The picture is classic! I love it when a-hole celebrities take trips to India or other eastern locales to convince themselves they are not a-hole celebrities. I remember a photo of Piven wearing a t shirt that said EAT CARBS while he was on his Indian journey of enlightenment. What an ass. Guess he gets a point for not wearing a shirt that says EAT MEAT. In any event, he comes off as a classic douche bag.

This is why I hate tipping in the United States.

I was at a Kanye West show in LA a year or so ago and Pivin was at the back entrance begging to get in to meet Kanye. He was denied.

Maybe they don't add gratuity for celebrities? Not all restaurants automatically add a service charge for large parties. I'm sure they will now though.

I saw this article a while back and also remembered that there were 12 people at the dinner. He probably is a jerk, however... Don't restaurants usually add the service charge (~18.5%) to the bill for parties that large? Maybe he left the DVD in addition to that?

I was thinking a DVD of a TV season isn't the worst tip in the world, given the prices for those things these days (Amazon lists it at $23). Demonstrates he's an egomaniac, of course. But the original article says the dinner was for 12 people. What an ass. Funny guy, particularly the band anecdote, but still an ass.
