PETA thinks Aretha Franklin is no queen of soul

NEW YORK – PETA thinks Aretha Franklin is no queen of soul when it comes to wearing fur. Franklin was crowned this year’s worst-dressed celebrity by the animal rights organization. Her crime: wearing “yet another vulgar fur” at the Grammy Awards.

“… you looked as if you were going to perform `I Am the Walrus’ by the Beatles,” People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said Wednesday of Franklin’s appearance. “You might be a queen, but you don’t know jack about compassion.”

“How ’bout some R-E-S-P-E-C-T for animals?” PETA added.

The other offenders are Marilyn Manson, Eva Longoria (“in her trashy furs, she looks like the streetwalker of Wisteria Lane”), Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss and Kylie Minogue.

PETA called Minogue cold-blooded for toting a python purse. As for Lohan, the group remarked: “`I Know Who Killed Me’ isn’t just the title of Lindsay Lohan’s latest bomb, it’s the cry of the animals snuffed out so this `Mean Girl’ can pose in their pelts.”

Christina Ricci, Martha Stewart and Alicia Keys have said they’ve given up wearing fur since being singled out by PETA in previous years.

PETA asked people to vote on the Web site Fur Is Dead.

The group said it took Britney Spears out the running because they didn’t want to kick her while she’s down.

Ohhh… I guess next time they should think very carefully about their dress to wear if they have animals’ skin or fur on it, or else they will get another worst-dressed award. Well, if I will want to get an award and I can see that there are very good and tough competitions then I will wear Crocodile skin shoes and a pair of elephant tusk on my head with American eagle feathers around my neck matching with another python purse and Ewwwww…. I got an award from PETA and everyone will check me out. Ahahahah… no way I can’t even describe my looks with that.
