Singer Pink: Fur Makes You Look Fat!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 in Female Singers, Fur.

Pink Performs in Nice

It’s no secret Pink is quite vocal about her opinions on fur and the people who wear it. (She once said that Kanye West would make a good coat after he professed his love for animal hide.)

She’s also helped with anti-fur campaigns with animal rights groups.

Now, Pink wants an entirely different campaign, aimed at the self-esteem of fur wearers: You don’t look cute, fashionable, or sexy…You just look fat!

And there’s no “ph” in front of that either, girlfriend.

“The whole animal welfare and cruelty side of wearing fur is clearly not working because some people still insist on wearing it,” Pink was quoted as saying.

“So I think we should have a new campaign with the message – fur makes you look fat. That is probably the only thing these people care about so let’s go for that. You look terrible in that. It makes you gain 15 or 20 lbs. That will do the trick.”

What do you think? Can Pink’s campaign have people dropping pounds of mink faster than a fad diet?

Brooke Hogan Needed Waterproof Mascara After Watching Fur Video

Ali & Cody Lohan Announce The Blackberry Brick Breaker Contest

Brooke Hogan is following Tila Tequila’s lead and blogging about the horrors of fur on Globalgrind.com.

Brooke has Russell Simmons to thank for directing her to a video and opening her eyes about fur factory farms.

Now she’s hoping others will see the truth as well.

“Last week Russell Simmons made me cry. Sounds juicy, I know but sorry, there is no real scandal to tell. But there is a story – so here it is. As most of you know Russell is an animal rights activist. He truly cares about animals and tries to spread the animal rights message to everyone.”

“I love animals, I was raised with animals and respect them. I was speechless when I saw this and it affected me deeply. I know that there are much more fashionable and compassionate ways to stay warm in the winter so I’m pleading with you to watch the video below and join me in the fight. Animals feel pain and suffer exactly the same way as you or I do. They weren’t put on this planet so that we could do whatever we wanted to them and not be held accountable.”

“Join me and vow to NEVER buy fur…not even fur gloves or fur on your collars. Fur equals pain and suffering. Period. And for my girls out there, if you watch this video you WILL cry so make sure you have your waterproof mascara on first. Its a killer. Literally.”

Kate Moss Makes Jamie Hince FUR-ious With Rabbit Blanket

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, August 3rd, 2009 in Fur, Models, Not So Vegetarian.

Kate Moss has angered her boyfriend Jamie Hince, by buying a blanket made of rabbit fur.

Hince is reportedly a staunch vegan, and a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Huge conflict has flared up between the pair over what Jamie claims is Kate’s disregard for animal welfare.”

“He is a strict vegan who won’t even touch cow’s milk and is horrified by Kate’s insistence on wearing fur and having it round the home,” the source said of the guitarist in the British rock band The Kills.

This wouldn’t be the first time Kate has disgusted a veggie pal with her choice of furnishings.

Stella McCartney wasn’t too pleased to attend the supermodel’s 35th birthday bash at her home, where Moss has fur rugs and dead animals hanging on the wall.

Dutch police have released Peter Janssen, otherwise known as the “vegan streaker.”

Janssen was arrested last week after police received a tip that he was planning to attack Queen Beatrix of Holland because she wears fur.

The 24 year old animal rights activists earned his named as the “vegan streaker” after he made a surprise appearance on a Dutch television show wearing only black briefs and anti-meat slogans painted on his body.

He was released after authorities determined they did not have sufficient evidence to keep him in custody.

A statement said: “The investigation by the national detectives unit has so far not yielded any evidence.”

Janssen is denying the allegations and says he plans to launch a lawsuit for wrongful arrest.

Queen Beatrix has been in the news about fur before when Pamela Anderson wrote a letter asking her to ban it from Holland.

Polish born supermodel Joanna Krupa doesn’t think too highly of stars that wear fur.

Krupa, who has worked with animal rights organizations in the past, vows she will never date a man who doesn’t wear his own skin and had some pretty nasty things to say about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in Maxim magazine.

“I think it’s the cheesiest s**t on the planet for a man to wear fur,” Krupa said. “Look at Diddy – he looks like a ‘tard. If you think you look hot in a fur jacket, you have issues.”

You can check out photos of Joanna wearing her true skin at Maxim.com.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Stella McCartney Anti-Fur Lecture

Lindsay Lohan is so well known for the forest of critters that lie on her back, she’s even been nominated for the Worst Dressed Celebrity, based on the amount of cruel clothing she wears.

Now, she’s been chastised by vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney for her wardrobe choice.

Apparently, Stella thinks Lindsay’s been photographed in one animal coat too many.

A source says, “Lindsay wears a lot of Stella’s designs and she doesn’t want to be associated with a high-profile star who insists on wearing animal products.”

A spokeswoman for McCartney says, “She never uses fur and encourages everyone to opt for a vegetarian lifestyle.”

If you like the fur look, but not the killing involved, slip into something made by Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs, where every coat is made to look real, but is faker than the bosoms in Hollywood.

Model Suzanne McCabe Will Pose In PETA’s First Irish Anti-Fur Ad

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, July 10th, 2009 in Fur, Models.

PETA is definitely the type of organization that looks for world domination.

They’ve recruited dozens of US and European celebrities to front anti-fur, vegetarian, and other animal rights campaigns and are inching in on South America with Lydia Guerra.  Now, Irish animal lovers will be proud to call Suzanne McCabe their own as she’ll be starring in PETA’s first “I’d Rather Go Naked than Wear Fur” campaign in the country.

McCabe recently turned vegetarian as well, so it couldn’t get any better!

“It’s not tacky at all; it’s very tastefully done,” McCabe said. “You can’t really see anything, but it still gets the message across, which is the most important thing.”

“My parents weren’t overly delighted when they heard about the nudity, but they know how important the cause is to me and I know once they see the pictures they will be happy.”

“It’s incredibly exciting because this is the first time this PETA campaign has ever been done here.”

McCabe’s ad is expected to go public by the end of the summer.

Naomi Campbell Plans To Look Ugly In Fur Campaign

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 in Fur, Models, Not So Vegetarian.

MTV Europe Music Awards 2004 - Arrivals

Photographed here in what seems like second skin for her, model Naomi Campbell has announced plans to star in a fur campaign for designer Dennis Basso.

Although Noami once had principles and starred in a “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign for PETA, she tossed those faster than a clothing switch at a photo shoot and criticized the group for its tactics.

“When PETA started targeting (Vogue editor) Anna Wintour and (designer) Karl Lagerfield and putting dead animals on their plate, I felt that they went too far and I thought, I didn’t want to be a part of this campaign anymore.”

She added, “I do like wearing fur and I still do.”

Well, now.

Naomi isn’t winning some over at monsterandcritics.com, where commenters are giving their two cents.

“She has brought all the negative feelings about her on herself with her disgusting actions.”

“This woman Naomi Campbell may be beautiful on the outside but inside she is very very ugly. In the past she was part of an anti-fur campaign but obviously for her it was only skin deep! Money rules and her compassion for anybody but herself is obvious. Fur only looks good on the true owner: the poor animal that was abused and tortured for a stupid coat!”
