Sutherland arrested in misdemeanor DUI case
Kiefer Sutherland had a bad 24 hours. The dashing star of the TV drama ” was arrested for investigation of misdemeanor drunken driving early Tuesday while still on probation from a similar 2004 conviction.
Sutherland, 40, failed a field sobriety test after he was stopped for making an illegal U-turn in West Los Angeles shortly after 1 a.m., police Officer Kevin Maiberger said.
Sutherland tested over the state's legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent, Officer Karen Smith said. Police declined to reveal the level.
He was booked for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol and spent about three hours in jail before he posted $25,000 bail and was released.
Sutherland was scheduled to appear in court Oct. 16, Maiberger said.
Sutherland's publicist, Evelyn Karamanos, said, “It would be premature to comment at this time.”
Silverman responds to Britney Spears jokes
Sarah Silverman still is responding to the negative reaction to her Britney Spears jokes at the MTV Video Music Awards.
“The joke that everyone was upset about - me calling the kids ‘adorable mistakes' - was the most innocuous joke,” the 36-year-old comedian tells Us Weekly magazine in the issue that comes out Friday. “It never occurred to me that would be deemed hurtful or over the line.”
Says Silverman: “I don't want to get into feuds with girls half my age. I'm in it to be funny and not for the drama. It's embarrassing.”
Silverman, known for her deadpan delivery and winsome depravity, drew criticism earlier this month when she followed Spears' much-panned VMA performance with an off-color monologue taking aim at the troubled singer and her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
“They are the most adorable mistakes you will ever see,” Silverman said of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
Cracked rib doesn't keep Clooney off red carpet
George Clooney didn't let a motorcycle accident keep him off the red carpet at the premiere of his new film, “Michael Clayton.”
Clooney arrived with his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, who was also injured in Friday's accident in New Jersey.
“I'm doing fine, yeah - good, good, good,” Clooney told Associated Press Television at Monday night's event. “I'm just, you know, dinged up a little bit.”
Clooney, 46, and Larson were injured when their motorcycle and a car collided on a narrow road in Weehawken, across the Hudson River from New York. Larson was a passenger on the vehicle. Both were wearing helmets.
