Hip Hop mogul Russell Simmons is an outspoken vegan who was once quoted as saying, “I don’t eat anything that runs away from me,” to describe his diet.

His name was dropped by a chef at “Nick and Toni’s” Restaurant in East Hampton, NY. The restaurant is celebrating its 20th birthday and Chef Joseph Realmuto spoke with the New York Times regarding sometimes difficult customers. “The celebrities are not the fussy ones,” Realmuto said. “It’s the others, who want to feel like celebrities, who are the fussy ones.”

The article then said that Realmuto does make “special vegan risotto for Simmons”.

Fussy? So that’s what they think of us when we demand a list of ingredients and what surfaces things are cooked on, and a million other questions about the orgins of “natural flavors.”

VegetarianStar thinks all vegs in NY and across the nation should go to Nick and Toni’s and every other restaurant and start acting like a celebrity.

Pamela Cuts Off Beak That Feeds Her

Pamela Anderson Press Conference

Pamela Anderson may have made a pact with the Colonel Sanders devil after all. She has been making headlines lately, both for calling Jessica Simpson a “wh*#e” for wearing a T-shirt sporting, “Real Girls Eat Meat,” and been involved in speaking out against the treatment of chickens by KFC.

However, it seems she is biting the hand, or shall we say, beak, that feeds her.

Her Big Brother Australia TV stint was apparently funded partially by KFC. She claims to have had no knowledge of the sponsor, but admitted it was big money and an offer that was hard to turn down.

“That’s a weird coincidence … I didn’t know KFC had anything to do with the show,” she said.

“Every show has a bunch of sponsors, it’s not something you would even look into when you’re offered a job.”

Could she have suffered a “blind spot,” thus being prevented her from “looking into” the sponsors after being offered such a large sum? Or did Pammy simply forget to do her homework? You decide.

Joss Stone, What’s In Your Shopping Cart?

Sure, stars are subject to being photographed in public and their trash rummaged through, but snooping in your grocery bags?

Actually it’s not snooping if they allow it and soul-singer Joss Stone did just that while medical doctor, John Briffa, commented on the nutritional value of each item.

“I’ve been a vegetarian all my life. I’ve cooked meat but it has never passed my lips. My mum and dad were vegetarian, and my brothers. I don’t know if I would have been if I wasn’t born into it. But we were never forced,” said Stone.

Some items on Miss Stone’s list included bean crepes, pita bread, Cadbury’s Flake, Quorn Vegetarian Chicken Patties, Peppermint Tea, Salad Sandwiches, and Lager.

“Alcohol does tend to dehydrate the body. However, Joss’ intake is moderate, and it seems she’s well aware of how to ensure fluid levels remain topped up,” Briffa commented.

“I don’t often drink alcohol while I’m touring, because it dries your voice out. After the show I might have one beer. And that’s only if I’ve got two days in between gigs,” said Stone.
