Audrina wants to learn more about diabetes
Audrina Patridge was scheduled to take part in tonight’s Joslin Under the Stars benefit to defeat diabetes, but “The Hills” star had to cancel at the last minute to shoot some scenes in Spain for her hit MTV show. We spoke to Patridge about the event this summer, when her publicist Gladys Gonzalez hooked us up with an interview. We mention her publicist’s name only because of her unexpected influence over the interview. Although Patridge will not be able to attend, hopefully she’ll someday be able to “learn more about it.”

How did you get involved with Joslin Under the Stars?

A few people that are close to me went to it the past few years and they really loved it, and my manager actually introduced me to it. I just think it’s great cause, you know, hanging out with all the kids. I think it’s something that is really important and hopefully it will lead to a cure.

So, it’s not that anybody close to you has diabetes?

No.

Do you do a lot of things like this?

I’m just being introduced to all these, so I’m not too familiar, but this is definitely one that I’m interested in and I’m going to be a part of it. There’s another one coming up around Thanksgiving, but I’m just kind of new to all this. [Metro Boston News]
