New Book Lists Worst Celebrity Tippers
From LoveToKnow Celebrity
Who would have thought that some of Hollywood's most influential A-List members can't afford to reasonably tip servers in restaurants? That's what former New York waitress and aspiring writer Katherine Taylor has penned in her new book, Rules for Saying Goodbye.
About This Book
Taylor, who is the self-portrayed heroine in this novel released in May 2007, lists who she feels are the worst celebrity tippers, including:
- Madonna
- Gwyneth Paltrow
- Tobey Maguire
- Rupert Everett
- Kelly Preston
- Barbra Streisand
- Parker Posey
Taylor worked as a bartender and waitress in New York City for several years, and claims her anecdotes about these celebrities are true, according to AHN.com. Her publisher, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, has confirmed the stories as well. An excerpt from her book, according to AHN, reads, "Gwyneth Paltrow came in. I wanted to tell her that I had been making a list and she was on it, but Gwyneth was not stingy, only stupid. I thought she probably couldn't calculate 15 percent."
So, Who is the Worst Celebrity Tipper?
Katherine Taylor now lives in Los Angeles, California, and is no longer a waitress or bartender. She says Madonna is "notorious" for not leaving a tip at all, but Talking Heads founder David Byrne tops her list of "Worst Celebrity Tippers" because he "never tipped in any of the three bars where I worked in New York," as reported by Celebrity Nation.
A Little Tipsy?
Taylor, who is now working on her second novel since her first book is being praised by critics, claims that former Beatle Paul McCartney was actually "too drunk to tip" one night when she was working.
