People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has come out with their list of the worst fur-wearing celebrities. Not only does PETA have a list, they want you to vote! Go to PETA.org to cast your vote, but don’t expect to see two reliable old fur-wearing favorites on the list. According to a PETA statement exclusively to Radar Online, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce didn’t make the list because they haven’t worn fur in a year. Small victories, PETA. Here’s the list of PETA’s worst dressed celebs:
Mary J. Blige
Elizabeth Hurley
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Ashton Kutcher
Lindsay Lohan
Madonna
Demi Moore
Kate Moss
Ashley Olsen
Mary Kate Olsen
Jessica Simpson
Kanye West
Good Lord, Kanye West wears fur? Yeah, he would be That Guy. I didn’t know Madonna was into fur either, but if PETA claims it, maybe it’s true. Here’s Radar Online’s exclusive, including an interesting piece of information about Britney Spears:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is launching their annual worst-dressed list on PETA.org, and RadarOnline.com has learned that notorious fur and pelt culprits J. Lo and Beyonce did NOT make the list!
According to PETA’s Michael McGraw, “As far as we know Beyonce hasn’t been seen in fur at all this year…neither has J.Lo.” Miracles do happen!
Earlier this month, RadarOnline.com reported that PETA sent Britney Spears flowers and a “Thank you” for not using live animals on her Circus tour. Last night in Los Angeles, however, Brit-Brit wore a fur coat, faux or real…we’re not sure. PETA tells us, “The “Thank you” was JUST for her not using live animals,” wearing fur is another issue. Our guess is…she probably made their worst dressed list!
From Radar Online
So Britney doesn’t use live animals in her show… but there was still controversy when she used a union elephant in her “Circus” video. Once again, small victories, PETA. My vote for PETA’s Worst Dressed is Jessica Simpson. Those leopard-print belts were probably fake, but they should be dragged out into the street and shot anyway.
Picture note by Celebitchy: Here’s everyone on the list except Ashton Kutcher wearing fur. I looked long and hard to find photos of Kutcher in fur, but then I finally realized I could just google it. JustJared has them from this year at Sundace, and that’s a very nasty coat he’s wearing.
Oh, God. Kanye in a special YSL fur? Gross.
I can’t stand PETA bunch of immature idiots.
man how hard is it to lay off dead animal skin? celebrities can be such a bunch of boneheads…
do they frown on fake fur too??
That’s Louis Vuitton, Kaiser.
peta are the biggest bunch of hypocrites going! they supposidly fight for the rights of animals but kill a load of dogs that were brought into their care. peta are the biggest fame hungry whores who couldn’t give a flying f*** about animals but are all about the moolah. f*** you peta! why the hell are you giving them publicity?
I liked Demi’s coat, if you’re going to be on PETA’S sh**-list, you may as well do it in style! What’s the point for some stupid scarf, a dinky collar, or worse yet, a knitted mink jacket (made out of the bits that don’t make it into the real coats, like Demi’s)?
If PETA actually placed more energy into protecting animals than insulting people and starting fights, you’d hear less reports on animal abuse.
But you know, PETA’s too busy taking the piss out of some celebrity’s outfit.
Priorities, children.
…what Christina said.
/nod.
How come people who wear lots of leather aren’t on this list?
i think that peta hasn’t gone so far as to denounce meat eating and leather comes from cows… so i think the fact that the rest of the animal isn’t going to “waste” makes a huge difference… it also probably has a lot to do with the method with which they acquire fur vs leather…
Fur is completely unnescessary in this day in age. Many, many reasons why, and you either agree or you don’t. If people (celebs too) saw how a fur coat was made, they’d probably be horrified. Yes, the same could be said for leather, and I don’t agree with that either, but at the very least it’s a by-product.
A lot of the fur farms are in Asia where the treatment of animals is not strongly regulated.
Regardless of whether Peta agrees, I think it’s just ignorant.
Who cares? Wy does this blog even cover PeTA? STOP GIVING THEM ATTENTION AND THEY’LL GO AWAY! (This goes for Ann Coulter, too)
Diva: PETA only cares about cute fluffy animals.
I’m having computer issues, can someone please let me know if my stuff is posting?? On this and other stories? Thanks!
LOL… so if I ate the ermine meat and made tiny sewing tools from their little bones, would it be ok to wear a coat of their pretty furs? lol
I’m being facetious, lest anyone decide to jump my shit, lol.
I dont think it is anyones business who wears fur. Who are these people to be telling others what they can and cannot do or can and cannot eat?? This is not a dictatorship it is a free world and this is nothing but pure harassment on Petas part. These people should sue them for harassment and stalking. Peta stalks people, throws blood on people. They are biggest crooks around.
Oh I have absolutely no qualms about telling people what to do Judy.
Diva – your tastebuds would probably jump your shit before we got to you.
If you live in Moscow or Vladivostok or something, then yes I can see the point of fur… however in Southern California or the Med, shag to hell off!
I still adore Maggie G – so I’m just going to squeeze my eyes shut and pretend it didn’t happen.
@ Mairead – meh… probably tastes like chicken.
LOL
Jennifer Aniston stopped by the Edwards-Lowell fur boutique in Beverly Hills – looking for a “gift”. Get the flour ready.
I also love that theres an ad for “quality furs” on the side LOL.
What I love the most is that PETA kills animals.
Oh but they mask it as “euthanization”, which is more humane and a much better alternative to placing the pets into loving homes.
Yea, talk to my corgi, let him to lament to you about how much food he’s being deprived of. Dogs and cats would much rather be saved (euthanized) at the hands of PETA than curled up in those horrid pet beds and eating that horrid all natural, holistic food we give them. The tragedy!
I think in this case the messege is more relavant than the messenger…
we can bash Peta all we want, but that doesnt mean celebutards wearing fur is OK!
As long as animals aren´t killing humans to wear human skin ,lol, I won´t support in any way this cruelty business!
If you hunt it, if ya eat it then,in my conception, you are aloud to wear it!
Damn, it is Louis Vuitton! I thought I spied “YSL” but it’s only “LV” – damn similar branding!
I appreciate PETA, why kill animals for their fur when their is no need. Have you seen what they do to the animals. I don’t agree with the sea kitten campaign but I do agree with the Maggie Gyllenhall looks like a snarky wanker in that outfit
To be fair, I think that PETA does call tuna “sea kittens”. Tuna definitely aren’t cute or cuddly.
I think PETA looses a lot of credibility when they are actually against owning pets. And they do condemn eating meat. I know this past year around Thanksgiving, they put up a few games on their site demonstrating how cruel it is to eat turkey.
It is rather entertaining to listen to an impassioned speech about how wrong it is to eat meat coming from someone wearing a leather belt and Doc Maartens.
I hate knowing what goes on in order to gain the fur of animals. It’s horrible and shouldn’t happen. But I agree with others on the site about them spending too much time attacking celebrities when they could make better points. A shame really.
I don’t see much difference between farming cows and farming mink or chinchilla (or fish or chickens for that matter). I have no idea what they do with the remains of the animals, for all we know they turn it into dog/cat food or something. Just because humans aren’t eating it, doesn’t mean that nothing else is.
And in the case of chinchilla, if it weren’t for the breeders, there would likely be none left at all, they have been practically non-existant in the wild for the past 80-90 years or so.
Greenchile, ever heard of end punctuation?
Well, when you’re asking a question, it ends in a question mark, not a period.
I’m assuming that since you “appreciate” PETA, that you have no opinions of your own in fear of PETA being very disappointed in you, but there are far more important animal rights cases than who is wearing fur and holding grudges with people. I kind of thought that *a little bit less* bitchery coming from you and the rest of the spiteful elitists for PETA who you “appreciate” so much didn’t hold a place in your special little code, you being more “compassionate” than everyone else.
I figured that making snarky comments about people’s clothes was “below” you.
Like I said, this group you “appreciate” so much is much more vocal about dead f*cking animals than alive ones that are being mistreated, but until Hollywood and figures in popular culture start starving or beating their pets, it’s nowhere near trendy enough for you to acknowledge.
Some hick in West Virginia could be raping a pig right now, but you wouldn’t know because you’re too concerned with what someone is wearing, and ew, gross, god forbid you’d be caught in the middle of nowhere among *gasp* commonfolk AKA not in some upscale community full of celebrities, socialites, and carnies!
I’m sure that your moral compass known as PETA would probably just *die* if their names wouldn’t get enough press not being in association with all the pretty celebrities!
And no, threatening to firebomb a Mickey D’s does not qualify as a “real” problem…there are real f*cking crimes and animal violence that occuring right now as we speak. Instead of crying over who ate a cheeseburger for lunch or wore a leather jacket, at least pretend to give a damn about what’s happening to the animals that actually need attention for once!
Annie is right. I live in VA and their headquarters is in Norfolk on the waterfront. Really nice piece of real estate by the way. They are always going to shelters posing as adoption candidates and then take the dogs and euthanize them.
In fact there are quite a few of their operatives in jail over that little ploy here in VA and in NC (where they were dumping the animals in garbage bins) that is the height of ethical treatment wouldn’t you say.
On the other hand, Maggie Gyllenhaal is a horrible dresser, fur or not.
Alright! This means I have steak this weekend…I try to make it my practice to eat red meat any time I hear/read about the idiots at PETA.
Childish of me, I know. But, hey, it still means I get to eat a steak…yummmm….
Mairead – “I still adore Maggie G – so I’m just going to squeeze my eyes shut and pretend it didn’t happen.”
That’s exactly how I’m dealing with it. See no evil.
But if PETA want to bombard Liz Hurley and Kanye West with flour/blood/random liquids, I’m fine with that.
Anyone who takes PETA seriously is pretty much ingnorant. It shouldn’t even be covered as a valid organisation whose opinion matters.
Has anyone done a google search on their poster celebrities? People like Pam Anderson are spokespeople for PETA and she wears leather and fur at times.
Even the head of PETA needs medication with animal byproducts (for diabities) and it’s perfectly okay.
PETA is a joke, well I wish it were a joke, but unfortunately people still take it seriously.
i am sad to see maggie g. wearing fur. i don’t know why but that surprises me.
It made me sad to see Maggie in “The Dark Knight” Very disturbing.
beside the point, and not to defend the head of PETA, ’cause they’re all assholes, but no diabetic meds are made from animal byproducts anymore.
i hear what you’re saying, barnes, every time i read about PETA I wish I owned a fur… =)
I don’t “believe” in PETA but true to the principle of non-harming, I have to question the need for meat at EVERY meal. I mean, doesn’t your colon just roll thinking about it?
I have a pound puppy and 2 sponsored kids. And if I had the cash to throw at bling bling and furs, I would gladly give it away too – to help CHILDREN who are dying for want of a few pennies worth of food or medicine :.(
Just wanted to say something since my 14 year old duaghter is very involved in Peta. We have beeb vegetarians for over 10 years and it has made a big difference in ourlife Meat(beef) if you look closely actually has parasite, have you every seen where they put them to deah. I is an fact that vegetairians are more mello and not aggressive. Go Peta, go Peta you have our complete support.
