Daniel Edwards, the Brooklyn-based sculptor who gifted the world with works featuring a crowning Britney Spears splayed on a bearskin rug, and the gilded "first poop" of Miracle Baby Suri Cruise, is back again. This time, he turns his celeb-obsessed chisel to Hollywood's supreme scenewhore, in an anti-DWI work entitled "Paris Hilton Autopsy":

To help ram the message home, the Hilton sculpture has an open abdominal cavity and its innards are removable, as if the Simple Life star were really being splayed out for an autopsy. All of the internal organs have been rendered to scale and visitors to the exhibition will be encouraged to don a pair of gloves and pick through the plaster-and-clay remains.

The decidedly morbid display, which will have its unveiling May 11 at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, is designed to "counter the disturbingly glamorized trend of Hollywood's girls-gone-wild," gallery director David Kesting said.

"I think Daniel is really trying to embrace Paris' stance against youth drunk driving and the dangers that alcohol presents to young women in our society right now," Kesting told E! Online.

Hilton, certainly no stranger to the invasive feeling of having the world glimpse one's fleshy insides, has yet to weigh in on this latest controversy. Similarly, her dutiful flack Elliot Mintz had "no comment" for a KCAL reporter—leading us to wonder if Paris is secretly pleased at having finally penetrated the exclusive circles of the art world, and is presently savoring the prospects of long lines of East Coast connoisseurs waiting patiently for their turn to handle her petrified innards, all in the name of furthering the cause of drunk driving awareness.
