TAGGED:
It's that time of year again — your tan is fading, those summer reading deadlines are quickly approaching, and the MTV Video Music Awards are right around the corner! The VMAs are hands down my favorite awards show, and I'm always excited to hear the nominations! This year I was beyond stoked to find out that one of my favorite bands, and long time peta2 supporters, Cobra Starship, are nominated for "Best Pop Video"! Pretty fucking awesome right?! As if having one of the hottest singles in the country (that just so happens to feature Gossip Girl Leighton Meester!) isn't enough to take home the Moonman, frontman Gabe Saporta is a long time vegetarian and this year's Sexiest Vegetarian runner-up, and the Cobras have shown major love for the animals by being fashionable without fur. How could anyone not vote for them?!
Cobra Starship
The best part about the VMAs is that voting is unlimited! That means you can cast your vote for Cobra Starship and your other peta2-supporting favs as many times as your fingers can handle!
If I haven't convinced you yet, maybe this quote from Gabe will win you over: "I wanna thank everyone from peta2 who have always been supporting us. For the past 3 years I've come so close to winning Sexiest Vegetarian, but every year I've lost. Ok, I get it, I'm not that sexy. But that doesn't mean we didn't make an awesome video! And that doesn't mean that we can't take Britney out (even though she is naked in a sauna in her video — but this is BEST pop video, not SEXIEST pop video)! Help us win and I'll make a steamy sauna video just for peta2 members. ;)"
You heard it kids! Exercise your right to vote and make sure to pick up Cobra Starship's new album, Hot Mess, in stores and online today!

Eve Drops Mink, Picks Up Rumor September 14, 2007

"I once blew £3,000 on a mink coat. Back in the 'hood the fly girls always had mink coats...That coat made me feel special but I don't wear it now. It's nothing to do with animal rights—it's just that I have moved on. I think people should be able to wear what they want and I hate that the PETA people throw blood or paint over people wearing fur."
Alright, so it's not like Eve's gonna join the peta2 Street Team any time soon but it's great that she doesn't see suffering as a status symbol anymore. We dropped Ruff Ryder's first lady a letter paying her propers for her new enlightened outlook. We also sent her our video about fur hoping she'll see that when "people wear what they want" animals are caged, beaten, electrocuted, and skinned alive.
I have a feeling that once she has all the facts, Eve will follow in the fashion-forward footsteps of other world-class designers—including Tommy Hilfiger, Stella McCartney, Guess, Ralph Lauren, Marc Bouwer, and Eve's pal Gwen Stefani—who all know that faux is the only way to go.
And before I move on, I've gotta clear the air on this one: PETA has never ever EVER thrown paint on anyone wearing fur. I mean, come on—there are more effective ways to help animals than hiding in an alley with a bucket of paint, just hoping you'll cross paths someone who actually still wears fur.
