Kiefer Sutherland Turns Himself In

"I really can't say anything guys," was the only comment Kiefer Sutherland had for a throng of reporters waiting outside his West Village, NYC home this afternoon, before the actor took a black town car to the 1st Precinct in Soho to meet with police about his alleged assault on Proenza Schouler designer, Jack McCollough, at a Costume Institute Gala afterparty on Monday night.

Flanked by a bodyguard and two men (one of whom was identified by a source as legal counsel), Sutherland was the picture of sobriety in a blue blazer, black raincoat and conservative reading glasses.

The actor's rep has yet to release a statement on his meeting with police, but it is widely believed he is in the process of receiving a desk appearance ticket which will allow him to remain free while waiting arraignment at a future date. Sutherland is currently on probation after serving jail time on a DUI conviction, and could be headed back to the slammer if being convicted of an alcohol-related assault.

Look, we're really not too great when it comes to writing touching and sensitive obituaries, so we won't pretend to write one. This is the tragic story of a compulsive shopaholic who died as a result of her untreated desire to accumulate too much awesome stuff -- a desire we can definitely sympathize with. Joan Cunnane, 77, went missing over the Christmas holiday and was eventually found in her Manchester home, buried under an avalanche of unopened stuff.

Bad cops forced to wear Hello Kitty

I have to confess, I hate Hello Kitty.

I understand that it's cool to plaster that obnoxious little feline on all of your cutesy, girly accessories, but let's not forget that Hello Kitty, in spite of her fashion status, is also a children's cartoon.

I know this because I spent two hours driving to Sea World this weekend with that cartoon playing on my child's portable DVD player in the back seat. I'm fairly certain they hired the actress that played Quinn on MTV's Daria to do all the characters -- and, let me tell you, there is nothing more obnoxious than hearing that squeaky, valley-girl voice yakking non-stop for hours on end.

Subsequently, I think it's hysterical that, in Thailand, cops who get caught littering, parking where they're not supposed to or showing up late to meetings will be forced to wear Hello Kitty armbands as a mark of shame. It's the perfect punishment, because everything about that cat is shameful.

While the new scheme may make Thailand's police officers look slightly more fashion forward, something tells me that, once they've been forced to wear it, they won't screw up again.

British cops call fashion police

Anyone who has visited the UK undoubtedly noticed the iconic (but fairly ridiculous) head gear worn by British police. While the helmets may make the force instantly recognizable to tourists and locals alike, they unfortunately aren't very practical. They not only make officers look silly, the damn things keep falling off when cops are chasing suspects.

So the force figures it's about time for a new look -- and for that, they're turning to the London College of Fashion design. Students will be re-designing an entirely new uniform, which will probably mean an end to the bell-shaped caps currently associated with UK crime fighting.

After the design overhaul is complete, the new threads will be tested by 50 male and female officers, during which time the public is encouraged to give feedback.

I'll be interested to see what they come up with. It's nice to see the police working hard to be fashion-forward.
