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 and boyfriend Jamie Hince out in London

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.

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.

Holly Madison No Model PETA Citizen

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, June 19th, 2009 in Fur, Models.

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)?

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.

Missy Higgins Fronts New PETA Anti-Fur Ad With Best Friend Izzy

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, April 17th, 2009 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Fur.

We admit we’re in love with Missy Higgins. But what’s not to love about her?

A vegan with a beautiful voice and equally talented song writing skills, she’s no stranger to animal issues either. Remember when she got cuddly with the piggy?

Now she’s cozying up with Izzy the dog, and both want to convey a serious message about animals and the fur industry.

“If you wouldn’t wear your dog, please don’t wear any fur,” reads the ad.

“The only difference between your “best friend” and animals killed for their fur is how we treat them. All animals suffer and feel pain. Please don’t wear any fur or fur trim.”

Angelina Jolie Looks Synchill-tillating On Salt Set

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 in Actresses, Fur.

Angelina Jolie filming in New York City

Angelina Jolie is looking awfully furry these days.

She wore this fur-lined poncho and matching Russian style winter fur hat while filming on the set of her new spy thriller movie, Salt.

But while this looks like chinchilla, it’s actually a fake, or “synchilla.”

Jolie’s reps confirmed to PETA that Jolie only wears her own skin and that hat and coat are both synthetic.

“The chinchilla is actually synchilla,” PETA blogged.

Hats off (or maybe on, in this case) to Angelina for keeping it faux real!
