Singer Pink: Fur Makes You Look Fat!

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?

Pink Says Go Veg For Simplest Animal Welfare Move

Stella McCartney: Paris Fashion Week Ready-to-Wear A/W 09

Our animal advocate friends down under at Animals Australia Unleashed had the pleasure of speaking with the lovely vegetarian singer Pink.

Pink has been helping animals her entire life, rescuing injured ones when she was a child.

Her biggest contribution to saving animals nowadays is refusing to eat them, and she shares this as a tip for those wanting to be involved with animal welfare.

“Rescuing a shelter animal as opposed to a puppy mill or pet shop. Not wearing fur, becoming a vegetarian, donating time or money to a shelter.”

Sounds simple enough.

Pink admitted she’s pretty vocal about her opinions and is not afraid to tell people wearing fur how disgusting they look.

Hey, we believe it. Remember when she said she’d like to make a fur coat out of Kanye West?

Pink No Non-Drinking Vegetarian: Enjoys Aussie VB Beer

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, June 14th, 2009 in Female Singers, Food & Drink.

Pink Plays Perth

Ingrid Newkirk once said she hated people thinking being vegan meant being a “pure” vegetarian and not drinking or going to church every week.

Singer Pink’s not vegan, but she’s proving vegetarians can have a cold one at the end of the day.

While on tour recently in Australia, she told a reporter that while she prefers to eat vegetarian meals, she kept her concert cooler stocked with VB, Victoria Bitter beer.

Victoria Bitter hasn’t been investigated by the veg friendly alcohol folks at Barnivore.com, so we’re not sure if it’s vegan approved or not. Anyone care to tell?

Update: Victoria Bitter NOT vegetarian or vegan. See comments!

Singer Pink To Kanye West: Shut The Fur Up!

Stella McCartney: Paris Fashion Week Ready-to-Wear A/W 09

The fur’s about to fly between singer Pink and Kanye West.

Kanye showed less than good manners while attending a fashion show hosted by vegetarian designer Stella McCartney when he insisted on talking about fur. Oh, and did we mention, Stella’s vegetarian dad, Paul McCartney and PETA vice president Dan Matthews were present too? Don’t forget that Pink is also vegetarian.

Smooth, Kanye. Real smooth.

“Kanye West is the person p**sing me off right now,” Pink said. 

“I was at Stella McCartney’s Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Paul McCartney and Kanye West.”

“The entire time Kanye is going, ‘They need more fur in this show’. He just wouldn’t shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he’s saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney! I was just so grossed out by him. I’m like, ‘You’re an idiot!'”

And who wants a Kanye pelt?

“There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he’s up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.”

Singer Pink Praises Stella McCartney’s Ethical Fall/Winter Collection

Stella McCartney: Paris Fashion Week Ready-to-Wear A/W 09

Stella McCartney recently showcased her fall/winter ready-wear collection, which of course, consisted of animal-friendly  materials.

Stella’s commitment to cruelty-free wear has earned her the respect of another fellow vegetarian, singer Pink.

“She proves that you can be wildly successful and creative and still have moral values,” Pink told reporters at a post show event organized by PETA.

Such an example of the clothing that allowed Stella to retain her values were stiletto boot-cum-leggings which resembled real leather.

Guest attending the fashion show included Stella’s father, Paul McCartney, Salma Hayek, and rapper Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose.

It’s almost blasphemous to say it’s a “cute” ad, because obviously there’s nothing cute about killing an animal for its pelt.

But in this new cute PETA ad starring Ricky Gervais and singer Pink, at least the animals lived through it to fight back.

Gervais plays the rabbit who snatches his fur coat back from a man, and Pink the alligator who claims a purse a woman is holding made from her skin. No word if she gave the cash back inside it or not.

Pink is already a vegetarian and Ricky has been toying with the idea of it, feeling uncomfortable eating meat that still looks like an animal. What do you think? Is this video a step towards Ricky living the vida vega?

Jamie Bamber Shows His Full Fleet In Protest Against Fur

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 in Actors, Fur.

jamiebamberuk300_reduced Battlestar Galactica actor Jamie Bamber, who played Lee “Apollo” Adama, is currently starring in a new role as the half naked man urging the Queen’s guards not to put any clothes on either.

Because uniformed guards are sexy, but naked guards are even better.

Technically, he’s urging the Queens’ guards not to put any fur on-their heads. The hats worn by the guards are made from Canadian black bear fur. And as you probably guessed, the bears weren’t just given a “haircut” and sent back into the wilderness.

It takes an entire bear hide to make a single cap.

“I initially decided to do the PETA ad because a great friend of mine in L.A., Lucy Davis, had just done a similar ad, and I love Lucy and it was a cause I didn’t know about – I’ll be honest,” Bomber said in an interview.

“So as soon as Lucy opened my eyes, I was thrilled to join her and do my bit.”

“The obvious alternative is to make caps out of faux fur. You know, use synthetic materials to avoid killing a beautiful animal. They’re not to keep warm. It’s not particularly freezing outside Buckingham Palace. You could wear something else. And you could certainly wear faux fur.”

Bamber isn’t the first celebrity to take an interest in the hats the guards wear. US singer Pink has also expressed her concern.

You can sign a petition urging officials to use hats from faux fur. Apparently, all the talk is working. The Minister of Defense has said it was open to the idea of a synthetic material that can be worn in all weather.

Pink’s Ex-Hubby Carey Hart Gets Inked Not Minked

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Business, Fur, Reality TV.

careyhartpetafur721Ladies we know you don’t get enough of your naked men from PETA, but here’s a little something to satisfy.

Carey Hart, ex-husband to singer Pink, has recently teamed up with PETA to raise awareness of using fur in fashion by inviting you to consider wearing your own permanent coat-of tattoos.

“No one’s expecting you to be the perfect citizen…just living consciously [as much as you can].”

Hart got into animal rights through Pink, and the two of them own three dogs.

“It’s just ridiculous, you know?” he says of the fur industry. “It’s like you’re gonna destroy animals so that you can look cool in the nightclubs or you can look cool walking down the street in New York. You know I don’t get behind that. I think it’s very petty and very shallow. And then once I saw the investigation and the actual process it just disgusted me.”

You can view the video of Hart talking more about animals, fur, and looking hot at peta.org.
