J.Lo's latest critics include the PETA crowd. Dozens of protesters representing People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals greeted Jennifer Lopez at the premiere of her new movie "Monster-in-Law" with signs declaring her the "monster-in-fur" for her Sweetface fashion collection. The protesters, who included some people dressed in animal suits, complained that they have asked several times that Lopez eliminate fur from her clothing line but have been ignored. "She could make a difference in a positive manner, and what she does is cause the death of a lot of animals," protester Linda Kraemer said during Friday's demonstration at the National Theater in Westwood.

Asked what she thought of the protesters, Lopez replied: "I don't."

Others involved in the film said the demonstration didn't bother them.

"It's America. You have a right to protest and do whatever you want to do," said actress Wanda Sykes.
