Gwyneth Advocates Killing Cuddly Animals
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Gwyneth Paltrow
Can Gwyneth Paltrow get any more unlikeable????
Animal rights groups are up in arms about Gwennie's decision to whore for the Italian brand Tod's.
She's pictured in fox fur and wearing fur-lined boots in the company's new ad campaign.
Mark Glover, director of Respect for Animals, said, "Gwyneth Paltrow should be ashamed. I can only assume that Paltrow either is ignorant of the facts or lacks human decency and compassion."
The actress is married to vegetarian Chris Martin and has won praise for her impeccable green credentials and is a fan of holistic practices and yoga.
She's even super good friends with Stella McCartney, the animal rights activist who refuses to use fur or leather in her designs.
Did Gwennie sell out cuz she's desperate to get her face out there and Tod's were the only one calling? Doesn't seem like it.
She's just a money-grubbing whore!

ooooooooooo I can't stand that woman!
This just further proves everyone has a price in some form or another…
i love chris martin / coldplay, i'm surprised that he let her do the ad.
it will be interesting to hear her response. I normally wouldn't care….but she is so green and ethical in every other way so it is odd she wore fur and go paid for it!
Maybe the furs are fake?
or Maybe she was told the
fur was fake? don't believe anything
’til you get Gwen's side of the story?
First? Yay, me.
Anyway, ugh, she sucks.
I'm disappointed
i hate fur!!!
thats just WRONG!!!
you wear a DEAD animal!!!!
thats horrible!!!!
You eat roasts on Sunday, Mario. What's the difference? Yes, it's horrible to ignore the suffering of living things, but just don't care about the cute ones. All animals can feel pain and suffering, not just furry, cute ones but cows and chickens too. It's not that hard to become a vegetarian. Spend a day in a slaughter house, that will make it even easier
wow.. How is she friends with Stella? Makes me sick to my stomach! Stella throw her a bone and steal her away from the murderers and give her some animal rights literature. Gwyneth just must not get it. If she gets it, then what's that have to say of her character?
Re: Bettie – agreed
Lets hope she's ignorant and not just a bitch. wow. Of all the things to stand up for…..skinning and wearing animals as clothes is a pretty lame cause. Boo and I hate her!
This seems a little odd. She's so obsessively green normally that this seems really out of character. Maybe the fur is fake? Nothing wrong with fake fur.
What I always suspected has just been confirmed: She is as dumb as she looks.
Sigh… So, Perez, only the cuddly, cute animals deserved to be saved? The speech I really "love" comes from animal rights activists that care as much, if not more, for the life of an animal than the life of a human being. We really should pay more attention to all the messed up stuff we are doing to PEOPLE! When the whole Michael Vick thing went down, the first person I thought about was Leonard Little. Plays defensive end for the St. Louis Rams as we speak, yet was found guilty of VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER. He was only suspended for half the season, which, in case you have half a brain cell free to figure this out, is much less than the penalty issued to Vick for the cruel killing of ANIMALS. To say that what Vick did alright is ignorant, but it shows how much we focus on "cuddly little animals" over the rights of human beings in America. Backwards.
oh id kill for a sexy fur coat. you bitches are just prudes. hunters in the old days wore fur. cavemen wore fur. I LOVE FUR. dont hate.
lmao
PETA Sucks!!! Leave Gwennie alone!!! Madonna wers animal skin why don't you bash her Perez?!!
Jealous! you know fur is fabulous!
Eat shit douchies.
That coat looks comfy.
I'll take one with a side order of fox legs.
I have never liked this snobbish, uppity bitch so it's not surprising/ What a sell-out
I can't stand her. Chris deserves so much better!
There is nothing wrong with her wearing fur! God put animals on the earth for our use whether that be as pets, food, or clothing. We obviously shoudn't be cruel to them but killing them isn't cruelty!
Since when does everyone have to be an animal rights activist
get over it…it's not like she's the one who actually killed the animals. gwen rocks….dammit.
I don't care one way or another about her hawking fun products. She just seems like a twat.
maybe if you stitched some fur onto that ugly shit you're hawking over at hot topic they wouldn't be on the clearance rack.
Gorgeous pic, btw. She's not a great beauty yet looks like a model here.
It's actually part of her wardrobe for her new movie I think…go to the official Tods site to check it out…Dennis Hopper is directing it.
Jeez Perez. How many cows give their lives to make just one of your 2 yard long belts Fatboy?
That looks suspiciously like faux fur. Perez hates him some Gwyneth and has made that clear over the years. Let us not jump to conclusions (like Perez has).
I love how people here are justifying her behavior. It is not fake fur and clearly this lady does not really give a fuck about anyone else but herself. She was probably on the macrobiotic diet because it made HER healthy and look good. She is probably green (and really how green is she?) because she is concerned for HER kids future. Killing animals does not affect her or anyone close to her personally, so why would she give a damn? She is selfish and self-absorbed as she was way back when she came on to the scene.
OMG
She is doing Tods campaign because it is just one of the greatest brands…
This fur people should worry about people dying of starvation on africa, asia and south america… animals do not feel sad, or depressed. but human beings need food, fun, home, clothes(fur) and much much more to be happy
Why are we so tough on people who wear fur? It's silly and totally pointless. We don't chase people down the street for eating meat so why should we crucify people for wearing it….and at least animal leather/fur lasts and doesn't just get digested. It's a pointless and endless battle.
She's just looking for a way for ANYONE to notice her these days.
Ridiculous. Real women eat meat and wear fur. Stupid fucking activists, is it hurting you? no? then shut your stupid mouth
My comment is in regards to your "cuddly animals", and not for GP's fashion choices. You see the number one thing you're doing wrong is thinking of wild animals as cuddly. Bears for instance are a popular animal to misconstrue. Do you think of a grizzly as cuddly? Because a lot of people do until they come across one and it rips your throat right out of your body.
.
Wild animals are not cuddly. Take it from Roy.
This just in: RICH PEOPLE WEAR FUR
Like a fox has anything better to do.
I like her. I don't care what you say.
I rarely ever say this but… WHAT THE F@#K Gwenyth?? This from you is SO wrong!
Bitch!
Who photoshopped this pic? Lousy job!
Re: honey97431 – It's absolutely sick to wear fur. Maybe in the cave man days wearing skins of animals was all they could figure out to keep themselves war, but we are thousands of years ahead now. There are zillions of fabrics that are lighter, warmer, cleaner and do not require killing an animal.
Minks are killed by having electric rods rammed up their anuses. Legtraps, poison…you name it. Get educated. The entire fur industry is absolutely barbaric. Go online and check out where they skin dogs alive in China, then sell them to PDiddy and Kimora Simmons who use them as trim on hoodies and label it "faux fur.
You need to get educated. God did not put animals here for humans to torture and wear as decoration.
Some of the ignorant comments on here are ridiculous. As humans, we are not more entitled nor deserving of anything than any other living thing. I am an agnostic, but even I know that the Bible says that all creatures are created equal. People are so fucking selfish, it's disgusting. The way we treat our planet is disgusting.
What a cunt.
Perfect example of how a public imagine doesn't meet someone's acutal awareness. FYI - being a veg & practicing yoga doesn't equal awareness. Sad cause I thought she walked the walk.
Re: VivaLaJen – What do you mean "…LET her do the ad"?!?
whatever. i really dont like her, never have. something about her irks me. i think chris could do better
So what? Fur is amazing. J
Re: honey97431 –
Types like you are the reason we collectively suffer. 'Dominion over the earth' is an ignorant view swallowed by those that cannot embrace the fact that we are also animals. Let me guess, you're in college, no kids, spoon fed the Bible & have eaten it up as truth??… You fail.
NO DIFFERENT THAN EATING A BURGER. Look up factory farming.
shut your cake whole, Perez. Gwyneth can do no wrong. Is every item in YOUR house leather-free? Do you buy groceries that come from animal by-products where the animals are farmed in less than satisfactory conditions? Do you research every single thing you buy to make sure it's 100% "green"? Whatever you believe - in God or in Darwin's natural selection - animals are below us on the food chain.
What does Chris martin see in her she is a aweful person to wear fox fur its so sad im not a vegatarian but she is a role model and is in the spot light she is suppose to do the right thing i guess she wants exposure but i hope she doesnt get hired.
Bliss - the Bible doesn't say "all 'creatures' are created equal" dumb-ass… it says "all MEN are created equal."
Gwenyth was never the sharpest tool im the shed, even though she looks liek a Patrician princess.
She'll bring visibility to a brand that is so backward that it still thinks animal cruelty is okay of it's done for "fashion". Their sales are NOT going to be helped by the use of Gwynnie to pedal their carcasses.
Actually I do have kids and I am educated. I have gone to 4 years of college and I have three children ages 6,4,2. I have been married for 6 years and I have owned 2 dogs, 2 horses and a cat and even I love them I still don't have a problem with fur. I guess you would rather see animals dead on the side of the road from overpopulation than on a coat but I could care less.
Re: honey97431 – What you're saying you "don't have a problem with" is cramming "fur animals" into small cages where they often sit in their own feces, and exhibit stress-induced neurotic/psychotic behavior such as chewing their paws down to the bone. And you don't have a problem with that.
Then, they are killed via eltrcutian so the pelt isn't damaged — clips are placed on their soft body parts — nose and genitals — and an eltrical current shot through them whil ethe other animals watch what will happen to them next. The lucky ones die — the others are bludgeoned or skinned alive. But at these fur farms, some gesture is made to kill before skinning — in china, where a lot of fur comes from, animals are sliced and their hides ripped off, then their bloody hideless bodies thrown in a heap where the animals die an s low death.
In either case, it's brutal and sick, so some bitch can feed her vanity. And you "don't have a problem with that", you weeping moron.
She is an idiot! no need to say more…
Re: Joe Mamma – It's not about the "food chain". The animals aren't killed for food. It's for vanity and greed.
.
… and it's not for "warmth" either because their are synthetic materials that provide more warmth than some trapped animals' carcass.
Never cared for her and this doesn't help things. She was ok in Shakespeare in Love, but then again, anyone could have played the role. She's a loser. A star fading fast.
Animals do have feelings…it's a proven scientific fact. Shame on her.
this proves that some celebrities do anything for money…
i hate her now!
She seems desperate. The animals are not only skinned alive, but kept in horrid conditions until they are slaughtered.
She also looks fugly as hell in the ads. Tod's are lame.
Re: DaLa – I guess you don't know much about fashion. A company like this would never use faux.
Okay, let's go over this again- Paltrow barely graduated from her elite Manhatten prep school. She was too dumb to be admitted to a college until her godfather (Speilberg) got her into college. She couldn't survive freshman year. She is one of the dumbest women in the world. When I hear someone call her smart, I immediately know just how stupid that person is. Her nasally voice and flat acting (she was so horrible in Ironman that the audience LAUGHED at her in the screening I saw!) have been rewarded by Hollywood because of pure, unadultered nepotism- they are afraid of the power of Speilberg and they like Paltrow's mother. She is really better off in England pretending to understand complex world politics and economy. That way we don't have to listen to her. She is gawky, and now that she is older, she cannot carry off that homely cuteness. You can leave her off your blog. She isn't worth your time. There are so many more actresses with talent.
OK, Enough with this peta bullshit. The point is that NOBODY is going to EVER stop making clothing with real fur, period! Whine and cry, and bitch and moan, but its not going to change, and SOMEBODY'S GOTTA MODEL IT! Deal with it, you vegan freaks, but fur keep your ass warm in the winter, what do you think people in Alaska do to keep warm? Wear fleece??? HA HA Fuck Vegetarians and anti fur idiots!
Re: wangbag –
Let's just use your cat's fur instead! I assume that's ok since you have no problem torturing innocent animals.
Gwynnie is a hypocrite. She changes her ways to suit whatever benefits her in the moment. She can't act… has ruined many movies I wanted to enjoy — Great Expectations, that Sylvia Plath bio. I just don't get her scrawny, whiny appeal. She has turned Chris Martin into a whiny insecure bitch. She is cold and calculating. Her granola "image" is sooo fake!
yes she is a money grubbing whore, but its her choice!! just cause she used to be on a macrobiotic diet, married to a vegetarian and does yoga does not mean she cant partner up a designer that "kills" animals. if peta doesnt like it…they can get over it like everyone else should!!!!
anti-fur is one thing but anti-leather is just fucking *stupid*. There are *tons* of cows killed for food so their hides might as well be put to good use as well. It isn't like cows are merely being killed *just* for leather goods. Who the hell would possibly waste perfectly good beef?
As far as the fur is concerned, I doubt I would feel guilty wearing fur either if I thought the animals had been killed for food (rabbits, for example) and their fur was just a side-product to that.
I gotta say, that *is* a beautiful jacket though. If someone gave it to me I'd wear it and love it, just so long as I didn't know it wasn't faux fur trim or lining.
Absolutely DISGUSTING! Foxes are so inquisitive & sweet, and to kill them for fur is so disgusting. And the way they kill them in places like China is so horrible. Most people watching it would get sick to their stomach. She should be ashamed of herself. Booooo Gwyneth. I hope you never get offered a another movie again.
Re: Brazilian Heat – Wow how ignorant are you? Did you know that elephants actually have funerals when one of their family members die? They touch the bones and cry out. They will even break down the house of someone that killed the animals to take back the body. And have you actually seen a Chimp or an Orangutan or Bonobo in person? There is no doubt they feel genuine emotion. Not to mention that they have performed better on memory tests than humans. In fact, one Chimp outscored the human memory champ of the world. These animals don't forget. All animals feel pain. And they are no doubt smarter than your ignorant ass. Did someone not finish high school? Before you say such ignorant comments, you should get educated.
fur is vile, i dont even wear leather, suade or eat meat. m surprised because i usually have a lot of respect for gwyneth
Go Gwyneth! I'm so tired of all this eco-bullshit.
Uggh. I could never stand her. She's one of the worse actresses out there. Horrible, horrible acting! I hope someone throws paint on her and drowns her, but most of all I hope she stays living in England and keeps Madonna with her.
Oh please. so what if she wears fur. she's not the only celeb modeling fur.
Good for Gwyneth. Animal rights activists are the most hypocritical twats on the planet. Go have a burger Perez.
I am sick of cute and fluffy animals getting all the animal rights attention. Furry animals are the "elite" of the animal world. What about the chickens? Huh? HUH?
I like leather and I like fur and I would like for the PETA types to suck my balls.
Why is that so many people say that want tolerance of others choices, but yet when someone does something that you don't like then they are a money grubbing whore. I just don't see how people can be so damned hypocritical.
Re: Bliss – Negative! Read it again because what it says is, …..Genesis 1: 28 "And God blessed them; and God said to them, "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish in the sea and over the birds in the sky and over every living thing that moves on earth."
.
Animals are here for us, we are not here for animals. I don't like animal abuse either, but Petas biggest problem is that they relentlessly go after people who eat a steak or wear leather boots and that is just ridiculous and obnoxious.
People are so ignorant as to the cruelty and evil things that people do to animals. Some say animals don't have a soul but I believe they do. SHAME ON PALTROW! She should take the MONEY she earned for this job and use it to educate people about the truths of FUR!!!!
Re: Cherry Bomb – I couldn't agree with your assessment more! It's really amusing to hear her speak, because she attempts to come across as smart, worldly and sophisticated. She's just plain dumb, and a bad actress at that.
thanks for reporting this.
What a let down. To me she seemed like and intelligent compassionate person. She's friends with Stella Mcartney & Christina Applegate (Christina posed for a PETA against fur). She has been in Environmental ads with Cameron Diaz - so I wonder why she would even go there?
It's not like she Needs the money right? And you would think - even if you believe in fur - why do something to impact your relationship with your best friends? This is just disappointing.
I hope Gwyneth reads this…
Bravo Gwyneth! Wear that fur. No one gives a rat's ass about PETAtrons and their terrorist activities. Lock the morons up in the new detention center in Denver were all the anarchists will be locked up during the Democratic Convention. Fur wears RULE the world!
Stupid Bitch, How Chris Martin can be married to this dumb slag is beyond me.
so what!!
Oh get this ASS off my screen! No one cares about Gwynnie Pig.
We know she's a money grubbing whore.
I agree we need to hear her side of the story, but I bet it's true. Shame on her if it is. Read the book "Eating in the Light." You'll never eat meat again! much less wear it!!
Re: Ryan82SM – animals cannot speak up and defend themselves, so we are their voice. you must not own a pet because if you did…you'd understand.
I'm sure more animals died keeping you supplied with cheeseburgers than died to make those boots fatboy
Re: call me snake – What makes most people angry about fur wearing is not the fact that they KILLED an animal. It is the WAY in which they are kept and killed. Very inhumane.
Listen, wearing fur is legal. It's also a personal choice. It's really no different than the right to have an abortion-if you don't want one, don't have one! Both the animal & the baby suffer and die, but the rights of the woman is more important!
PETA needs to stop dictating to people what they can or can't do. This is about freedom of choice. I am very liberal on what I want to do and about what anyone can tell me to do. Stay out of other people's business!!
This girl is classic Hollywood, only got into acting because Mummy and Daddy were already "in" No discernible talent, too much money, no class and absolutely no concept of the real world. Animals used for the fur trade are treated in an appaling manner and are subject to torturous methods of obtaining their fur ie by sticking a red hot poker into their asses to get the fur to stand up nicely before death. I personally would like to try this particular method of torture on Ms Paltrow. Trust me she would never be able to sit on her skinny ass again.
I just saved a tiny little spider in the bathtub today. What is fanatic about that. It is kindness. Joseph Campbell the philosopher said in slightly different words "if we speak of animals and the earth as thee then the earth will be a different place" rather than calling them "it" The reason it isn't okay for these fur trims to be used is because the animals are in cages with other dead animals, with open infected wounds, suffering. IT IS NOT OKAY to be disrepectful some people are selfish and ignorant. I always thought this woman was a faker . I didn't get the accolades she was showered with by the public. She is a dull actress. PETA is right on target. I stopped eating meat at 7, was raised on a farm. I know first hand about suffering. I know some feel they have to have meat. It will never change. But be more responsible–don't kill a little animal just to have some dumb fur trim around your neck or in your barette.
eff you perez, I bet you didn't get that fat eating only vegetables!!!!!!!!
I would stomp a box full of kittens for Gwyneth! DAMN SHE FINE!
you all need to get over yourselves and this dumb ass pc bullshit about peta and being vegan. the majority of people are not vegetarian and don't give a shit about animals specifically raised for slaughter or destined to be awesome clothes. if you've ever eaten a hamburger you need to shut the fuck up! if she was wearing puppies than i can see why someone might be upset. the point is, if you eat meat you are fucking stupid if you get offended by fur. i'm sure perez didn't get fat by eating fruits and vegetables. dumb ass hypoctrites.
im so ashamed for her! i thought she wasn't one of THOSE people, that only cared about money and fame.
fugly sket.
