Animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) has struck again.
But this time the overzealous group isn’t targeting its favorite celebrity, Britney Spears; rather the group is going after another pop diva—-Beyonce Knowles.
Only it’s not what you think. PETA has decided to make peace with the singing sensation claiming the entertainer has ended her love affair with fur.
According to PETA, Beyonce once sat at the top of the group’s “hit list” because of her frequent use of fur products, including a collection of fur coats and fur-lined boots. PETA’s attack on the singer made headlines when a member of the animal rights group placed a winning auction bid to have lunch with the “Dreamgirls” star, only to confront her with video footage showing animals being skinned for fur.
For whatever reason the group has decided Beyonce is now fur-free and to celebrate their discovery PETA sent the singer a fake fur throw as a wedding present to commemorate her reported marriage to Jay-Z last week. The note enclosed in the gift box reportedly wished the newlyweds happiness and asked them to stay a “fur-free couple.”
Hmm… I have a few ideas as to how Beyonce is using PETA’s gift.
MARIAH MAKES PEACE WITH HER BODY
Grammy winner Mariah Carey is scheduled to appear on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” Monday. According to producers, the singer will be performing her latest single and discussing what’s it’s like to make music history.
However, despite the show not saying as much, I would be surprised if Carey didn’t mention the fitness video she is hoping to release to show the world how she successfully shed almost 30 pounds.
Carey just returned from a press tour that took her around the world. During her travels the “Dream Lover” singer addressed questions regarding the strict training regime she claims helped her lose weight and improve her body image.
“I think people should be a size where they’re comfortable with but when you’re constantly having your picture taken and on TV like I am, well I could see I really did need to lose some of the bulk,” Carey told reporters.
So how did she drop the “bulk?”
I guess we’ll have to buy her new workout video to find out unless she spills the beans to Oprah.
