Meanwhile, Madonna, Tobey Maguire, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rupert Everett have been named
in a book exposing lousy celebrity tippers.
New York waitress Katherine Taylor has written a novel, 'Rules for Saying
Goodbye', in which her heroine - also called Katherine Taylor - lists the
worst tippers.
Taylor confirmed through her publisher, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, that she
has worked as a West Village bartender and promised all the celebrity
anecdotes in her book are true.
One extract 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 per cent."
Everett and Madonna are named for leaving no tip, while Maguire, Barbra
Streisand and John Travolta's wife Kelly Preston are listed as giving very
small tips.
Another anecdote from the book claims "Paul McCartney was once too drunk to
tip".
