’s really nice of Keith! I’d totally do that too should I ever get rich Lol.
This is a great story! It is really the little things that count in life. Hope to read another one like this soon…
well I wouldnt consider a $500 dollar pedal the little things in life
What a nice gesture. Playing secret santa is such a great feeling too. Wishing him good karma for this “anonymous” gift.
Awww how nice! So glad to see that people can still be nice from time to time =)
What a good feeling one gets from this. I like the “wait till I leave” part.
SO NICE!!
Keith always seems to go out of his way for kids. I give him a lot of credit for that fact alone. Check out the acoustic concert he gave at a Verizon Wireless store in Cool Springs TN recently. He pulled a kid onstage to play with him! So cool.

That is so incredibly cool and sweet! The kid will always, always remember that moment. In fact, he’ll tell the story as an old man in a nursing home, still with the happy, dazed smile on his face.
