PETA and Christian Serratos: Naked snow bunnies

The California native flew in Friday and told us the snowstorm wasn't going to stop her: "It will ruin everything but PETA's determination." At some point during the party, Cho decided it would be fun to go outside naked and grabbed one of the ads off the wall, with Serratos and Ryan close behind. "The snowplows almost drove into the cars," said Govinda owner Chris Murray.

Um . . . we couldn't help but notice that the young actress kept her clothes on. What's that about? "She wanted to go naked, too, but her mother wouldn't let her," explained Mathews.

Tenn. boy, 4, caught with beer, stolen gifts

(AP) – 4 hours ago

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Tennessee investigators say a 4-year-old boy was found roaming his neighborhood in the night, drinking beer and wearing a little girl's dress taken from under a neighbor's Christmas tree.

The child's mother, 21-year-old April Wright, tells WTVC-TV the boy "wants to go to jail because that's where his daddy is." Wright says she and the boy's father are going though a divorce.

The boy, found outside his house in Chatanooga on Tuesday, was taken to a hospital and treated for alcohol consumption.

Hamilton County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Janice Atkinson says the incident is being investigated but the department declined to release the report.

The boy's mother says she met with child protective services and was told she will get to keep custody of her son.

Joanna Krupa on PETA Ad Criticism: God Would Disagree with Catholic League

Joanna Krupa

Joanna Krupa came under fire this week after unveiling a provocative new PETA ad — in which she wears only a cross — deemed "totally inappropriate" and exploitative by the Catholic League. The outrage is exactly what the Dancing with the Stars alum expected and wanted, she tells TVGuide.com, because controversy is "the only way" to alert others to a cause. "Sometimes I am ashamed of being a human being because of what we created and how we hurt the defenseless and less fortunate," Krupa says. "That is shocking and despicable to me. All I've done is to raise awareness through a controversial ad that I am truly proud of." See what else Krupa has to say about the criticism, what positive reaction she's received and her plans for future ads.

TVGuide.com: Who came up with the idea for the PETA ad? Why the Catholic theme?
Joanna Krupa: When PETA approached me to do an ad again, my team told them we wanted to make sure the concept is controversial, sadly, because that's the only way to get your message out there. It takes controversial photos for us to think about pressing issues. Otherwise, we would rather go on watching and debating Jon and Kate [Gosselin]'s financial fights or Lady Gaga's costumes, while millions of helpless animals are dying. We all brainstormed and came up with the church theme, which I love. 

TVGuide.com: Did you anticipate this reaction?
Krupa: The reaction is far better than I expected. Of course I was prepared to earn criticism and create controversy, but that was the whole point — to stir up emotions. To make people think, talk, discuss and direct attention to the horrific fact that millions of innocent animals are being euthanized each year. Millions!

TVGuide.com: Are you bothered by the criticism?
Krupa: I respect [that] everyone has his own sensitivities. But I, like many, see no clash or contradiction between a partially nude body and a cross. I am a proud Catholic and I am sure God is looking down shaking His head in disagreement with the Catholic League's comments. ... My mom is very supportive while being a very old-school Catholic. ... The cross I am wearing in the ad represents pain and hope, which is all these animals have when they are dumped in shelters or put in tiny cages and bred their whole life, and hope is what we are trying to bring to this extremely tragic situation.

TVGuide.com: PETA has been criticized for using "shock tactics." Does that take away from the causes they're trying to highlight?
Krupa: If it wasn't for PETA's shocking ads and videos, most people like myself would never be aware of the troubling truth. It wasn't until my sister accidently opened a PETA link to their investigations on China's fur farms and how they skin these poor animals alive while they bleed to death [that] I took the stand for animals, not caring about the possible consequences, and posing nude for the anti-fur campaign. Human beings created this and I believe my job as a human being is to make noise to put a stop to all this cruelty.

TVGuide.com: What kind of positive reaction have you received?
Krupa: I have received tons of amazing, positive e-mails and Twitters supporting me and congratulating me for standing up for these poor creatures and ignoring what the Catholic League is saying. Some said that the Catholic League needs to worry about the half-billion dollars they spent on child abuse cases and not criticize an innocent ad to save millions of animals and spread the awareness.

TVGuide.com: What can people do?
Krupa: If you suspect animal cruelty, call the right sources. Don't buy fur, adopt from shelters instead of buying from breeders and puppy stores, and make sure to spay or neuter your pet.

TVGuide.com: After this, what's your next ad going to look like?
Krupa: I did my anti-fur campaign some years ago, noticed it made an impact and saw how several fashion designers now have switched from fur to fake fur. PETA played a vital role here; I know that as a fact. Many other celebrities are doing an amazing job drawing attention to the brutality against animals and I know they'll make an impact. If there is another pressing issue, be it for animals or children, I will always do what I can when asked. For here and today, I simply want to make sure people know that this Christmas they can be an angel by adopting a pet from a shelter.

Joanna Krupa vs. Catholics: Animal Rights, Not Blasphemy

Today 7:30 PM PST by NATALIE FINN

Hello people,

We had an exciting 3-day storm which left much of the Tidewater region underwater and without power the last few days. Here are some pix:

 

It was fun playing in the streets, which became rivers, until the cops told us there were downed power lines and the water might be electrified. Oh well, I always wanted a perm.
