Holly Madison No Model PETA Citizen

Holly Madison may be the The Girl Next Door, but she’s no model PETA spokesperson.

And PETA’s okay with that.

When the animal rights group approached her to do an anti-fur ad, she told them she wasn’t even thinking of giving up eating meat.

“I’m not a hardcore PETA person,” she said. “When they approached me to do the ad, I made it clear to them that I’m not a vegetarian, and I’ve got leather seats in my car. I said I would support that ad campaign, but I wasn’t their model citizen, and they were fine with that.”

Hey, at least she didn’t turn around and do a burger ad afterwards.

One could stir a nice little debate up on whether we should praise celebrities who take seemingly opposite stances on animal issues. What do you think? Is it okay for celebrities to partake in certain animal rights campaigns and not others. If steak eating Ted Nugent decided he wanted to go naked, would you want it (for the animals, not for pleasure, that is)?

Parsons Honors Calvin Klein, Inc.s Tom Murry And Francisco Costa

Great minds must think alike!

We recently gave props to Tila Tequila and First Ladies Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy for speaking out against the fur industry and proclaiming their fur-free status!

Now, Russell Simmons has blogged at the Huffington Post, giving praises to the above individuals for the actions.

“Our blogger, Tila Tequilla, trumped all of our other celebrity bloggers by handing in the most viewed and commented blog in the history of Global Grind on the subject of animal abuse.”

“…Michelle Obama and France’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy have declared themselves FUR FREE!!! Last week marks a shift in human consciousness.”

“We are finally, after years of going head to head with the fur industry, changing the way the world views fur. It is no longer being viewed as a way to floss and show off your status or bank account – it is now a billboard of cruelty on people’s back.”

Is Tila Tequila a bit narcissistic? She openly called herself “hot” on globalgrind.com.

Well, if you know you got it, admit it! Not only is she hot, she’s got a warm heart for animals, and has taken the opportunity to discourage people from wearing fur.

“I don’t know who those people are that have it in their hearts to skin an animal while it is still alive but I hope that by promoting fur alternatives I’m doing my part to stop that needless suffering. You will never see me wearing a fur and if you do, rest assured its FAKE. If you love animals you cannot justify wearing them. Its that simple. Remember, hot girls fake it…for the animals. I should know, cause I’m hot. Lol.”

Tila posted a video about what goes on in fur factories that has generated TONS of comments.

This gal who has appeared in Stuff, Maxim, Time, and Penthouse definitely knows how to light up the room. And not just because she looks good.

Read what else Tequila has to say and view a pic of her cuddling up with a cute four legged friend at globalgrind.com.

Michelle Obama And Carla Bruni-Sarkozy: Furless First Ladies

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, June 12th, 2009 in Fur, Politicians.

2009 NATO Summit

France’s First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy recently came out of the fur closet and revealed she doesn’t wear fur, and although she may have worn it back in her old modeling days, any fur that’s on her bod now is fake.

“I do not wear, buy or own fur,” wrote France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, in a letter obtained by G2, to Dan Mathews, senior vice president for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals U.S. “Every designer who kindly lends me clothes for public appearances can tell you that I do not accept to wear fur pieces, even when they’re only a small part of the outfit.”

Not to be one upped, U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama, recently made a statement echoing Bruni-Sarkozy’s style. It was shorter, but still got the point across.

“Mrs. Obama does not wear fur,” Michelle’s deputy press secretary Semonti Mustaphi confirmed.

Now that’s a policy that doesn’t need debating!

Will T.I. Go Naked For PETA’s Anti-Fur Campaign?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 in Fur, Male Singers.

2007 MTV Video Music Awards - Arrivals

Prison can do a lot for a man. He can get religious, get in shape, even get a college degree while spending time in the Big House.

PETA is hoping rapper and producer T.I. will want to take off his clothes after wearing that gaudy looking jumpsuit for so long as he serves his prison sentence for federal weapons charges.

The animal rights group has written to T.I. asking him to partake in their “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.

The group heard T.I. asked former inmate Martha Stewart for some advice on how to spend the time behind bars. Since T.I.’s not the crocheting type (or is he?….), PETA suggested another way he could follow in the domestic diva’s footsteps. Martha chose to narrate an anti-fur public service announcement for the group.

“We read you looked to Martha Stewart for advice on how to pass your prison term and come out on top. Did you know that she agreed to narrate an anti-fur public service announcement (PSA) for PETA because she experienced firsthand what it is like for the millions of minks, rabbits, and other animals who are confined to filthy sheds on fur farms? But unlike inmates who are freed when they finish their sentences, these animals are beaten, have their necks broken, are electrocuted, and are often skinned alive for their fur. We hope you follow Martha’s compassionate example and become involved with our anti-fur efforts.”

Will T.I. bare all for the animals? It’s such a generous act, it’s deserving of some time off for good behavior.

Mark Ronson Looks Dog Gone Good In Anti-Fur Ad

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, May 26th, 2009 in Fur, Misc Artists and Performers.

Mark Ronson is showing his concern for animals by offering to pose in this PETA anti-fur ad that reads, “If you wouldn’t wear you dog, please don’t wear fur.”

Mark is the big brother of Samantha Ronson, the DJ and ex girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, who was quite upset months ago after two measures were passed in the state of California that allowed farm animals to move around freely but defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

Samantha had written, “i guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me. yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

But big bro has the compassion for animals, and hopefully this will eventually rub off on Sam.

If Mark’s dog Maude doesn’t pull at her heart, what will?
