Stephanie Pratt, of The Hills fame, reflected on her experience of being charged for driving under the influence.

The sister of reality television celebrity Spencer Pratt was pulled over after attending the birthday party of Holly Montag, the sister of his wife, Heidi.

Stephanie, 23, said: “It was the worst thing to happen to me and, at the same time, it was the biggest blessing.”

Ironically, Heidi and Spencer were not in attendance at the party. Pratt, who was speaking to reporters at the Maxim and Ubisoft launch of Assassin’s Creed II in West Hollywood, said: “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.”

Another coincidence was an episode of The Hills in which she berates Holly over drinking. Stephanie also said: “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 23 years that I went the other way.”

She also counted her blessings as being made a partner of a dream handbag line and being closer to her parents than she ever had, saying: “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.”

Cobra Starship has a new music video out for ‘Hot Mess’, the latest single off of their album of the same name. Lead singer Gabe Saporta talked to MTV about the video, saying “This video, we really thought about it. We said, ‘Hey, we’re going to have matching outfits! We’re gonna take it to the next level. We’re gonna top [our] ‘Good Girls Go Bad’ [music video].” And I think that they accomplished just that. It’s a fun and interesting video to watch. They’re proving to be a band to really look forward to when it comes to their performances, videos and music.

Actress and journalist Lucy Liu travelled to Cairo to promote a film she produced about children being taken and sold into the sex trade in Cambodia.

Liu, 40, who narrated for the documentary Red Light, said the fight against human trafficking is “really going to take a long time” and underlined it was the third most profitable business in the world after weapons and drugs trading.

The former The View co-host visited several UNICEF-backed programs in Egypt while care was taken not to reveal too much about their locations to avoid stirring political controversy.

She said: “The first step is there are a couple of projects that exist and that is something wonderful.”

Egypt’s First Lady, Suzanne Mubarak, launched a global initiative to fight human trafficking in 2006. Liu, meanwhile, also recently made headlines in relation to diplomatic rescue of her kidnapped sister and another journalist from North Korea, by former President Bill Clinton.

After hearing Rihanna’s side of the story on 20/20 last week, Chris Brown just couldn’t resist talking crap about the Barbadian babe. The R&B singer sent a statement over to MTV, talking about Rihanna’s decision to air the private matter, saying “While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.” He just can’t take the heat of being the bad guy.
