Kristen Johnston Naked, on Horseback, for PETA

November 28, 2008 · Print This Article

Kristen Johnston is the latest celebrity to succumb to the clothes-taking-off wiles of PETA.

(Side note: What do those vegetarians put in the (filtered, never bottled) water around there? And why don’t they ever get famous guys to strip? Where’s Clooney? Or whether they want to keep it all carrot munchers, fine, get a guy from one of their fifty zillion “Hottest Vegetarians” lists. I’m just saying, it wouldn’t hurt to show us some famous pecs once in a while.)

Anyway, back to Kristen. Probably best known for her work on “Third Rock From The Sun” with the very brilliant John Lithgow, Kristen is posed, naked, with an extremely fake looking distant blond wig (no animals harmed, just our artificial hair sensibilities) on top of a fake horse to protest horse-drawn carriages in New York City.

Aside from rolling my eyes at the mind-crushing, rom-com

banality of a caleche ride around Central Park, like most society I hadn’t given much thought to the horses when they’re not on duty.

Suffice it to say, they live badly, and watch the video here of Kristen talking about her journey of animal cruelty discovery, whether you are so inclined.

It’s good to see Kristen doing anything. She’s had some health problems recently, and seems to be doing better now. One thing’s for certain, her next film definitely won’t include a scene where the heroine gets a marriage proposal in a horse-drawn carriage!
