Kylie 'cold-blooded'

Kylie Minogue is feeling the squeeze from animal rights campaigners who have called her cold-blooded for carrying a python purse.

Minogue is one of a number of celebrities singled out by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) for wearing fur or other animal products.

"What does Kylie Minogue have in common with her python purse?" Peta asks on its website. "They are both cold-blooded."

However Kylie avoided the fate of soul singer Aretha Franklin, crowned this year's worst-dressed celebrity by Peta for wearing "yet another vulgar fur" at the Grammy Awards.
