UPDATE: Kiefer Sutherland Gets 48 Days in Jail
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, News
In 24 time, Jack Bauer had this legal matter resolved in a mere 10 minutes.
Wanting to quickly put his Sept. 25th incident behind him, actor Kiefer Sutherland pleaded no contest today to a misdemeanor drunk driving charge. Assuming the judge accepts the arrangements of the plea deal, Sutherland will serve a recommended total of 48 days in jail. At the formal sentencing on Dec. 21th, prosecutors will ask that Kiefer serve 30 days for the DUI charge and an additional 18 for violating probation. This was Sutherland’s fourth DUI-related offense; he was still on probation for a 2004 incident.
If all goes according to plan, Kiefer will be able to serve part of his stint in late December (while 24 is still in hiatus) and the remainder after the show’s finale.

Paris Hilton may have spoken out of turn when she talked about her desires to work with Mothers Against Drunk Driving during a Larry King interview on CNN last week.

Paris Hilton Arrested for DUI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip
Breaking news: Paris Hilton is now officially a triple-threat. She’s a singer, a soft-core porn star…and now a drunk driver.
Miss Hilton was arrested early Thursday morning in Hollywood after officers observed symptoms of intoxication. Although her blood alcohol level was not disclosed, it was high enough to warrant her being booked on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI. She has since been released.
Paris’ rep, Elliott Mintz, says she was returning home from a charity event where she only had one drink. Prior to that, she had been busy shooting a new music video. He believes the symptoms were “probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued.”
Note to Paris: Don’t you worry. I’m sure people are still too busy trying to believe that you’ve only had sex with two men in your whole life. This little incident will just go right over their heads.
