While I’m not really a big fan of a lot of PETA’s tactics, I have to admit that they’ve got some creative people working for them. Whether it’s their raunchy vegetable commercials – deemed so sexy they were banned from the Superbowl – or their anti-Olsen twin/Trollson twin campaign (which involved some very unattractive Trollson twin face masks), they certainly manage to keep our attention.
PETA’s had a vote on their website for the worst dressed fur-wearing celebrity, and not surprisingly Madonna comes in number one, with the Olsen Twins a close second. Here’s what they had to say about their top – or rather bottom – five.
Madonna
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.Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
Since fur adds 20 years and 20 pounds, maybe Mary Kate and Ashley think their matronly wardrobe will deflect the gossip about bulimia. Somewhere, someone is missing a matching pair of Bigfoot bobble head dolls.Maggie Gyllenhaal
Maggot has gone from being lost in her brother’s shadow to being lost inside some really ugly fur coats. Where is her fashion sense? Maybe Christian Bale dropped her on her head during an action sequence in The Dark Knight.Kanye West
Kanye rants about not winning Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, but what he really deserves is a “lifetime bereavement award” for all of the corpses in his closet. Kanye, we love the quirky suits, but you can’t claim to be “the voice of this generation” while flaunting fur, which is old school and cruel.Elizabeth Hurley
Elizabeth Wholey? Instead of flaunting the remains of animals, this faded siren might focus on the remains of her career. She made us want to hurley when we saw her pimping for furriers in those desperate ads.

I thought what they had to say about Madonna being “on the prowl for a young cub,” was awesome. I normally associate fur with old ladies. If Madge is so obsessed with youth, why is she wearing it? Nothing makes you look closer to 75 than wearing an animal pelt. With the exception of some light blue hair of course. Maybe Madonna could ease up on the cosmetic surgeries and iron pumping and instead just stop wearing fur. That’d make her look 15 years younger too.

I could have done without the close up shot of Madonna. Woof.
Someone take out the trash.
@Ash. Hear hear.
Wow,s he really does look like crap these days, doesn’t she?
I know that celebrity promotion of anything can bring it more popularity and make it seem more acceptable, however, doesn’t it make sense to go after the designers who create the fur products in the first place?
PETA is so full of sh*t. They love it when these people wear fur. It gives them a pulpit to shout from. Without fur wearing celebrities, PETA would have no voice.
So much negativity: Do you feel soooo bad about yourself and your looks so that you have to put down such a beautiful women young looking and so fit at her age?
I feel sorry for you, but definitely not for beautiful Madonna!
I’ve never seen that picture of Madonna. I think she looks very pretty there (except the messy hair). She’s instantly recognizable.
She’s Old. A mom is supposed to be soft(er) and huggable. Her kids must want to sit on her lap and have their heads against her soft(er) chest.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s really awesome if a woman is still toned when she hits 50 – but those kids must feel like they are sitting on Optimus Prime’s lap. She has these extremely masculine arms and legs,hard body – there is just NOTHING sexy about it.
Soft but firm….that’s what we’re looking for..
yeah, i think anyone with eyes would vote madge onto the worst dressed list!
@ Iway : Sit on her lap? I think her daughter Lourdes is 11 or 12 years old. Do 12 year olds still sit on their mother’s lap???
@Michiru…yup they do. My kids still want a cuddle and they are 14…and she looks scary…imagine that coming at you (if you were a young bloke) with lust in her eyes…it’d make you swear off sex for life…ewwwwwwww
Instead of Madonna, Sharon Stone should have topped the Peta’s list. But of course, fame-PR hungry Peta goes after Madonna, knowing that they secure bigger coverage by exploiting her name!
