(30 Jun 2006) SHOTLIST 1. Arrival Stella McCartney 2. Chrissie Hynde 3. Sadie Frost 4. Gillian Anderson 5. Mary McCartney 6. Martina Navratilova 7. Pamela Anderson arrives 8. SOUNDBITE (English) Pamela Anderson - on calls for royal family to stop using real fur in Queen's guards bearskin hats: "I know that's awful, I think we've written to Royalty and asked them to stop using real fur because you definitely can't tell the difference and so we had tons of petitions and tons of people sign, and so I'm hoping that it goes away. I think they kill one bear per hat, which is terrible (Q: So if you could give a message to the Queen or Prince Charles what would that be?) Just to please start using fake fur in their bear-skin hats, and I think that Stella has said already that she would help and be a part of it, help design the non-fur ones." 9. B-roll Pamela Anderson signs autographs 10. SOUNDBITE (English) Pamela Anderson - stars who wear fur: "I think it's really disgusting, I think people that wear fur are unconscious people, first of all it makes you look fat and you smell like a wet dog if it rains, you know people get given free fur coats to wear all the time and if you're that unconscious to wear it, I don't think that's glamorous at all. (Q: Is there a need to name and shame?) Well especially the ones that are starting to put them in their clothing lines like J-Lo and Beyonce, I think there's just so many other things, they're such beautiful women and such smart, great role models that it's really important for them to be conscious of what they wear, especially as they're fashion icons. So it's really sad to me to see them wear that, because I don't think young girls are thinking about the cruelty that goes into a clothing line, they're thinking about Beyonce wearing it... So they're beautiful girls and I would hope that they don't continue to put that in their line." 11. Topless models pose in window, Pamela Anderson joins them 12. WS audience 13. SOUNDBITE (English) Mary McCartney: "I want to dedicate my award to my mum, who is the inspiration to me and other people here tonight." 14. WS audience 15. SOUNDBITE (English) Stella McCartney: " The way that we were brought up was a huge part opf the way that me and Mary now live our lives and I really would like to thank my mum and dad obviously for their influence an guidance to show us and educate us about treating fellow creatures with respect, so I guess this award is for my mum who I am sure would be just, she would be so proud, Chrissie she was a great friend of yours and she would be so proud to see everyone here tonight in this shop, I know that she would have just been so happy that all of this has been done." 16. WS audience 17. SOUNDBITE (English) Pamela Anderson: "Everyone here I can just see is like 'this is the place that we want to be.' We want to be compassionate and cool like Chrissie Hynde, not like Beyonce, anyway, you just are all wonderful, thanks again to Diana for her generosity and to Stella who has set such a great example in fashion, and from all of us goodnight. " MCCARTNEY SISTERS PRAISE PARENTS Stella and Mary McCartney, who were honoured today for their support of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) both dedicated their awards to their parents. Also honoured was 'X-Files' star Gillian Anderson for drawing attention to the treatment of animals in laboratories and zoos and rocker Chrissie Hynde for calling for an upgrade of humane standards in fast food and clothing companies.
