Khloe Kardashian, who once posed nude for a PETA ad, has dropped her support for the animal rights organization after the group spoke out in support of the ‘flour-bombing’ last week of sister Kim.

But now Weiss has landed a deal with Random House to turn it into a memoir to be titled ‘The Heavy’ -- and leading to more criticism that she is profiting at a child’s expense. [The Cut]
