Move Over Kim Kardashian..


A new Kardashian is in town! In a new anti-fur ad for PETA, Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality TV star Khloe Kardashian disrobes and shows off her posterior. Next to the star, 24, is the tagline "Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked."

Khloe is the latest starlet to "Get Naked" for the campaign in an effort to raise awareness about cruelty to animals. Most media outlets are claiming that she was photoshopped pretty well, but we'll give her the benefit of the doubt! We think she looks pretty fierce, so we'll make this our PCM Picture Of The Day, why not?

Who wants some cake?

Love. Ain't it grand. Seeing such tenderness in pictures puts a ray of sunshine in my otherwise cold, black heart. It really does.

On Friday night in Paris, France, PETA volunteers dropped a bag of flour on Lindsay Lohan, and LiLo's girl-toy Samantha Ronson is none too pleased with this...so she did what any self-respecting woman would do and kvetched about it on MySpace.

If you want to read the whole thing (it's LOOOOOONG), click HERE, but here's the important parts:

PETA should focus their efforts on educating people on what they believe are injustices instead of seeking press via harassing those in the limelight. I received an apology too many days late from the PETA folks (the blog removal was too little too late) and today I'm pissed at the bag of flour thrown on Lindsay last night. Not because I got powdered down, but because the girl who threw it acted like an animal herself. I take that back, it's an insult to animals to group her in with them, my dog is FAR more civilized than that person. I would have more respect for them if they didn't use other people to get their point across. Lindsay, Mary Kate, Ashley Olsen, Anna Wintour and the rest of the targeted celebrities aren't the problem, I'm pretty sure they're not the only ones wearing fur, in fact, they should be appreciated by PETA for giving them a target. If it weren't for them, who would get them press?????

I know I'm probably going to get a lot of angry emails in response, but I don't really care. I got enough last week for no reason so I'm more than happy to ignore the nastiness after seeing what I saw last night. I'm not about to throw on a fur coat in retaliation, but had I had one within reach, I'm not sure I would have walked away from it.

p.s. when was the last time you saw an animal attack one of its own in defense of a human? hmmmmm..... that's one to grow on!

p.s.s. i think there are plenty of families that could have used that flour for a meal. nice job, lady.


That last phrase is kinda interesting...I mean, I'm a huge animal rights activist, and I certainly don't condone violence of any kind, but it's not like PETA threw flour, eggs, milk, and...who wants cake?

PETA's Worst Dressed Celebs


For 2008, PETA has updated its Worst Dressed List beyond just fur coats. While many celebs have learned that wearing fur is taboo, they have not worked past exotic leathers and skins. Python skinned bags and alligator covered pumps were all the rage this season and celebrities were not shy about stepping out with their favorite crocodile clutch.

This year’s biggest fashion offender went to Aretha Franklin. PETA asked for more R-E-S-P-E-C-T towards animals from the queen soul and criticized her for consistently stepping out in giant fur coats. Also making the list was Marilyn Manson for his many head to toe leather ensembles. PETA also called out Kylie Minogue for her hoards of leather skinned bags. Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, and Eva Longoria also were featured for filling their wardrobes with fur pieces.

PETA asks that celebrities set the example and help save the animals from not just dying but the excruciating pain that goes along with harvesting their skins. Other celebs, such as Pamela Anderson and Christina Applegate have stepped out in support of PETA’s efforts, posing nude in anti-fur and pro-vegetarian ads.
