Tipping

KE$HA NEEDS TO TO LEARN HOW TO TIP!

It’s time for Ke$ha , 25, to take the dollar sign out of her name. She’s grown up a little – celebrity photographer Terry Richardson convinced her to clean up for some presentable photos and it’s time to lose some of her gimmicks. Hopefully, she’s also learned how to tip. Ke$ha had a party awhile back at Jumbo’s Clown Room and haven’t forgotten it. The girls who dance onstage at the club were happy with the abundance of dollar bills thrown onstage as tips from partygoers. But all the bills turned out to be FAKE – with Ke$ha’s picture on them! Those dancers work hard for the money and they were angry and insulted and hope they never see the Tik Tok singer again!

ZAC EFRON IS A GOOD TIPPER IN NEW ORLEANS


Zac Efron is in New Orleans filming The Paperboy with Nicole Kidman and Matthew McConaughey, and he’s enjoying the city. One of his preferred restaurants is Arnaud’s because he loves the jazz band there. Arnaud’s is also a favorite of Nicoas Cage, who enjoys looking out the window and watching all the action on Bourbon Street. We’re told that Zac orders healthy food – usually fish – and one night he changed his clothes three times while eating dinner there.(?) He always refuses to get up and sing with the band but will take a photo with EVERY fan that asks. Oh, and he’s described as a good tipper “over 20 per cent.”

Ashley Olsen “the healthier looking twin” might be a whiz at negotiating business deals but she has a thing or two to learn about tipping. It seems she has become a frequent customer at Terroni, the hot new restaurant on Beverly. Her favorite dish is the eggplant pasta. Ashley often picks up large takeout orders – over a hundred dollars worth – and, according to our source, she NEVER tips! Does this girl who carries $10,000 handbags think takeout means no tip? Even WE know better than that!

Who’s the most popular celebrity who patronizes the Hollywood Post Office on Wilcox? According to a long time postman there, Ben Affleck is by far the best liked celebrity customer. Ben was described as “The sweetest man you’d ever want to meet!” Our postal worker went on to say that sometimes Ben comes in at the end of the day to pick up all his packages and mail and he’s one of the few people who tip – and he’s VERY generous. “Everybody wants to help him.”

XZIBIT: ALL FLASH NO CASH

xzibitcutWe 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.

JOHNNY DEPP AND KEANU REEVES: PASTA TO GO

Untitledblkdeppkeanu
A tale of two actors: Johnny Depp and a friend went to the Vivoli Italian restaurant on Sunset awhile back and ordered two dinners – around $50 worth of food – to go. “He couldn’t have been nicer. He chatted with all the waiters and was friendly to everyone. ” Johnny REALLY impressed his server when he tipped him $50. Weeks later Keanu Reeves walked into the restaurant with the same companion that Johnny’d been with, and THEY ordered two meals to go. “Keanu was polite but he kept to himself – he wasn’t as sociable as Johnny.” And the funny thing is, Keanu walked out without tipping AT ALL!
