Xzibit
We love it when our stories have far reaching implications. Awhile back we wrote about Xzibit from Pimp My Ride, who brought a group of friends to Arnie Mortons Steak House in Burbank and left a miserly tip: $100 on a $1700 tab. And get this - he was flaunting a diamond watch worth half a million dollars. Apparently Xzibit was VERY upset when he got wind of our story because he marched into the Beverly Hills Arnie Morton's restaurant in a rage and announced that he would NEVER go back to the Burbank Mortons because someone leaked the cheapskate story. He insisted he left a small tip because he got "bad service." We have a feeling the Burbank waiters aren't weeping crocodile tears.
Pimp My Ride star Xzibit brought ten people to Arnie Morton's for steak dinners not long ago. He flashed a diamond encrusted watch that looked like it was worth half a million dollars. The group drank and ate their way up to a $1700 tab which Xzibit paid, but he left a shockingly miserly tip of $100 for the hardworking server! Here's a guy who can pimp a car but can't tip a waiter.
We had a conversation with an actor who played a young inmate in the surprise hit Gridiron Gang and we asked how it was to work with The Rock. He said The Rock is a nice guy but his costar Xzibit turned out to be the life of the party. "He had a great sense of humor and was always cracking jokes." Xzibit couldn't shake his Pimp My Ride image during the movie shoot. In the film, the rapper turned actor plays the Rock's assistant coach to a team in a juvenile detention facility. After enduring endless teasing comments about his stint as host on Pimp My Ride, Xzibit laid down the law. He made all the guys get down and do PUSHUPS every time someone referred to the car makeover show.
