Never let it be said that Kid Rock is not a gentleman. Sure he may randomly attack you at an awards show, and he and his crew may beat you up at 5 a.m. at a waffle house, but if you return expensive stuff to him, he will take care of you handsomely. Kid Rock was eating at Justin Timberlake’s Upper East Side restaurant Southern Hospitality the other day when a busboy spotted a watch on the floor. He returned it to Kid Rock, and what ensued is the stuff service worker legends are made of.

Looking out for Kid Rock sure is rewarding. When a busboy at Southern Hospitality found a $200,000 watch on the floor and returned it to Kid, the rocker gave him $1,000 cash. “The watch wasn’t even his; it belonged to one of Kid’s friends,” said our source. Rock was also throwing cash at members of his raucous crew. “He was daring his friends to drink bottles of tabasco and barbecue sauce. Two of his friends won $500 each” for stepping up to the challenge, said our source.

Alright, new life plan: quit job and follow Kid Rock and his entourage around wherever they go. Hand them back whatever random crap they drop on the ground. Reap insane rewards.

I always enjoy stories of celebrities being exceptionally cool to the rest of us “little people.” Especially when it’s people like Kid Rock, who is generally known for his excessive rowdiness/debauchery/quasi-douchebaggery. In other Kid Rock-related news, his arraignment for October’s waffle house battery incident has been postponed to February 4th. It also appears he may get out of the charges completely, pending a review of the evidence. Kid Rock also escaped charges in the beating up Tommy Lee at the VMA’s incident. I’m going to assume that none of this legal luck was influenced by $1000 bills. But it could likely have something to do with tabasco drinking competitions.
