Kelis: Funny, smart, mentally unhinged.

Kelis, who can be seen here revelling in her own fabulousness, took her pet chinchillas for a walk around London and unsurprisingly PETA weren't happy. Most pop stars who incur the wroth of PETA just don't say anything about it. They refuse to comment. They want to wear dead fox skin but they refuse to defend themselves. Well Kelis (as always) is different and is fully defending herself. In an open letter to the aforementioned animal welfare organisation Kelis has 'slammed', 'blasted' and torn several new arseholes for them. She's made some good points, some terrible points, but luckily she is literate, funny and no-nonsense enough to carry it off.

We're not condoning the wearing of fur (mainly because it feels gross, no matter what the moral implications) but we have to respect someone willing to stand up for something they give a shit about (in a mildly humorous way) where others shy away from responsibility.

Anyway, what we're really trying to say is that if we were going to send an ambassador into space to speak to aliens about the importance of the words 'fierce' and 'bitch' we'd send Kelis as a delegate.
