Gwyneth Paltrow Regrets Wearing Fur in Ad
Wednesday November 19, 2008
 Courtesy of Tod's Gwyneth Paltrow is back on good terms with PETA after the anti-fur group lashed out at the actress for wearing a fox stole in a Tod's ad. PETA's senior vice president, Dan Mathews, chatted with the actress at the Fontainebleau Hotel opening in Miami over the weekend. In August, the group released a statement that said: "Gwyneth Paltrow won't be the apple of her daughter's eye if she continues to flaunt fur." See controversial photos of stars wearing fur. According to Mathews, Paltrow graciously said: "That was awkward, and I'm glad you asked, because I do not wear fur at all. "It was a daylong photo shoot on a boat near Capri, and there were all sorts of poses with all kinds of clothes - none with fur," she added. "During one set-up, a stylist came up from behind and draped a stole around my shoulder. She continued: "I didn't pay much attention to it, and when I noticed it was fur, I assumed it was fake fur, but did not ask, so it's my fault. I was very surprised when they ended up using that one shot out of hundreds for the centerpiece of the Tod's ads. "I know it's not a great excuse, but I hope you and your members understand." (Kate Winslet recently found herself in a similar situation, when she appeared in Vanity Fair posing on a fur rug she thought was faux. The magazine later apologized.) Paltrow - who works out three hours a day and used to adhere to a strict macrobiotic diet - told Mathews that she thinks people should focus on vegetarianism more than fur. The actress says she and her husband Chris Martin, plus kids Apple and Moses, mostly skip meat. "We know it's the best diet for us and our kids, and of course, for animals and the environment," Paltrow said. Look back at Gwyneth's style transformation over the years.

10:20 AM Anonymous Says: How can you compare abortion to wearing fur? Abortion is the right of choice for women, animals have no say. I do not agree with abortion as a means of birth control, however, if the women can not or will not care for the child properly, abortion could assist with eliminating child abuse etc. For the "do gooders" who continue to fight abortion rights, have you ever thought about adopting those children born but unwanted? Back to PETA and fur......no one, star or otherwise, should support the killing of any animal for vanity and/or fashion. We must speak for the animals as they do not have a voice. umm does that unborn child have a say..the thing that is being murdered?!?!!? NO the selfish mother gets the say! And yes us "do gooders" do very often adopt the "unwanted" I have two little boys(twins) that, if I had not conviced the woman that was carrying them to keep, would have been aborted. My cousin is also in the process of an adoption of a baby girl that has not yet been born, that baby too would certianly have been aborted had my sister and her husband not been introduced to the woman's parents. Abortion is MURDER .

animal abuse is wrong, killing animals for sport isn't right. decimating a population of a species for a fashion trend also is not right. BUT come on. PETA is full of crazy people. Loooooooneys. People who would die for animals. No thanks. And for Gwyneth to apologize...done for PR, no other reason. As for them making a statement regarding her mom skills or her daughter...that is completely disgusting and irrelevant and irreverent and offensive and just plain rude. Nothing wrong with a little animal activism or choosing to be vegan. But when someone is obsessed and holds animal life of equal or greater value with human life..that is deranged. and without animals being killed, our stone age ancestors wouldn't have had clothing or bone for tools or meat.

Anonymous @2:55PM I agree with you that, "the injustice of the voiceless is cruel". However, why are we, in this society, more concerned with how we treat our animals than our unborn innocents? So, I'll start acting on behalf of PETA when abortion becomes something allowed only in cases where it would threaten the life of the mother. I'm not saying we should forget about these animals, but I am saying that I care more about humans than pigs. If that makes me a stupid ignorant fat @$$, then so be it. Also, I know the term "HAMburger can be rather confusing, so allow me to clarify that 99 cent burgers are not made with pigs. They use beef. So, the pig that I ate yesterday morning was BACON. The COW that I ate this afternoon was HAMBURGER. Glad to help you clear that up!

1) I believe Gwyneth. Photoshoots can be exhausting. Sometimes you don't notice when someone on set comes over and drapes yet another scarf, sweater, or whatever on you.2) I don't care if people wear fur. I disagree with the way the animals are treated, so I don't wear fur, but I'm not going to judge people for doing the same.3) I am a nonjudgmental Bible Thumper. My Dad is a religions professor. I also have piercings and a mohawk. I'm a suburban housewife with kids. Not all people who believe in God are religious. Not all Religious people are Bible Thumpers. Not all Bible Thumpers are judgmental. Not everyone is going to fit into the stereotypical box you assume they fit into, and, BTW, when you stereotype people, it is you who are being judgmental.

I don't believe her excuse for a moment. It's bullsh!t! No matter how good technology gets one can always tell real fur from fake. If she was unsure all she had to do is reach her greedy little hands over and touch it and know that the fur was real. I'm not a PETA supporter. But I'm not a Gwyneth fan either. She's a crazy, insecure, greedy, user. I work in the business and know the lengths she has gone and will go to get what she wants.

I was a vegetarian for 6 years. A lot of them are just hypocrites. The liberal ones anyway. So you are against fur and eating animals.......but you are for abortion and against killing terrorists. Makes absolutely no sense. Trust me, there are a lot of people out there with those ideals.

Whether you agree with PETA or not, wearing fur is a shi**y thing to do and you all know it. Anyone who wears fur straight up does not care that the animals it came from were confined in small spaces for their short lives, anally electrocuted, and skinned, and HOPEFULLY they are are dead at that point but not always. Any jackass has the right to wear whatever they want but if you wear fur, you care more about yourself and your ego than the pain and suffering of the sentient beings that were born with it. Good for you, what a great person you are-it speaks volumes about your character. And those of you saying that you are going to wear fur to spite PETA, I hope you realize how completely stupid you sound, wanting to punish animals because of the actions of some people you don't agree with. Grow up.

What really ticks me off about PETA is, they'll fight tooth and nail to save the lives of fish, but they won't help fight breed-specific laws in any city. They need to refocus their energies and their media coverage into actually helping animals and their owners keep their rights. They have the forum to promote that stupid people and stupid owners are bad for any dog, regardless of breed. It's never a breed that's bad. It's bad people. PETA needs to reorganize their priorities. Leave the fish be, and help dogs!!

7 Things you didn't know about PETA. PETA frequently looks the other way it's celebrity spokespersons don't practice what they preach. As gossip bloggers and Hollywood journalist have noted, Pamela Anderson's Dodge Viper (auctioned to benefit PETA) had a luxurious leather interior; Jenna Jameson was photographed fishing, slurping oysters, and wearing a leather jacket just weeks after launching an anti-leather campaign for PETA;Morrisey got an official "okay" from PETA after eating at a steakhouse;Dita Von Tesse has written about her love of furs and foie gras; Steve-O built a career out of abusing small animals on film;the officially "anti-fur" Eva Mendes often wears fur anyways;and Charlize Theron's celebrated October 2007 Vogue cover shoot featured several suede garments.In 2008 'Baby Phat' designer Kimora Lee Simmons became a PETA spokesmodel despite working with fur and leather after making a $20,000 donation to the animal rights group.

I'm so sick of peta harassing people for wearing fur. Who cares. It's no worse than having leather seats in your car. Are you going to tell me that every member including Pam Anderson has cloth seats in their car, and a closet that has absolutely no leather in it whatsoever. I seriously doubt it. They are a radical hate group.

It's human nature to be judgmental, and not a god-thing or an atheist-thing. People who reference religion in their arguments are no different than an atheist using his or her secular references to support their arguments. Neither side will compromise, so the issues will always lock horns. There's enough aloofness to go around from both camps.

Don't assume anything. Worry about what your God thinks of you, not me. If there is a God, then he will judge me. You worry about yourself. Can you read? Just checking. You are making all sorts of assumptions, like 1) all people who believe in God are religious and 2) that all people who believe in God are bible thumpers. I am not judging you, I am stating what I believe vs. what you beleive. If you have a right to proclaim your atheism why don't I have a right to argue why I believe in God?

PETA's nothing but a group of unclean hippie-wannabe extremists starving for attention. They perform idiotic stunts by throwing things on celebrities; thinking that by doing so, they will end animal cruelty. Attacking the source, which is the fur industry, is not so glorifying. PETA can claim they are able to reach a wider audience of sympathizers when a celebrity is at the receiving end of their wrath. But they also expose themselves as terrorists to the average animal lover when they employ these guerilla tactics.
