The cat sat on the mat :P

It has emerged today that the rug Kate Winslet lounged on for her Vanity Fair photo shoot was made out of REAL fox fur.

The Titanic actress, who is an anti fur advocate was led to believe the rug she posed on was faux fur by the magazine. Vanity Fair has been forced to apologise to the actress although they issued a statement saying

"Although there were both real and fake furs on set, the fur we used in the photograph is real. We thought Miss Winslet was aware of this and we're sorry for the miscommunication"

Kate's photographs have caused much speculation this week, mainly over her 'seemingly' perfect body. People have suggested that the photo's have been severely photoshoped, with her figure completely reshaped.

Even though this is usual practice for magazines, Kate Winslet has previously gone on the record saying that she was proud of her curves after GQ magazine used photoshop to make her look thinner and taller in 2003. 

This is all very interesting....not.

The reason this article caught my eye was more to do with a serious sense of De Ja Vu.

The previous week in a class assignment we had to invent a story from the phrase, 'the cat sat on the mat'. Me and my two friends concocted a story about an actress with strong views on animal rights, who was duped into sitting on a rug made out of snow leopard fur for a photoshoot!

How funny.
