Kiefer Sutherland was arrested Monday morning following an alleged ride-share altercation with a driver, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

NBC4 reported the news that officers responded to a radio call involving Sutherland and a ride-share driver in the Hollywood area and that the 59-year-old actor is being accused of assaulting the driver after entering the vehicle. According to the LAPD, he was arrested on suspicion of felony criminal threats, and records indicated he was released from custody on $50,000 bond with an initial court date scheduled for Feb. 2.

A representative for Sutherland did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sutherland was previously charged with drunk driving in 2007, his fourth DUI since 1989, and later pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 48 days in jail.

In 2009, he once again ran into legal issues for allegedly head-butting fashion designer Jack McCollough in New York. Sutherland and McCollough issued a joint statement after the incident. “I am sorry about what happened that night and sincerely regret that Mr. McCollough was injured,” Sutherland wrote in the statement.

The actor and musician is widely known for his portrayal of Jack Bauer in 24, winning a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe award for his starring role in the Fox series. He would later play POTUS on ABC’s Designated Survivor and make his debut as a country singer-songwriter in 2016.

The official trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s long-in-the-works Michael Jackson biopic has arrived ahead of the film’s release on April 24.

The clip offers the most comprehensive look so far at Michael, which will feature Jaafar Jackson — the late star’s nephew — in the title role. While the previously-released Michael teaser appeared to offer a surprisingly upbeat and rosy view of Jackson’s life and career, this new trailer hints at some of turmoil underneath, while still stressing the King of Pop’s love of music and myriad achievements.

Bruce Willis Is Unaware He Has Dementia, His Wife Reveals

Bruce Willis Is Unaware He Has Dementia, His Wife Reveals

Bruce Willis “doesn’t know” he has frontotemporal dementia, his wife, Emma Heming Willis, revealed in a new interview released Wednesday (Jan. 28). “Bruce never, never tapped in, Heming Willis, 47, said on the Conversations With Cam podcast. “He never connected the dots that he had this disease, and I’m really happy about that. I’m really happy that he doesn’t know about it.”

Willis, 70, retired from acting in 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder. His family later disclosed that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia, or FTD. Heming Willis explained that her husband experiences a neurological phenomenon called anosognosia, in which the brain cannot recognize its own decline. “People think this might be denial, like they don’t want to go to the doctor because they’re like, ‘I’m fine, I’m fine,'” she told host Cameron Oaks Rogers. “Actually, it’s this anosognosia that comes into play. It’s not denial. It’s just that their brain is changing. This is a part of the disease.”

Courtney Love Sets the Record Straight

Courtney Love knows what you think about her. She’s heard the names you’ve called her as well as the praise you’ve heaped upon her, the spurious accusations and the salacious rumors, the questions about her sanity and well-being. She’s even watched some of the TikTok videos people have made that revolve around her, though she drew the line at one where she was allegedly getting sodomized by Satan. These kinds of things still affect her, Love admits. But she doesn’t have time for that negative shit now. Love has a batch of songs she’s writing, studio time she’s booked, a producer — Butch Walker — who’s there to give her the space and time to get back what Love calls her “sea legs.”

Still, the singer knows the stories and the histories that will follow her to her dying day, the ones that precede her when she walks into a room and linger like an expensive perfume or cigarette smoke when she exits it. Ms. Love would like to set the record straight. More than a few records, to be honest. And filmmakers Edward Lovelace and James Hall have turned on their cameras and handed her a mic so she can do just that.
