PETA WATCH

SELF-PROFESSED 'press slut' People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has branded Hollywood beauty Brooke Shields a 'fur pimp' and taken a swipe at her career.

The screen legend sparked a nasty attack by the militant lobby last Tuesday after she recently attended a Kopenhagen Fur workshop where she was designing her own mink coat.

In a bitchy post on its website, the lobby's kindness was on full display:

'We understand that when some actors' careers begin to fade, they'll do just about anything to stay in the limelight, including appearing in eyelash-growing commercials and starring in short-lived TV shows. But Brooke, did you really want the world to remember you as a 'fur pimp' who stares agog at rows of animal skins?'

Unfazed by the nastiness, Shields cheekily said 'I will advocate that both my generation and the younger generation can wear fur and I will wear the fur garment when I follow my children to school, when I drink coffee and when I sleep.'
