Even with the hustle & bustle of the event, we still managed to grab an interview or two with some celeb kids ,Sally Kirkland & Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich, a candidate for Los Angeles City Attorney.

The fun & playful sister from the hit show Keeping Up With The Kardashians embraces PETA's I'd Rather Go Naked Campaign.  Another hot celeb bites the dust & joins our collection of naked celebrities gone naked for PETA. 

"I never was against wearing fur because I truly did not know how these animals were tortured and killed in order to have these coats and accessories. I am done with fur forever and I have now found so many amazing faux fur lines that are great alternatives for women who love the look and love animals. I love that PETA is all about individuals taking baby steps in becoming aware of animal rights." Khloe states on her blog. See who else is Naked for PETA.

"I am not a full vegetarian but I have not eaten red meat or pork in over 10 years. I still eat chicken and turkey but I am trying to stop completely. I am also extremely careful now not to purchase products that are tested on animals." she continues.   

You can also watch her unveiling party video here or catch up on who else is baring it all for animal rights.
