Jenna Jameson is stripping down just four months after giving birth to twins. Just last week, the former adult film queen posed for an upcoming Playboy Magazine spread and filmed a new advertisement for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ upcoming McCruelty campaign against fast food giant McDonald’s.

The 30-second ad — due next month — will see Jenna posing in a sexy strapless dress while describing the company’s slaughter of chickens.

“Chickens killed for McNuggets are slammed into metal shackles. Spinning blades meant to cut their throats often tear through their wings or bodies instead,” she says in the protest campaign.

“Many birds survive this terrifying, painful process, only to be scalded to death in de-feathering tanks. There’s a less cruel method of slaughter that renders chickens unconscious, but McDonald’s chooses to allow birds to be mutilated and scalded instead.”

Jenna Jameson previously appeared in PETA’s campaigns against Kentucky Fried Chicken and the use of fur and leather in the fashion industry.

PETA Slams Victoria Beckham’s Love Of Hermes Handbags

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has slammed former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham for supporting a fashion chain that uses crocodile skin in its products.

The singer-turned-designer reportedly has a handbag collection estimated to be worth more than $1 million and is regularly seen with a Hermes bag on her arm. Officials at PETA are urging Victoria to give up the luxury brand because they frequently use animal skin.

“We will send Victoria Beckham, a compassionate person who won’t wear fur, our undercover footage that shows how alligators and crocodiles are beaten to death and how snakes are nailed to trees and skinned alive for these products,” says a PETA spokesperson.

“The mere thought of purposefully breeding and killing crocodiles for an outdated, overpriced handbag should make any fashionista’s skin crawl.”

That other cute guy from The Mentalist has stripped down to his bare chest for a new ad campaign in cooperation with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Series star Simon Baker may have been voted TV Guide’s “Sexiest Man on TV,” but his castmate Owain Yeoman shows that his abs are a force to be reckoned with in a PETA ad encouraging folks to consider adopting vegetarianism.

Owain, a vegetarian himself, was inspired by his wife Lucy Davis, who had previously posed for a PETA ad.

“I’ve seen how violently animals raised for food are treated, and I don’t want to support that,” Owain’s poster reads.

The Mentalist airs Tuesday nights at 9 PM on CBS.

Audrina Patridge, star of MTV’s The Hills, has joined forces with PETA by posing in a new ad encouraging animal lovers to adopt furry friends from shelters and rescue groups rather than purchasing from breeders or pet shops.

“I wanted to get involved with PETA because I’ve always been passionate about animals, and I think this is a great way to make people and all my fans aware of all the animals that need a home. And a lot of people go to pet stores and breeders to buy their animals, but you should adopt, so go to an animal shelter and rescue a dog,” Audrina says.

The ad reads: “Buying animals means killing animals… Each year, six to eight million unwanted dogs and cats are turned in to shelters, and half are killed because there aren’t enough good homes.”

Joined by her own rescued pooch, affectionately dubbed Speedy Gonzalez, Audrina also urges pet owners to spay and neuter their cats and dogs to prevent unwanted births.
