 Liza's
Fur Lands Her on "Worst Dressed" List
“If Her Hubby Fakes It, She Can,” Says PETA
Liza Minnelli’s affinity for fur has landed
her in the #1 spot atop PETA’s annual “Worst-Dressed”
List, which takes celebrities to task for their fur-wearing ways.
Snaps PETA about Liza: “The sobering reality is that animals
endure immense cruelty before they become fur coats. PETA hopes that
Liza, who abstained from fur for years, gets back on the wagon of
compassion. If her hubby fakes it, surely she can.”
Axl Rose is in the #2 spot on this year’s list.
The faded rock star is so set on wearing fur that he recently stormed
away from New York nightclub Spa rather than respect the club’s
strict “no fur” policy. News reports speculated that Axl’s
fur flap may have precipitated the meltdown of his much-hyped tour,
which was called off just hours later, making his “comeback”
as much of a non-event as the fur on his back.
Rounding out PETA’s 2003 Worst-Dressed List are the following:
3. Sharon Stone—Without a hit movie to flog,
furry Sharon is pushing Stone Age fashion. Could it be a play for
attention, as when she grabbed the mike during Richard Gere’s
acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards (remember that God-awful
leather lion-tamer getup)? Or when she wrapped a reporter in her fur?
Where are your “basic instincts,” Sharon?

4. Lara Flynn Boyle—If
you’re dying to look thinner, Lara, don’t starve
yourself—shed your skin—like all fur coats, it adds
20 pounds. |
 |
5. Macy Gray— Hey, if
she bombs with another bad album and needs the dough, at least
she’s already dressed to walk the streets. |
 |
6. Miss Universe, Justine Pasek—“As
goodwill ambassador, I …” will promote animals’
being gassed, poisoned, and beaten to death? Sometimes beauty
really is only skin deep. |
 |
7. Lenny Kravitz—He’s
a real fox. We’d rather see him go naked than wear real
fur. |
 |
8. Star Jones—In
all that fur, is she out to prove that Bigfoot isn’t a
hoax after all? |
Fur-wearers notably missing from PETA’s list are Madonna
and Jennifer Lopez. Madonna is a former fur foe,
and in spite of her indiscretions (she was recently hassled by her
designer friend Stella McCartney for wearing a coat
made of lamb fetuses), she has just banned hunting from her estate,
and PETA hopes that she’ll carry the sentiment over to her wardrobe.
J. Lo’s fiancé, Ben Affleck, is a well-known
animal lover and will not buy furs for his bride-to-be. PETA predicts
that Ben’s compassion will rub off on J. Lo.
