24: Kiefer's In Trouble Again
What are we going to do with you?
Rehab, perhaps?
Kiefer Headbutts Man Over Brooke Shields
Kiefer Sutherland rose to Brooke Shields's defense early Tuesday morning in Downtown Manhattan – though she didn't particularly request it, and the interloper allegedly suffered a broken nose from the 24 star, according to reports.
"There was an incident that occurred at 2 a.m. at 99 Prince [Street]," a NYPD spokesperson tells PEOPLE. "It's all under investigation by the police department … People will come in sometime this afternoon [to be questioned].
New York's Daily News reports that Proenza Schouler women's wear designer Jack McCollough – a friend of Shields's – interrupted her and Sutherland while they were speaking outside the SoHo nightspot SubMercer, resulting in an agitated Sutherland allegedly headbutting McCollough after the two men exchanged words.
Witnesses also say Shields was shoved but not hurt. All were out for an after party following the Met's Costume Institute Gala, and a rep for Shields denied she had anything to do with the alleged headbutting. "Nothing happened to her ... Jack did nothing inappropriate. It's not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did," the rep told TMZ.com.
The designer reportedly received a minor cut on his nose. McCollough is quoted as telling authorities that Sutherland "was drunk and obnoxious and wouldn't back down or be logical," and that the actor "pulled this stupid wrestling move like a teenager" before the headbutt.
Police and friends of Sutherland's told the News that Sutherland was intoxicated. The paper says that both Sutherland, 42, and Shields, 43, are expected to speak to the police on Wednesday.
Last fall, Sutherland served a seven-week sentence for DUI.
The incident was first reported on N.Y.C. nightlife blog Guest of a Guest.

Awesome. Not the first time someone got drunk and picked a fight. At least most shows are on filming hiatus now, so this shouldn't affect anything.
Awesome. Dude was a women's clothing designer, he deserved it.

Agreed.
At least this time he attacked an actual human being and not, oh, I don't know...a Christmas Tree.

Re: 24: Kiefer's In Trouble Again
I love the headbutt move. THAT'S what came to mind as a good idea.
I wonder if he not only gets drunk and tells people he's Jack Bauer, but he may actually think he is Jack Bauer while intoxicated.
Now if he'd only pull that move on Garafalo on the show, I'd be happy...

Just based on interviews I've seen with him (when he's sober), he seems like he is a pretty good dude, but he needs to get his shit together.

He's a functional drunk.
Interesting that we never hear of these types episodes while he's filming.. only while he's on hiatus.
There are many people who only drink excessively on weekends or while on vacation and don't think they're addicts because they're able to work everyday and they don't have to drink everyday.
Meanwhile, they're putting many at risk driving drunk or making idiots of themselves like he did last night when they do get drunk.
I've seen him in interviews and he is a stand up guy ... he did his time in jail without fanfare last year, but it's obvious he took nothing from it.
He needs to admit he has a problem and get help.

Re: 24: Kiefer's In Trouble Again
These shenanigans are more or less okay when you're in your 20s, a little sad when you're in your 30's and pathetic when you are in your 40's. Grow up, Kiefer!
