Sharon Osbourne Calls Furry Lady Gaga a Bully and a Hypocrite

Lady Gaga, a one-time anti-fur advocate and supposed anti-bullying advocate, seems to
flip-flop more than a new pair of Havaianas. Now Sharon Osbourne is calling the singer out on it, saying:

[W]hen I
saw you wear a dress made out of raw meat, I was sickened. When I see you
wearing fur, and using it as a fashion statement, the fact that defenseless
animals have been killed so you can get your picture in the press is abhorrent
to me. Shouldn’t you be teaching your ‘little monster’ fans to respect animals
and life?

Whether
the target is people or animals, no one likes a bully. Maybe that’s why staunch
animal advocates have been scooping up so many awards lately.

At
the People’s Choice Awards,
Glee stars Lea
Michele and Chris Colfer claimed Favorite
Comedic TV Actress and Actor awards and Jason Mraz was named Favorite Male
Artist. Ellen DeGeneres
was named Favorite
Daytime TV Host, Jared
Padalecki’s show Supernatural took Favorite
Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show honors, and Mayim Bialik’s The Big Bang Theory was voted Favorite Network TV Comedy. Presenters
Olivia Munn and Ian Somerhalder were a huge hit, and
host Kaley Cuoco even took
a page out of PETA’s book and fought back against
dog shaming with a little “people
shaming” of her own.

Bones‘ David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel were named TV Guide’s Best Actor and Best
Actress. Onscreen, the TV couple
focus on investigating deaths, but off-screen David and Emily are all about
saving animals’ lives.

Animal
advocate extraordinaire Russell
Simmons is being honored with the Visionary Award from the Producers
Guild of America for his philanthropy and ethical approach to business. And several
stars snagged our nominations for best animal-friendly tweets of the week:

With
all the love for animals and the folks who defend them that’s been going around
this week, guess who got named among the least
popular people in America? That’d be the Kardashian family, who ranked lower than
Congress, root canals, and traffic jams. 

Unlike some
members of the Kardashian clan, Lena Dunham prefers her fur attached to its rightful owner. She happily
shared photos of her fluffy new rescued dog, Lamby, on Instagram.

It’s
also a boy for Miley Cyrus, who just added new
rescued puppy Bean to her family. Meanwhile, her sister Noah Cyrus was celebrating another
milestone. For her 13^th birthday, Noah asked her friends to donate
$13 toward getting
horse-drawn carriages off New York City’s streets. 

Vocal
horse advocate Kathy
Najimy put her money where her
mouth is, competing on Food Network’s Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off to benefit PETA. Of course Kathy, along
with competitor and fellow PETA supporter Cornelia Guest, cooked all vegetarian
meals.

Perhaps
Kathy and Cornelia could swap recipes with Gwyneth Paltrow, who is releasing a new
vegetarian-friendly cookbook. Their expertise may even come in handy on the
final frontier. One of America’s most respected space entrepreneurs, PayPal
co-founder Elon Musk,
is making plans to
establish the first colony on Mars—but no meat-eaters are allowed. 

That
means that even on Mars we could still enjoy the musical stylings of longtime
vegetarian Paul McCartney.
And it’s a good thing
that Elon’s shuttles will likely be made without animal skins, because Macca won’t ride in a vehicle
with leather seats.
