Best In Seattle: The Alexis Hotel
Posted on Jul 24, 2009 @ 03:50PM - Add a comment
Kiefer Sutherland should have stayed in Seattle. Weeks before heading off to New York City and, um, head-butting a fashion designer, the 24 star chilled out at the Alexis Hotel in Seattle and could not have been cooler if he was sporting a plaid shirt. Even when he found that the restaurant was fully booked for a function, the notorious bad-boy was laid back. Call it the Seattle chilled-out vibe, or perhaps the even more Zen atmosphere at the Alexis.

The historic registry-listed hotel is holding its own as a low-key celebrity magnet for stars who visit the northwest hub. The intimate 121-room hotel has reason for a new look with a newly completed $10 million overhaul. The results are significant: while not as modern as a newly built Hotel 1000 just across the street, what it happily lacks in sleek, it makes up for in boutique charm, with spacious rooms displaying unique homey touches and charismatic windows. The lack of pool and the small exercise room might turn off some. I swapped the treadmill for a brisk walk through nearby Pike Place market and circled back to Pioneer Square which killed two birds with one stone: tourism and weight loss all in one! (Although I did set that last part a step back with a hearty breakfast at the quirky but refined Library Bistro and scotch later in the day at the Bookstore Bar (poet Maya Angelou is a frequent visitor to this hotel and bar with its 60 different scotches).
Kiefer Sutherland Headbutt Incident Dismissed
Posted on Jul 21, 2009 @ 06:52PM - Add a comment
Actor Kiefer Sutherland won't get a slap on the wrist for slamming his head into someone's face.
The New York City District Attorney has dumped potential criminal charges against the actor, stemming from an incident in May with Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough.
The case doesn't remotely qualify as criminal conduct, reports say. And on the same note--Los Angeles city attorney's are said to feel the same way (as the infraction could've affected his probation stemming from a prior DUI conviction, despite happening across the country).
Sutherland attended an afterparty for Anna Wintour's annual Met Gala in May, where he allegedly saw McCollough bump into actress Brooke Shields, causing her to fall. Sutherland is said to have confronted the designer, then head-butted him.
Kiefer Sutherland Buries Headbutt Hatchet

Given his character Jack Bauer's penchant for getting out of sticky situations, it's no surprise that Kiefer Sutherland may be in the clear.
The actor has apparently settled the curious case of head-butting Jack McCollough, one half of the design team Proenza Schouler in early May.
Reports say the actor has made good with the designer after allegedly attacking him at a party following the Met Gala in New York City.
If McCollough doesn't pursue litigation, this could mean Sutherland will be cleared of the assault charge currently outstanding in NYC. The actor is currently serving probation stemming from a 2007 DUI.
Appearing Thursday evening on Jimmy Fallon's late night talk show, Sutherland said the incident was one "I really regret having happened."

Kiefer Sutherland's alleged headbutting incident last week has drawn the attention from the Los Angeles City Attorney, and they have reached out to the NYPD, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.
That does not, however, necessarily spell bad news for Kiefer, who is on probation in California. A source close to the case told RadarOnline.com, "The City Attorney won't do anything until all the facts are in from the NYPD. The City Attorney will wait until the NYPD concludes their investigation, and if Kiefer is actually charged with a crime. "Reports are still being taken, witnesses still being interviewed. Kiefer was only issued a desk ticket from the NYPD. That is it."
Kiefer got some help today from Brooke Shields when she issued a statement stating that the alleged victim of Kiefer's headbutt, Jack McCollough did indeed bump into her and Kiefer became concerned. She says that Kiefer has always been a perfect gentleman around her.

EXCLUSIVE: New Details Surrounding Kiefer Sutherland's Arrest
Posted on May 07, 2009 @ 04:29PM - Add a comment
Kiefer Sutherland left his Manhattan apartment late Thursday afternoon to turn himself into police. After arriving at the first precinct in New York City, the actor was then arrested, fingerprinted, photographed, and then charged with a misdemeanor before being released after two hours. Now, RadarOnline.com has new details regarding his time at the police station.
Dressed in blue jeans, a blue Oxford button-down shirt, and an overcoat, the actor arrived with his lawyer. "While the third-degree misdemeanor assault charge is minor, Kiefer still had to go through a booking process inside the precinct house. That's why he was in there for two hours. He was questioned first and then the booking took place," a NYPD source told RadarOnline.com. "While one celebrity website reported that Kiefer was placed in handcuffs inside the precinct, he was not! He was, however, frisked – which is a routine check for weapons, and as stated earlier, he was fingerprinted and had a mugshot taken."
"The fingerprints are sent into the computer system, up to Albany, to make sure there's no match on any outstanding warrants. Obviously, they didn't expect there to be any matches but the NYPD has to do this and treat him as they would any other person."
On Monday evening, Sutherland allegedly headbutted fashion designer Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler at an after party at Submercer. Though many believe Sutherland will only face minor assault charges for the scuffle, Los Angeles authorities may take a tougher stance since he is currently serving a five-year probation term for his second DUI conviction.
The source added, “a date’s been set for his next appearance in June on the matter.”
