Salim Stoudamire won’t eat anything with a momma and is just beginning his career after signing a multi year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks . John Salley is already a legend and spends his free time donating veggie burgers to kids. So between the two, who would you rather do…

Pamela Anderson, usually one of the best true to their word veg Hollywood stars, occasionally has her flip ups.

Like when she didn’t know KFC, a company she frequently speaks out against, helped sponsor her Girl On the Loose show in Australia.

Or launching a strip club in a steakhouse.

Yes, the vegan Pamela Anderson has joined forces with Audrina Patridge and Samantha Ronson to launch the opening of  Sapphire New York, a Gentleman’s club, which is part of the Prime 333 Steakhouse on the upper East side of New York city.

Other guests on the attendee list include Sopranos cast members Vincent Curatola and Steve Schirripa. 

A strip club steakhouse? Really, Pamela, couldn’t you have found a better venue to attend a launch? How about an all natural juice strip club? Tutti fruity for booty?

Along with serving up blond and brunette meat (just had to say that), the club will feature several fillets and wines.

The late ex Beatle and vegetarian George Harrison has finally received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Although The Beatles share a star, only Harrison and John Lennon of the group have their own.

After the ceremony, several friends and family including Harrison’s widow and son, Olivia and Dhani, Ed Begley Jr., Paul McCartney and girlfriend Nancy Shevell, enjoyed a vegan meal in Capital Records’ Studio A.

Harrison was once quoted as saying, “The thing that repelled me about eating meat was the idea of killing animals. But the main issue is that it’s not healthy and not natural.”

Ex vegetarian turned Hardee’s burger food porn star Padma Laskshmi recently discussed her earliest food memories of New York.

Apparently even when she was vegetarian, the Top Chef host wasn’t doing food right. Hot dog bun with relish anyone?

“Looking back, I’m amazed how much we ate street food. My perfect meal would be a pretzel with mustard and then an Italian ice. I was a vegetarian for a lot of my childhood, so I would order a hot dog but tell him to leave the hot dog out—just the bun and the fixings, like sauerkraut and mustard and relish.”

Um, a trip to the falafel cart for some high protein chickpeas stuffed in pita bread would have made for a more nutritious vegetarian meal. This is even worse than the vegetarians who just start eating cheese all day.

So now we know. Poor Padma just never learned what good vegetarian food was.

Even insects on hot dog bun sound more appetizing.

Vegetarian Times hosted their 2009 Dining Out Awards and nearly 700 readers voted for restaurants based in different regions of the U.S and several specialty veg restaurants like Most Eco-Fabulous and Totally RAWsome.

Chrissie Hynde’s Vegiterranean won “Most Promising Rookie.”

Several other restaurants made the cut, including The Chicago Diner for the midwest. If you recall, the diner is where Ellen DeGeneres went gaga over the vegan seitan hot wings and had some Fed Ex’d to her studios in California.

Peter Max’s fave, Candle 79, won the category for the northeast.

To find out what veg restaurants in your part of the country you should be visiting, pick up a copy of the April issue of Vegetarian Times.

John Salley’s a busy man these days. This week he’s giving away veggie burgers to Chicago school children as part of a campaign to teach them how a vegetarian diet receives the best grade.

He also recently sat down with ESPN to answer questions submitted by fans.

John got several questions related to his vegetarian diet and lifestyle, including, “did guys ever mess with you knowing you didn’t eat meat?”

John answered, “No, no one ever really messes with me!”

Oh, yeah.

Here are a couple of other veg related questions from the chat.

What kind of work are you doing with PETA?
I did a PSA about a year ago with PETA since then they have invited me to speak about the health benefits of being a vegetarian.

How did you make the decision to go vegetarian?
I was a vegetarian first [before I became vegan]. I had high blood pressure at 27, everybody in my family died of cancer and I new it was in the food so I changed my diet.

Bob Barker invited TheInsider.com in his old dressing room on The Price Is Right when he returned to the show to promote his new book, Priceless Memories.

Bob and Drew Carey, the new host for The Price Is Right, started talking about diet and Drew wanted some veg tips to help him stick around longer.

“I did the show until I was 83. I don’t believe I could have done that had I not been a vegetarian,” Bob said.

“I became a vegetarian out of concern for animals. But very soon after I became a vegetarian, I could see why people do it out of concern for health because I had more energy and I felt better.”

Wanna know the best kiss Drew Carey ever got? It was from Bob, of course, after Drew told him he’d continue to advocate spaying and neutering pets on the show like Bob did. 

You can view the video at The Insider to hear Bob talk veggie and his passion for animals.
