Pamela Anderson Attends Sapphire Strip Club Opening, Even Though It's "Not For Vegans"

The crowd at the opening party for gentleman's club Sapphire the other night was predictable enough -- lots of cleavage, Pamela Anderson, guys who looked like investment bankers, guys who looked like they were on the Sopranos, and guys who were actually on the Sopranos (specifically Bobby Baccalieri and Vincent Pastore).

But there were also some surprises. Samantha Ronson, the DJ and Lindsay Lohan's erstwhile playlist maker, was spinning crowd-pleasers mostly (Kanye, Cudi) as sexy dancers slinked about the stage, but she wasn't taking requests or questions. For instance, we know you broke up, what the heck are you doing here? "$14,000" suggested another woman with a boyish haircut. (Some sources said it was higher.) And then there was Scott Adsit, 30 Rock's straight man producer Pete Hornberger, who was not paid to show up -- "not tonight," he quipped. He doesn't do lap dances either. but not necessarily because he takes after his stripper-fearing character. "Lap dances are boring in New York," said the comedian, looking askance at the debauchery around him. But where are they not boring? "Florida, Atlanta, L.A.," he said, remembering his days on tour with the Second City comedy troupe. "Here they don't actually touch you."

Meanwhile, Anderson, who was holed up in the VIP area for the entire time, looked like the least likely guest: she's a vegan and the club was, after all, billing itself as a steakhouse. ("She's a professional," said Adsit, who said he worked with Anderson on "a project.") "We have steamed vegetables and stuff like that," co-owner Peter Feinstein offered, just as non-vegan Shannen Doherty pulled up in an SUV. "But most guys who come into a strip club want a steak and a baked potato. It's really not for vegans."
