Gwyneth Paltrow’s Hairy Situation
Gwyneth Paltrow has now joined the ranks of Sharon Stone and the Olsen twins as one of PETA’s most-loathed celebrities.
Paltrow’s participation in an ad campaign for Italian designer Tod—in which she covers herself in fur and wears fur-lined boots—has critter-huggers everywhere screaming for her pale little head.
“Gwyneth Paltrow should be ashamed. I can only assume that Paltrow either is ignorant of the facts or lacks human decency and compassion,” rails Mark Glover, director of Respect for Animals.
A spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals adds, “We’ve written to her many times, and sent her videos showing how animals suffer for fur, but have never received a response.”
As of press time, Citizens For Our Betterment had yet to issue a statement regarding Paltrow’s ad.
A Paltrow spokesman was unavailable for comment, but maybe the animal-rights people should cut Gwynnie some slack. She’ll need whatever cash she made from the ad to buy therapy for her cross-dressing son, and her amiable rapport with the animal kingdom is well-documented.
OK… YOU WRITE SOMETHING ON HER INSENSITIVITY TO ANIMALS, TO WHICH I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE. BUT YOU END THE ARTICLE WITH BASHING HER “SON” FOR CROSS DRESSING? I MEAN SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU MAKING FUN OR TRYING TO MAKE SOME RIDICULOUS POINT BY BASHING PEOPLE FOR WEARING WHAT THE HECK THEY WANT? BE VERY CAREFUL IN WHO OR WHAT YOU THINK NEEDS STANDING UP FOR. INSENSITIVE IS INSENSITIVE AND YOU LOSE ALL RESPECT ON YOUR STANCE WHEN YOU WASTE IT IN BASHING OTHER GROUPS OR SITUATIONS!
