Chris Tucker's saving grace

WalletPop chased "Rush Hour" star Chris Tucker from our shared flight to the Cannes Film Festival this week to baggage claim, wanting to know: What's the best financial advice you ever got?

"Save your money, man, just save your money," Tucker replied.

Tucker appeared to be practicing what he preached in the short time I observed him. He flew in the cheap seats with the rest of us on a shuttle from Paris to Nice. No entourage. No obvious bling that his blabbermouth alter-ego might admire in "Rush Hour," the buddy-cop trilogy with Jackie Chan that has cleared more than $500 million at the U.S. box offce.
