Animal rights activists are
furious about Nicole Richie wearing fur in public, and have chosen her as
one of its Worst Dressed stars for 2006.
People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals said that while Lionel
Richie's adopted daughter doesn't look as though she eats lots of meat,
she is a voracious wearer of animals.
"This pelt wearing party girl is all animal skin and bones. Nicole's an
incredible shrinking woman with the heart to match," the Sun quoted a PETA
spokesperson, as saying.
Also on this year's list are famous twin Ashley
Olsen, Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria and young star Christina
Ricci
.
"Wearing fur does add 20 pounds. But if Ashley wants to fill out her frame, we suggest using
a fork instead," said PETA.
"And you'd think Eva Longoria would be more sympathetic to the plight
of rabbits considering the way her character the way she screws around like one on Wisteria
Lane," the group added.
However Richie's "The Simple Life" co-star Paris Hilton has fallen off
the list after reportedly denouncing fur. PETA says the heiress ditched
her mink coats, fox collars and chinchilla trim after watching a video
expose of the fur trade.
