PETA targets Star Jones |

As many of New York City's gossip hounds suspect her husband, Al Reynolds is gay, Star Jones is likely no stranger to drag queens. Still, she's probably never met one this familiar. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is using Flotilla DeBarge, a 6-foot drag queen, to impersonate Jones in their new campaign against fur. The ad features Flotilla as Jones wearing a wedding dress and white fur coat splashed with blood. It states "A fur on your back is blood in your hands. Take it from "Star Jones": Fur is a Drag." Star is a well-known fur enthusiast and often makes PETA's worst dressed list. PETA planned to unveil the ad today outside the studio of Star's show, "The View." PETA has also targeted Jennifer Lopez recently in their campaign against fur, protesting many of her recent promotional appearances for her new album, "Rebirth".
