"Beyonce&amp;apos;s epic Super Bowl halftime show was a hit with fans and fellow celebs -- who joked that the star&amp;apos;s fierceness caused the Superdome blackout -- but not everyone was so &amp;quot;Crazy in Love&amp;quot; with her performance. PETA, in particular, took issue with the singer&amp;apos;s costume, a custom Ruben Singer ensemble made of leather, iguana, python, and other materials.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We would take a bet that if Beyonce watched our video exposes...She&amp;apos;d probably not want to be seen again in anything made of snakes, lizards, rabbits, or other animals who died painfully,&amp;quot; the group said in a statement about the elaborate design, which featured a removable motorcycle jacket over a black leather bodysuit with a Chantilly lace flounce skirt. &amp;quot;Today&amp;apos;s fashions are trending toward humane vegan options, and Beyonce&amp;apos;s Super Bowl outfit missed the mark on that score.&amp;quot;\r\nThis is not the first time the superstar has clashed with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Earlier this year, Jay-Z&amp;apos;s wife reportedly came under fire from the group for the Christian Dior mink coat she wore to President Barack Obama&amp;apos;s inauguration (the site of her recent lip-synching controversy).\r\n\r\nPETA&amp;apos;s problems aside, however, Beyonce still has plenty of people in her corner -- including Real Housewives of Atlanta&amp;apos;s Kenya Moore. And it appears the fandom is mutual: Following her halftime show on Feb. 3, the &amp;quot;Girls (Run the World)&amp;quot; singer paid tribute to the Bravo reality star by using Moore&amp;apos;s signature catchphrase, &amp;quot;Gone With the Wind fabulous,&amp;quot; to describe her post-show feelings.\r\nMoore -- who has said that she is mistaken for Beyonce &amp;quot;every day&amp;quot; -- was floored by the mention. Talking to Bravo about the comment, she gushed: &amp;quot;I was absolutely speechless. I was elated to know that my favorite singer watches the show and that she&amp;apos;s adopted my saying. It&amp;apos;s obviously original to me and means so much to me from a personal standpoint, and to compound all of that, it felt like she was Team Kenya.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n(Moore is in an ongoing feud with fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Stewart. In December, she told Us Weekly that Stewart&amp;apos;s behavior was &amp;quot;crass&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;disrespectful.&amp;quot;)\r\n&amp;quot;I joke about [Beyonce] being my twin, but it&amp;apos;s just because I love her so much,&amp;quot; Moore said in a blog post on Bravo&amp;apos;s website. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s all in fun, and I&amp;apos;m just glad that she watches the show and doesn&amp;apos;t mind my silly comparison...It&amp;apos;s the ultimate compliment and nod. I just live for her -- she gave me life by doing that.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
