From Brit to Liza, Fur Flies for Femmes

Posted Dec 4th 2007 2:02PM by TMZ Staff

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.

31. The FDIC does not regulate free range or organic. So I hope the people who are trying to make money off these products are being honest.

32. You’re for the torture and killing of innocent animals just because you don’t like PETA??? That’s just idiotic. If you need to feed your starving family or about to freeze to death in the frozen tundra that’s a different story. But since all of you at least have enough money to own a computer, you have no excuse. Please don’t be pig headed just because you can.

33. OMG, I can't believe it.....somebody besides me telling the truth about PETA. You have made my day, it's a flippin' miracle!

34. Agian, why when we talk about animal rights I have to be doing something for human rights. I do donate to other causes, but it again confirms that people do not respect other life on this planet. Give animals a break....they need it. If we did not eat as much meat we would not produce all these animals. Therefore the grain that would feed the animals can feed starving people all over the wold. Just do a little research and learn about what you are eating and wearing. It affects all of us.

By the way, I meant FDA not FDIC in my above comment.

35. P.S. Grain does not nourish people adequately. They need animal sources of protein. If you're going to spew propaganda, check your facts first...oh, wait, you're fanatics who make up your own facts to suit your beliefs.

Go away.

36. Genesis 1:26-28 pretty much sums it up.

Oh, that's a book of the Bible, and those are Bible verses, just in case someone is wondering.

37. Fur does a body good!.....skru PETA.

38. Cynic,
Your right we are just trying to give you a load of bull. The Factory farms and the fur people are telling you the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Don't forget Mad cow.

39. Cynic is right. Peta are wackos. Just a bunch or spoiled ass brats with too much time on their hands. Get a real job Peta people so you don't have to spend time vandalizing and terrorizing the rest of us to get your point across. We're not deaf. We're just ignoring you!

40. They need a beaver fur pie since none of them wear panties

41. Animals die. That's life. And I think most people who are into animal rights realize that. The problem for most people is HOW these animals are killed. SOME animals (not all) are skinned alive, drowned or electrocuted for their fur. Just because you don't like Peta doesn't mean you have to support animal torture. And just because some people are into animal rights doesn't mean they don't care about people. You can care about and help both, it doesn't have to be one or the other.

42. In Europe All the women wear fur. What's the difference between killing an animal for fur or killing one for meat. None of it is humane. Eat a pita or eat a pie and wear cotton.

43. Wearing fur has nothing to do with being femme. But it has been a very successful marketing gimmick by the sellers.

44. Will someone tell these women that fur makes them look FAT & OLD!!

They look awful

I would suggest that all of you uneducated followers who think fur is cool.....just because you have no life of your own and live vicariously through your movie star idols...

take just a peek at the web site above....
then perhaps we can debate

AND all you PETA haters!! PETA has done more to raise awareness of animal abuse, care and welfare in the past 20 years than any other organization.
