RUSSELL SIMMONS KEEPS IT REAL

So Russell Simmons is crazy. Page Six reports:

Before Russell Simmons spoke at the Ad Club lunch at the Metropolitan Club honoring Bobby Shriver, he asked if it would be all right to use his usual term of endearment with the Kennedy cousin, "my [N-word]!" When told no, Simmons said, "You're right. There are too many white people in this room." Shriver, whose Project Red raised $45 million to fight disease in Africa, was also "roasted" by his brother-in-law Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (with Maria Shriver) and others. But Simmons got the biggest laugh recalling how he asked Shriver one morning what he was doing. Shriver replied, "I'm working for the poor people. What the [bleep] are you doing?"
