Fashion
From Brit to Liza, Fur Flies for Femmes

Looks like some celebs still aren't hiding from wearing a dead animal -- in the name of fashion.


Even as the anti-fur movement gets more vociferous, TMZ -- in just one weekend -- spotted Britney Spears, Liza Minnelli, Eve, Mary J. Blige, Sharon Stone and even Madonna fur-nished with all manner of fur-ish coats. We're told that Britney proudly took her shagerrific (and very real fur) coat at her birthday party in Bel Air.

PETA, as ever, took Liza to task for her outerwear, telling TMZ in a statement that it "hopes that Liza, who abstained from fur for years, gets back on the wagon of compassion." As for Sharon Stone, the anti-fur brigade was less charitable, saying, "Put your fur coat away, Sharon."

Reps for Eve, Sharon Stone, Liza and Madonna haven't yet gotten back to us about the provenance of their clients' coats.

One notable exception -- Sarah Jessica Parker, wearing a lovely Star Wars-esque fur coat, usually, we're told, wears fake fur.

1. smartypants #93 is PAID TO POST

1. The fur industry is not misrepresented The fur industry has tons of money, and pays people like smartypants to post all over the internet in favor of fur. Don't be fooled. The fur industry has much much more money than any animal group that depends on donations.

2. These celebs are not wearing deer skins. They are wearing chinchillas, foxes, and even large cats. 'Controlling the animal population' is not a factor in making Eva's fur coat. The person who posted as smarty pants is paid to post for the fur industry

3. Most fur comes from China where the animals are kept in tiny cages until they are electrocuted or strangled. Chinese furriers also have no problem with skinning animals alive. I have been to the live animal markets in China and have seen this first hand.

4. Most people who speak out on animal causes, are also the same ones who speak out for human issues. Anyone who has ever seen a fox in real life, knows that they are beautiful creatures. It makes many people sad to know that these animals were in tiny cages for month after month, barely able to move, and then electrocuted, gassed, or strangled, just so that Eva Longoria could wear a coat made of its fur.

4. Madonna's "fake" fur is probably "racoon dog" as we call them...not fake at all...

5. As a Member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) I applaud the fur.
Animals were put on this planet for us to exploit!

8. Faux can look real. But, it must be from France where they make tissavel fur.
Pam McCoy makes it. I have one and people swear it's real. I got so many
people looking I felt like putting a sign up saying this is faux forks!

The faux I was wearing cost 900.00 yes they can be expensive. But, it is warm and
looks good! You never know who is wearing what. I love furbabies. So, it's faux for
me.

9. People have no idea what PETA is all about. If given the opportunity, they'd rather slit the throat of your lovely kitty-kat or puppy dog and KILL them, rather than see them as a "pet." They're SO not what they make themselves out to be. I work for a dog rescue, and boy could I tell you some stories. Once when rescuing dogs from a closed-down shelter, PETA was called to help with the rescue. All dogs were healthy and adoptable. They offered to send an employee there with enough drugs to put all of the animals down. That is how they "help." Uh... no thanks. Freaks.

I'm just saying.

As for the fur thing- before you big mouths start bashing Sharon and Brit, just remember you are probably no different than they are. Anyone wearing leather shoes, carrying a leather wallet or purse, have leather seats in your car, a leather belt etc., etc., or if you take ANY kind of medicine for anything (which is all tested on animals at some point).... then you are just the same as them. So shut up.

12. When I read the comments for pro fur it makes me so sad. I don't know why people are ok with torturing animals. Why are people so selfish and cruel?

13. Oh who cares? I am so sick of these shallow celebs who preach against wearing fur and killing animals, and they could care less about humans killing off each other.

14. And pimp, congratulations for being FIRST. Enjoy your three minutes of fame. The other kindergartners are so jealous.

15. Who is PETA or TMZ to tell people what they should and should not wear? And why does TMZ give PETA a voice?

I do not wear fur, just, well I don't care to. However I am seriously thinking about buying a fur jacket. I hate it when people try to push their ideals onto others.
