Peta Is Not Happy With Oscar de la Renta & Dr. Dre Fur Headphones

2012-01-12T12:24:00.000-08:00

The limited edition headphones, designed in collaboration by Dr. Dre and Oscar de la Renta, cost $695, and are covered in fox fur.

The headphones are described on Oscar de la Renta's website as covered "in luxe silver fox."

"Form meets function as these high performance headphones deliver rich, full sound from a portable and stylish unit," reads the description.

A PETA official, Michelle Cho, sent an open letter to Dr. Dre, urging him to "keep fur and exotic-animal skins out of your Beats by Dre designs."

Did Rachel Zoe Have A Facelift?!

2012-01-12T11:44:00.001-08:00

Did Rachel Zoe spend $30,000 on plastic surgery? The folks at In Touch believes so. This week's issue features side-by-side photographs of Rachel in 2005 and today — and some lines and wrinkles have magically disappeared since then! The copy reads, "her miraculous transformation is not the result of healthy living."

If Rachel did, indeed, have a facelift. It looks very natural and subtle. I think she looks great!

Rihanna Using The Word Nigga After Criticizing A Dutch Magazine For Using The Word

2011-12-29T00:18:00.000-08:00

Last week pop star Rihanna was the victim of racism. A Dutch magazine "Jackie" did a fashion story about how to dress like the trendsetting superstar and, in turn, called Rihanna “the ultimate n***a b***h.”

Rihanna got wind of this and naturally took to Twitter to express her outrage and disgust. She wrote to the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Eva Hoeke:

“@evajackie I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000′s of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That’s your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past!"

In a surprise twist. Rihanna confessed to a fan that she uses the N word daily. As a fan (now ex fan) I was shocked that Rihanna would use such a malicious humiliating word. Especially after she said herself "the word is degrading to an entire race". So why is it ok for her to use it? I'm a caucasian female and I believe the word is full of hatred and should never be used by anyone. No matter the race. I'm so disappointed that Rihanna who has a platform to do so many positive things would encourage ignorance.

African Americans, and particularly performers and media influencers, should be more conscious of the images and values they are using to define and represent their culture and people. Otherwise, it may be increasingly difficult to be taken as anything other than hypocritical when the N-word comes home to roost in the future. See Rihanna tweets below.
