You’d think with all their money, celebrities would be good tippers. This isn’t always the case. Certain celebrities are notoriously bad tippers. Check it out:

1. Madonna - Doesn’t always leave a tip, when she does it’s a cheap one.

2. Kelly Presten – Notoriously bad tipper. Most of the time she doesn’t leave a tip at all.

3. Gwyneth Paltrow – Doesn’t leave a decent tip. It’s speculated she has trouble calculating the proper percentage.

4. Barbra Streisand – Doesn’t always tip. When she does it’s $10 for a bill of over $450. She’s very high maintenance and demanding and no one ever wants to wait on her.

5. Tobey Maguire – Doesn’t always leave a tip, and when he does it isn’t generous.

6. Bill Cosby – Once left a $3 tip on a $350 order. He probably thinks the waitstaff needs to stop taking from others and get a real job.

7. Ricki Lake – Once left a tip of $8.00 on a $142.44 bill. This after she let her young son run around the restaurant unattended – and he supposedly made a big mess.

8. Bobby Brown – Rude to wait staff, lets his kids run amuk and left a $10 gratuity on a $250 restaurant tab.

9. Sean Penn - He and three others had New Orleans waiters waiting on them hand and foot. The tip left on a $450 tab? Absolutely nothing. There are lots of instances of Sean Penn stiffing waitstaff. How many people do you think have spit in his food by now?

10. Kirsten Dunst – According to one server she’s whiny and smells bad. Left nothing behind after racking up a $223 bill.

11. Dan Marino – Wouldn’t talk to server directly, had to have a member of his entourage handle it. Tipped $10 on $210.

12. David Lee Roth – Is known to be demanding and send food back. Tips 10%.

13. Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman – He and his wife are considered to be very high maintenance. They expect the VIP treatment and only tip %5. At a TGI Fridays in Waikiki they paid $10 for a $250 tab.

14. Rupert Everett – Listed as one of the worst tippers ever.

15. David Byrne – The Talking Heads frontman is considered one of the worst tippers ever because he doesn’t leave anything, ever.

16. Molly Ringwald – Bar tab was the equivalent of twenty-five cents for each round of drinks her large entourage consumed.

17. Diddy – Left a $40 tip for his meal – a dinner for 15 people.

18. Richard Dreyfuss – Bad tipper and high maintenance “whiny” client.

19. Michael Moore – Once left less than $20 on a bill totally $452.52.

20. Jesse Jackson – Left $20 on a $228 tab.

21. John Kerry – Left $20 on a tab of over $700!

22. Britney Spears – Once tipped a valet by dropping change on the ground and telling him “there’s your tip”. Also paid a $26 tip on a $500 tab.

23. Tiger Woods – Doesn’t tip because he says he doesn’t carry cash.

24. Usher - Never tips and always tries to get someone else to pick up the bill.

25. Rachel Ray – Tipped $1 on a $10 tab. Probably didn’t want to go under her $40 a day allowance.

26. Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes – Dined together in an upscale restaurant and didn’t leave a tip.

27. Tom Green – Once left $15 on a $175 tab.

28. Paul McCartney – Once left a restaurant too drunk to leave a tip.

29. Regis – Once left cruise staff a $60 tip for an entire week’s worth of personal service. His wife is said to be very high maintenance and the ship’s crew was happy when she left two days early.

30. Marty Stuart – Leaves 7% – his wife is very demanding.

31. Don Henley – Very demanding, keeps staff members on their toes, tips 15%.

32. D’Angelo – Once left $7.00 on a $250 tab. The tab should have been over $500, mind you, but the r&b singer and his entourage nagged until they got a discount .

33. Mariah Carey – Once had her people call ahead to a restaurant to let them know she was arriving with a very large party. The restaurant stayed open late, and Mariah and crew were very diva-ish with their demands. Despite keeping staffers jumping and a high tab, no one left a tip.

34. Marion Jones – Left $3 on a $45 tab.

Liberals also donate to cherity the least if at all.

Obama and his wife gave less then 1% of their income to charity.THESE are the people who tell us to sacrifice.Wearing 500 dollar sneakers to a food bank pretty much sums up how out of touch they are.

careful guys.


that kind of 'you're an evil shitty liberal' talk didn't work so well for you in 2008 election.

maybe try something less hateful in 2012 and you can win an election, eh?

[Soul Crusher]

Wwwhhaaa. People cant even remember what they ate for breakfast, they are going to remember a thread I posted in november 2009? 

[Grape Ape]

I refuse to believe Tiger Woods doesn't tip people because of the excuse listed above.  If it was known throughout the industry that waiting on Tiger results in no tip, he would have consumed a lot of waiters' boogers/piss/semen etc.. in his food by now.  Or his service would get worse and worse.  He'd get the picture.

I think most celebrities are dipshits, but a lot of stuff posted above is probably garbage, since we don't know the context of any of it, or if it's even remotely true.

Who knows, it was funny.  i remember my buddy worked as a waiter at a place called Crab shanty in Larchmont, NY ,which is a very wealthy area in Westchester, N.Y..  On a $500 bill, the people left nothing.  He chased them into the parking lot and got $50  out of them.  He was fired for it, but he was cool with it.

Conservatives More Liberal Givers
By George Will

WASHINGTON -- Residents of Austin, Texas, home of the state's government and flagship university, have very refined social consciences, if they do say so themselves, and they do say so, speaking via bumper stickers. Don R. Willett, a justice of the state Supreme Court, has commuted behind bumpers proclaiming "Better a Bleeding Heart Than None at All," "Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Beauty," "The Moral High Ground Is Built on Compassion," "Arms Are For Hugging," "Will Work (When the Jobs Come Back From India)," "Jesus Is a Liberal," "God Wants Spiritual Fruits, Not Religious Nuts," "The Road to Hell Is Paved With Republicans," "Republicans Are People Too -- Mean, Selfish, Greedy People" and so on. But Willett thinks Austin subverts a stereotype: "The belief that liberals care more about the poor may scratch a partisan or ideological itch, but the facts are hostile witnesses."

Sixteen months ago, Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University, published "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism." The surprise is that liberals are markedly less charitable than conservatives.

 If many conservatives are liberals who have been mugged by reality, Brooks, a registered independent, is, as a reviewer of his book said, a social scientist who has been mugged by data. They include these findings:

-- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

-- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.

-- Residents of the states that voted for John Kerry in 2004 gave smaller percentages of their incomes to charity than did residents of states that voted for George Bush.

-- Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average.

-- In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent.

-- People who reject the idea that "government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality" give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition.

Brooks demonstrates a correlation between charitable behavior and "the values that lie beneath" liberal and conservative labels. Two influences on charitable behavior are religion and attitudes about the proper role of government.

The single biggest predictor of someone's altruism, Willett says, is religion. It increasingly correlates with conservative political affiliations because, as Brooks' book says, "the percentage of self-described Democrats who say they have 'no religion' has more than quadrupled since the early 1970s." America is largely divided between religious givers and secular nongivers, and the former are disproportionately conservative. One demonstration that religion is a strong determinant of charitable behavior is that the least charitable cohort is a relatively small one -- secular conservatives.

Reviewing Brooks' book in the Texas Review of Law & Politics, Justice Willett notes that Austin -- it voted 56 percent for Kerry while he was getting just 38 percent statewide -- is ranked by The Chronicle of Philanthropy as 48th out of America's 50 largest cities in per capita charitable giving. Brooks' data about disparities between liberals' and conservatives' charitable giving fit these facts: Democrats represent a majority of the wealthiest congressional districts, and half of America's richest households live in states where both senators are Democrats.

While conservatives tend to regard giving as a personal rather than governmental responsibility, some liberals consider private charity a retrograde phenomenon -- a poor palliative for an inadequate welfare state, and a distraction from achieving adequacy by force, by increasing taxes. Ralph Nader, running for president in 2000, said: "A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity." Brooks, however, warns: "If support for a policy that does not exist ... substitutes for private charity, the needy are left worse off than before. It is one of the bitterest ironies of liberal politics today that political opinions are apparently taking the place of help for others."

In 2000, brows were furrowed in perplexity because Vice President Al Gore's charitable contributions, as a percentage of his income, were below the national average: He gave 0.2 percent of his family income, one-seventh of the average for donating households. But Gore "gave at the office." By using public office to give other peoples' money to government programs, he was being charitable, as liberals increasingly, and conveniently, understand that word.

Hysterical Mal:

No one wants to discuss economics, health care, or crap & tax, so why not bring it down tot he level that most apparently want things to float at? 

[shootfighter1]

I haven't heard anything about liberals vs conservatives as far as tipping but it's pretty well known that a disporportional # of blacks are short on tipping, have heard that from many people in the resturant biz over the yrs.  Generalizations never hold true for all...but definitely a trend.

I wasnt going to go there, but my buddy who I references was serving a church outing from Mt. Vernon if you follow me. 

[shootfighter1]

I don't mind saying it because it's pretty well known... and I am confident that I am not a racist person.  We can make generalizations based upon widespread observations, done all the time...the problem is when people don't realize there are many exceptions to the generalization and don't keep an open mind.

In my experience, this is true. Hate to say it and sound racist, but it is definitely true in my experience.

Everyone who waits tables knows this.

[loco]

Most conservatives I know donate no less than 10% of their gross income to charity.  Some of them donate 30% to 45%.  How do you think organizations such as The Salvation Army, Compassion International, Habitat for Humanity, Score International, etc. stay afloat and are able to help so many people in need for so many years?

[shootfighter1]

The more people are taxed, the less they will give to charity.  This administration suggested limiting (or perhaps did limit) tax deductions for charitable contributions.  WTF?!?!

[loco]

Seems to me from what I'm reading that they have a problem with people freely giving out of their own good will and prefer to force everybody through taxing to give hand outs to the poor.  All the while they themselves give very little to charity and avoid paying taxes anyway they can.

"True 240....but most people learn from their mistakes and start to listen to listen to the one who kept saying "We told you so"!"

joe, more than anything, i want the GOP to run a NON-VENEMOUS candidate in 2008.

The reason mccain won the nomination over Rudy/mitt (who were so far ahead) is that they screamed "LIB!" at each other for a month.  That venom energized 15% of voters, but alientates 30% of them.... notice mccain STOPPED that tlak in the general election.

LOl... goodness no, 33.

But that kind of attack dog venom doesnt play well.  Reagan did well because he wasn't hateful.  Bush wasn't hateful.

I'm sorry if you disagree, but Palin, Romney and Rudy were all very alienating with their demeanors in 2008.  Pointing fingers, screaming about Lib this, and socialist that... works great for the base, but normal people want a positive leader.

GOP, please, put up a POSITIVE leader in 2012

Huck - DOA
Romney -  tanking due to his health care fiasco.
RP - too old
Pawlenty -  Possibbly
Thune - Pretty good. 
Rudy - no go.
Jindle - too wimpy.  a nerdier version of obama.
Sarah - star power, but polarizing.  Has most potential of the group.
Bloomberg- too liberal
Newt - old hat.
Pence - great but does not have the "it".
Haley Barbour - I like him

Am I missing someone?
