Vegetarian Star

Winter brings freezing temperatures and a hoard of women rushing to the stores to buy fur to keep warm.

Maybe that’s why PETA chose this time of year to name the Worst Dressed Celebrity, based on that star’s tendency to put on another critter’s hide before leaving home.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Elizabeth Hurley and Rihanna are expected to find themselves on the list of nominees that readers will choose online.

The “loser” will be announced in February by vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney.

Actress Christina Ricci claims those embarrassing titles work.

“I never meant to hurt nor anger anyone with my insensitivity,” said Ricci after being nominated. “For what it is worth, I have received the message loud and clear and will not be wearing fur in the future. I apologise for my offensive actions.”

Wishing everyone on the list best of luck–in changing their attitudes and hearts.

The Mirror reports that several celebrities are jumping on the faux fur bandwagon and Alexa Chung may be the trendsetter to thank, due to her taking an interest in faux leopard print fur.

Thank goodness Alexa’s into not wearing the hide of animals, even if they are the animals that she hates.

But should vegetarians and even meat eating animal lovers be sporting fake fur?

Respect For Animals representatives insist that wearing faux fur will, “keep alive the idea that wearing fur is acceptable and fashionable, when it is neither”.

Perhaps faux wearing folks should come with a name tag that reads, “I’m a phony.”

Kate Hudson recently spent the day with dear ol’ mom Goldie Hawn in Aspen, Colorado.

Is this like mother, like daughter, keeping fur in the family?

Goldie looks pretty fake, but Hudson…not so sure.

You would think that after spending the evening at compassionate vegetarian designer Stella McCartney‘s store for New York’s Fashion Night Out, Hudson would have learned a thing or two.

If Kate’s fur coat is real, she’d be locked out from Night Out if Stella had anything to do with it.

What do you think?

Is Kate fur real?

Or is she faking it?

(And will A-Rod ever come back to her?)

Real Housewives of New York City star Kelly Bensimon asked on Twitter why she shouldn’t wear fur.

But having a compassionate heart isn’t good enough for Bensimon, she just wants the cold, hard facts.

“Fur really gets u guys fired up. Let’s talk facts, not emotion. Tell me factually why peeps shouldn’t wear fur. I want to know, facts only.”

Well, well…if you have to be blunt.

Animals killed for fur in North America are put to sleep with carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide gas, according to the Fur Commission of USA.

But an investigation by Care for the Wild, EAST International and the Swiss Animal Protection (SAP) titled “Fun Fur? A Report on the Chinese Fur Industry” found animals were killed inhumanely by being skinned alive, still having a heartbeat and taking a breath 5-10 minutes after being skinned.

Ah, but that’s still too emotional for Kelly.

What about being totally environmentally unfriendly!

Global Action Network, an animal and environment protection agency has much to say on this issue.

Fur itself is natural, but the process to make it stable (aka lasting longer than most of your relationships) involves using formaldehyde, chromium and other chemicals the EPA states cause respiratory problems and are possible carcinogens.

And a study released by the New York state Department of Health found half of testicular cancer victims worked in the fur tanning industry.

With that said, hope Kelly is wearing a fake in this photo.

Maybe she should be spending more time with the naked, fur-free housewife Bethenny?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were spotted having dinner earlier this month and a source says Angelina discussed the “evils of fur” with actress Vera Farmiga.

She was also reportedly nibbling on a tomato.

Could Angelina’s interest in cruelty-free be due to Brad’s pressure on her and the children to eat vegetarian, as reported earlier?

Whether or not the sensational story is true, one thing will always be factual–fake fur is better than the real deal, as no animal gets skinned alive or electrocuted or stuck in a cramped cage for its short lifetime.

If you the kind of woman who fakes it, check out Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs.

It’s getting colder and you’ll need that extra layer–just let the animals keep theirs.

Bethenny Frankel "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" PETA Ad

Bethenny Frankel‘s long awaited “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” PETA ad has finally arrived.

This is what every real housewife should be wearing.

Not long ago, Bethenny felt the need to cover up–with fur.

Then an encounter with some anti-fur protesters made her rethink her fashion decisions.

“Since then, I have really been against it. I’m cleaning out my closets–trim, everything.”

Is it time to clean out your own closet from all things cruel, including fur and leather?

Catherine Zeta Jones stepped into the chilly New York weather arming herself with a long fur coat.

Catherine will be starring in the upcoming Trevor Nunn production of A Little Night Of Music.

A Little Night Of Music is great, but a little fur trim is horrible.

If that’s a real fur Catherine’s wearing, it’s more than a trim, but The Mask of Zorro actress surely knows anyone voted one of the most beautiful people will land on the ugliest list for wearing a hide that’s not hers.

Is Catherine making a bad fashion statement by wearing a cruel real fur coat?

Or is she faking it?

Amar'e Stoudemire

Ladies, you know by now that the PETA naked people ads don’t appeal to you nearly as much to men.

But progress is in the works.

Dennis Rodman showed his buns against fur, Owain Yeoman bared his pecs and now NBA basketball player Amar’e Stoudemire is showing off his chiseled body of  tattoos.

“I love animals, and I wouldn’t want to see anything cruel … happen to any animals just for a fashion,” Stoudemire said.

Which is why he’s asking you to get inked instead of buying mink, fox, rabbit and any other animal for a coat.

Sigh…soon women will ask Amar’e for favors as well.
