Paris to PETA: Pig Better Off With Me Than as Bacon

Hilton's latest accessory angers perpetually pissed animal rights organization

(NEWSER) - PETA has found a new poster child for its ire: Paris Hilton, who recently adopted a $4,500 miniature piglet. Despite naming the animal “Princess Piglette,” TMZ notes, PETA claims the "wretched example" treats her pets like “disposable accessories”—“as disposable as her friends,” to be exact, Digital Spy reports. PETA notwithstanding, the most important question is clearly: How does Tinkerbell feel about this? More»

Yes, even the Dog Whisperer made it on the list.

(NEWSER) - Kim Kardashian is PETA’s latest target, but her crime (holding a kitten by the scruff of the neck) is tame compared to what other celebrities have been accused of. The Frisky rounds up nine more who are in the doghouse with animal rights organizations:

• Paris Hilton: She has a history of acquiring animal accessories, then forgetting them—one kitten was hit by a car and employees say she abandons animals in closets to die.
• Banksy: The British artist once painted an elephant pink to bring awareness to world poverty. Since the paint was nontoxic, one animal rights group called the move merely "gimmicky."

Animal rights org not pleased with Simpson's pet plans

(NEWSER) - Hey, Jessica Simpson, didn’t you see what happened when Paris Hilton adopted a pet pig ? Or maybe "Chicken of the Sea" Simpson is indifferent about being on PETA’s bad side. The singer is considering replacing her departed dog with a pig and tweeted Monday, “Does this mean I’ll have to give up pork?” PETA’s answer: Give up pork and don't get that new pet, the New York Daily News reports.

Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and more flaunt their fur

(NEWSER) - For every celebrity willing to pose naked in a PETA ad, there’s one who is equally willing to flaunt fur clothing all over town. The Frisky rounds up PETA’s 10 worst enemies:

• Kelis: The singer recently accused PETA of being “the death of fashion.”
• Lindsay Lohan: The actress was famously doused with flour by a PETA activist.
• Kate Moss: Though PETA is no fan of Moss when she wears fur, the organization does like the fur-free line she designed for Topshop.
• Paris Hilton: Another celeb who got “floured” by PETA—and she uses pets as accessories, too.
• Victoria Beckham: She wears fur and leather. Enough said.

Kardashian and West are still apparently publicizing each other

(NEWSER) - The Kim Kardashian-Kanye West publicity stunt —er, relationship—lives on: A jealous Kim has now banned all other women from hanging around her man. "Kim is incredibly protective of Kanye and doesn’t want any women near him unless she is there—even his friends," a source tells the Sun . Rihanna, who has joined Kanye and Jay-Z on stage, "wasn’t even allowed to go into his dressing room without Kim being there." But perhaps Kim needn't worry: The New York Daily News reports that Kanye blew off a planned performance at Cannes last week to have dinner with Kim, and adds that Rihanna is dating New York Knick JR Smith anyway.
