Kiefer Breaks Headbutting Silence

It was the skull-collision heard 'round the world: the unstoppable noggin of a huge television action star crunching into the immovable nose of a top New York fashion designer. Since then, tongues have not stopped wagging about what's being referred to at Cannes as "l'affair headbutt" (pronounced ed-BOOT). But until now, the raging bull himself -- the man who'd allow nothing, not even a pushy fashionista, to get between Brooke Shields and her Coke & 7s -- has remained coolly silent.

Jimmy Fallon, of all people, was the one to finally get Kiefer Sutherland to publicly address the topic on Thursday's Late Night. It was a ballsy maneuver that indicated the neophyte talk show host is steadily gaining confidence behind that desk, willing to go so far as to risk having his volatile and unpredictable guest lunge across it and bite out his tongue in the pursuit of riveting television. Luckily, nothing of the sort happened. The 24 star said simply, "It's something I really regret having happened, and until it's resolved I can't talk about it." [HuffPo]
