An Ex-Rep For Kim Kardashian Says That Time She Got Flour-Bombed In 2012 Was Planned And She Was In On It
2012 was a much simpler time for Kim Kardashian. Paris Hilton’s former closet organizer was allowed to wear whatever hideous pleather suit from Express she desired without flack from der Fashion Führer. The Met Gala would’ve cackled in her face at the notion of her being invited, so she had no need to beg and “work her fucking ass off” to “fit” into an icon’s dress for a few minutes. And her now-mandated neutral aesthetic was generously gifted to her in the form of a “PETA flour-bombing” on the red carpet of her True Reflection (LOL said all of us who’ve seen every version of her face) perfume launch. We all laughed when bitch got bombed; but apparently, it was Kim who got the last laugh because a PR rep who worked with her during that time said the whole thing was a planned “media moment.”
Alan Cumming’s Missing Chimp Co-Star Was Found Alive, And His Owner Admits To Faking His Death
Apes and monkeys ruled TV and film in the ’90s. See: Friends, George of the Jungle, Ed, Mighty Joe Young, Monkey Trouble, Dunston Checks In, and Buddy, a 1997 box-office bomb which starred Rene Russo as an eccentric, animal-loving socialite who raises a gorilla as her son. Alan Cumming co-starred as Rene’s butler/animal handler, and many of his scene partners were cute chimps.
25 years later, and one of Alan’s chimp co-stars is making headlines. His name is Tonka, and, up until recently, he was missing (and technically dead). Alan, concerned for Tonka’s well-being, teamed up with PETA and offered a $10,000 reward for anyone with information about the animal’s whereabouts. Luckily, Tonka has been found, and his owner, Tonia Haddix, admitted to Rolling Stone that she faked his death so she wouldn’t have to turn him into an animal sanctuary. Damn. There hasn’t been primate drama this messy since 2012’s Ikea monkey!
James Cromwell Glued His Hand To A Starbucks Counter To Protest The Cost Of Plant-Based Milks
To many people, James Cromwell is the stoic farmer from Babe who gentle parents a weird little pig all the way to a sheep herding competition win. But to the baristas of New York-area Starbucks, he’s just that guy who superglued his hand to their counter yesterday. Along with being a prolific actor, James Cromwell is also a long-time activist for a number of causes. And one of James’ current causes involves the price disparity of plant-based milks that are being steamed and foamed at your local Starbucks.
PETA Wants An Investigation Into Doc Antler’s Zoo After Larsa Pippen Paid A Visit To It
Doc Antle was featured in the Tiger King docu-series, and in it, Joe Exotic, who is serving 22 years in prison putting a hit out on Carole Baskin, accused Doc of killing tigers in gas chambers to make room for further breeding. Doc has also been hit with dozens of violations from the US Department of Agriculture for mistreating animals. And now, TMZ says that PETA is coming for Doc and wants the USDA to open an investigation. It seems what tipped them off was a picture of Larsa Pippen, former Real Housewife of Miami and ex-friend of the Koven, in a pool with tigers. And PETA isn’t specifically mad that the tigers were abused by being forced to pose with Larsa Pippen, but they are mad that tigers have been forced to pose with the public, which is something the USDA warned Doc about years ago.
Kylie Jenner Got Accosted By Anti-Fur Activists And They Will Never Stop Until She Swears Off Fur
THE QUEEN has gone fur-free, so has the House of Versace, but Kylie Jenner (seen above looking not like Kylie Jenner) still loves it when an animal is slain and made into a jacket that she’ll wear for five seconds on Instagram. Well, in her defense, when your mother is sacrificing virgins every blood moon for eternal youth and power, you get desensitized. But that doesn’t matter to the anti-fur activists at The SoCal Animal Defense League who “swarmed” Kylie over the weekend and have promised to do so again if she doesn’t stop wearing fur.
The Anti-Fur Protestors Have Been Going After Jessica Simpson During Her Book Tour
Many people and companies have stopped wearing and using real fur. THE QUEEN is not wearing fur anymore, and Versace ditched fur. But not Jessica Simpson! Jessica still wears fur (see above: Jessica looking like a 70s Elle Woods in a fox fur-trimmed coat from Saks Potts) and the protestors are letting her have it during the tour to promote her memoir Open Book. But luckily for Jessica, they’re not throwing red paint and flour at her, they’re just throwing their words at her. And she’s responding to them by bringing God into it.
