PETA Awards Celebrity Grinches

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has awarded the worse accolades for celebrities this side of the Razzies – the “Celebrity Grinch Awards.” This the first year for PETA’s “Celebrity Grinch Awards,” co-sponsored by the World Entertainment News Network, and the awards are used to call out the most animal-unfriendly celebrities of the year.

Nicholson was but a babe of thirty-two when he appeared in Easy Rider. He was thirty-eight when he won … Continue reading

Kim Kardashian Gets Pelted

Reality star Kim Kardashian and PETA have tangled in the past due to her love of real fur. So, when I read the other day that Kardashian had been pelted on the Red Carpet last Thursday with a bag of flour, I just assumed someone from PETA was behind it.

PETA activists have been known to throw flour in the past, but this time PETA denied any connection to the woman. However, the organization did pipe up after Kardashian said she planned to press charges against her … Continue reading
