LA DUI Defense

Kim Kardashian, star of the hit reality television show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, knows a thing or two about public exposure. Scores of people have already seen her bootylicious bod in the buff thanks to her previous sex tape scandal and her equally infamous Playboy photo shoot. Thus, when her sister Khloe Kardashian posed nude for a PETA campaign ad recently, Kim played the part of the supportive sibling.

The girlfriend of the New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush wrote a blog entry slamming critics who claimed that Khloe’s photo for the animal rights group was airbrushed extensively for the campaign. Kim says:

“I am so proud of Khloe for following her passion for animals. Some bloggers are being harsh about her PETA ad, claiming her photo was heavily airbrushed… But photographer and good friend Troy Jensen, who shot the ad, was quick to quell the rumors saying…

‘I really did NOT do any body shaping on [Khloe]. I didn’t do computer sculpting or liposuction on it at all. She has very smooth skin. She’s also the wild child of the group so I wanted wild hair – it’s a beautiful shot.’”

Khloe herself has a few words as the latest celebrity to participate in PETA’s I’d Rather Go Naked anti-fur campaign:

“Compassion is the fashion this holiday season, so join me in boycotting fur. With all the stylish and super-warm things you can wear, it’s easy to have a killer look without killing animals.”

Khloe, the youngest daughter of the late defense attorney Robert Kardashian, is known as the “voice of reason,” the “free spirit,” and, most infamously, as the “Sasquatch” among the Kardashian sisters. Besides the PETA campaign and co-owning the LA clothing boutique DASH, Khloe is also known for her recent arrest for DUI.

Several stars have already participated in PETA’s campaign, all of them posing in their birthday suits to further the cause against fur use in fashion. Some of these celebrities who decided to bare all for a cause are actress Eva Mendes, Jackass’s Steve-O, Playboy bunny Holly Madison, and supermodel Janice Dickinson.

Dennis Hopper is a hard-drinking truck driver who loses control of his truck under the influence and slams it into a busload of screaming children. After serving his five year sentence, Hopper finds his daughter, Cebe, the love of his life, grown into a rebellious punk in a backwater town. Having barely been looked after by her junkie mom, Cebe’s hopes of once again becoming a “normal” family painfully, prove to be doomed, as she desperately tries to hold everyone together. Hopper’s loose, naturalistic style and sympathetic yet critical attitude infuses the drama with a painful power that finally erupts in a devastating & thrilling conclusion.

Dennis Hopper knows how to grab the attention of an audience. In the opening minutes of Out of the Blue, Hopper’s hard-drinking truck driver jokes with his daughter before losing control and slamming his truck into a busload of screaming children. With the camera recording the excruciating impact from inside the cab, putting the audience helplessly in the driver’s seat, the cinematic whiplash jerks the audience out of any preconceived notions of how this drama will play out. Five years later, daughter Cebe (a brilliant, brooding, angry performance by Linda Manz of Days of Heaven) has grown into a rebellious punk in a backwater town barely looked after by her flighty mom (Sharon Farrell), a well-meaning but childish junkie. When Dad is sprung from jail, Cebe’s hopes of a whole, healing family poignantly and painfully prove to be doomed when a spontaneous picnic collapses into bickering and blame. Cebe desperately tries to hold everyone together as the suddenly dutiful child, singing the Elvis tune “Teddy Bear” as if her love and passion will infect her hopelessly self-absorbed parents. The film occasionally lapses into pop psychology observations, but Hopper’s loose, naturalistic style and sympathetic yet critical attitude inflects the drama with a painful power that finally erupts in a devastating conclusion. –Sean Axmaker
