Big tipper Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp left a £750 tip after enjoying dinner in a US restaurant.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star was filming his latest movie 'Public Enemies' in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, when he left the staggering gratuity after dining with friends.

A source said: "Johnny had a big dinner with his friends at one of the local restaurants. When the bill came to $2,600, he decided to leave a $1,500 tip to show how much he had enjoyed himself."

Johnny - who was staying in a hotel in nearby town Appleton - stars as John Dillinger in the Michael Mann period drama about the US government's attempts to stop some of the most famous criminals in the Depression of 1933.

Not all celebrities are as generous as father-of-two Johnny when it comes to tipping waiting staff.

Last year, Madonna, Tobey Maguire, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rupert Everett were named in a book exposing lousy celebrity tippers by former New York waitress Katherine Taylor.

In 'Rules for Saying Goodbye', Katherine writes: "Gwyneth Paltrow came in. I wanted to tell her that I had been making a list and she was on it, but Gwyneth was not stingy, only stupid. I thought she probably couldn't calculate 15 per cent."

Keith Richards Still Carries Illegal Knife For Self Defence

Keith Richards Still Carries Illegal Knife For Self Defence....

Rolling Stones star Keith Richards breaks the law by carrying a deadly knife everywhere he goes - as a means of self defence.

The 64-year-old guitarist has long been known to own a ratchet knife with a six-inch blade, and he still carries it tucked in his trousers.

Richards admits his knife has been a constant companion after he learnt how to use it on a trip to Jamaica.

He tells Blender magazine, "The actual cut doesn't hurt. All the blood comes down, and then you kick the f**ker in the balls. It's a very efficient way of dealing with problems.

"I learned it in Jamaica. I've always carried one".

Richards doesn't reveal any incidents in which he has used the knife - but by just carrying it in his native Britain he is breaking strict knife laws that prohibit blades longer than three inches from being carried in public.

The star was previously arrested for carrying the blade in the U.S. in 1975 when Arkansas traffic cops pulled over Richards and bandmate Ronnie Wood, and discovered the concealed weapon. The knife charges were later dropped.

Paris Hilton Denies Madden Wedding Plans

Socialite Paris Hilton is having an "amazing time" dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, but insists the couple won't be marrying anytime soon.

Hilton's on/off best friend Nicole Richie is reportedly set to wed Madden's twin brother Joel this summer (08), after the birth of their daughter Harlow in January (08).

And since the hotel heiress has been romantically involved with Benji, the couple has been dogged by rumours they are to follow suit and tie the knot.

She tells People.com, "No! We're really happy right now. He's definitely different than any guy I've ever been with. He makes me feel really happy, comfortable and really in love.

"We totally trust each other and we're in love and we have an amazing time together".

Amy Winehouse's Brawl With Taxi Driver

Amy Winehouse fought with a taxi driver outside her London home on Tuesday (22Apr08) - after trying to exit the cab without paying the fare.

The Rehab singer took a cab home from a night out in Camden, North London, but when she arrived at her house, she realised she had forgotten her cash, keys - and was locked out.

The 24-year-old left the driver waiting for his money while she attempted to break into her house through the garage.

After 20 minutes, the frustrated taxi driver approached the star to ask for his $80 (£40) fare.

But Winehouse allegedly lashed out at the man, hurling a string of obscenities at him and attempting to strike him in front of the gathered paparazzi.

She eventually gave the driver a $40 (£20) note and he left. Waiting photographers, having witnessed the entire scene, pooled together and covered the rest of the bill.
