Former "Real Housewives of New York" star Cindy Barshop has heard the cries of the anti-fur community and had a change of heart -- she's going to make her new line of luxury merkins fur-free!

As TMZ first reported, the "RHONY" is selling the pubic wigs at her NYC waxing salon, Completely Bare. One of the merkins used real fox fur -- which, according to our sources, drew lots of hate mail and threats in Cindy's direction.

So, we're told, plans to use the real fox fur have been scrapped and instead she'll go with faux fur.

Lindsay Lohan and her left nipple did a little shopping yesterday, hitting up the jewelry store XIV Carats in Beverly Hills.

With shackles around her ankles ... "Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans shuffled her way into a North Carolina courtroom wearing a lovely black and white striped ensemble provided by the Brunswick County Jail.

As we previously reported, Evans was arrested yesterday for violating a domestic violence protective order. Jenelle's lawyer tells us the allegation is that Evans' ex-roommate received a text from Jenelle ... despite an order prohibiting contact.

Jenelle's lawyer says the MTV star denies any wrongdoing.

Despite her smiling mug shot from Monday evening ... Evans appeared pretty upset during today's appearance. Evans was released from custody after posting $1,000 bond. She's due back in court on Feb. 6th.

Last week, the 20-year-old was arrested for allegedly making harassing phone calls and threatening her ex-roommate. On top of all that, Jenelle is still on probation for beating up some chick last year.

Jenelle's two-year-old son is currently in the custody of her mother.

While on a trip to Mumbai on Monday, Oprah Winfrey got all decked out in a chic sari, the silk garment popular with women in India.

Feathers aren't just for birds anymore ... they're also perfect for vaginas ... this according to former "Real Housewives of New York" star Cindy Barshop.

Cindy has created two new lines of luxury merkins ... which she's now selling at her NY waxing salon -- Completely Bare.

The first line is called the Foxy Bikini, in which the bikini line is waxed bare and replaced with a pubic wig made from real fox fur. They come in a variety of colors ... including traditional pink!

For those who desire a more festive flower -- Cindy also offers the Carnivale Bikini ... in which the pubic region is decorated with feathers in a variety of colors!

But a fancy hoo-ha don't come cheap -- starting price for the Carnivale is $195 and the Foxy is $30 extra.

Here's "Fashion Police" host Kelly Osbourne sportin' an unfortunate hairdo of various shades of gray at the Golden Globes on Sunday (left) -- and the always stylish Helen Mirren at the same event (right).

Only one is 66-years-old.

Rocking some interesting blue hair, Katy Perry was spotted out in public on Thursday for the first time since splitting with estranged husband Russell Brand two weeks ago.

The 27-year-old "California Gurl" was all smiles as she posed with a fan while on the set of an Adidas commercial she is filming in Santa Barbara.

As TMZ previously reported, Katy will continue living in the former couple's $6.5 million Hollywood Hills home and Russell will move out.

While Russell filed for divorce after only 14 months of marriage, he and Katy are said to still be on reasonably good terms.

Like a good auntie, Kelly Rowland went shopping for a gift for Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby girl Blue Ivy Carter in NYC on Monday.

The former Destiny's Child member hit up the Lucky Wang baby boutique and picked up a green Bob Marley onesie.

Just because she's very very pregnant with a bulging baby bump doesn't mean Jessica Simpson can't show off her muscular mom legs in sky high stiletto heels.

The 31-year-old mother-to-be flashed her growing belly and long stems in a printed mini-dress and a ridiculously tall pair of black stripper pumps while leaving a medical building in Beverly Hills on Thursday. Jess has killer maternal fashion instincts.

The singer/actress/style maven and her NFL fiancé Eric Johnson are expecting their first little rug rat sometime in the spring.

Former "Real Housewives of NYC" star Jill Zarin ain't bitter she got the boot from the show -- telling TMZ, she's still got a filthy rich husband ... and she proved it by flashing the $19,000 ring he bought her last month at Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry collection.

Honestly, we have no idea how she walked around with that thing last night in New York -- because it's freaking MASSIVE ... a gemstone the size of a baby's fist, designed by famed jeweler Zohrab Istanboulian, and once worn by Liz Taylor herself.

The ET auction took place last month in NYC -- and you may recall ... rich people of all shapes and sizes were at each other's throats to get their grubby mitts on the late legend's bling.

Erin Andrews got caught in a tight situation at the Rose Bowl yesterday ... in the shape of her form-fitting mom slacks.

Andrews was patrolling the sidelines in Pasadena as the Oregon Ducks rolled over the Wisconsin Badgers in a 45 to 38 shootout.

From Baltimore to Washington to Atlanta ... people waiting in lines for the new Nike Air Jordan shoe are getting CRAZY violent -- except at the Beverly Center in Los Angeles where PATIENCE IS RUNNING RAMPANT!!

TMZ spoke with several people at the Bev Center who have been waiting in line for hours ... and some for days ... and they all seem to say the same thing -- it's been cold, but everyone has been extremely cordial.

It seems to be a sharp contrast from other shoe lines across the country -- so far, there have been reports of pepper spraying at a mall in Washington, a brawl in Kentucky and girl fights in North Carolina.

The fine folks at Louis Vuitton are suing Warner Bros. for using knockoff L.V. luggage in Hangover II ... and they want the movie pulled until the scene is removed.

The movie features Zach Galifianakis' character -- Alan -- instructing Stu not to mess with his luggage, warning, "Careful, that is ... that is a Louis Vuitton." BTW, in the movie, the S in Louis is not silent. Funny.

Two problems. First, L.V. claims Warner Bros. never got permission to use its precious and valuable trademark. Second, the luggage in the movie is a knockoff, or so LV claims. Again, funny but problematic.

Louis Vuitton wants damages, and an injunction prohibiting Warner Bros. from distributing the movie as long as the luggage is in the flick.

No word from Warner Bros. yet. Seems we're the only ones working today.

The Kardashian family is preparing for war -- gearing up to unleash a legal attack on everyone who claimed their clothing line is manufactured in child slave labor sweat shops in China ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the family tell us ... Kris Jenner is furious -- claiming the guy who runs the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights had no right to accuse the Kardashian brands of wrongdoing because he has no tangible proof to back up his claims.

Kris must have seen I.G.L.H.R. honcho Charles Kernaghan on "TMZ Live" Wednesday -- when he flat out admitted he didn't actually go to the factories in question ... and is making the ASSUMPTION based on years of research on the Chinese manufacturing industry.

Jenner also believes Star Magazine's cover -- which screamed "Kardashian Sweatshop Scandal" -- was not only unfair ... but libelous ... and it should have to pay for any damage that has been caused to the brand's reputation.

As TMZ previously reported, Kris -- along with one of their manufacturing companies -- adamantly deny the use of child slave labor in their factories ... insisting they have people who are constantly patrolling for any possible violations.

The human rights activist who claims Kardashian clothing items are made by child slaves in China just told TMZ ... he's never actually been to the factory where the Kardashian gear is made.

Charles Kernaghan -- the head of the Institute for Global Labor and Human Rights -- called in to "TMZ Live" today and said because he's been investigating factories in China for years ... he feels comfortable ASSUMING the place is a sweat shop.

The leader of the human rights group quoted in a story implying the Kardashians use "slave labor" to manufacture their clothes and shoes says the story is misleading.

Charles Kernaghan, Executive Director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, tells TMZ, he told Star Magazine, "It was a wise idea to wait on the article," because he had no proof that the specific factories the Kardashians use violated child labor standards or human rights.

Star's headline reads, "Kardashian Sweatshop Scandal: Family's Fashion Empire Makes Millions from Child Labor." Kernaghan is quoted as saying, "The Kardashians are in bed with some pretty bad people ... Not only are celebrities like the Kardashians taking advantage of these workers, they are holding hands with a government that spits on democracy and women's rights."

Kernaghan tells us ... his quotes were taken out of context ... that the violations he described to Star apply to the REGION in China where clothing and other items are manufactured. He says child labor practices in many of the factories are appalling, but he has no proof the specific factories the Kardashians use employ such practices.

Kernaghan says his organization is investigating the factories the Kardashians use, but so far he has NO EVIDENCE of any human rights abuses.

Kernaghan does say ... 75% of the factories in the region have violations similar to the ones described in Star.

Kris Jenner tells TMZ ... the factories the Kardashians use are "strictly policed" and there are no child labor or human rights violations.

We put a call in to Star. So far ... no response.
