As viewers of the MTV hit “Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica” know, Jessica Simpson loves to spend money. But a recent incident shows that her hubby Nick Lachey is — well, thrifty!
When the couple had a two-hour lunch at posh restaurant The Ivy in Los Angeles, “they ordered everything under the sun — appetizers, seafood salads, steak, dessert and a couple of bottles of champagne,” said a source.
“They had the entire wait staff catering to their every need. And the bill came to $1,100!
“When it came time to pay, Jessica went to put down what she thought to be a tip worthy of the bill.
“But Nick flipped and told her, ‘That’s too much! We have to cut corners somewhere.’
“And he left a $14 tip.
“The waiters and manager couldn’t believe they left such a small tip!”
