Charlie Sheen pledges tip where LeSean McCoy gave none

Charlie Sheen says he’ll give the burger server $1,000. Also, there’s trouble in Real Housewife-dom.

In 2014, you know you've made it when Charlie Sheen tweets about you. Temporary Tattle therefore gives you: Shady McTipper, part deux.

As Daily News gossip columnist Molly Eichel reported, lo, those many days ago - Tuesday - it seems that Eagles running back LeSean McCoy took buddies out for burgers at Northern Liberties' PYT Monday afternoon. They racked up a $61.56 bill, and McCoy himself apparently left server Rob Knelly a very lousy tip.

Twenty cents lousy.

PYT posted a photo of the receipt on Facebook, and the Internet went wilder than Birds fans in the second half last Sunday.

Apparently, the online ruckus attracted the attention of Sheen, son of Martin, brother of Emilio [Estevez], and self-appointed overseer of all that is depraved and debauched, right down to his creepy teeth. Feeling in a benevolent mood, Sheen took to Twitter to pledge $1,000 to the mostly uncompensated Philly server.

Pledged. We'll believe the sentiment when we see the check (and when that check doesn't bounce), Sheen. Also, this unusual act of generosity does not count as your child-support payments this month. We love to help a waiter out as much as the next guy, but, you know, priorities.

Tip for Sheen

If you have another few thousand lying around the house, you might wanna throw it toward the Philadelphia Ride for Kids.

As ever, People Paper lensguy Steve Falk's motorcycling along to support the incredibly good work of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Riders and supporters meet up around 9 a.m. Sunday and again around 11:30 at Valley Forge Christian College, first for the 40-mile ride, next, to get to know each other.

Real house hassles

This has been a while coming. Longer than we expected, actually.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars Teresa and Joe Guidice, anticipating their Oct. 2 sentencing on myriad fraud charges, have put their fabulicious Towaco home on the market. For $3.999 million dollars.

Why not round it up to $4 million? I'll tell you why. The Guidices are smarter than that. They know that a subtle $1,000 difference (noticing a theme here?) will fool your average McMansion shopper into falling for their opposite-of-humble abode - golden Cinderella staircases, gaudy chandeliers and all.

Could be worse. They could be Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks, Real House Husband and Wife of Atlanta. Nida was scheduled to begin his eight-year sentence for bank fraud at noon yesterday. (So, he cashed a few bad checks, laundered a couple of million - what's the big deal?)

Instead of showing up where he was supposed to, according to TMZ, he rushed to the couple's home, demanded Parks put money into his prison account and generally went berserk while cameras rolled.

Not surprisingly, wife, mortician and onetime Mr. Bobby Brown attorney Parks has, of late, been none too thrilled with the hubster. Earlier in the day, her rep had told Us Weekly that she'd been focusing on the couple's two sons - while going on book tour, naturally.

Although she married a guy who'd already done six years for auto-loan fraud, Parks is obviously no dumb belle. Glad she wasn't alone when he came home.
