PETA launched a new site today specifically targeting the Olsen twins, who they've re-named "Hairy-Kate and Trashly," the "Trollsen Twins," and re-drawn in an unattractive cartoon form. The site features games, videos, merchandise, and you can even take action by sending the Olsens a letter. This is an aggressive attack on PETA's part — do you think they've gone too far this time?

Fab Flash: Nicole Miller and Stella McCartney, Fur or Anti?
In response to the NYC Animal Rights' plans to stage a rally outside her Spring 2008 show on September 5, Nicole Miller has announced that she plans to be fur-free starting in the Spring. She says that her current use of fur is "miniscule," about 0.008% of the total items sold under the Nicole Miller label, but after NYC Animal Rights started a smear campaign on their website, with one section dubbed "Nicole Miller Animal Killer," she reconsidered.
