STREISAND WATCHES HER PENNIES

Barbra Streisand dined at Arnie Morton's in BevHills with hubby James Brolin, and when the $180 bill came, the diva whipped out a crumpled, 1-year-old $100 discount coupon — then took a calculator from her purse and figured a 15 percent tip only on the $80 she had to cough up! That's right, folks — Ms. MultiMillionaire left a lousy $12 tip for the poor schleps who waited on her!

She should not eat at places like that if she can't afford the tip.

Of course she is a lot more generous with OPM.

Love your keywords! Streisand is stiffing the working stiffs just as Hitlery and Bent do so often. They're all noclass!

Strange that hubby Brolin didn't pick up the tab, or has he been reduced to lapdog pet poodle status?

I think the most amusing part is that the half-wit actually had to use a calculator to figure out 15%.

That she needed a calculator speaks volumes too. What a silly old lady she is becoming...

I'm surprised she didn't call Peter Jennings to have him tell her what the tip should be.

Much as I'd love to believe it's true, I don't trust anything from the National Inquirer.

Really, she needed a calulator ? She could have made it easy on herself and just rounded up to 20%. Do as I say, not as I do.

I always double bill and move the decimil so my tip would have been $36.

Since her spelling is atrocious I would bet her math skills aren't up to speed either.

It's shades of Hillary, stiffing the waitress in New York.

They never practice what they preach.

Mike Myers needs to do a movie about Babs, those SNL skits where he played the Jewish woman who was in love with Bawbwa were classics.

I'm totally va-klempt over Bawbwa !

That's what I do John. I don't doubt for a minute this story is true.

My2Cents--Babs' ego would not allow that. She would prefer to make an ass of herself on her own. ;^)
