An attorney for Stephanie Pratt just pled not guilty on her behalf to a charge of misdemeanor DUI -- and her lawyer says the "Hills" star will check in to rehab.
Pratt's lawyer said she will enroll in a 30-day residential facility.
As we first reported, Pratt was pulled over at 3:45 AM on October 18 after leaving Holly Montag's birthday party.
Pratt's two breathalyzer tests registered .08 and .09 -- the legal limit is .08 -- so she was arrested and held on $5,000 bail.
If convicted, Pratt could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Lori Petty just pled no contest to DUI with injury over her drunken driving arrest back in May -- the one in which she allegedly hit a skateboarder with her car.
The other two charges -- having no proof of financial responsibility (no insurance) and DUI with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher -- were dismissed.
Petty -- who was arrested on May 30 in Venice, CA -- received 60 months probation, $100 in court fees and $395 in fines and penalties.
Petty also agreed to complete a 60 day outpatient alcohol treatment program -- she already has 30 days in the bag.

A refurbished Amy Winehouse is officially off the hook for punching a fan who wanted a picture with her.
Today in London, the judge found Amy not guilty on assault charges -- for the incident that happened after a charity ball last September. While prosecutors claimed the hit was deliberate, Winehouse says she felt intimidated by the drunken fan, but was too short to actually smack the girl in the face.
Winehouse, who showed up to court smokin' a ciggy, was free to go, go, go.

Kanye West's lawyer went to court today and won a delay for West's arraignment for smashing a photog's gear.
The famous Blair Berk reps Kanye, who is charged with vandalism, battery and grand theft -- stemming from a tussle with two photogs at LAX last year. Kanye's manager, Don Crowley, is also charged with two counts of vandalism, two counts of battery and two counts of grand theft. He's repped by prominent defense attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, who wore a yellow pinstriped pant suit to court -- with a necklace.
Bond on both defendants was exonerated because they do not have criminal records and promised to appear for their arraignments.
The incident occurred on September 11, 2008. A TMZ cameraman captured the confrontation ... Kanye can clearly be seen smashing the photog's flash to the ground.
Kanye could get up to 2 1/2 years in jail if convicted on all counts. Crowley could get five years.
Berk and Holley could end up squaring off with TMZ, since our camera got wrecked during the attack. We're only slightly scared...

Chris Brown has just pled not guilty to two felonies -- assault and making criminal threats.
With ex girlfriend Rihanna nowhere in sight, Brown showed up at L.A. County criminal courthouse to face the music for allegedly beating the crap out of her back in February.
Sources inside the courtroom say Chris' mom spent the entire preliminary hearing either in tears or praying for her 19-year-old son. We're told a handful of Chris' friends and four bodyguards were also there to show support.
Brown is due back in court on April 29.

The man accused of stalking Shawn Johnson has just pled not guilty to all three charges -- one felony count of stalking and two misdemeanor counts of carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle. Commissioner Kristi Lousteau ordered Robert O'Ryan to have no contact -- writing or electronic -- with Shawn. He must stay 500 yards away from her and from the CBS lot where "Dancing with the Stars" is taped.
O'Ryan's preliminary hearing is set for April 27 -- bail is set for $220,000.
FYI... O'Ryan's public defender objected to our camera in the courtroom -- to which the Commissioner replied, "What, are you worried about his hair not being combed, or something?"

That pesky child porno case is rearing its ugly head again for R. Kelly.
Kelly is being sued by a private investigator who claims the singer stiffed him on a $300,000 bill. According to a lawsuit filed last week in Missouri federal court, Charles Freeman claims he was hired during Kelly's trial to "obtain and/or recover certain tapes that were said to incriminate" R. Kelly.
Freeman said he did the job, but never got paid. He's suing for damages plus interests and costs.
Kelly was found not guilty on all counts.

Less than one week after Yoko Ono's driver was arrested for allegedly trying to extort his famous boss, a New York state Supreme Court Justice decided that Koral Karson is a flight risk and jailed the 50-year-old chauffeur without bail.
Karson, who is originally from Turkey, was considered a flight risk because of his international ties and questionable immigration status.
Sporting a blue blazer and wearing handcuffs, Karson pleaded not guilty to charges he tried to "steal property" that "exceeded $1 million." Police sources tell TMZ that Koral Karson allegedly told Yoko that he had photos and tapes of the Beatle widow that were highly embarrassing -- and that for $2 million, the tapes would never surface. Ono had other ideas, and called the cops.
If convicted, Karson could face anywhere from 5 to 15 years in prison.
During his arrest, Karson claimed that Ono pressed charges "to stop me from pursuing a sexual harassment case." Yoko's camp called the allegation "completely false."
Karson is due back in court January 11.
