Twiggy isn’t happy about the use of fur at this year’s London Fashion Week, and cites a new investigation by Animal Defenders International as a reason to boycott both fur and the designers who use it.

“I hope this ADI report helps the fashion industry realise that these poor animals are kept in such terrible and inhumane conditions,” said Twiggy, who’s real name is Lesley Hornby. “Is it really worth this cruelty just for fashion’s sake? I don’t think so.”

The new report details the conditions the animals are kept in at factory farms in Finland, a supplier to the UK.

Twiggy called using 20 foxes or 80 mink to make a single coat “intolerably cruel.”

“I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable,” she said.

The Daily Mail says fashion experts are reporting that Peter Pilotto, Caroline Charles, Matthew Williamson and Todd Lynn are all still using fur.

Oh, dear.

What’s happened to Kate Moss?

The model who’s BFFs include ethical designer Stella McCartney was recently seen leaving a Vivienne Westwood fashion show in London.

Kate made the announcement she was giving meat-free Mondays a try and although she’s been called out for her fur loving ways in the past, Kate’s been spotted faking it before.

Take a look and decide for yourself.

Is Kate fur real?

Sure hope she’s faking it.

Adam Lambert was interviewed by TMZ (which can be heard here), where he revealed his true feelings (or lack thereof) about animals used for fur.

“I know this is the most un-PC way to put it, but I didn’t kill the thing so I don’t see why I can’t wear it.”

Whoa, there. There are worse phrases than un-PC to describe Mr. Glambert’s attitude.

But wait, there’s more. If you can eat it, might as well wear it.

“It’s like we eat meat, I don’t like cruelty toward animals so anything that can be done to prevent that, but I think fur looks great.”

Note to Adam and everyone else who likes fur but wants to prevent cruelty to animals: Wear a fake!

Olympic skater Johnny Weir has been targeted by animal rights activists for a costume containing fur he wore earlier in the season.

Weir calls them “crazy fur people,” and says they are attacking him as a publicity stunt.

“I’m an easy person to pick on because I’m very open I like fur and I like things that come from dead animals. It’s easy put your cause against an athlete going to the Olympic Games, it’s good free publicity for these activists.”

Although the last rush of protests prompted Weir to switch outfits, he insists if the mood is right, he’ll wear fur on the ice again.

“If I still want to compete, if I felt the costume needed fur, I would wear fur. If all this happens again I get a bodyguard.”

Of course, if Weir stops wearing real fur and buys synthetic, he can save money and ditch the 300 lb. (faux) beefy bouncer.

Catherine Zeta Jones has been named Worst Dressed Celebrity of 2010 by animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Catherine won the dishonor for her collections of fur and other animal hide attire.

In a statement to Access Hollywood, PETA said, ““With her creepy cow-skin pants, ugly fox coat, and icky alligator bag, Catherine Zeta-Jones looks like she’s working her way through Noah’s ark with a knife. Maybe she’s trying to get into character for an upcoming role as a serial killer — or a taxidermist.”

Do you agree with PETA’s top pick?

Or should it have been Jennifer Lopez, who PETA nicknamed “Jenny from the Butcher block.”

Heidi Klum was caught by the paparazzi on her way to a morning show appearance to discuss her new maternity line coming out this month, Lavish and Loved.

Supermodels have very little “insulation” to keep them warm, so it was understandable she had to wear this fuzzy looking jacket.

Sure hope that’s fake fur she’s wearing.

Being the mother of four children herself, one would think she’d have those “maternal” instincts and run far away from anything that harms any mother or child–like fur farms confining animals in cages and killing them inhumanely for fashion purposes only.

Zoom in on the pic and judge for yourself.

Is Heidi Klum fur real?

Or is she faking it?

Leona Lewis says seeing people wear fur makes her stomach churn.

“When I see people wearing fur it makes me so sick. Especially when I see young singers doing it – that sickens me.”

Being such an animal lover, you can imagine how she felt when stylists tried to throw animal attire on her for a photo shoot.

“When I rocked up to my first photo shoot they had feathers and fur there and everything in despise,” she said to Live magazine, according to Angry Ape. “I had to make it so clear that I just do not go there.”

Figure skater Johnny Weir was under attack by animal rights group Friends of The Animals for wearing an outfit that contained fox fur during a routine.

The group contacted his costume designer, Stephanie Handler, who added a touch of fox fur on the shoulder of one of his costumes.

“She did what I asked her to,” Weir said. “It wasn’t her choice to make me a costume with fur. At least directly come to me and yell at me. Don’t attack my peeps.”

Weir insists it’s not that he doesn’t care about animals killed for fur. He just thinks there are bigger issues worry about.

“I totally get the dirtiness of the fur industry and how terrible it is to animals. But it’s not something that’s the No. 1 priority in my life,” Weir said in another statement. “There are humans dying everyday. There are thousands if not millions of homeless people in New York City. Look at what just happened in Haiti.”

Weir also pointed out that most figure skaters wear shoes made from leather.

“Every skater is wearing skates made out of cow,” Weir said. “Maybe I’m wearing a cute little fox while everyone else is wearing cow, but we’re all still wearing animals.”

Animal advocate groups were probably hoping for a little more remorse than what Weir showed.

Maybe he and other figure skaters should request some custom made leather-free skates like Heather Mills did on Dancing On Ice.

And stop wearing fur and skate like a real woman like Tai Babilonia does.
