Supermarket Claims Burton Can't Read His Bills

Posted Aug 9th 2009 8:14AM by TMZ Staff

Levar BurtonA fancy grocery store in Los Angeles took a look at their books ... and realized LeVar Burton owed them a bunch of money.

According to a lawsuit filed last month, the "Reading Rainbow" host owes Gelson's a little over $2,000 -- plus attorney's fees.

Burton's had an account with them since 1990, but Gelson's claims he hasn't paid his bill since December 2008.

1. An credit account for a supermarket? If you don't have money to buy your groceries there you need to shop somewhere else.

9. Michael Jackson didn't pay his bills either, according to reports. He was allegedly known for stiffing people. Now, he's the stiff.

10. Nothing nice about Levar. He is a Hollywood phony just like the rest of them. If you think his nice guy image isn't cultivated you are an idiot.
