Buckingham Palace: Queen’s new outfits won’t use real fur

LONDON >> Buckingham Palace says new outfits designed for Queen Elizabeth II will not use real fur.

The palace said the decision does not mean the queen will dispose of all the fur outfits she already has.

The palace statement said, “The queen will continue to re-wear existing outfits in her wardrobe.”

The decision pleased animal rights activists, who have sometimes criticized the monarch for the fur pieces in her collection of designer clothes.

Claire Bass, director of the Humane Society International/UK, said, “We are thrilled Her Majesty has officially gone fur-free.”

Lil Peep’s posthumous EP, ‘Goth Angel Sinner,’ is released

NEW YORK >> A posthumous EP from Long Beach-raised rapper Lil Peep has been released, fulfilling a promise he made to fans shortly before his death in 2017.

“Goth Angel Sinner” features three tracks — “Moving On,” “Belgium” and “When I Lie” — all of which had been circulating on the internet before this official release.

Along with the release of the EP comes a video for “When I Lie,” directed by Lil Peep and his frequent collaborator Rayn.

Shot in Hamburg, Germany, during the 2017 tour supporting his album “Come Over When You’re Sober (Pt. 1),” the video consists of Peep perched on a stool, smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer in a bar with dim red lighting.

“It was a spur of the moment video,” Rayn said in statement. “As soon as someone from the venue led us down to the green room, Peep and I looked at each other and said we have to shoot a video here.”
