Sharon Osbourne has been praised by PETA for urging people not to buy real fur.

The 57-year-old recently told of her disgust by posting a message on Twitter.

She wrote: “Louis Vuitton foxtail handbag accessories make me sick. Please do not purchase those! It’s heinous.”

The star has been praised by Peta for her comments.

They said: “We’re not the only ones loving Sharon Osbourne’s compassionate tweet against Louis Vuitton – her wise words have been re-tweeted again and again by people across the internet.”

Nicky Hilton has directed Twitter followers to the memorial fund set up for Casey Johnson on the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s website.

Hilton tweeted five hours ago: “Donate to the Casey Johnson Memorial at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. http://tinyurl.com/ya5gyot.”

The Johnson&Johnson heiress has been laid to rest at a family property in New Brunswick, New Jersey, according to press reports.

She had juvenile-onset diabetes and was insulin-dependent. Her body was discovered last Monday after she died alone at the guest house of her Hollywood home, aged 30. Hilton and Johnson were childhood friends.

The foundation stated: “[The] Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation family mourns the passing of Casey Johnson. The Johnsons have always been an integral part of JDRF, and our deepest sympathy is extended to the entire family. You can make a donation to JDRF in memory of Casey Johnson, which will fund research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.”

While autopsy results are pending for Johnson, the 911 call made by a maid who discovered her reveals her medication often got “screwed up”.

Former Liberian president Charles Taylor presented Naomi Campbell with a blood diamond at a dinner hosted by Nelson Mandela, his Hague war crimes tribunal heard.

Taylor, 61, has pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the 1991-2001 civil war in neighbouring Sierra Leone.

Prosecutor Brenda Hollis said Taylor obtained diamonds from Sierra Leone rebels and took to South Africa to sell or exchange them for weapons.

She said: “From among those diamonds that you took to South Africa, after this dinner that you attended you sent your men to Ms Campbell’s room to provide her with a large — diamond.”

But Taylor denied the allegation. “That is totally incorrect,” he said.

Hollis said: “That diamond that you sent to Naomi Campbell was one of the diamonds that you had been given by the junta in Sierra Leone.”

To which he replied:”Total nonsense.”

Hollis said the gift was made after a dinner hosted by Mandela in 1997, when he was president. The dinner was attended by celebs Quincy Jones and Mia Farrow, who was listed as a witness. Campbell allegedly told Farrow of the diamond gift the following day.

Casey Johnson’s fiancee Tila Tequila can’t stop the ‘haunting visions’ of the star following her recent death.

The 28-year-old posted messages on her Twitter page following the news that her fiancee Johnson, 30, who was the heiress to the Johnson and Johnson fortune, was found dead at her LA home.

She wrote: “R.I.P my Angel. @caseyjonsonJnj u will forever be in my heart! I love u so so much and we will Marry when I see U in Heaven my Wifey.

“I can’t stop these haunting visions of her and I. We made such a lovely couple, only beginning to spend the rest of our lives together.”

She had previously wrote on the page that Johnson was in a coma, but it is thought that she has passed away.

Burlesque performer and model Dita Von Teese has revealed that most of her fans are women.

She said: “When I first started doing what I do, a lot of my fans were men. It is interesting the way it has shifted and the majority of my fans are women now, probably 80 per cent.

“I started thinking about that more over past several years, why that is. I think a lot of women like to see another kind of sex symbol that doesn’t fit into the blonde, tanned, California beach babe beauty.”

Von Teese, who is currently promoting her book Dita Striptease, is dating French aristocrat Count Louis Marie de Castelbajacin.

Actress Kerry Washington has become the latest Project Runway celebrity judge.

The Fantastic Four star joined German supermodel Heidi Klum on the hit fashion design show as another wannabe was cut.

Washington is the new spokesman for L’Oréal, appearing in ads alongside Scarlett Johansson and Eva Longoria Parker.

Washington and her fellow judges were asked to give their opinions on complementary pieces to go with previous designs they had sent down the runway.

A stalker whose victims included the widow of late Crocodile Hunter TV star Steve Irwin has been jailed for a year.

Alexander Duncan Davidson, 71, sent a letter to Terri Irwin, telling her to “get over” his death and threatening her daughter Bindi, 11. It also said he was “sick of seeing her” in the media.

Davidson, from Melbourne, Australia, left his address and phone number at the bottom of the letter.

When police asked him why he sent it, he replied: “I think she should get a life and move on.”

Melbourne Magistrates’ Court was told he was a “very unusual man” with little remorse. Davidson, who has four previous stalking convictions, admitted harassment.

Actress Jennifer Garner has steered tactfully away from a question that keeps dogging her.

Will she and her husband Ben Affleck ever work together again?

After brazenly fielding questions at the Toronto International Film Festival about her director in The Invention Of Lying, Ricky Gervais, Garner breezily broached the Ben question.

“The question keeps coming up, and we have literally never spoken about it. I think he’s a beautiful director obviously and such a gorgeous writer but, y’know, to go to work with him, I would just be like, I need to go home to the kids.”

The pair, who have two children together, worked together in 2003 on Daredevil.

Garner, 37, also said she took a year off after making The Invention but was guns firing to take on a challenge. She gave birth to her second child in January.

She added: “Definitely, the frequency with which I’ve worked is totally different because I went years without a single day off. So I have to really love [a role] to feel like it’s worth uprooting the family and putting us somewhere else.”

Kate Beckinsale showed off her “giant hands” that look like they belong to “a large man or a transsexual” on a US chat show.

The Brit held her hands up against host Conan O’Brien’s to prove just how big they really are.

O’Brien thought Kate was exaggerating when she explained how her big hands help her handle guns in her on-screen action roles.

But he was left stunned as Kate showed him her hands are even bigger than his.

Kate told him: “I have got the hands of an actual large man or a transsexual I think.

“I’ve got way big hands. You’re at least 17ft tall. I’ve got bigger hands than you, for sure.”

The audience gasped as Kate – who also used her big hands to check she hadn’t suffered a wardrobe malfunction – proved her point by going palm to palm with O’Brien.

She laughed: “Check that!”

And O’Brien admitted: “Those are giant hands you have.”

Kate covered her throat and joked: “Don’t look at my Adam’s apple.”

She told O’Brien: “Evidently, in order to be very good with a gun it’s very good to have big hands and I haven’t found a use for them yet. They just sort of flop there.”

Carol McGiffin has shown off her sexy body in a gold bikini in one of her holiday snaps.

The Loose Women presenter went on holiday to Greece with her toyboy fiance Mark Cassidy and he took a photograph of her in the bikini and white platform shoes.

She said: “I thought it was a joke, but he said if I show it to everyone, I’d get a lot more male attention.

“Here I am on holiday in my joke gold bikini and my white platform shoes posing at the door of our room. Don’t you think it’s a bit Austin Powers?”

The 49-year-old said she doesn’t get much male attention but said: “Over a certain age you only get it from behind.”

She added: “So sometimes we get, ‘Beep beep’ and you turn around and they go, ‘Eurgh’.

“I don’t mind it at all but I don’t get it. I don’t get male attention. I get it from Mark and that’s the only person I really want it from. I was quite flattered by something Robbie Williams once said about me in Heat magazine but I don’t really get it,” she told Loose Women.
