Kelis was a recent target of the animal rights group, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for wearing fur and the singer is taking on a Kid Rock attitude in her reply.

Kelis is proudly standing by her liking of fur, meat and more.

A few bits from the blog:

“There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It’s unfortunate but it’s part of life. With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious.”

She even takes a strike at PETA’s president, Ingrid Newkirk:

“I found out that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane! Lol this chicks will is nuts, google it – it’s a riot!”

Kelis doesn’t think faux fur will feel the same as the real dead animal:

“I feel very strongly about a lot of things such as the sweatshops that spin cotton and the blood on their hands. Btw it’s not just the look of fur. It’s warm as hell and feels glorious, ever rubbed faux fur on your body? Nothing luxurious about that. Then the letter proceeded to name artist and designers who don’t wear real fur. Great! More for me! I don’t judge them, don’t judge me.”

Has this chick even tried wearing a fake before (not counting the dozens of weaves on her head)?

Paul McCartney Nancy Shevell Getting Married

Stella McCartney - Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010

Rumor has it that Paul McCartney will tie the knot with his girlfriend of almost three years, Nancy Shevell.

According to SF Gate, a source told Britain’s Daily Express, “Paul and Nancy’s relationship is rock solid and there’s no mad hurry for a wedding. Next year has certainly been mentioned as the most likely time, but neither of them want some big hoo-ha (fuss). It’s almost certainly going to be done very discreetly over in the U.S. and Paul would ideally like to do it without any publicity beforehand. Whether he could pull that off is another matter.”

There’s no rush for a wedding?

Maybe Paul’s waiting for Nancy to give up the pork chops completely before putting a ring on it.

Since dating the former Beatle, Nancy has been spotted dining on vegetarian food.

And some sources stated she even changed her political views and started buying more cruelty-free fashion since dating Paul.

George Shinn, owner of the New Orleans Hornets, is recovering from surgery after having a cancerous prostate gland removed, according to Nola.

“Following (Wednesday’s) successful surgery to completely remove the cancer, Mr. Shinn will begin the process to a full and speedy recovery and is anxious to return to the Hive to watch his team play and enjoy the recent success the team is experiencing, ” Hornets team spokesman Harold Kaufman said in a statement.

After being diagnosed, Shinn changed his lifestyle dramatically by going vegetarian and losing 32 pounds.

Will Shinn’s change of diet prevent another cancer in the future?

Some believe so.

Dr Naomi Allen, an epidemiologist at Oxford University and co-author of a study examining cancer rates of vegetarian and those that ate meat, said: “This is strong evidence that vegetarians have lower rates of cancer than meat eaters.

Shinn’s doctor, Dr. Patrick Walsh of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute said the surgery team removed 100% of the cancer and Shinn is expected to make a full recovery.
