Pamela Anderson Urges Cate Blanchett To Snub Armani 10/2/08

Pamela Anderson has written a stern letter to Aussie actress Cate Blanchett, urging the Oscar-winner to stop wearing Armani clothes.

The model/actress has teamed up with animal rights activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) - to encourage A-list stars to shun fashion designer Giorgio Armani over his refusal to cut fur from his lines, and now she's taking aim at one of the fashion guru's closest friends.

She wants Blanchett to wear other designers' creations to red carpet events until Armani agrees to stop using fur. In her letter to the Elizabeth star, Anderson writes, "Cate, as you are such a huge part of Armani's publicity machine, would you please urge him to keep his promise and leave fur out of his future collections?"

A spokesman for the designer has confirmed Armani plans to cease using all but rabbit fur in future creations, adding, "As a luxury fashion house, which has always been attentive to this issue, we feel we are being unfairly targeted in comparison to our competitors."
