Lily Allen shrugs off PETA criticism

Lily Allen's latest music video, in which she sits astride a zebra, has angered PETA, but the singer says she doesn't care.

British singer Lily Allen has shrugged off criticism of her latest pop promo by animal rights activists, insisting she doesn't care who she offends with her antics.

The Smile star releases her latest single Air Balloon in March and the accompanying video was unveiled earlier in February.

Footage of Allen sitting on the back of a zebra in the promo was condemned by bosses at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with a spokesman blasting the star for using animals as "props or transportation".

However, Allen is adamant she is not upset about the criticism, telling Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "You're always going to annoy someone so it doesn't really bother me."
