    Ha ha ha what a FREAKIN LOSER! She was trying to do an intervention on Holly because she has a drinking problem?! PLEASE! That's what that busy body gets for hating on her sis-in-law. DUMB-ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They never spend any time in jail, it's just a pity party for these these celebs. If a regular non celeb did the same thing, they'd be in jail same with Khloe Kard. what did she spend, 2 hours? They just want publicity, negative doesn't matter. I can't stand any of the Pratts, Yuck!

    It's so hard to watch women struggle with addiction. I hope she gets the help and support that she needs... www.safeharborhouse

    When will people learn, and that means ALL people, learn that drinking and driving, no matter how many drinks you've had, should not be permitted! Call a cab or have a sober person there to drive! How can any of you ignorant people defend this twit, and think it's okay to say, "She only had 2 drinks, its no biggie.." because it is a big deal! I've lost someone who was struck by a drunk driver, and it doesn't matter how many drinks you've had before you got behind the wheel, the law states you are not to drink and drive! Plain and simple!

    Wow people are so judgemental. I agree... let the one without fault or past mistakes cast the first stone. All of our houses are made of glass walls. Better drop your fist full of rocks honey!

    What is the over/under on her stay? I say 30 minutes. Don't send her up the river because her brother is a bag

    let's stop wasting everyone's time - she will end up spending about as much time in jail as Khloe Kardashian Odam - it's all about stars & $$$$$$$$

    Please, she should not have been arrested. Waste of taxpayer money.

  • October 29, 2009 - 5:42pm Um..wow

    Um...wow. Most of you are the hypocrites. I bet almost all of you have probably got in your car and started driving with a higher alcohol level than that. Stephanie has admitted to being a past alcoholic. Yeah, she did lecture Holly about her drug issues. Did you guys ever stop to consider maybe she's lecturing Holly so she won't end up the same way? Stephanie probably knows she what she does is bad and is screwing her up inside so she just might be looking out for her sister-in-law. Not everyone has to be the devil.

    And she sat there told Holly she had a problem lol how funny is that?

  • October 29, 2009 - 5:06pm anon

    Good point mags! And well put. Good job.

    A .08 or .09 BAC is about the equivalent of 2 drinks, serioulsy...the girl was hardly wasted, though should not have been driving, but I still don't think it should be blown into this huge deal...and I don't think she will go to jail, especially if this is her first DUI/offense.

    She's not going to jail. I can't believe you people fall for this.

  • October 29, 2009 - 4:05pm Khloe

    Funny Stephanie was just insinuating on Monday's show that Holly...Heidi's older sister had a drinking problem.

  • October 29, 2009 - 3:55pm Nay

    she'll pay a fine and do some community service. It's BS!

  • October 29, 2009 - 3:50pm Tina

    please, we all know she won't go to jail...especailly for 6 months!!

  • October 29, 2009 - 3:46pm My Name

    Please. It's LA, she'll be in and out in half an hour. That's the way it is there and that's why everyone in LA wants to be famous, because they know they can do anything they want and get away with it. Such a hellhole.
