Remember back in December '06 when Boston Celtic Paul Pierce got caught up after a groupie by the name Vaso charged $95,000 on his American Express card and he claimed he didn't know her, but his credit card receipts showed he'd purchased airline tickets for her in the past, proving he was lying? Back then I heard some chatter that he was totally in on it and that charges had been pressed against him but kept quiet. Anyway, today's Page Six wondered why Paul refused to put down a credit card to reserve a table at Meatpacking District club Tenjune last Thursday night. Club sources told Page Six that Pierce also refused to sign a contract for the table and insisted on paying $2,000 cash instead. They say Paul was over heard yelling at the club manager, "Do you know who I am, and how much money I make?" Didn't matter. Without plastic they wouldn't let Paul in so he had to find somewhere else to party.
