  5. I'll go with Rod on this one. I've read numerous times that he's a tight wad. Wasn't he pretty stingy with his babymammas?

  10. I was going to say Bono but the "stingy" is a clue for sure and it's probably Sting.

    Lol, Sting getting grumpier in his old age. I kinda like the idea of him bailing out on his annoying friends. That's pretty rocking.

    It's Sting. He's a real ass at restaurants. A crap customer.

    BTW . . . Jimmy Page is the nicest EVER

  12. I'm betting it's "Sting" -- because Britspeak for what we call stingy is "mean", isn't it?

  13. Jimmy Page has always been known as "Led Wallet"; Robert Plant is pretty tight with a buck as well. Sting's massive ego makes me think this is him. I can't imagine Jimmy or Robert skipping out on a check, but I can certainly see Sting doing it.

  14. Jagger, Stewart and Bowie are well-known super cheapskates. Could be any of them.

  16. I am going with Elton John because he looks like he would "forget" to carry his purse around. And seriously wouldn't he look cuter with a purse?

    And isn't tipping rare in europe? I read that somewhere or on the Travel channel.

  17. clair...soooo true! I could *easily* picture Elton with a whole closetful of purses. Watch, Hermes will come out with the "Elton John Bolide" soon. Limited Edition.

    I do think it's Sting. I've heard he doesn't tip even at strip clubs. Just sits and watches and waits for free offers.
