10 Celebrities Who Love Wearing Fur

PETA will not be happy with this list of 10 celebrities who are open about their love for fur and wear it all the time. I myself don’t mind people wearing fur I think it’s up to the person on what they want to wear and nobody should have a right to throw paint on somebody. I myself don’t wear fur because I think it looks tacky, but lets take a look at those celebrities who are open about it….

1 & 2. Kanye West & Amber Rose

Kanye is known for his tirades, which include a long rant after he was criticized for wearing fur by PETA. In one of his famous all-caps blogs, he wrote: “I’m briefly saddened by negative comments, but I have to remember those people are scared, incapable or just plain idiots. We are the f—ing rock stars baby. No cocaine, just life my n—as!” And it turns out Kanye’s girlfriend Amber Rose is a fan of fur too — what a perfect match!

3. Lindsay Lohan

The sloppy star has been a target for PETA for years. In November 2008, a French activist may have gone too far though, shouting “fur hag” at Lindsay Lohan before ceremoniously dumping a bag of flour over her head.

4. Diddy

He’s been a fan of fur for a long time, but Diddy really took some heat when it was revealed that a jacket from his Sean John line carried raccoon dog fur, instead of faux fur as advertised. He quickly apologized and removed the jackets from stores.

5. Naomi Campbell

Naomi modeled for PETA in the iconic “We’d rather go naked than wear fur” ad in 1994, but changed her mind last year, modeling a sable coat for designer Dennis Basso. She told paparazzi, “I am still wearing fur, but I’ve made up with that guy from PETA.”

6. Mary J. Blige

MJ loves her fur, and she famously warned PETA activists not to try anything with her in 2008, saying, “Those PETA people don’t want to mess with me, they don’t want to throw paint on my coat because it’s not just going to be throwing paint. It’s going to be Mary in the news the next day, you know what I mean? What gives them the right to destroy someone’s coat because their opinion is that you shouldn’t wear animals? Understand what I’m saying?”

7. Eva Longoria

This Desperate Housewife isn’t just a pretty girl in fur, she boasts that she can hunt too! “I can skin a deer and a pig and a snake – and rabbits,” Eva told Oprah Winfrey. She took some hits from PETA and the media, but the pint-sized star refused to back down and continues to wear fur.

8. Jennifer Lopez

J. Lo was targeted by PETA, to the point where protesters even showed up to the premiere of her film Monster-in-Law with signs calling her a “monster-in-fur.” When asked what she thinks about PETA and the protestors, Jennifer just said, “I don’t.”

9. Johnny Weir

Three-time national figure skating champion Johnny Weir flaunts his love of fur on the ice and on his reality show “Be Good Johnny Weir.” During the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, he received so many threats that he was forced to stay in the Olympic village instead of a hotel. And how does Johnny see it? “I’m just an easy person to pick on because I like fur,” he said.

10. Kelis

Kelis has been picked on by PETA for years, but it doesn’t bother her. While she thinks that “there is no humane way to kill anything,” she still stands by her decision to wear fur. “If I started wearing endangered animals like polar bear or orangutan then talk to me (which for the record I would not – I do believe in the preservation of endangered species). But the minks and chinchilla that quite honestly are rodents and if [they] weren’t in the form of a coat, I would demand they be put to death anyway,” she wrote.

Kate Moss, Brooke Shields and Rachel Zoe aren’t featured on this list because they’ve all been open about loving fur in the past. Where do you stand on the whole fur debate?
