Save Your "Brass In Pocket" For Pretenders Restaurant

From Planet Hollywood to Britney Spears' short-lived club/eatery NYLA, restaurants opened by celebrities are hardly exempt from the same pressures that cause most new establishments to go under. Let's hope The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde has some savvy partners or advisers to stand by her when she opens VegeTerranean, a new health-food joint in her home city of Akron, Ohio.

Hynde's meatless kitchen will open September 15, according to the reports, which promises a concert by the owner herself. In response to the increased competition, Robert DeNiro will pick one lucky table every night at the eatery he co-owns, New York's Tribeca Grill, to be the lucky receiver of a Travis Bickle-style interrogation.
