Yo PETA! Over here.

I am not obsessed with PETA or the ongoing debate over the ethics of wearing fur. But I have to say that Mary J. Blige and Patti Labelle have outdone themselves in thumbing their noses at animal activists. Here’s a quote from Blige, from last January, when she told PETA, in essence, to shove it:

‘Those PETA people don’t want to mess with me, they don’t want to throw paint on my coat because it’s not just going to be throwing paint. It’s going to be Mary in the news the next day, you know what I mean?’

I know what she means. I suspect that Blige could maim a polar bear with her bare hands. PETA had better steer clear of her.
