Fur is becoming so unpopular these days, why aren’t farmers and retailers taking the hint?

The People’s Court recently featured an episode where a judge ruled a consignment shop had to donate fur that wouldn’t sell to charity.

According to PETA’s blog, legal analyst for the show and celebrity gossip show TMZ host Harvey Levin said, “It’s just cruel. … The skin ought to stay on the animals.”

Now that’s some gossip worth passing on!

Kelis MTV Video About Fur Hat And Where To Get Your Fake One

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, May 15th, 2010 in Fashion, Female Singers, Fur, Videos.

Kelis sounds off on her PETA feud about that famous fur hat in this MTV video.

She says she thinks it was strange she got a letter from them, considering she’s worn “way more” fur than what she was wearing when the controversy ignited.

Kelis justifies her fashion choice with the fact the weather was “freezing” and she loves the hat.

Right.

Perfectly good excuses to buy something killed for the sake of vanity purposes.

Avoid the Kelis fur pas and opt for a faux fur hat instead.

Watch for Kelis’ excuses around minute 4:00.

Larry Birkhead, the partner of the late Anna Nicole Smith and father of their daughter, Dannielynn, is auctioning off Anna Nicole’s items to raise money for Dannielynn and Anna Nicole’s charity created to help underprivileged children, the Anna Nicole and Daniel Wayne Smith foundation.

One exception to the charity and Birkhead’s daughter is the dress worn by Anna Nicole for a PETA anti-fur ad, the proceeds of which will go to the animal rights organization, according to Reuters.

Anna Nicole starred in several ads for the organization, one which included the “Gentlemen Prefer Fur-Free Blondes,”  that cited an article from Marie Claire stating 8 out of 10 men are turned off by women wearing fur.

Kate Ford, star of Coronation Street, has posed nude in a PETA campaign to convince officials to use fake fur instead of real bear fur in the hats worn by the Queen’s guards.

“I would ask the Ministry of Defence to reconsider their choice to use real bear fur for the Guards’ caps,” Ford told PETA UK in an interview. “The use of the real fur is uncalled for, as the fake fur is luxurious and looks the same. For this reason, there is no need for bears to go through unimaginable suffering. I ask them to reconsider and choose the compassionate option.

Ford was named “Best Bitch” in British soap opera awards in 2004 and 2005 for her character’s disposition, but luckily for the bears and everyone else, she’s quite empathetic in real life, sharing her home with two elderly cats.

Kelis Ready For Round Two Fur Fight With PETA

Kelis Performs At Santos Party House

Kelis fired up the fur activists months ago when she replied to PETA’s criticism for wearing a fur hat.

Now she’s back and looking for more publicity she doesn’t deserve.

According to Contact Music, in an interview with NME, when asked if she was “trying to wind them up,” in her original response to them, the singer replied, “Well yeah! I mean, firstly, it’s just far too easy to p**s them off. I mean, give me a break. Get your panties out of a bunch, just relax. I mean seriously? I believe in live and let live, but I feel there are far more important issues with natural disasters and poverty and plague. I’m sorry if a mink is last on my list.”

According to Mercy For Animals, about 26 million mink are killed each year for their fur.

Mink fur farms keep the animals in cages so small, the resulting stress causes neurotic behavior, such as pacing back and forth and they often develop stomach ulcers and enlarged adrenal glands–another consequence of stress.

Kelis doesn’t care about this?

Ah, why are we still even talking about her?

Everybody knows it’s Pamela Anderson‘s vegan milkshake that brings all the boys the yard.

Green Day "American Idiot" Musical

Green Day "American Idiot" Musical

Who ever thought Billie Joe Armstrong would make it to Broadway?

The American Idiot musical portrays young adults trying to find their way through the world: one leaves to fight for his country, another escapes to the city, and another gets stuck in suburbia.

Seen here is a video of the cast singing Green Day’s “21 Guns.”

Sure hope that leopard attire on one cast member is fake, because only an American Idiot would still be wearing real fur.

Take a look, watch the video and decide for yourself.

Fur real?

Or (hopefully) fur fake.

RAFW S/S 2010/11 - Nookie Catwalk

Louise Van De Vorst made a creative scene at Australian Fashion Week on Wednesday when she arrived in a Volcano dress by designers Romance Was Born.

Van De Vorst is a successful model who is branching out and starting her own clothing line.

This vegan, much like her boyfriend, Silverchair’s front man Daniel Johns, is quite ethical in her food and fashion, and won’t be putting any real fur on the catwalk.

“With myself I do use fake fur and it’s really important to do that kind of stuff,” she said.

With the rise in real fur at so many fashion weeks during the past few months, Van De Vorst’s ethics are a refreshing change.

NHL Charity Shootout

Georges Laraque, former hockey player for the Montreal Canadiens, protested with the Concordia Animal Rights Association (CARA) and PETA outside the Fur and Fashion Exposition of Montréal (NAFFEM) to let every fashionista know that fur is not green.

Far from it. It’s red. And bloody.

While advocates of the fur industry have given their data on why they feel fur is environmentally healthy and sustainable, according to PETA’s blog, it takes 15 times as much energy to produce a fur coat from a farm that raises animals for fur than to make a fake.

There’s also the chemicals involved with the finishing process that have been linked to poor human and environmental health.

The only fur fit for a human is the five o’clock shadow look.

It’s time to get your fake on.
