Kiefer Sutherland of Fox’s hit show "24" turned himself in to New York City police at four o’clock PM on Thursday after allegedly head-butting a fashion designer who got between him and Brooke Shields at a nightclub on Monday.
Sutherland was reportedly talking to the actress when Jack McCullough wiggled his way between them. That led to an ugly confrontation. McCullough says TV’s Jack Bauer used his head to knock him in the face, leaving him with a broken and bloodied nose.
According to the New York Post, Shields is friends with both of the men and she regrets the "unfortunate situation."

Kiefer Sutherland is a grandfather, perhaps it is time he grew up.
And for the record, I think his show is reprehensible in that it promotes torture as a viable way to obtain information. ‘24" is desensitizing people to the horrors of torture, giving the incorrect impression that torture is a good way to get truthful information and thus the show is having a negative impact on our society.
DeBurca, more negative than many realize. See the below links for how "24" actually influenced some young and stupid policymakers; inexcusable even though top-level memos established the environment for it.
In the past, the CIA taught that torture is not an effective way to get accurate info. The Army interrogation manual has always taught the same thing (still does!). I also know someone who personally witnessed a post-WWII German interrogation of a suspected East German spy; he expected to see the worst, but nothing of the kind happened and the guy cooperated without any threats. Afterward the interrogator told him the same thing: beating people up doesn’t get you the truth.
This has been well-established for a long time but apparently some in our government can’t be bothered with trifles like laws, treaties, or history; it’s SO much better to let a cartoon-like fictional TV character set your policy.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/apr/26/philippe-sands-tortu…I hope you’re right, I hope it goes off the air. Speaking of torture, I just found out that Air America is sponsoring a drive pressure Sean Hannity to follow through with his offer to be waterboarded and to raise money for charity based upon how many seconds Hannity can handle being waterboarded! Just check this out:

Ah, the "Glasgow Kiss." I remember it well.
I assume substances were involved.
I hope it isn’t true! I am no big fan of either Kiefer or his program. But for a full grown adult male to act in that fashion it’s just plain stupid. Growing up would be a really worthwhile project.
