Vegetarian Star

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 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!

We know Whoopi Goldberg likes vegan beauty products, and now we know she’s a fur-free beauty queen as well.

Legends, a play that had some trouble getting itself on the Broadway stage, finally made its debut recently starring Whoopi, and drag queen faves Charles Busch and Lypsinka.

Pictured here you’ll find the queens covered in what appears to be fur, but just like a lot of other fake things about drag queens, those coats are far from the real thing, courtesy of Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs.

PETA Senior Vice President Dan Mathews said, “When Lypsinka heard about all the mink that was going to be used in the show, she asked PETA to help make sure that the fur was as fake as the leading ladies.”

PETA directed Lypsinka to Donna’s Faux Furs, who’s furs have been worn by celebrities such as Kellie Pickler.

Let’s give it up for Lypsinka for remembering the animals!

The one night only revival of Legends was performed at New York’s Town Hall and proceeds benefited Friends In Deed, a crisis center for people with life threatening illnesses.

Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian recently used her E! television series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians to highlight the importance of being fur-free.

Khloe showed the video footage of fur farms that caused her to give up wearing another animal’s skin.

Awesome, that she’s using the show to spread the news!

She also talked about the experience stripping down to her bare booty for a PETA anti-fur ad, admitting it was hard getting naked at first, but in the end, she was glad she could partake in the opportunity to help animals.

Plus, it’s made her feel a lot better about her body.

“It really helped me be comfortable in my own skin,” said Khloe, who is also working on becoming vegetarian. “In turn, I really hope this helps animals keep their skin.”

Remember, you don’t have to put your naked self on a poster to be kind to animals.

There are plenty of synthetic fashions out there that are both cute and practical. 

And let’s not forget the fake furs celebrities like Kellie Pickler have been seen wearing.

If stars can look great in their own skin, so can you.

Travis McCoy, front man for the musical group, Gym Class Heroes, likes his bunnies. And we’re not talking about Playboy bunnies (but he may like those too).

The vegetarian singer is starring in a PETA ad against fur.

“Bunny Ears, Not Bunny Fur,” is a playful way for Travis to encourage people not to wear real fur made from animals such as rabbits, which often comes from countries with few to no animal welfare standards, resulting in horrible treatment for the animals such as being skinned alive.

Not to mention how rude it is to take someone else’s coat!

Travis’s ex-girlfriend, Katy Perry, had said her New Year’s Resolution was to be vegetarian, but it was probably out of reach because she liked chicken too much. Unfortunately, because of the break up, she won’t even have this veg man to encourage her.

Sigh…Ending relationships can have devastating effects.

Is PETA running out of famous ladies to take their clothes off? Now, comic book characters are being recruited.

A geek’s dream come true, the women of Bluewater Comics have volunteered to bare all against the fur industry.

You might be familiar with Bluewater comics for their sequels to some of Hollywood mythology like The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Clash of the Titans, and Jason and the Argonauts or their monthly 10th Muse books.

Characters featured here are Emma Sonnet from 10th Muse, Diana Moore of JudoGirl, Scarlet of VSS: Nemesis Rising, and Isis from the Legend of Isis.

Oh, if only mom knew the comics her son read in this day and age. And she was only worried about dirty magazines under the bed.

She may be strict when it comes to what goes into the childrens’ bodies, but on the issue of what’s outside, Madonna appears lax.

Madge was named “Worst Dressed” Celebrity of 2009 in a poll where PETA readers voted, based on the amount of animal clothing the celebs wore.

Madonna beat out other fur wearing celebs, such as Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kanye West, and Elizabeth Hurley.

From peta.org:

“When you see Madonna in fur, you realize why nobody has copied her style since 1984. We know that she’s on the prowl for a young cub, but someone needs to tell Madge that wearing fur doesn’t make you a cougar.”

You can see who else topped the list, as well as “vote again” if you don’t agree with the results at peta.org.

Vegan, ethical blogger Discerning Brute caught up with fashion expert and Project Runway’s Tim Gunn during Fashion Week in New York to get his thoughts on fur in the fashion industry.

Gunn has recorded an anti-fur video in the past and has such a fearful reputation, fur wearing celebrities run the opposite direction when they see him.

He explained to The Brute that while he doesn’t necessarily advocate fake fur, there are plenty out there for those interested in getting that “cavemen look.”

“If someone wants to look like a cavemen…if that’s the look that they want, they sure have a good one [selection of fake fur],” Gunn said.

Check out the video to hear Tim talk, and if you’re a speed reader, you can view the credit roll that appears in the video listing all the fur-free fashion designers.
