Check out what the PETA peeps have done to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Personally, if I were going to vandalize this star, I would just write “WHY????” on it.

Also, I’ve mentioned it before on my Twitter, but it bears repeating: Mary-Kate and Ashley’s fashion line, The Row, sells a pair of lambskin motorcycle pants for $1700. YES WITH TWO ZEROS. Jesus Christ, for that kind of money, they should be made of Angelina Jolie’s skin.

     so so true. while the other editors try their hardest (which i appreciate), beet is just amazing!

     its kind of sad that they have to share a star with one another, i bet they get sick of being considered the same person all the time.

       wikipedia says, “$25,000 fee must be paid to the Trust for costs such as security at the star ceremony; a 2003 FOX News story noted that the fee is often paid by sponsors such as film studios and record companies, as part of the publicity for a release with which the honoree is involved.[citation needed] On other occasions, the fee is paid by a fan club. Often, it is paid by the nominating person himself or herself.”

       maybe whoever paid for them didn’t think they were worth 2 stars, or they wanted to save $25,000 for more fur.

   they SHARE a star? hahhahhaha… they do look like hags most the time, with fur, like they live in their cottage in the village (greenwich that is) and lure animals into their lair and then make legging out of them. or something like that.

   hahaha… ‘why!?!?’

     HAHAHAHAHHA. I thought that too! They aren’t two different people, they only get one star for the both of them. HELPS loads on their self worth.

   who gets the prize for the least-deserved star on the walk of fame?

   While I disagree with the practice of using fur or any type of animal for fashion… I feel like that’s too much. Peta goes too far with their stuff, I can’t deal.

   i think the thing i like best is that those motorcycle pants cost $1700 and they have an elastic waist.
   because i always think “class” when i see “elastic waist”.

   Angelina’s skin would probably cost less because it’s been tainted by Billy Bob Thornton tattoos. Gross. Get more info about the PETA stunt here: http://activism.ology.com/2009/01/28/animal-activism-peta-tags-fur-hags/
