10 Celebs Restaurants Fear

Please don't take your shoes off, smear food on yourself

(Newser) – Ever wonder how that celeb behaves at the corner table you got muscled out of? The Frisky lists misbehaving A-listers who have been kicked to the D-list by restaurants:

  • Jeremy Piven: Left an Entourage DVD for a tip at an Aspen sushi joint, along with a snide "Thanks for nothing" as he departed.

  • Keanu Reeves: Slid off his shoes at a high-end Vancouver restaurant—and stunk his fellow diners out.
  • Usher: One alleged tip: his autograph.
  • Madonna: Once left an $18 tip on a $400 tab—our math skills tell us that's not quite 20%.
For the rest of the list, click here.

Travolta is a pretty mellow and shy man ... most REAL STARS I have met are pretty shy off camera/stage. That said, he likes food and a Chefs could LEARN from his taste. Madonna/Ritchie must have thought the tip was included in a 400 dollar tab (which is pretty common). Madonna and Ritchie each have ISSUES but being cheap isnt one of them. Usher probably got so tired of the waiter GUSHING all over him that he felt he HAD BEEN WORKING ... waiters need to respect that Celebs are a customer and are not working ... take their order, serve them and be kind and give them the check ... but some waiters HOVER and that is ANNOYING. Sounds like the waiter SHOULD have PAID Usher. Brit, Brit ... that was probably during her pre-rehab too many drugs and booze days ... Ive seen her when she isnt being mobbed and she is pretty quiet now. Keanau ... the guy has HYGIENE ISSUES ... Passed him on a street ... homeless drunk bums smell fresher ... He should be cited for AIR POLLUTION ... Some think hes gay because he doesnt have a girlfriend ... He doesnt HAVE ANYONE because he STINKS. Someone needs to teach him to take a shower or bath at least once a MONTH. As for the wannabe stars (E-List) PISS ANT Priven is just that ... Its time to pull his plug and send the talentless JERK away. He is a serial harasser and I would PAY a woman to kick him in the balls in front of a TMZ Camera and yell at him for his misbehavior. TOTAL JERK. Westwick is young and if he doesnt quit this "its all about me crap" hes going to be the next Corey Haim or Lindsay Lohan etc. He will flame out.

Quentin Tarantino is the worst. He rarely tips, walks on tabs, and is flagrantly sexist to waitresses.
I've also heard that Matthew McConaughey has severe body order issues.

The comment Piven made on the way out makes me think he got crummy service.
