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?
The women of Desperate Housewives have released a joint statement in regards to Nicollette Sheridan‘s recent allegations that series creator Marc Cherry smacked her over the head and then fired her for wanting to report him to ABC Executives, and guess what they are standing right by him.
Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher and Marcia Cross issued the statement last night announcing that they are standing by their paycheck boss and say the set is a very happy environment.
“It would be irresponsible of us to let the public believe that being a part of this show from its inception has been anything but a blessing. We have no first-hand knowledge of what Nicolette may or may not have experienced, but we would never characterize our set as a hostile environment. It is, in fact, the opposite. The friendships and support that Marc Cherry, the cast, the crew and the producers have shared for the past six years have made this a wonderful job that we are grateful for every day.â€
Teri decided being a part of just one statement wasn’t enough because she then issued her own statement, probably because Nicollette singled her out and said that Marc also abused her. Here is what she had to say:
“While my adoration and respect for the classic and dynamic chemistry of the characters of Susan and Edie is indelible, I’m honored to stand with Eva, Felicity and Marcia, as a group and clarify that our set environment is nothing less than an amazingly positive experience. I have never felt discriminated against. In fact, I have felt heard and respected by Marc and other executives in regards to both my professional and personal needs.”
I knew it was only a matter of time before they all released a statement giving their dying love towards Marc Cherry, there is no way in hell they would have spoken out about him or said the allegations are true. They only care about their paychecks and if they did speak any bad words they would have been next to be axed.

Forbes have release their prime time top earning women list from June 1, 2008 to June 1, 2009. When coming up with the list they take into account earnings from television work, producing, movie work and any endorsements.
10. Ellen Pompeo (tie) – $6 million
Now in its sixth season, viewers still tune in to see the latest as Pompeo’s Meredith Grey simultaneously pushes away and pines after her husband, Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd, on ABC’s medical hit. Off camera, the Massachusetts native gave birth to her first child with her producer husband Chris Ivery.
10. Jennifer Love Hewitt – $6 million
Hewitt’s CBS star vehicle rolled out its fifth season last month. As she’s done in seasons past, she serves as a producer and lead actor on the female-friendly series. The former Party of Five star also shills pimple cream and other products for skincare company Proactiv.
9. Marcia Cross – $6.2 million
Cross’ comedic turn as the all-too-perfect Bree Van De Kamp on ABC’s hit series has earned her critical accolades, countless fans and a $225,000 per episode paycheck. Off set, she took on a role as a Motts spokeswoman.
8. Tina Fey – $7 million
Despite just 7 million weekly viewers–up 10% from last season–Fey’s comedy consistently garners critical and award-show praise. Still more impressive, she serves as creator, writer and star. She grabbed gobs of attention last fall for her impersonations of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. In addition to striking a lucrative book deal during the 12-month period, she also filmed Date Night, a romantic comedy opposite fellow NBC star Steve Carell.
6. Maura Tierney – $8 million (tie)
As nurse turned doctor Abby Lockhart, Tierney spent a decade stitching up bodies at County General Hospital on NBC’s long-running medical drama ER. After a lengthy and lucrative run, the series and its fictional hospital finally closed its doors this past spring. The Emmy-nominated actress had grand plans to take on a new NBC drama, the upcoming Parenthood, before bowing out for health reasons.
6. Julia Louis-Dreyfus – $8 million (tie)
While its hardly Seinfeld money, Dreyfus makes a more than a healthy living as the star of CBS’ Wednesday night comedy. She’s also seen money from Seinfeld residuals and a Seinfeld-themed guest arc on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. Lest it stop there, the famously goofy star also serves as spokeswoman for Conagra’s Healthy Choice.
5. Mariska Hargitay – $8.5 million
After 10 seasons on the NBC program, the Emmy-winning actress and co-star Chris Meloni found themselves in the middle of a protracted contract dispute this past spring. Off-camera, Hargitay also struggled with a collapsed lung.
4. Eva Longoria Parker – $9 million
The Desperate Housewives vixen may have shed her model body and sexpot image in the show’s leap forward, but she still commands a pretty paycheck. In addition to her $225,000 per episode payday last season, she rakes in additional dough with endorsements like L’Oreal Paris.
3. Marg Helgenberger – $9.5 million
The Emmy-winning actress recently launched her 10th season as showgirl turned blood-spatter analyst Catherine Willows on the lucrative CBS procedural. In an era where few shows deliver massive ratings much less massive profit, her series stands out.
Kathernie Heigl – $18 million
As cancer patient Izzie Stevens on the ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy, Heigl garnered tears and fans alike last season. Whether her character will ultimately survive the illness–and thus remain on the show–remains one of prime-time’s biggest guessing games. Over on the big-screen, the 30-year-old star appeared opposite Gerard Butler in another romantic comedy, The Ugly Truth. Proving her range, she’ll follow that with a starring role opposite Ashton Kutcher in the Lionsgate action comedy Five Killers.
Tyra Banks – $30 million
When it comes to supermodels turned super-personalities, Banks has her competition beat. Among the former cat-walker’s projects: her own production company, along with a slew of TV shows, including model competition series America’s Next Top Model, beauty competition show True Beauty and daytime chat-fest The Tyra Banks Show.
