Brooke Shields Feels the Burn of PETA's Wrath

Brooke Shields is not terribly concerned with the plight of the mink.

In March, the actress traveled to Denmark's Kopenhagen Fur workshop to design a mink coat with the help of high-end design house J. Mendel. She happily posed over an assortment of skins, and even allowed herself to be quoted as saying, "I will wear the fur garment when I follow my children to school, when I drink coffee and when I sleep.

"So Shields really shouldn't be surprised to hear that she's the newest member of PETA's hit list. A post on the animal rights organization's website reads, "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?

"Oh, snap! The Latisse slam!

Shields hasn't yet responded to PETA's criticisms. At least she can rest assured that former PETA targets Kelisand Johnny Weir probably have her back.
