Pam Anderson To Kim Kardashian: PETA’s Love-Hate Relationship With Celebs

PETA has always had a love-hate relationships with celebrities. Some star studs like Justin Bieber have won the hearts of animal lovers by gracing PETA ads. Some celebs have even stripped down to step up for the cause of animal rights. However, there’s always those celebrities who blaze their own fur trail and send PETA in a hot rage like Kim Kardashian most recently did.

On the good side of the controversial organization are Pamela Anderson and Bob Harper, who recently teamed up with PETA to launch limited-edition U.S. postage stamps featuring famous vegetarians. From Gandhi to Ellen DeGeneres, now your bills and birthday cards can all feature Hollywood’s top 20 herbivores. But without even buying any stamps (snail mail, what’s that?), you can peruse our eye-popping, yet informative list of celebs who made PETA’s It list and hit list, along with the famous offenders who’ve since changed their ways.

Alicia Keys’ Black Ball Attacts Some Colorful Fashions

Last night, Alicia Keys continued her work to solve the AIDS crisis, hosting the 8th Annual Keep a Child Alive Black Ball at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. While helping to fund research, treatment and care for those affected by AIDS, the guest were treated to performances by the likes of Keys, Usher, Mary J. Blige, will.i.am and more. The evening also honored the late Beatle and philanthropist George Harrison. Our invite was surely lost in the mail, but we’re content to gaze upon the stars’ best red-carpet fashions. Check out the stunning (not all-black) looks worn by Tyra Banks, Chanel Iman, Kerry Washington and more in the gallery below.

Jersey Shore‘s Deena Covers Alicia Keys’ “Fallin’”

You know when you have to go to your niece’s vocal recital, and you can tell she’s trying so hard but maybe hasn’t been practicing as much as she should have, so all you can do is stare silently at the program in your lap until it’s all over? In related news, Jersey Shore‘s Deena covered Alicia Keys’ “Fallin’” out of what was apparently sheer boredom, at least according to her YoutTube channel. “[B]ored in my room singing,” the Jersey diva wrote. Makes sense to us! Now, we know about Pauly D’s DJing and The Situation‘s…affordable tuxedos, but maybe singing just isn’t destined to be your calling, Deena. We say go with what you know. Not even the actual Jersey Turnpike can do the Jersey Turnpike like you, girl.

The iHeartRadio Festival Boasted The Greatest Lineup Of All Time, End Of Story

Get lost Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Woodstock: there’s a new epic concert in town! It would probably be easier to name who WASN’T at the iHeartRadio music festival this weekend in Las Vegas than try to tackle the luminous lineup. It’s seems like every big name in entertainment showed their face at the MGM Hotel to groove to the sounds of bands new and old. Lady Gaga ruled supreme (of course) with a hot show including special guest Sting. But the highlight of her set was the emotional tribute to Jamey Rodemeyer, the 14-year-old Gaga fan who committed suicide last Sunday after being tormented by bullies for his homosexuality. Have a tissue ready.

Some of the bigger acts also included Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Jay-Z, Carrie Underwood, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez, and we haven’t even scratched the surface. Even the Black Eyed Peas took a hiatus from their hiatus to perform! Check out the gallery below to see which of your favorites tore up the stage and lit up the red carpet!

Who Is This Celebrity Baby Yogi?

Could little Egypt get ANY CUTER? Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz baby boy looks adorable in his pj’s, all solemn and yogi-like in what could pass off as the lotus pose! We insist it does because, GUYS. This kid is to much to handle. Swizz tweeted the picture writing, “Egypt started is own yoga class today in the house LMAO.” We’re totally gushing about how beautiful he is, we know — but will you look at those cheeks! He’s making our ovaries hurt!

Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys And Demi Moore Cover Glamour For October

What a cover! Glamour Magazine’s October issue has Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore and Alicia Keys taking the reins in super-hot shots and a great interview to boot. The trio collaborated to help launch Five, a series of films about women and breast cancer set to air on Lifetime on October 10. Each of the three women have directed one segment each.

While the interview deals with their ideas about their short films (Jennifer’s is called Mia), it also delves into other subjects. Like why Jennifer has been wearing the same bikini for years! She explained, “And I’ll wear it for as many years as the strings still tie! Bathing suits now have so much hardware on them that they singe your skin. When you take your bikini off, it looks like you’ve been branded with crop circles and lightning bolts and words like Gucci!”

Demi — her film is called Charlotte — talks about her Twitter usage and her reasons for it, saying, “Originally, Ash and I were just playing, seeing what it did and what it meant… I saw Twitter as this opportunity to connect with people and actually show a side of myself that is much lighter. And all of a sudden people were getting to know me, and I was connecting with people. At its core Twitter is about sharing, and I think that in life we never feel better or more energized than when we’re giving to someone else.”

Alicia (her segment’s called Lili) talks about her family — son Egypt and husband Swizz Beatz and what a connected little unit they are. She revealed, “We’re such a bonded happy family, and I hope that we’ll always be able to be that. For me, the most important thing is that we always take the time to understand each other and grow together. We’re all going to change. Otherwise, it’s boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?” Read the interview here for more insights on these three gorgeous women. We love that they’ve been styled so naturally too!

Alicia Keys And Swizz Beatz Cart Baby Egypt Around NYC

It’s a good thing we didn’t see Alicia Keys’s baby Egypt Daoud Dean in NYC today, or our piercing squees would have been setting off car alarms all over Manhattan. Look at that little serious face! That baby is already so weary of paparazzi. Dad Swizz Beatz was in town to perform in Paper Magazine‘s Sounds Like Paper concert with Joe Jonas in Brooklyn Wednesday night, while mom Alicia celebrated the ten-year anniversary of her album “Songs in A Minor” with a solo concert in New York earlier this week. Meanwhile Egypt did nothing, because having the perfect chubby baby face is a full-time position plus overtime.

2011 BET Awards Green Carpet: Who, What, Wear

Before we can say anything else, how about Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose getting frisky on the green carpet, huh? The 2011 BET Awards took place at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A last night and the duo looked quite happy wrapped around each other! We’re also loving the Dolce & Gabbana blazer and pants combination Alicia Keys wore to the event and Kerry Washington has our vote with that acidic Michael Kors gown. We also totally expected Nicki Minaj to bring on some full-on cray-cray but it was a half-hearted commitment. We think she actually looked quite pretty in the textured pink dress-tight-boots outfit she was working.

If you want the list of winners, click here, but hint hint: Chris Brown and Busta Rhymes are in there. Also spotted were folks like Nelly, Ne-Yo, Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott (love her) and the Smith kids — Jaden and Willow. Of course, Willow’s pal Justin Bieber was there too. Was there any ground breaking fashion? No, but everyone looked really comfortable which is quite a change! Having said that, we would like to forget all about Amber Rose’s shredded catsuit forever. Take a look at our gallery for all the action!
