Gossip Caper

Apparently the recession is even hitting well-paid television stars... A few cast-mates from Gossip Girl hit a bar after a recent Kings of Leon show in NYC. They felt pretty cozy, staying until about 2 A.M., but then walked on without paying the bill! Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr and Leighton Meester bailed on a $500 tab, leaving the bar (and surely a frustrated service-person) in a lurch. What happened to "going dutch" - splitting the tab four ways surely wouldn't have hurt too bad with those salaries. Maybe they thought they were getting comped or got confused on thought they were on the set? Yes, you're all fab but I think most places still expect you to pay for drinks when not making a public appearance!
