Reindeer pelt coat? Just before Christmas? Christina Ricci, how could you? Rudolph and chums were put on this earth to deliver presents and caper about in the snow for the benefit of Lapland tourists, NOT to keep your Hollywood shoulders warm in December. Got that?
Well, it seems she has. After being papped wearing a reindeer-fur coat and slapped onto the cover of a US magazine, it seems Christina has in turn been slapped (metaphorically) by her fans, with what the Mirror describes as a furious backlash. Now, she's apologised.
"I never meant to hurt or anger anyone with my insensitivity. I have received the message loud and clear and will not be wearing fur in the future. I apologise for my offensive actions."
Crumbs, it seems fans do have some power to influence their idols' behaviour after all. Christina joins Paris Hilton, who vowed never to wear fur again after a night round Heather Mills' house watching seals being skinned. On video, I mean.
