RZA Honored For Animal Activism At PETA Anniversary Party

Animal rights organization PETA celebrated their 35th anniversary last night, and while you can guarantee that Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian certainly weren’t in attendance, there were some big names in the building. The event was hosted by Anjelica Huston and Pamela Anderson, and featured appearances from Alicia Silverstone, Seth Green, Moby, Tommy Lee, Jason Biggs and many more – as well as performances from Beck and Paul McCartney. Maj! RZA was one of the few honorees of the night, recognized for his dedication to PETA’s animal rights campaigns around the world. “It’s an award that does not aim to reflect my art,” RZA said when accepting the award. “It instead reflects my heart.” Congrats! Check out some pics from the night in the gallery.
