The wait is over! Self-proclaimed 'American Royalty', Ms Paris Hilton, has been ousted from her number one spot on PeTA's annual 'Worst Dressed Celebrity List' for 2006, by on-again-off-again bestie Nicole Richie.
Fur Is Dead, PeTA's anti-fur news website, reports that their top four this year are Nicole, followed closely by Ashley Olsen, Christina Ricci and Eva Longoria. The creme de la creme of the announcement, however, was PeTA's reasoning behind their choices:
"1. Nicole Richie: This pelt-wearing party girl is all animal skin and bones. She's an incredible shrinking woman with the heart to match.
2. Ashley Olsen: Wearing fur does add 20 pounds, but if Ashley wants to fill out her frame, we suggest using a fork instead.
3. Christina Ricci: Disregarding the holiday season's "Peace on Earth" message, Ricci recently posed for a magazine cover wearing fur from slaughtered reindeer. At least she's not into fur hats: Imagine how many more pelts it would take to cover that forehead.
4. Eva Longoria: You'd think she'd be more sympathetic to the plight of rabbits considering the way she screws around like one on Wisteria Lane."
In the words of another furry animal: "Miaow!"
