Vegetarian Star

Animal rights activists in the Philippines staged a protest outside a Janet Jackson concert recently and also met with the singer’s representatives because she promotes fur through a series of advertisements for the label Blackglama.

The activists wore grim reaper costumes and carried placards reading phrases such as, “Janet: Animals suffer and die on fur farms,” “Janet: Fur is Dead,” and “Fur Shame.”

And yes, if you remember reading previous posts on Janet, she is a vegetarian who sometimes eats vegan and has also publicly gushed over how great vegan cookies, soy milk and faux chicken nuggets taste.

The irony.

The activists say the demand for fur contributes to loss of biodiversity and that the industry uses endangered species.

Pamela Anderson has called Janet Jackson “greedy” for agreeing to be the cover girl for Blackglama’s ad campaign, “What Becomes A Legend Most?”

Anderson told OUT magazine, “It’s disappointing. She has spoken out against fur before. I don’t know why some people stop listening to their heart. I guess some people get greedy, but it’s sad.”

Jackson is keeping mum about the criticism and instead using every opportunity to insert (more than likely highly scripted) positive words about the company that’s paying her to do so.

Janet Jackson‘s latest business deal doesn’t make much sense at all.

The singer and actress has signed on to be the face of the American fur label Blackglama, the same company names like Liz Hurley have represented in the past.

Although she can’t get enough of vegetarian restaurants in Atlanta and finds it hard to choose between vegan cookies and soy milk, Jackson has no problem whatsoever putting the dead on the outside of her body.
