Christina Aguilera

 

American pop star, Christina Aguilera has taken the title of her album 'Stripped" quite literally by posing nude for PETA in Christmas e-card.

The 27-year-old star wears just a pair of saucy gloves in the card, and tells shoppers not to buy fur this festive season.

"When I was 6 years old, I had a little fur coat, but that was it. That's the only time I've ever had any in my life," said Christina.

She also proclaims herself as a hardcore vegetarian and also urges people to go for synthetic fur instead of real, thereby saving some money in the process.

"When I became a vegetarian, I just started reading more and more about where fur comes from and what they do to the animals," she says.

"It all went hand-in-hand together. That was when I was 15."

She adds: "They make really great synthetic fur - you really don't need real fur.

"And it's cheaper, so why spend the money? The holidays are also a time when people freak out about their finances.

"If you don't want to spend the money, why not try some of the other options instead of killing a bunch of animals?"

Christina has now joined the likes of Alicia Silverstone, Pamela Anderson, Sophie Monk and Jamelia who have also posed nude for PETA.
