Take That, Olsen Twins!

When
the Olsen twins—the “Trollsens,” as PETA calls them—trotted
out a fur backpack, there wasn’t a chance
that Running Russell Simmons star and
animal advocate extraordinaire Simone Reyes was going to let it
pass without a comment. She blasted
the Trollsens on her blog, saying that they are “unfortunately using their vanity and the pursuit of making
a blessed buck at the expense of innocent sentient beings.” Russell Simmons jumped in to help, tweeting Simone’s blog.

The Trollsens could take a cue from Banana Republic, which is launching a line inspired by the costumes in the
upcoming film Anna Karenina that will be designed
with elegant velvet, lace, and faux
fur.

You
won’t catch Constance
Marie wearing animals or gawking at them in the rodeo ring. She tweeted, “Please boycott
rodeos! #Video shows #Reno rodeo horses being shocked to perform: bit.ly/LLoUot #CrueltyIsNotEntertainment.”

Horror
movie king Eli Roth knows that what’s
really horrific is when animals are abused for entertainment. He tweeted in defense of elephants:
“Elephants need
you! Urge the Atlanta City Council to pass a total bullhook ban! bit.ly/LFIivF #NeverBeSilent.”

Vegan
pitcher Pat Neshek knows that people
provide the best entertainment: The talented Norfolk Tides player just snagged
Pitcher of the Week honors.
