My whole life has changed: I get up earlier, I want to exercise, I feel better, my skin feels better.” (Photo: Courtesy PETA)

Loves Animals - We’ve seen her play a tough gal on the big screen, but Taraji has a soft spot for furry creatures. The animal lover is a PETA spokesperson (she even stripped down for one of their “I’d Rather Go Naked…” campaigns) and advocates for dogs everywhere. This gentle and caring side of her personality is evident in her role in No Good Deed, as a protective mother who will stop at nothing to keep her daughter from harm.(Photo:  PETA)

Taraji P. Henson - The actress bared all for PETA in 2011 and admitted to once wearing fur until she saw a video that showed how animals are killed for their skin. "We're not just even talking about a full-length fur coat," Henson said. "I'm talking about just, like, fur on your gloves or on your jacket or — what goes into making that little piece of fur ripped my heart out."  (Photo: Courtesy PETA)

Wendy Williams - Williams is encouraging those who have old fur coats to donate them to PETA's drive so they can be given to the homeless this winter.

As a decent person with compassion, it just seems like the right thing to do," Williams said. (Photo: Courtesy PETA)

"Bullying and harassment is NEVER a solution, and I won't be a part of any organization that thinks otherwise." (Photo: Courtesy PETA)

Eva Mendes - In 2007, the sexy actress turned her back on fur saying, "I feel like in recent years, due to pop culture, fur has made a comeback. Some people still see wearing fur as glamorous and a sign of prosperity. Personally I think wearing a baby chinchilla says, 'I'm ignorant,' vs. saying 'I'm a badass.' I don't think you can force people to change their attitudes, but you can help to educate them and to lead by example." (Photo: Courtesy PETA)
