Gwyneth Paltrow Apologizes To PETA For Wearing Fur

I think by now most of you know how I feel about PETA.  Let's leave it at that.  But, they obviously have influence over what some celebrities wear since Gwyneth Paltrow has officially apologized for wearing fur during a photo shoot for Tod's.  Here's what PETA wrote about her wearing fur:

“Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be the apple of her daughter’s eye if she continues to flaunt fur.It’s a terrible example to set for a young child, promoting an industry that electrocutes animals, snaps their necks and skins them alive.”

And Gwyneth responded:

“That was awkward, and I’m glad you asked, because I do not wear fur at all. It was a daylong photo shoot on a boat near Capri, and there were all sorts of poses with all kinds of clothes—none with fur. During one set-up, a stylist came up from behind and draped a stole around my shoulders. I didn’t pay much attention to it, and when I noticed it was fur I assumed it was fake fur but did not ask, so it’s my fault. I was very surprised when they ended up using that one shot out of hundreds for the centerpiece of the Tod’s ads. I know it’s not a great excuse, but I hope you and your members understand.”

So now that PETA and Gwyneth have kissed and made up the organization is hoping that she'll participate in their ‘Meat’s Not Green’ campaign since she and her family are "pretty much vegetarian."

Are you buying Gwyneth's excuse?
