CATHERINE ZETA-JONES will face the wrath of animal rights activists on Saturday (13Feb10) when they gather outside her Broadway play A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC to protest her love of fur coats.

The Welsh actress’ controversial wardrobe choices and animal skin accessories have landed her atop a new Worst Dressed poll by officials for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

In a statement, PETA bosses say, “With her creepy cow-skin pants, ugly fox coat, and icky alligator bag, Catherine Zeta-Jones looks like she’s working her way through Noah’s ark with a knife. Maybe she’s trying to get into character for an upcoming role as a serial killer - or a taxidermist.”

And campaigners will make their opinions clear when they stage a protest outside the Walter Kerr Theatre in the heart of Manhattan, New York before Saturday’s matinee performance, reports U.S. news show Access Hollywood.

But Zeta-Jones isn’t the only star to come under fire for her unethical fashion picks - PETA activists claim Jennifer Lopez looks like “Jenny from the butcher block in her old-school corpse coats”, while Aretha Franklin, Rihanna, Jessica Simpson and mother and daughter duo, Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson, also earn mentions on the list.
