Is Kiefer Sutherland starting to think that he’s actually Jack Bauer?

May 8, 2009 /

The “24” star is in trouble with the law again after a run-in at a gala.

The 24 star has been accused of head-butting a famous fashion designer at a gala in New York City.

According to reports, Sutherland allegedly delivered the forehead-to-forehead blow (seriously, a headbutt?) to fashion designer Jack McCollough on Monday night. Sutherland’s action was said to be in response to McCollough bumping into actress Brooke Shields and not apologizing for the incident.

What really happened that night is still unclear. Reps for Shields have said nothing happened to the actress, and McCollough’s reps allege Sutherland was drunk. Sutherland’s camp says the fashion designer rudely bumped into Shields.

Maybe Jack Bauer can go around headbutting people when the safety of the United States is on the line, but it’s uncalled for at a gala. (Unless, of course, the fashion designer he headbutted had information crucial to the safety of the United States.)

A few updates from Ausiello’s cheat sheet

May 8, 2009 /

Michael Ausiello is keeping track of all the cancellation and renewal news. Here are a few updates:

Castle: Could go either way. Now a safe bet.
The Unit: A long shot. Now hearing it’s a goner. Back to being a long shot.
Dollhouse: Could go either way. Now hearing it’s a long shot.
Fringe: Sure thing. Now officially renewed.
Chuck: Could go either way. Now a safe bet. (Yay!)
Life: A long shot. Now hearing it’s a goner. Now officially canceled.
Medium: Safe bet. Reportedly renewed for 13-16 episodes.
Southland: Sure thing. Officially renewed for 13 episodes.

I gave up “Life” last season when it failed to stand out, and I gave up on “Chuck” this season as it got too repetitive and silly. I know that there are a lot of “Chuck” fans out there that will be happy to see that it will likely return in the fall. “Medium” has been good this season and deserves renewal, as does “The Unit,” though it’s worrisome to hear that it’s a long shot.

Hell’s Kitchen: throwaway episode?

May 8, 2009 /

By all accounts I thought last night was going to be the “Hell’s Kitchen” season finale, but it turned out to be mostly a fluff episode, setting up the meat and potatoes of the big showdown between Danny and Paula next Thursday. The show began with a 10-minute recap of the season, followed by the two finalists enjoying way too much champagne together and then feeling like crap when they had to wake up early the next morning.

They met with a designer for their restaurants, and had to pick a name…Paula picked something like “Sunshine” though I don’t quite remember exactly what…and Danny picked “The Velvet Hammer,” saying that was his high school nickname, because he “was smooth but could lay the hammer to the ladies.” Did he really just say that? Did I really just write that? Yep. Freaking hilarious.

Then they traveled on a private jet with Gordon Ramsay to the Borgata in Atlantic City, where one of them would run Ramsay’s new restaurant. Meanwhile, Paula and Danny each had two “advisors” left to keep an eye on the design progress, and those were family members, or Paula’s stripper sister and mom, and Danny’s dad and girlfriend. They were able to communicate with each other via webcam to make sure everything was running smooth.

Battlestar Galactica: The Last of the Best

May 7, 2009 /

I’m probably the last person who should be offering up a post about “Battlestar Galactica,” since I’m probably also the last person who still hasn’t watched “Battlestar Galactica.” (If it helps any, I am extremely excited about the prospect of diving into the complete-series set that’s being released in July.) When I received a copy of the catalog for the upcoming BSG auction, however, I couldn’t resist at least making a brief mention of it.

They’ve done auctions before, as the show’s fans undoubtedly already know, but beginning on May 8th and continuing through May 10th, they’ll be holding the final BSG auction, hence the subtitle, “The Last of the Best.” It’s being held both live and online, so you can head over to the Auction Network website and either watch quietly or, if you’re feeling bold, actually dare to bid on something.

Though it won’t do the contents of this big-ass catalog justice – it’s 375 pages and printed on thick stock – you can see what’s up for grabs at BattlestarProps.com. There’s some pretty cool stuff to be had. Whether you can afford it, however, is quite another story.

Fallen Angel

May 7, 2009 /

Based on the Roth Trilogy of novels by Andrew Taylor, “Fallen Angel” stars Emilia Fox – late of “The Pianist” – as one of the most evil characters ever seen on British television. This may sound like hyperbole, but given that the ironically-named Angel Wharton (Fox) is seen to assist a pedophile in obtaining his latest victims in the first of this miniseries’ three episodes, be assured that it isn’t as far off a claim as it may sound. “Fallen Angel” opts for an intriguing method of storytelling, offering up Angel’s horrific activities in the present before taking one step back, then another, to show how she came to be the person that committed the atrocities in Episode 1. Though it’s a fascinating character study, it must be said that the miniseries has one fatal flaw that must, in the name of fair warning, be acknowledged: its first episode is its best episode. That’s not to say that the other two episodes aren’t strong in their own right, given that the reveal the psychological motives behind Angel’s actions, but…well, when you already know how the story’s going to end, it’s hard to stay excited when you’re watching the beginning.
