Vegetarian Star

Two sex symbols of the 60s, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren, turned 75 this month.

Bardot, a vegetarian and animal rights activist, wished Sophia a happy three quarters of a century, asking Sophia to give her the best birthday present ever.

“I wish a happy birthday to Sophia Loren, my splendid twin, and I ask her to stop wearing fur — that is the best gift she could offer me,” Bardot said.

Bardot was less harsh with her words than she was in the 90s when she said, “Wearing a fur is wearing a cemetery on your back,” after Loren posed in fur for an Italian designer.

Hey, it’s her birthday month. Everyone’s a little nicer around that time.

Pink got political during her sold out show at the Patriot Center in the D.C. area recently and gave a shout out to First Lady Michelle Obama.

“Let’s get political for a second,” Pink said. “Since we’re near D.C., I have to give a shout-out to Michelle Obama, who has announced that she is officially fur-free. I love an animal-lovin’ first lady!”

Pink then began singing her Dear Mr. President song, which describes her questions about politics.

Better to be on Pink’s good side when it comes to animal hides because if you remember correctly, she had a few different choice of words when describing Kanye West and fur.

Kate Moss stepped out from a night of clubbing at Mahiki and The Ivy with boyfriend Jamie Hince wearing this gold coat with fake fur trim.

It’s about time Kate faked it.

She’s made the worst dressed list for her fur wearing ways in the past and is said to have fur rugs in her home.

Nice improvement, Kate.

Does this have anything to do with her vegan rocker boyfriend from The Kills?

Gotta admire PETA for their creative ways to display naked people.

Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff is starring is this anti-fur PSA with a strategically placed arm of her dancing partner.

What would Carrie Ann and Bruno say about the style?

“I did wear fur, especially when I was little,” Karina said. “But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel.”

“You have a choice as an individual, you have a choice in the press, in the world, whether to make a statement that you do support killing animals or make a statement when you don’t. And you can still be as chic as you can possibly want to be.”

The end of September marks birthdays for two big sex symbol icons of the 60s, Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot.

Both woman turn 75 this month and were known for their screen goddess film looks in their youth, but from an animal rights point of view, they’re polar opposites.

After retiring from movies around the age of 40, vegetarian Bardot devoted her life to animal activism, calling it “the most wonderful success” of her life.

And when Loren posed in a fur ad for an Italian designer in the 90s, Bardot wrote to her saying, “Wearing a fur is wearing a cemetery on your back.”

In Defense of Animals posted this formula for the number of animals it takes to make  fur coat.

“To make one fur coat you must kill at least fifty-five wild mink, thirty-five ranched mink, forty sables, eleven lynx, eighteen red foxes, eleven silver foxes, one hundred chinchillas, thirty rex rabbits, nine beavers, thirty muskrats, fifteen bobcats, twenty-five skunks, fourteen otters, one hundred twenty-five ermines, thirty possums, one hundred squirrels, or twenty-seven raccoons.”

That’s quite a pet cemetery.

Dancing With The Stars premiers tonight between 8 and 10 PM EST on ABC.

Do you already have your favorite contestant in mind?

There are so many favorites to choose from, like Mya, who went vegetarian to get in shape and lost 11 pounds for the competition.

There’s also Kelly Osbourne, who, although rumored to be a flip flop vegetarian, attended the launch of Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Monday campaign to get people to reduce their meat intake.

Then there’s Joanna Krupa, who posed in this popular anti-fur ad.

Last year, a spoof PETA ad was recorded by the DWTS contestants, where some “facts” about the cruelties of the dancing industry were revealed.

Watch the clip below to view.

A movie about the editors, models, and photographers that made September 2007 the best selling edition of Vogue magazine ever, The September Issue,  hits the theatres this month.

Anna Wintour, fashion editor and editor-in-chief of American Vogue is known for reviving the fur trend in fashion.

Not sure how the “reviving” works, since the fur is dead, but Anna supposedly has the resurrection powers within her.

“Nobody was wearing fur until Anna put it back on the cover in the ’90s,” one stylist said, according to usatoday.com.

Thanks a bunch, Anna. The animals thank you as well.

Wintour has been quoted as saying,”There’s always a way to wear fur. Personally, I wear it on my back.”

Don’t see why she’s bragging about this, as most men won’t even admit to having a hairy back.

With the cruelty of animals being kept in cages on fur farms and even skinned alive for the hides, the best way to wear fur is to fake it or keep it on the original owner-the animal.

Lady Gaga was spotted leaving her hotel room for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in what looks to be fur.

Has to be fake, right?

Back when Gaga was sporting her Kermit the Frog coat, she said, “I really loved this one in particular because I thought it was commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur. We were all laughing in the house about how it looks like a pile of dead Kermits.”

Take a look and judge for yourself.

Has Gaga went back on her word?
