Celebrity Feuds
Beyoncé Ambushed by PETA at Nobu

Beyoncé was confronted Thursday night at the swanky restaurant Nobu in New York City by two members of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The two had won an eBay auction, benefiting VH1's Save the Music Foundation, to dine with the star. Beyoncé had no idea they were PETA members.


TMZ obtained video of the confrontation, shot by PETA, taped inside the restaurant. As they sat at the table, Beyoncé, who has a fashion line with her mother that uses fur, had no idea what was coming. After placing their orders, the PETA members confronted the singer.

The PETA members then pulled out a portable DVD player and began playing a tape of Pamela Anderson's attack on the fur industry, which highlights graphic footage of the process of killing animals for their fur.

Also present at the table -- Beyoncé's mother Tina and her sister Solange.

The PETA members were swiftly escorted out of the restaurant. Beyoncé and her relatives stayed inside.

Calls to Beyoncé's reps were not immediately returned.

2686. If people who wear fur should be slapped, what should happen to people who kill innocent dogs and cats by the thousands each year? PETA looks really silly passing judgement on others when they are guilty of far worse actions. People finally know what a horrible organization PETA is.

P.E.T.A.
PEOPLE EXTREMINATING TROUBLED ANIMMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2687. PETA cares about animals? I don't think so... Check out the following information what this group really does:

It's true. PETA has been running its own doggie death chamber since at least July 1998. Through the end of 2003, PETA killed over 10,000 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That's more than five animals every day. Instead of actually caring for these thousands of pets (the same creatures PETA calls "companion animals"), the group killed them. And PETA continues to lecture the rest of us.
In a 2000 Associated Press story, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that actually taking care of animals would cost more than killing them. "We could become a no-kill shelter immediately," she admitted. She's right. PETA raked in nearly $29 million last year, much of it from pet owners who think their donations actually help animals. That kind of dough could provide food and shelter for every stray animal in PETA's area code. But PETA has other priorities for its money: equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, lying in wait to indoctrinate small children with anti-milk propaganda, strong-arming restaurant executives, and even intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods.
PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists. But it kills most of the animals it's asked to protect.
Hypocrisy is the mother of all credibility problems, and PETA has it in spades.

2689. To everyone out there, the bible clearly states: MATT 7:1>Judge not, that he not be judged. Therefore my prayers are, If you believe your brotheren hast fallen, pray for him and I will do the same for you.

2691. First off, I enjoy Beyonce. I feel she is a dynamic artist and the worst thing we can do as listeners of her music is compare. Sure, we have our opinion on why she does some things but we have to remember that Beyonce will bring herself back on top. I do think that right now she has setbacks due to her indecisive aspirations to explore new boundaries in her music.

As for the PETA, that was a total disgrace. I am totally surprised they got away with video evidence of the incident. Beyonce should have immediately order that camera to be destroyed.

As for the animal lovers (particularly fur), GROW UP!!!! IF EVER, it came to a harsh decision of a human's life or your pet FUU-FUU and you chose that scarf. (LOL) YOU NEED TO BE LOCKED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

2692. hello doesn't anyone read the bible....god created the heavens and the earth. he created man and beast....what do you think adam and eve were eating and wearing after they left the garden of eden. according to history cavemen brutually killed and ate animals so if you believe in the evolution theory the people from peta need to take a look in the mirror and see where they came from. i am a proud carnivore and if i could afford it i would wear all kinds of fur. peta needs to stop trying to force their beliefs on others...hello animals were made to be eaten and worn that's why they're underneath us on the food chain.....get a life peta.

2694. I am disguisted with anyone one especially celebrities who wear dead animals. Do they not have enough luxuries in thier lives that they have to kill animals and yes wearing one is the same as killing one. If no one bought fur the animals would not be killed. I wish people had more compassion and thought about the torment that went into their clothes.

2695. i hope that one day people follow u around with cameras and confront u with everything they think u r doing wrong. anyone who thinks that either beyonce's mother or her own lack talent obviously doesn't know whats up on the fashion game.

2696. this is white america at it best, when they can't rise to the top at one thing they will make sure that they will pick out another..... they have already took their best shots with the Williams sister in tennis, however their "Successful black persons hating campaign" don't bother them because running over white people in their own sport is the nature of the business, mainly when you're the few battling the many.....
They would rather see this Black beautiful Doll make her money by keeping a Dingaling in her mouth like Paris Hilton.......
It's just an example of how the Devil works!!
The people that was responsible for posting the artical also used vague lure tactic so more people will read it to build hate against beyonce... oopppppppppsss! bad taste.......!
when black people were in the back seat of doing thing best they just waited until it was they're time to rise...... it maybe time for the whites to wait now, mainly for this talented girl because i don't think she's willing to make her money on her knees (Paris Hilton_)
It show where america value system has cause this country to go into the toilet. The Animal rights activist are up in arms on fashion, however all children of america that George Bush has send to die in the oil war is acceptable.......
it makes no since, first America cries over the dead soldiers and then charge after Beyonce Knolles????????????
I guess they say it's easier than impeaching George Bush!

2697. lol, just like i said........ i look over to the right of these blogs and they got pictures of all the famous people that are in the spot light, and who do you think is ABOVE Anglina Jolie and Beyonce Knowles......... The World famous Penis puffer......... rotflmao!!!!!!!!!!!

2698. yes bey is a not so smart girl when it come to thinking for herself, but at the same time she is not doing the killing of theses helpless animals. i think that peta needs to go after the people who actually have the contact with the animals right before their last breath. if there isnt anyone to kill animals, then there wont be anyone to buy there dead fur. bey is not the only one that wears fur or has it in her clothing line, now dont get me wrong, i dont really care to much for beyonce, but if you are going to attack people for the cruelty of animals and their fur collection, then you need to attack them all and there is alot of them to attack.

2699. You people are freaking hilarious. Beyonce is one of the most talented African-American females of my time. You guys spend time criticizing the wrong things. I'm sure the majority of you guys still eat burgers, chicken, fish, shrimp...etc...c'mon people...what is the problem? Is she the only person in the whole freakin world who wears fur? HECK NO!!!!!! Shoot...whose to say George W. Bush and his wife doesn't have furs in their closets..I'm quite sure they do..now go interview him about some freakin fur.

2700. You people are so Petty Most of you are probably white and you are worried about how animals are killed for there fur when your race have been raping and stealing for hundreds of years. You treated my people like animals for 400 years and you had no problem hanging my ancestors from trees when ever you felt the need. I'm sure that the alligators that boots are made of would not hesitate to snap you in half if they had the chance. Stop making a big deal out of nothing. What about all the people starving help them out. What about the animals that we kill and eat each day. White people don't want to see us prosper in anything we do. "Bastards"leave Beyonce' alone. Your people have been doing F**ked up S**T for years so you should worrie about the rights of the people you have made suffer.
