Vegetarian Star

We already know the kinds of stuff going into Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding guests (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) give her points for a green ceremony foodwise. But what about the facilities taking care of things going out?

True, it’s not the most pleasant thought to have, but UK Express is reporting the couple and family has rented several portable “loos” complete with hot water and stereo music. Hopefully, no one will be on the loo so long they can listen to one of those really long songs like American Pie or Purple Rain in its entirety.

According to a press release from the Association for Dressings and Sauces (yes, it actually exist), 95% of Americans eat salad at least three times a week and people who eat salads regularly are perceived as “healthier, happier and sexier” (must be the phallic shaped asparagus or libido enhancing celery ).

To help kick off the celebration, we bring you Mark Bittman‘s collection of 101 Simple Salads for the Season. The flexitarian food writer who coined the phrase “vegan until 6,” has devoted an entire section to vegetarian and mostly vegan, although many salads not included in the category do not contain meat or cheese.

Pamela Anderson has called Janet Jackson “greedy” for agreeing to be the cover girl for Blackglama’s ad campaign, “What Becomes A Legend Most?”

Anderson told OUT magazine, “It’s disappointing. She has spoken out against fur before. I don’t know why some people stop listening to their heart. I guess some people get greedy, but it’s sad.”

Jackson is keeping mum about the criticism and instead using every opportunity to insert (more than likely highly scripted) positive words about the company that’s paying her to do so.
