Bon Jovi Disses The Jersey Shore on Independence Day for The Hamptons
While most celebs were either prancing around on the beaches of Malibu this Fourth of July weekend or hitting the nightclubs in the Hamptons, Jon Bon Jovi was doing something a little more low-key, eating Mexican Food in East Hampton at The Blue Parrot. We're shocked that this "hometown boy" from New Jersey wasn't spending time down at "the shore" but we'll forgive him that because apparently, he decided to give the place a little show.
"He just took a guitar off the wall and started playing," said one lucky eater. The New Jersey rock legend opened with "Who Says You Can't Go Home" before playing "Free Bird." Then, "He tried to get back to his table, but everyone was screaming for him to play one more song," laughs our source. He obliged them with "Dead or Alive."
Man, we wish all celebrities would do this when they dine at restaurants. Except you know, Paris Hilton.

Hamptons Restaurants: Matto
If you're headed to the East End for an upcoming weekend, forgo the cheesy nightclubs and instead have dinner at Matto, the perfect stop after a day at The Beach.
Matto's dining room features white-fabric draped ceilings, soft candlelight, and a decidedly chic-but-beachy feel. The menu includes "Angry Shrimp" that are perfectly spiced with roasted garlic and scallions, as well as thin crust pizzas, fresh housemade pastas, and traditional meats and fish. Drink wine by the glass or the bottle and stare at the local--and visiting--beautiful people. Something about being at Matto refreshingly makes you feel like one too.
