| | | Pop beauty Britney Spears is to pose in an anti-furposter campaign for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). She's to take part in the campaign called "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur", even though she was criticised recently by the animal charity for her stage act. They didn't approve of her stage stunt which involved a tiger in a cage and dancing with a live snake at the September MTV Video Music Awards in New York.
But Britney impressed the charity when she dropped the act from her performances after they asked her to think about what the animals could be going through. "We think Britney has set a great example of someone who listened to what we had to say and made a change," said a PETA spokesperson. Brits the fur-fighter will also model fake leather clothing on PETA's website.
