Kristin Cavallari's Mom Gets Busted For DUI

Police in Barrington, Illinois confirm Kristin's mom -- Judith Spies (that's her mug shot above) -- was pulled over at a DUI checkpoint at 2:15 AM late last month. Law enforcement sources tell us Kristin was riding shotgun at the time.

Judith was arrested for DUI. Police say her car was impounded since Kristin admitted being drunk and couldn't drive.

We're told Kristin did not play the "do you know who I am?" card ... impressive since she's rumored to be dating Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler -- and we know how much Chicago loves Da Bears.

Kristen's rep had no comment.

Kim Kardashian: Why I Didn't End Up Like Paris

Kim Kardashian's frenemy Paris Hilton was arrested over the weekend for felony cocaine possession -- her third link to drugs this summer.

How has Kardashian, 30, managed to stay out of trouble?

"I've never been a drinker, I've never gotten into drugs," she said on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Tuesday. "You know, I think I have such a close family. I think, you know, at a young age. I think you know my sisters do enough drinking to kind of fill up the whole family.

"From a young age, my dad made it very clear that, 'OK, you're the responsible one and you have to watch your sister, and (he) taught me how to drive when I was 14 in case my sister or her friends were going to be drinking and I always had permission to drive," continued Kardashian (whose younger sister Khloe was arrested for DUI in 2007). "You know, I had to call him from the destination and the final place. I always felt this sense of pride that he had in me that I was the responsible one so I always wanted to make him proud. And I hate the taste of alcohol."

She does, however, indulge in a White Russian occasionally.

"I said at 30 I'm gonna at least have a drink to lighten-up 'cause my sisters say I'm so boring," she told Leno. "So I tried a White Russian a few months ago. If I have one, it tastes like chocolate milk and it's kind of amazing. So every once and a while, but I'm 30 so it's OK."

Paris Hilton Arrested on Cocaine Charges

Paris Hilton was arrested Friday night and booked into the Clark County Detention Center for possession of a controlled substance, described by Las Vegas Metro Police as cocaine.

CBS News legal analyst Lisa Bloom says a conviciton would probably mean more time behind bars for Hilton.

She was a passenger in a car driven by her boyfriend, Cy Waits, when Metro conducted a traffic stop around 11:30 p.m. Friday in front of the Wynn Hotel and Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip, according to Officer Marcus Martin, public information officer, who spoke with CBS affiliate KLAS-TV.

During the course of the traffic stop, police say, they conducted a search and found an undisclosed amount of cocaine in Hilton's purse.

An officer indicated to KLAS that a possible odor of marijuana was initially detected, requiring further interaction with police.

Hilton was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

A clerk at the Clark County Detention Center indicated early Saturday morning that Hilton "had been booked and released." Further details were not available from the jail.

A Metro watch commander also said the driver, Cy Waits, was arrested for DUI. TMZ reported Hilton and Waits were headed to Las Vegas on a private jet from Los Angeles Friday. Waits runs several nightclubs in the city.

Stephanie Pratt's Advice To Lindsay Lohan

Stephanie Pratt can definitely relate to troubled party girl Lindsay Lohan.

Back in October, the Hills star was busted for DUI after leaving a Hollywood bash. The 24-year-old, who has admitted to drug and alcohol addiction in the past, spent 30 days in a rehab facility and was subsequently sentenced to three years of probation.

At Tuesday's series finale party for her MTV hit, Pratt offered advice for Lohan, who is to report to jail July 20 for a probation violation related to her own 2007 DUI.

"When I got in trouble again, instead of spiraling, I took it as a positive and I was on trial," Pratt told UsMagazine.com.

"I took it as God was testing me... If [Lindsay] just does her time and gets the help, I see her having a great comeback. I really think to always keep a positive outlook on everything."

Still, although many predict Lohan will only serve a fraction of her 90-day jail sentence, a source says in the new Us Weekly that the actress is in "total denial" about her fate.

Jason Wahler Arrested for Hitting A Female

Known for his numerous run-ins with the law, breaking reports tell that Lauren Conrad's ex, Jason Wahler, has once again been arrested for assault.

With the incident taking place during the early hours of Sunday morning (June 6), TMZ tells that the former "Hills" badboy hit a female party attendee after an argument.

Immediately after the blowout, Wahler was taken into custody and has since been charged with one count of misdemeanor battery.

This is the sixth alcohol related arrest for Jason with his last legal snafu coming by way of DUI in March 2010.

Jason Wahler Pleads Guilty to DUI

The Hills star Jason Wahler was sentenced Monday in an Orange County, Calif., courtroom to three years probation after pleading guilty to drunk driving.

Wahler, 23, also received three months in an alcohol-offender program and two days in jail, although he was given credit for time already served.

The reality TV star was arrested two months ago in Newport Beach, Calif., with a blood-alcohol level of .19, more than twice the legal limit.

A rep for Wahler couldn't be reached for comment.

Jason Wahler: "I Am Ashamed of Everything"

Former Hills star Jason Wahler says he felt incredible "shame" when he made headlines again last weekend for his sixth alcohol-related arrest in recent years. A week prior, online video footage also surfaced of Wahler, 23, being cuffed by Mexican police in Cabo San Lucas March 11 after he allegedly got into a club brawl.

"I am very ashamed of everything," he tells UsMagazine.com. "I am very sorry for everything that's happened."

So what went wrong for Wahler, who claimed in 2007 that he had cleaned up his act and even did a stint in rehab?

About six months ago, he tells Us he moved back to Orange County from L.A. and enrolled in the University of Phoenix in Fountain Valley, Calif., hoping to earn a business degree. He even began going to AA up to five times a week. "I had a sponsor and stuff," says Wahler. "You know, the whole thing."

While traveling to L.A. "doing the whole movie stuff," he says he "got distracted" and "started falling out of the program ... I lost contact with my sponsor."

On March 19, he was taken into custody at 10:54 p.m. for DUI while driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe. He likely will face jail time. He declined to talk about the incident, but he tells Us, "I think everything happens for a reason. God did that to me, so maybe I would be at [rock] bottom and want to climb my way to the top."

"It's all about getting back on track," Wahler tells Us. "My girlfriend, my parents, my brothers, my sisters and a handful of my best friends are willing to do everything to keep me out of trouble."

Jason Wahler Arrested For Sixth Time

The Hills's Jason Wahler is facing almost certain jail time following a drunk driving arrest in Newport Beach, Calif., Friday evening.

Wahler, 23, was taken into custody at 10:54 p.m. for DUI while driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe, Newport Beach Sgt. Evan Sailor confirms to PEOPLE. He was released on his own recognizance hours later.

Last week, video surfaced online of Wahler being cuffed by Mexican police in Cabo San Lucas March 11 after he allegedly got into a fight at a nightclub.

This is at least the sixth drinking-related arrest for Wahler in recent years.

In a 2007 interview with PEOPLE, Wahler admits: "I did try drugs, but it was never my thing. It was alcohol, for sure. It would take me about 10 drinks before that other side came out. It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

Last year, Wahler, who once dated Lauren Conrad, saw his engagement to college tennis player Katja Decker-Sadowski called off.

No Jail Time for Hills Star Stephanie Pratt

Pretty Hills hotties don't belong in jail.

Good thing Stephanie Pratt isn't headed there, even with that whole "my heels made me do it" excuse.

The MTV reality star reached a deal with the district attorney stemming from her Oct. 18 DUI arrest following sister-in-law Holly Montag's birthday bash at a Hollywood nightclub.

To avoid donning an unflattering orange jumpsuit, she pleaded no contest to the reduced charge of exhibition of speeding and vowed to enroll in a three-month alcohol-treatment program and to spend eight weeks wearing those heels to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She'll also have to manage 36 months of probation.

"I'm happy about the outcome," a smiling Pratt told E! News exclusively. "I enrolled in Betty Ford Clinic for two weeks right after my DUI arrest."

Even though she'll be spending time dealing with her sentence, prepare to see much more of the 23-year-old in the coming months. Shooting on The Hills resumes next week.

"I'm looking forward to getting back to work," she said.

Stephanie Pratt Regains Drivers License, Clothes

Clear the road. Stephanie Pratt will be back on it shortly.

Less than two months after being charged with DUI, The Hills star has had her license reinstated. That's good news for her, but bad for the rest of us.

Looks like she recovered more than just her driving rights, too.

Stephanie apparently found the clothing she lost in those racy Maxim pictures we posted last week. Good Lordy. Who knew Spencer's lil' sis had that in her.

Stephanie Pratt Not Fired From The Hills

Today a rumor popped up that Stephanie Pratt has been fired from The Hills, but Hollyscoop can report exclusively that it’s false information.

Star magazine reports that Stephanie was fired by MTV from the reality show as a result of her DUI arrest. The source said, “Producers like cat fights and broken romances, not drama that involves breaking the law. Stephanie just became this major mess and was too much of a liability.”

The insider claims Stephanie worked out a deal with the network to make it look like she was leaving on her own terms. “The show is her only identity. To avoid public embarrassment, her MTV bosses allowed Stephanie, 23, to make it seem like she was quitting over drama with bad girl Kristin Cavallari,” said the source.

But Hollyscoop spoke directly with Stephanie’s rep, who told us exclusively, “As of right now Stephanie is still in negotiation for a 6th season on The Hills with MTV. We have not heard anything from the network about her leaving. Stephanie was not on the last 4 episodes of the show for this most recent season due to her having to take some time off to handle her DUI. This story is false.”

Like we said before, if Stephanie does decide to leave the show, it’ll be on her own terms!

Stepping out for a fashionable evening, Stephanie Pratt was spotted at the Dr. Romanelli Fraggle Rock Clothing Collaboration last night (December 9).

The “Hills” babe looked lovely as she arrived at Kitson to help collect holiday toys to benefit the LA Mission, sporting a black cardigan, black dress, and black heels.

As for her DUI drama earlier this year, it seems that Stephanie has reformed her ways and decided to give up drinking.

During a recent interview she told press, “My license is… obviously I don’t have one right now. But it’s not even for a reason of drinking, because I’ve given that up all together.”

Stephanie Pratt: Gearing Up for DUI Trial

Stepping out for an evening on the red carpet, Stephanie Pratt was all dolled up for the Power 100 Women in Entertainment cocktail party held at Damiani Diamonds in Beverly Hills on Thursday (December 3).

The “Hills” hottie smiled while posing for pictures at the Damiani Diamonds/The Hollywood Reporter co-hosted event which drew out the likes of Lady Victoria Hervey, Olivia Munn and Andrea Bowen, among others.
Aside from hitting up swanky Tinseltown shindigs, Miss Pratt is gearing up for her DUI trial – which kicks off on January 21st.
Getting the scoop on what’s to come, attorney Jon Bryant Artz told E! News, “On Jan. 21, three things may happen. The trial may start as planned, it may continue to another date, or we may reach a settlement.”
Artz adds, “What’s going to happen is we will show up at court and I will ask the judge for a trial. As we’re waiting for a courtroom to become available, the D.A. and I will talk and we may reach a deal.”

Stephanie Pratt’s Thanksgiving Mission

Lending a helping hand to those in need, Stephanie Pratt was among the stars dishing out meals at the Los Angeles Mission on Wednesday afternoon (November 25).

The “Hills” hottie joined the likes of Corbin Bleu, Olesya Rulin, Kayla Ewell and Debby Ryan in greeting thousands of people by handing out plates packed with turkey and all the trimmings.

The good deed comes as Miss Pratt currently finds herself dealing with legal matters stemming from a DUI arrest - of which she’s still awaiting sentencing.

Recently rumored to have checked into rehab, Steph shot down any such thought, tweeting a few days ago, “I’m turning off my phone-this is ridiculous pls stop telling me where I am. I’m not in rehab for the 100th time. Gnight.”

Stephanie Pratt’s Time Behind Bars

Making a red carpet appearance before she heads to rehab, Stephanie Pratt was all smiles at the “Planet 51” premiere in Los Angeles on Saturday (November 14).

The “Hills” hottie is currently prepping for a 30-day treatment session ahead of her court date for a DUI charge she racked up in October.

Of her stay in jail after being arrested, Steph told FOX Pop Tarts, “The first four hours of jail my head was down, I was hunched over telling the cops ‘you don’t know what this is doing to me. My parents are just going to freak out.’ I felt awful and I was sobering up.”

She adds, “It wasn’t like I was passed out and got to sleep. I was up for nine hours thinking about what I had done. The next five hours I was thinking, ‘This isn’t going to defeat me, you’re strong enough. You’re not going to mess up. It’s a blessing that you’ve got this time to get it together.’”

Stephanie Pratt: Stronger After DUI

Just days before the episode of “The Hills” aired with Stephanie Pratt confronting Holly Montag about her drinking; Pratt herself was pulled over and arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Hollywood.

Reality struck the 23-year-old and she now tells that she’s thankful for it, because it made her stronger.

“It was the worst thing to happen to me and, at the same time, it was the biggest blessing. I learned to not fall apart, which is something that I usually do when something goes bad in my life. I learned that it is all about temptation and that I am being tested.”

Living life in Hollywood can get to you, and Pratt is ready to change her arrest from embarrassment to the better.

“This is the first time that I haven’t screwed up more after a bad thing and I didn’t fall apart and say, ‘I hate my life, I want to die!’ It’s the first time in twenty-three years that I went the other way!”

And she has already tried a new direction from her old Hollywood ways. “Two weeks ago I found a partner for a handbag line that I’ve dreamed about since the seventh-grade,” Pratt says, “and I’m closer to my parents and I’ve never been happier in my life! I’ve had problems in my past, but I would just let them turn into snowballs that turned into avalanches. And this is the first time that I’ve ever done anything different.”

Stephanie Pratt: Rehab Bound?

Stephanie Pratt’s recent arrest for suspicion of DUI may have finally scared the troubled Hills star straight. Just hours after Stephanie was released on bail on October 18, she confided to a pal that she was going to rehab.

“Stephanie is going to enroll in an outpatient program in LA to deal with her use of alcohol,” her pal explains. “Getting a DUI was the wake-up call that she needed to get professional help for her drinking problem.

Like a lot of people, she needed something to shake her up. She realizes it could have been a lot worse.” Stephanie, 23, was at Holly Montag’s birthday party with Hills co-star Stacie Hall just before her DUI arrest.
