Yesterday when you saw Amanda Beard on our website, she was wearing a little less clothing to protest the use of fur. However, some are saying she suspiciously has done a 180 turnaround since 2007 and may be a hypocrite.

In 2007, Beard told Meghan Cleary on her blog at missmeghan.com that’d she’d go to the grave in her favorite pair of…gasp…leather sandals.

“I wear them on the pool deck, at the beach, and even sneak them into my wardrobe for dinners,” Beard said.

She is also reported to have told SmartMoney Magazine in September of that same year that she’d never settle for buying a low-quality leather jacket.

She says she’d rather go naked than wear fur, but maybe skin is okay for her??!!

PETA has been known to sever ties with celebrities who flip-flop (pun intended) on their stance of vegness and animals rights, including breaking their relationship with model Cindy Crawford when she sported a fur coat on a catwalk after making an anti-fur ad.

But PETA also has a forgiving and understanding side.

“Making the transition to a vegan lifestyle is a gradual process,” PETA spokesman Michael McGraw said. “We’re happy to work with celebrities on even the most introductory levels.”

No word on how or if they’ll be working with their latest nude anti-fur spokesmodel.

Comments Off on K.D. Lang Likes Tart Of Mushroom At Edinburgh’s David Bann

Sarah Mair and Hugh Blair are two bloggers documenting their travel experiences at Tale Of Two Burghs. It was a visit to Edinburgh, where there is a restaurant called David Bann, where the waiter gave the dish on K.D. Lang’s favorite meal there:

“Damien asked the server what she recommended and she told us that her favorite– and k.d. Lang’s apparently— was tart of mushroom, spinach and Criffell cheese: wild and cultivated mushrooms cooked with wine, garlic and tarragon blended with fresh spinach and Criffel, a semi soft cheese from Dumfries, baked on homemade puff pastry. Served with baby potatoes, carrots and onion gravy. It did not disappoint.”

Lang once made headlines with her, “Meat Stinks,” commercials, which angered some members of the beef farming community. We’re not trying to offend, but how else should we put this? Meat stinks… angers…they say truth does hurt.

Lang’s latest album, Watershed, was released in February of this year and is the first original material she’s produced since 2000.
