Angelina Jolie
Yes, Angelina Jolie was spotted wearing what appeared to be a chinchilla-trimmed hat and cape on the set of her latest movie, spurring one of the best blog headlines that we've seen all week. But our L.A. staffers—knowing that Angelina is a longtime fur foe—were on it faster than Liza Minelli can open a bottle of Scotch, and they've received word from the film's publicist that (phew!) the chinchilla is actually synchilla.

Don't worry, Ange, we knew a big-hearted U.N. Goodwill Ambassador like yourself would never wear the skins of achingly adorable little animals who go "coo, coo" when they're excited and like to hold things in their cute little pinkish-gray hands. We just knew it.

One year for Christmas my aunt gave me the most beautiful faux fur coat I had ever seen.

The reason I know it was faux is the label on the inside of the coat: Fabulous Faux, all man made materials.

I wore that coat until it literally fell apart 10 years later.

Go Angie! She is such a beautiful person. Now if she would just realize that going vegan would actually help the children she is trying so hard to save...

thats a relief..lol well are any of you fans of big time mags?? like elle and stuff? i suggest you submit a comment to them urging them to put alternatives in their mags to fur like angies synchilla..instead of posting pics of girls in actual fur and make it seem so glamorous...one wont make a diff but many will..;)
