PETA's worst dressed list includes Eva Longoria, Kylie Minogue and Lindsay Lohan
PETA has given the crown of worst dressed celebrity of the year to Miss Aretha Franklin. Lauren already talked about how Queen of Soul is notorious for mistreating her ladies, but apparently she's also notorious for mistreating animals via wearing fur. PETA says, "How 'bout some R-E-S-P-E-C-T for animals? Aretha, when you waddled into the Grammys in yet another vulgar fur, you looked as if you were going to perform 'I Am the Walrus' by the Beatles. You might be a queen, but you don't know jack about compassion."And that's not once, but twice in the past month that they have attacked Aretha for her weight. PETA recently sent her an open letter saying, "Music lovers may think of you as a 'queen,' but to animal lovers, you are a court jester . . . Why not shed the old-fashioned look that adds pounds to your frame and detracts from your beautiful voice?"
Really, was it necessary to bring up Aretha's extra poundage? I think PETA could get their point across without going there.
Coming in as runners up on PETA's annual worst dress online poll are Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, Kylie Minogue, Kate Moss and Marilyn Manson. Respectively, PETA calls Lindsay Lohan "skanky," Kate Moss is a "super tramp" and Eva Longoria is a "streetwalker."
I guess PETA just wanted to remind us why they aren't known for their subtleness. Remember their parody of the Olsen's? They have a whole website called "Meet the Trollsen Twins."
Really, I think it's silly that PETA thinks attacking celebs will stop them from wearing fur. Don't get me wrong, I'm not big on wearing anything that was once cute and furry either. Cruelty to animals is not the answer, but nor is cruelty to celebrities. Make love, not war, PETA!

PETA is crazy. If you don't want to wear fur - then don't wear it! But don't try to infringe your beliefs upon others and tell them they shouldn't wear it or decide to call them skanks, streetwalkers, etc. because they wear fur. Huh, how old are these people who belong to PETA 10? Certainly no older than 15! These people just want something to jump on a bandwagon about. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these same people who slam people for wearing fur are enjoying steaks and pork chops for dinner. They probably have all kinds of leather shoes and purses and use all sorts of products tested on animals - make-up, prescription meds, who knows what else. Many celebrities jump on the PETA bus claiming to want animals protected but they live in all of these areas that used to be highly populated by animals but animals were driven out by construction. They don't care about that as long as they have a beautiful home in the valley or on a hilltop!!
