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.

91. Truly foul. They look like Wookies - is that the look they were going for?

Fashionable, my ass.

92. These celebs really need to sit down and watch undercover investigative footage of what goes on in fur farms... animals being skinned alive, genitally electrocuted, stomped on while fully conscious... It's such a shame when people use their celebrity status to promote vicious cruelty to animals.

93. What ever happened to a good cloth coat? Layers of cotton keep you the warmest. If you still have to let everyone know how much money you have, why not pin $100 bills to your good cloth coat.

94. Sorry people, but I think fur coats on ladies are actually pretty attractive and appealing--especially the right coat on the right woman. In fact, I find fake fur to be cheesy looking, like someone is trying to be something they are not. The fur industry has been entirely misrepresented by PETA and other organizations. These people spew a tale to the masses that is designed to invoke an emotional response (which it does quite often). This is how they raise funds to pay their employees and well-paid officers. The problem is that emotional responses very often have little basis in reality. Legitimate fur industry practices are actually approved by the American Veterinary Association. Wild animal populations are controlled, in part, through the fur industry. Without regulated hunting and trapping, many animal populations would grow to unhealthy levels, resulting in disease, starvation and even additional deaths on our highways. Learn the facts and do not get all of your information on this, or any, topic from one source. PETA was already found guilty in Europe of faking its videos; they were taken to court over this and lost. In other words, people, they fabricated their "evidence".
