Pink, being awesome

Pop singer Pink, who is currently my favorite person on the planet, went public with the information in a recent interview with the UK newspaper News of the World. Pink was understandably pissed off about the fact that Beyonce has animals violently killed so she can wear them around town. Here are some choice tidbits:

"I only hope she gets bit on the arse by whatever animal she wears. … People will think it's ok or cool, but it's not."
"Some of the practices are so cruel and as a celebrity you have a responsibility to think about the message you're sending out by wearing fur."

For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, here’s the video of our own recent attempt to reason with Beyonce on the subject. By an odd coincidence, we won a contest to have dinner with Beyonce and her mom, so we took the opportunity to have a little chat with them.

Pink you are simply amazing! Props to you for standing up and voicing your opinion to one of the industries largest pop stars of today! We need more people like you to stand up for the rights of animals in order to make a difference! Beyonce is a bitch for being so selfish and not recognizing her role in the horrific murders of so many innocent animals. Ill NEVER buy anything to do with her as long as she enables the fur industry! Shame on you , Beyonce!

My respect and admiration for Pink continues to grow by the moment!
That's awesome that you have enough balls to say something when so many keep there mouths closed, or just choose to do stupid things!

Good for you!

Bless Pink! The Hell with Beyonce.
We all know that only
Pimps & Hookers wear fur!

You go girl, you are way hotter than Beyonce anyways even without your fabulous attitude!

Posted by: lacey | November 15, 2006 08:44 PM

Pink you are simply AMAZING! I love that you stand up for these animals. I have so much respect for what you and what you have done!!!

even if beyonce stoped doing fur you would still be million times better then her

Posted by: Gabriele | November 16, 2006 07:11 AM

Pink you are great. Thank God there are people like you.
It is my dream to meet you. Your such an inspiration. You are a better singer than Beyonce.

Posted by: Michelle | November 16, 2006 10:21 AM

I like Beyonce..I never knew that she wore real fur though. There is no doubt that Beyonce is gorgeous. I love Pink more though. Killing animals for fur to wear it is cruel.

Posted by: Taylor | November 16, 2006 05:19 PM

Thank you!! These beautiful creatures are helpless and need us to stand up for them!! Give me a break, she suggested taping an alligators mouth shut to do a music video...what the hell?

Posted by: Melanie | November 16, 2006 05:23 PM

Pink, you're so real and I have so much respect for you. You're speaking out to help stop the unimaginable pain and suffering of these poor animals.

You're stand up and be counted and I’m happy to stand up with you.

I wish there were more people like you.

It's true that only Pimps & Hookers wear fur! And Beyonce knows it every time she looks in the mirror.

Posted by: Kerry | November 16, 2006 05:52 PM

its just so killing beyonce's reaction... she doesnt even talk for her self. oh come on, how old is she? i remember teachers in kindegarden "are you mute?". just bloody ridiculous, you gotta laugh...

Posted by: cuco | November 16, 2006 09:14 PM

Every blog I read, there are lots of comments on stories about Beyonce about how disgusted they are by her fur use. Doesn't she realize that it's hurting her bottom line?

Posted by: sue | November 17, 2006 12:32 AM


Pink, I think you're doing a great job for animal rights

You're ten times better than Beyonce

The world needs more people like you. You're Great, Talented and HOT!!!

Posted by: Paul | November 17, 2006 08:00 AM

Well done Pink!!

These two brainless , egocentric , cruel and IMBECILES (Beyonice and Lopez) need to hear that they are just a pice of crap on heels.

Down with these bitches!!

Posted by: Gerardo Tristan | November 18, 2006 11:22 AM

OBVIOUSLY, Beyonce, does not speak for herself, rather she lets her publicist/mngr do all the talking while she cowardly turns her head. It's evident in the video. She knows what's wrong and chooses to ignore it. That is why she is a coward, and a bitch. Kudos Pink, you ROCK!!

Posted by: Lauren | November 19, 2006 08:57 AM

Beyonce' is NOT a "bitch". She's a highly talented entertainer who will hopefully see the HORROR she is helping to promote by wearing fur.

I don't consider myself a big fan of hers, but she's probably led a sheltered life (up to now anyway) and she may not have given enough thought to the issue. Hopefully that will change. Oprah is supposed to love fur too, but that doesn't make her a "bitch" either.

I accept that we're all free to post our comments (within Peta's guidelines), but Peta should alter their "Pink Reveals That Beyonce' Is a Bitch" headline since the quote doesn't actually say that.

People stop listening when the name calling begins.

Woot! Go pink!
Pink, your doing an awesome job fighting for animal rights.
I look up to you.

Posted by: Jade | November 20, 2006 05:36 PM

beyonce thinks that wearing fur is fab...but in reality she looks 20lbs more FLABBY(it's also due to all that KFC she's been eating).

Posted by: Nancy Kim | November 20, 2006 08:21 PM

pink is a goddess.
there's no way beyonce and j.lo can be that heartless and self-centered...actually, yeah, there probably is.

Posted by: sarah | November 21, 2006 12:48 AM

I dont really think that beyonce will change her mind about wearing fur.
I never get it tho what does it give you to wear fur?? It disgusses me I see people who are wearing fur as murders...a little extreme yes. But it is for a good cause.

P!nk words cannot describe how important your messages are to people and to the world!! keep on rockin'

Posted by: Allon verheul | November 21, 2006 04:43 AM

Beyonce` absolutely to stop wearing fur!!!!It sickens me eveytime I see fur it reminds me of the vid I watched on Peta!It is 1 of the most sickest things I ever seen,it made me physically sick and my stomach sank!!I don't listen 2 Beyonce`'s music anymore,even though I love her music!!!!
Y do ppl think they're cool when they're wearing some1 had to die 4 their coat!!!!

Posted by: Kayla | November 21, 2006 07:36 AM

pink is terrific.may god destroy all those involved in the cruel fur industy.including beyonce,jlo,paris hilton & cindy crawford.

Posted by: james | November 21, 2006 08:57 AM

I hope beyonce regerets wearing fur because she is not beatiful or talented. By the way I love Pink she is way too cool and awesome. She is also lucky to be married to Carey.

Posted by: Mari | November 22, 2006 03:32 PM

Thank you Pink, for using your celebrity to promote animal rights/animal welfare. You have earned my respect and I admire your tenacity.

Posted by: Lysa Parker | November 22, 2006 10:46 PM

Beyonce, we all know you're a mean, dumb bitch so stop acting like you didn't know animals are being killed for your coat. I'm glad Pink actually said something to you because everybody else in Hollwood who loves animals dosen't have the guts. I hope you choke on a veggie burger, whore.

Posted by: Devon Leung | November 23, 2006 03:40 PM

OMG I watched the video with Beyonce....what a jerk and so is the person sitting with her.
Beyonce you suck!!!!!

Posted by: Cheryl | November 23, 2006 08:46 PM

hey,hey,i know ur all mad...but calling her names isnt gonna help.i <3 beyonce,i'm disapointed she does that but its her personal choice and that she does,just talk to her.calm is better than fire.

"lets all love one another.."

Posted by: kristy | November 24, 2006 02:06 PM

PINK is so rediculous. The same way religion shouldnt be forced down peoples throat, neither should her animal rights beliefs. If Beyonce wants to parade around with aligator heels, chinchilla coat and a italian import belt with cobra skin, then she should do it. Pink is just mad because she cant afford to do the same thing.

Posted by: James | November 25, 2006 05:41 PM

wow pink ur pretty kool for that, know that I think of it I did see beyonce wearing a fur scarf type of thing in her video with jay-z, "crazy in love." towards the end shes wearing it, just check it out.

Posted by: cecelia ortiz* | November 28, 2006 11:34 PM

Pink... kuddos
As for beyonce, it seems like everybody who wears fur is disguisting & vain, and beyonce is DEFFENTLY no exception. She acts like such a victim, when 1.PETA wasn't harressing her, they were actualy complementing her! 2.She not only wears fur, but designs with it too (like the horrible, bitch j lo) & 3.She is stiil alive while thousands of innocent animals died gruesome deaths so she can have a coat to wear.

Posted by: monica | December 10, 2006 06:54 AM

look, if you're mad at beyonce for wearing fur then be mad but don't say she aint talented. that bitch is talented. she can sing very well and dance very well, even thou in some of the videos i dont know what the hell she's doing, but she's very good. but i can't say the same for her acting. i aint really a fan of hers but she's very talented. don't take out your anger on her not being talented cuz she is. that's all i gots 2 say.

Posted by: jamaicangirl | December 11, 2006 05:06 PM

Thank you to Pink and the others that are here as a voice for the voiceless..Not only does she take a stand, she makes it very well known where she's coming from and why she feels the way she does...Nice to know someone so well respected in the music industry is in our corner trying to save the animals as we all are...And really...does that chick think that even looksgood???SOMEONE buy her a mirror and talk to her about animal life, it is not for the taking by anyone!!
regards,
Kim K

Pink...good on you girl!

For the people who are defending Beyonce, you are just as ignorant as she is. I'm pretty sure that was the first time Beyonce has seen these videos of animals being put through tortuous deaths just so she can flaunt her fur all over the place and she got schooled for that. Too bad it went in one ear, out the other.

MAY BEYONCE & ALL THE FUR WEARING HOS INCL JLO BURN IN HELL !

Posted by: james | March 11, 2007 09:33 PM

yes, it does not even take this horrible event to deside that she IS a bitch: look at her videos: it cannot be any more stupid than that: she is throwing out some guy, accusing him to be untrue to some "so called" bitch (read lyrics for details) which in the end turns out to be herself with curlers on. questions? not me. PLUS: her behaviour so queenish and prissy (throwing her hair and stuff) that I hardly dare even compare this cheap trash to the worst of drag queens anyhow. Forgive me all drag queens, you cannot even try hard enough to be like her being bitchy as she is. She is the living example of: whenever sexuality is going to be redistributed by the gods in next life, I WILL BE the first to scream: please do not let me straight! what a cheap whore!
no thanks, the planet deserves women, not nail cosmetic dung queens like her.

Posted by: python | March 12, 2007 10:39 PM

Although I agree with the fact that many of us are saddened by the use of fur by many artists, we do not have the right to judge people by calling them hoes and bitches. What kind of message are we trying to deliver, or for that matter, what kind of example are we trying to set if we are approaching the situation with a full force of negativity? Although I understand the fact that the use of fur and animal skin is exceptionally horrible, we should deliver our messages in a less ignorant and violent way. By calling people hoes and bitches only demeans our standards and goals in this society, not to mention the fact that our anger speaks louder than our actions. If we want respect for our beliefs and our goals, we should address the situation in a more mature and professional way.

Can you tell me who owns a copyright?

Posted by: gjllmfny | August 23, 2007 01:58 AM

anyone else up for skinning beyonce? and calling it " couture"

someone needs to tell that slut her that dead animals and and those fake straw extensions are a big fashion "no no!"

who the fuck taught her fashion?

she has the nastiest body and ugliest face not to mention that obvious fake weave!


ha ha anyone see that you tube video of the slut falling down the stairs!


ha ha what a classic it waS

Posted by: heather | October 8, 2007 11:26 AM

America...don't you just love it. I love the land of the free part. This is a free country, I'm not big on animals, however I don't feel that they should be harmed, but, there is only one that has the power to judge and its not society nor is it PETA! I respect PETA's beliefs on animal cruelty but I don't respect the fact that they have to degrade others in order to get there point across. There's a saying, Those who judge are the very one's confused about their own lives! Believe what you want but don't spit on someone because they don't share your beliefs. And you all want to set an example. Beyonce is truly a talented woman and so is Pink but for her to use obscenities towards Beyonce all because they don't share the same taste, says a lot about Pink, and its not good. I thought more of her. That whole charade in NY while this young lady was spending time with her family was tacky and uncalled for. Grow up! You all need to take a look at yourselves and your behavior before you TRY to set an example.

Posted by: Denise Jones | December 14, 2007 03:55 AM

I agree with Denise Jones. I would not wear fur, but would never judge anyone else for it. People feel similarly about HOMOSEXUALITY, FORNICATION, ASTROLOGY, ETC. It's unfair to call out someone else on their BS especially when you know that you yourself are NOT perfect.

"DO NOT JUDGE, THAT YOU MAY BE JUDGED"

Posted by: lAtOYIA dEE | January 8, 2008 12:35 PM

I feel those last 2 letters are so off the mark.Since when is it ok to torture and kill a living being for the sake of fashion.Just like any other injustice,it takes unpleasant,and strong words to evoke change.People are entitled to an opinion,but when that opinion involves cruelty,there is only one choice.It should not be such a difficult choice for a fair minded person.

Posted by: Ethel B.Moon | March 5, 2008 01:30 AM

you people are too much. Why don't you just open peoples eyes to what the fur trade involves instead of terroizing people.
