BLIND ITEM: Guess the PETA celebrity

REVEALED: Tony & October Gonzalez (And welcome, BlindGossip.com readers!)

Deceiver-question-markThis anti-fur PETA spokesperson owns several fur-trimmed leather coats. He/She has helped his/her spouse buy many genuine fur coats, “some of which have been purchased quite enthusiastically in recent seasons,” according to one fur retailer who has sold the couple lots of expensive outerwear. These are coats that PETA knows about but doesn’t seem to mind, as long as the resulting publicity is good.

A Los Angeles publicist who supports animal rights groups instructed this celeb, who appears on television more than a dozen times each year, to participate in a 2009 anti-fur promotion with PETA. The spouse was recently overheard telling one friend over the phone: “It’s no big deal.  They just told us we couldn’t wear our coats this year.”

For the past six years, both celeb and spouse have actively courted a prominent fur retailer, seeking support for a children’s charity for which this celebrity serves as Honorary Chairman. The charity’s top sponsor is a pharmaceutical company that tests its products on lab animals, a fact that also doesn’t appear to bother PETA.

Put your guesses in the comments. We’ll award Deceiver.com t-shirts to two correct guessers (randomly drawn from everyone who gets it right by noon Pacific time on Monday, December 7).

    Harrison Ford, and Whatsername. The one that looks like my ex-girlfriend Lisa S.

  2. 2 StrawberryGirl Dec 3rd, 2009 at 5:59 pm

    Demi Moore and the Boy Toy.

  3. 3 John Dec 3rd, 2009 at 6:16 pm

    Brangelina?

  4. 4 jenn Dec 3rd, 2009 at 6:38 pm

    Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony

  5. 5 Elle Dec 3rd, 2009 at 6:38 pm

    I’m gonna go with Pasta on this – HF and Calista Flockhart.

  6. 6 G-ski Dec 3rd, 2009 at 6:42 pm

    I’m just going to take a stab in the dark and say it’s Trump and Melania.

  7. 7 fallingstar Dec 3rd, 2009 at 6:47 pm

    I’m with jenn, J-Lo and Marc were the first to come to my mind.

  8. 8 kentruth Dec 3rd, 2009 at 7:06 pm

    Oh a stab in the dark here but I’m guessing Posh and Becks aka David and Victoria Beckham

  9. 9 Athena Dec 3rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm

    Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

  10. 10 BetC Dec 3rd, 2009 at 7:53 pm

    I’m having a hard time thinkg of a MARRIED Celebrity & spouse who’ve been together 6 years. You’d think that’d narrow it down some but I’m drawing a blank.

  11. 11 Beige Dec 3rd, 2009 at 8:33 pm

    I’m going w/Demi and Futcher or Asston or whatever.

  12. 12 Kristine Dec 3rd, 2009 at 8:59 pm

    Somehow my very first thought was Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin… so I’ll stick with it. The marriage thing does seem to severely narrow the list.

  13. 13 Eve Dec 3rd, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    Will Smith and Jada Pinkett?

  14. 14 AllyKat Dec 3rd, 2009 at 9:49 pm

    I searched 20 pages of Google results for 2009 PETA anti fur campaign celebrity. Most pages list the same five people, who aren’t married. I refuse to click on anything that might support PETA, so I was mostly limited to reading the summaries. I’m going with Tony Gonzalez and his wife who is apparently named October. No joke.

    Isn’t it sad that Britney Spears had/has the sense not to pose/support PETA, but few others in Hollywood have yet to realize their idiocy? A girl who actually HAS mental problems (not knocking her for it, not her fault) gets it, but supposedly competent (I use the term loosely) people don’t. Come on now!

  15. 15 Mister Snitch Dec 3rd, 2009 at 10:49 pm

    This would be a better contest if the t-shirt had fur trim.

  16. 16 Rocky Lore Dec 3rd, 2009 at 11:06 pm

    I don’t know why, but I’m going with PETA hypocrite (and Cover Girl spokeshack) Ellen DeGeneres.

  17. 17 Meg 2.0 Dec 3rd, 2009 at 11:14 pm

    I am going to say Posh and Beckham. Only because that bitch can waear fur and suede like no other. Plus doesn’t Calvin Klein do testing on animals?

  18. 18 That person Dec 3rd, 2009 at 11:31 pm

    First instinct: All of them?
    Now I’ll go with GOOP.

  19. 19 Jason M Dec 4th, 2009 at 12:48 am

    Gonna go with Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt.

  20. 20 The Oversneer Dec 4th, 2009 at 12:53 am

    I will offer two hints: It is not someone we’ve blogged about here at Deceiver. And the anti-fur campaign in question has happened within the past 12 months.

  21. 21 Jason M Dec 4th, 2009 at 1:27 am

    Well, poop.

    I’ll go with Tony & October Gonzalez then.

  22. 22 KFC Lover Dec 4th, 2009 at 2:52 am

    I’m guessing Pink or Kellie Pickler but I’m probably wrong.

  23. 23 Nati Dec 4th, 2009 at 6:32 am

    Tony Gonzalez and his wife…but I googled it, I would have never guessed it, so that’s cheating. My original guess was Mariah Carey and her kept man…whatever the name is, but I suppose that’s wrong.

  24. 24 angry army wife Dec 4th, 2009 at 9:36 am

    I will go with Posh and Beckam. The quote sounds like something Posh would say. And they are models of many different things and I am sure the products are tested on animals.

  25. 25 bigmama Dec 4th, 2009 at 10:29 am

    Who is Tony Gonzalez?

  26. 26 MC Mom Dec 4th, 2009 at 11:46 am

    Tight end for the Atlanta Falcons.

  27. 27 Swede0319 Dec 4th, 2009 at 11:58 am

    I’m going with Pam Anderson and whatever poor slob she’s hooked up with as of 4 Dec. 2009.

  28. 28 lil mikey Dec 4th, 2009 at 12:48 pm

    yep – Shadow Buddies Foundation – Honorary Chairman – Tony Gonzalez. Lead sponsor – Sanofi Aventis.

    Nice going PETA, your hypocrisy astounds!!!

  29. 29 Pastafarian Dec 4th, 2009 at 12:53 pm

    Sally Struthers and whoever she’s married to.

  30. 30 Pastafarian Dec 4th, 2009 at 12:58 pm

    Russel Simmons and Kimora Lee

  31. 31 Minnow Dec 4th, 2009 at 12:58 pm

    Yep. It’s most likely Tony Gonzalez who has a foundation named after him. There was a blurb last Sunday by a commentator, the wife claims that they weren’t actually nude. If she’s dumb to boast about that, she’s dumb enough to think she can wear fur again next fall.

    But as my backup geek wild card, I’ll add Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica, Horatio Hornblower) and wife Kerry Norton (also Galactica). They work with SPARKS (pediatric neuroblastoma research). Apparently Bamber’s totally against bear fur, which I kinda thought went out of fashion sometime around Napoleon’s tour of greater Waterloo.

    (I’ve also now exceeded my parenthetical quota for the day)

  32. 32 Jeannine Dec 4th, 2009 at 1:59 pm

    Has to be Tony Gonzalez and October– the appearing on TV over 12 times a year is a football hint and he has that shadow buddies charity

  33. 33 Pastafarian Dec 4th, 2009 at 2:50 pm

    Who the Hell is Tony Gonzalez?

  34. 34 cassidy Dec 4th, 2009 at 3:08 pm

    My first guess would have been the Beckhams. I don’t follow football so had no clue who Tony Gonzalez even was until I read it here.

  35. 35 angry army wife Dec 4th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

    No clue about Tony Gonzalez. I am a Bengals fan :)

  36. 36 California Dave Dec 4th, 2009 at 3:44 pm

    Yeah, Tony and October.

  37. 37 Scott Dec 4th, 2009 at 4:09 pm

    I’m gonna go with Brad and Angelina due to:

    “children’s charity for which this celebrity serves as Honorary Chairman”

    They’re highly involved in adopting, er helping, children.

    The snow bunnies foundation, or whatever, doesn’t sound like a children’s gig.

  38. 38 AllyKat Dec 4th, 2009 at 4:46 pm

    Y’all are just copying me now!

    I didn’t even know all the foundation stuff, I just saw their names on a list, and put the 12 times a year thing with it. Maybe I am smart! Of course, having posted this, it’ll probably be someone else.

    I sort of follow football – if the Redskins win (hahaha), you get double toppings at Papa John’s that Monday. :)

  39. 39 Kevin Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:47 pm

    I’m going out on a limb and think it’s Tom Bergeron and his wife. He fits a couple of the original hints and the second group of hints. Plus he’s not unknown for liberal causes. I watched 5 min of that awful show he hosted on the Green Channel. It was a bunch of self-absorbed ‘celebs’ talking about how ‘green’ they are around cocktails and food.

  40. 40 Pastafarian Dec 7th, 2009 at 3:30 pm

    Tiger Woods, and his wife. Hey why not?
