Miley Cyrus may be too young for The Hills, but she’s got a supporter on the MTV show.

“She was probably just swept up in the moment and didn’t realize what she was getting into,” Whitney Port told PEOPLE at Thursday’s Lupus L.A. Orange Ball in Beverly Hills, of Cyrus’s controversial Vanity Fair photos. “I can understand how she’s a little bit wary about it.”

Port, who has worked in fashion magazines as well as PR, calls iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz “amazing” - but admits the photos may be a little extreme.

“I think for 15-year-olds, to some people, they’re probably a little inappropriate,” Port, 23, says.

Is it the latest salvo-or peace offering-in the on-going feud between Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Brody Jenner? One thing is certain, Pratt is relying on the power of prayer when it comes to his former pal.

“We pray for Brody,” Spencer said of he and girlfriend Heidi Montag at the LG launch of the “Scarlet” TV series. “Honestly, Brody was such a good friend to me. He hooked Heidi and I up, and I think that everything will work out eventually.”

Pratt and Jenner have been taking shots at one another for so long, they’ve become the reality-TV equivalent of the Hatfields and the McCoys, which only makes Pratt’s latest revelation all the more surprising.

“I wish that Brody and I were still best friends,” Pratt insists, adding, “I pray every day that everything works out between us.”

So could a Spencer/Brody reconciliation be in the works? “Absolutely, 100 percent.” Pratt said. “It’s just going to take time. We’re both very stubborn, in the sense where, he thinks that he’s right, I think that I’m right.”

As an O.C. girl, the closest Lauren Conrad got to the ice was sipping her chilled latte – but all that changed when she moved to Los Angeles and started watching Kings games the last two seasons.

But with Los Angeles failing to make the National Hockey League playoffs this year, The Hills star says, she’s returning to her roots.

“I grew up with in Laguna Beach, in the heart of Ducks country,” writes Conrad, 22, one of the N.H.L.’s celebrity bloggers during the playoffs, which start this week. “Since the Kings are out of it, I’ll adopt my fellow Orange County Anaheim Ducks as my team for the playoffs.”

With the blog, she’ll now have to learn the nuances of the game, and she put out a plea for help: “Is there anything you guys think I should know as I watch the Ducks?”

Audrina has ditched her talent agency UTA, E! News has learned.

That’s right, her talent agency. 

Apparently, the Hills honey thought the agency wasn’t treating her as well as another one of its reality clients: Lauren Conrad.

Hayley Lozitsky from United Talent Agency confirms to E! that UTA is no longer working with Audrina. “We no longer represent Audrina,” Lozitsky tells E! “We still represent everyone else, though. We still represent Whitney, Lauren Conrad and Lo (Bosworth).“

When asked for the reason for Patridge’s departure, Lozitsky declined to comment.
 
But a source close to the situation tells E! that Audrina thought UTA had “a conflict of interest” in repping both she and Conrad. “Lauren was getting all the big offers, all the endorsements, the appearances,” says a source. “And Audrina thinks she should be just as big of a star.”

Sources at UTA confirmed that the agency officially severed ties with Patridge on Friday.

Patridge’s manager, Gladys Gonzalez at John Carrabino Management, declined to comment.

 Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari is done working the small screen, folks. EW.com caught up with the celebrity at the premiere of Keanu Reaves’ next movie, Street Kings, where she had plenty to say about her big-screen plans and nothing to report about the possibility of appearing on The Hills, despite rumors to the contrary. “I have been asked to come back by MTV a million times to be on The Hills or Laguna Beach or to do a different reality show, but I am not interested,” she says. “I am doing what I want to do so I don’t feel pressure to go back. I keep getting jobs. I feel like been there, done that. I did Laguna Beach for two years and had the best time. I feel like I need stuff that challenges me and another reality show won’t do that.”

So what’s Cavallari been up to? She recently starred in a new video for Gavin DeGraw, best known for crooning the One Tree Hill theme song. She also shot a short film that Entourage’s Kevin Connolly directed that… well, we’ll let her describe: “[It's made up of] nine different short films, and the whole thing is called Uncomfortable Moments. My short is called Dry Humping. It is about two high school kids, my boyfriend and I, who are dry humping when his dad comes home and catches us in the act. They are all really funny short, goofy films.”

Cavallari also is set to appear in a beach volleyball movie opposite David Charvet called Green Flash this summer. “That was definitely not a hard job to go to every day. And I am about to go to Canada to shoot a movie. I can’t talk about that yet, though. I’m having a good time!”

A week after a New York Times critic called Heidi Montag a “feminist hero” and said Lauren Conrad “could learn from Heidi right now,” Conrad has spoken out in her own defense.

“I don’t depend on men,” she told Dramarama, a Canadian entertainment blog. “I have my own career.”

The Times critic said Conrad spends her time “pining for [Brody Jenner], who, she has confessed, never makes her feel good enough.”

“You show me the girl that is not affected when a guy that she likes, likes another girl,” Conrad told Dramarama. “I don’t think it makes me any less of a feminist because my emotions are effected.”

“I think that I’m very independent and I don’t let guys effect my life,” she added. “I think in the past I have, and I’ve learned from it.”
