Violent Happy Meal Toys Totally Unnoticed

12:35AM Hamilton Nolan | PETA’s gift to children: “Unhappy Meals” containing “a ‘menacing, knife-wielding’ Ronald McDonald cutout, a ketchup packet disguised as chicken blood, a plastic chicken covered in ‘blood’ and a ‘McCruelty’ t-shirt.” Less violent than a GI Joe Kids Meal! [Deceiver]

Would You Eat George Clooney’s Sweat?

10:15AM Jess McGuire | Personally, I refuse to believe that George Clooney’s sweat was nearly used to make tofu flavouring at PETA’s request, but that’s what The Internet™ is saying and it is my duty to inform you of such idiocy, so let’s get on with it. More »

Resurgent Mickey Rourke Throws Weight Behind Sterilization, George W. Bush

7:52AM Kyle Buchanan | Misshapen comeback kid Mickey Rourke’s been on an upswing since his Golden Globe win, but the real drama is whether he can stay out of his own way until the Oscars finally get here. More »

Pamela Anderson Sinks Her Cruelty-Free Claws Into Cate Blanchett

8:40AM Kyle Buchanan | The notable celebrity feuds of late have all been between well-matched pugilists: take the Battle of the British Funnymen (starring Ricky Gervais and Simon Pegg) or the Jewish Comic Conflict of ‘08 (pitting Sarah Silverman against Jackie Mason). Now, though, word has broken about a feud between two stars so different, it’s hard to imagine them even sharing airspace: fulsome serial divorcer Pamela Anderson and Oscar-honoured Cate Blanchett.

BB Producers Surprised To Find That Exceedingly Large Amounts Of Money Will Not Stop Pamela Anderson Fighting For Animal Rights

10:54AM Clem Bastow | Surely they must’ve seen this one coming – Pamela Anderson, in the country to film a stint in the Big Brother house, and apparently paid loads to do so – has continued her animal rights campaigning for PETA while down under, requesting meetings with Kevin Rudd to discuss live exports, and so on. But, somewhat deliciously, her main target is KFC, otherwise known as one of Big Brother’s major sponsors. Suddenly BB are wishing they’d gone with Tara Reid. Less than five hours after arriving in Australia yesterday, the 41-year-old ambassador for animal welfare group PETA announced that tomorrow she would deliver a letter protesting KFC’s treatment of chickens to a Gold Coast KFC outlet. The letter and accompanying video – addressed to Albert Baladi, the managing director of KFC’s Australian parent company – claims the fast food chain’s suppliers scald chickens to death in defeathering tanks. The serial Playboy bunny admitted she had agreed to appear on Ten’s reality TV show because she was being paid “a lot”. “Much more than I’m worth. I had to come. I can’t believe it,” she said. Asked if her pay cheque of was in excess of $500,000, she replied: “I don’t want to say how much, but it was a lot.” Awesome, I love Pammy – pocketing the cash, saying she doesn’t care who sponsors the show, and staying true to what she believes in. That’s the spirit! More »

PETA Would Rather Tinker With Sharon Stone’s Brain Than Wear Fur

9:00AM Defamer Hollywood | It’s no secret that Sharon Stone is batshit crazy. But while most people laugh and make snarky comments (like us), the folks at PETA have decided to actually do something about it. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals organisation is offering Ms. Stone one free brain scan in an effort to improve her compassion. And compassion is something that she has been lacking lately. Not only did she suggest that those terrible earthquakes in China were the result of bad karma for how they treat Tibet, she also frequently wears fur. See how PETA thinks they can help her after the jump. More »

Do Not Leave Jonathan Rhys Meyers Alone With Your Puppy. He Will Eat It.

4:10AM Molly Friedman | Tudors star and full frontal nudity club member Jonathan Rhys Meyers seems to have followed that old dictum: when in China, do as the Chinese do. Even when it means eating a hearty meal of juicy dog meat. As Radha Mitchell, his co-star in The Children Of Huang Sui, bloopered to reporters: Jonathan did the dog’s meat. We were in some restaurant and there was dog meat on the menu and there was someone next to us just sitting there with their Chihuahua in a handbag. I was thinking, ‘That could’ve been dessert.’ And naturally, PETA has taken the opportunity to sharpen their celebrity-hating claws once again.
