MadonnaMadonnaWe know how chilly it can get in the winter months.

But Madonna's preferred way of keeping warm has angered the likes of Peta.

Madge and hubby Guy Ritchie were out for dinner at Cecconi's, an Italian restaurant in Mayfair.

She stepped out, wrapped up in a three quarter-length fur coat, designed by Fendi and costing around £35,000...

Cue the angry animal rights protesters.

They state that 60 chinchillas which were killed to make it.

It's not the first time Madge has donned fur.

She once nearly fell out with Stella McCartney, who accused her of "wearing a foetus" after she was snapped in a knee-length Persian lamb coat.

Madonna's spokesman has declined to comment.
