Animal rights organization PETA has removed Britney Spears from it’s Annual Worst Dressed Poll. When PETA launched its Annual Worst Dressed Celebrity poll at FurIsDead.com late last week, Brit took an early lead over other featured celebs, including Kate Moss, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, and Kid Rock. PETA, now feels, however, that Brit might be a little too fragile for anymore public mockeries right now and have removed her name from the poll. They’re probably afraid she’ll come hold them hostage.

“People with lil’ kids shouldn’t dress like Lil’ Kim,” PETA Senior Vice President Dan Mathews said of the decision to remove Brit from the running for Worst Dressed Celeb. “But at this point, Britney needs a break — from everybody. Maybe when her head is clear, she’ll have a change of heart about wearing fur. If not, we’ll be back biting at her heels.”

Kate Moss is now in the lead.
