Nude Pics : Olivia Munn strips for PETA

Washington: Olivia Munn has become the latest celebrity to bare all for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

In her first nude photo shoot, the 31-year-old actress poses au naturel next to a fluffy bunny for the animal activists’ latest ‘I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur’ billboard. Munn has also filmed a video exposing the Chinese fur industry.

“As a proud person of Chinese descent, it broke my heart to learn just how terribly animals suffer and die on Chinese fur farms and that there are no penalties for this abuse,” a website quoted her as saying.

Munn is the latest in a long line of beauties who have stripped for PETA’s anti-fur campaign, including George Clooney’s ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis and Taraji P. Henson.

Rihanna slammed by PETA for outfit

Rihanna is known for her outrageous and revealing stage outfits. But with her latest fashion choice, She has ruffled more than a few feathers.

Last week as she attended a launch for her perfume at a department store on London’s Oxford Street, the 23-year-old star wore a turquoise top by Antonio Berardi made using a large number of ostrich feathers.
The move has enraged animal rights group PETA, who claim that the feathers used to create the garment could have been collected cruelly.

‘Rihanna is flaunting stolen property, in this case feathers possibly plucked right off their rightful owners’ backs,’ PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) spokeswoman Sandra Smiley told the Daily Star.
‘She has shown little regard for foxes, cows and reptiles, now she’s adding birds to the list of species exploited for her dubious looks.’

‘Feathers are often ripped off chickens, geese, ostriches and emus in live plucking. This can result in gaping wounds that are sewn up with a needle and thread without anaesthetic,’ she said.

Controversially, Smiley referenced the domestic abuse suffered by Rihanna at the hands of her ex boyfriend Chris Brown.

‘We keep hoping that Rihanna, a victim of violence herself, will learn to open her heart and start empathising with the suffering of others,’ she said.

‘That includes the animals who are beaten, gassed, electrocuted and poisoned to be turned into fashion accessories,’ she added.

Amrita Rao turns animal lover

She's the quintessential girl next door. But in a latest, actress Amrita rao has donned a hot new vegetarian avatar for PETA India, as she urges people to drop the meat habit.

Pic - Imran Khan in PETA ad for dogs

Imran Khan poses with a homeless dog named Tony for the latest PETA campaign.

The ad, shot by photographer Avinash Gowariker, is to encourage people to adopt homeless dogs.

“The fact is, there are dogs and cats and all kinds of animals roaming around the streets. Very often, people buy dogs, buy cats -- they see them as toys or as fashion accessories. They get bored of them and they throw them out of the house. That’s a very horrible thing to do,” Imran says.

The actor, to be seen next in Delhi Belly, added that whenever he sees a sick or injured animal, he tries to help.

Kareena follows Shahid's advice

Bebo unable to forget vegetarianism that Shahid rubbed on to her, refuses to promote a chicken brand.

Rs 6 crore is not chicken feed. But it won't convince Kareena, voted by PETA as the world's sexiest vegetarian, to promote non-vegetarian food.

She has just turned down an offer to be a brand ambassador for a chicken product. It seems, the actress may have moved on after Shahid but the vegetarianism he rubbed on to her has stuck.

Bebo, who was a non-vegetarian to begin with, turned veggie after being with Shahid for two years, surprising the actor so much that he even told the media, "It's quite an achievement. The first two years we dated, she was non-vegetarian."

The actress started promoting vegetarianism wherever she went post that. "If my fans are looking up to me and have turned vegetarians then I am happy about it. I am a pure vegetarian and it helps me keep fit and healthy.

I am aware that my fans have liked my look in Tashan. If they turn vegetarian for that, then I am glad I set an example," the actress told after being voted the sexiest veggie in the World in 2008.

Whether her fans turned vegetarian, we would never know. But co-actor Vivek Oberoi sure did. Working together in Kurbaan and eating vegetarian food (courtesy: co-star Bebo), the hard-core meat eater Vivek, fell in love with vegetarianism.

Influencing her boyfriend Saif was tougher. The Prince of Pataudi, who claimed he could never be a 'complete vegetarian', however gave up his chicken drumsticks and mutton pilaaf on girlfriend's insistence.

What's surprising is, however, that a company could even after all this approach Bebo for promoting chicken.

The actress who would rather skip lunch than have non-veg food, should have been the last choice for such a product. In fact, on the sets of her forthcoming film Short Term Shaadi, she was supposed to eat scrambled eggs for a scene.

She almost puked on seeing eggs. The director Shakun Batra had to then order eggless pancakes for her.

Kareena remained unavailable for comment.

Gulshan Grover replaces Mickey Rourke

Gulshan Grover, was recently in Los Angeles to shoot for one of the PETA campaigns. The whole crew including the models and the photographers worked free for the love of animals. 

Grover shot two campaigns for PETA – one against wearing leather and the second one to control the number of dogs. Interestingly, Grover has replaced Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke in this campaign, as earlier, this campaign was done by Mickey Rourke. Says Grover, "Don't kill someone for looks, instead kill them by your looks. If you wear leather, an animal has to be killed for that, but if you wear pleather, it looks the same and nobody has to be killed. We are all wearing pleather in the shoot." Grover told us that PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk thanked all of them personally for their contribution to animals.

PETA terms Diane's fur shoot 'vulgar'

Diane Kruger seems to have upset the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( PETA) with her recent fur photo shoot for the March issue of GQ.

The photos show the 34-year-old actress lounging on a bed while wearing vintage fur boots. She is completely naked except for a fur blanket covering her private parts, reports the New York Daily News.

Lisa Lange, PETA''s vice president, said, "It''s sad that such a beautiful actor would wear fur from coyotes, who, in pain and desperation, will often gnaw off their own legs in order to escape from steel traps to return to their young."

"Diane says that she despises vulgarity, yet there''s nothing more vulgar and pretentious than flaunting the skins of animals who were violently killed for luxury,"

Lange continued. "This will not endear her to a big chunk of the movie going public."
