Donald Sutherland: "Jail Was Tough" for Kiefer | Today's News: Our Take | 4/7/2008
Well... yeah!In an interview with BBC Radio, actor Donald Sutherland (Dirty Sexy Money) talked about his son Kiefer's recent prison stay. "Jail was tough for him. He had 48 days inside, 23 hours a day in solitary. It was very, very cold," he told BBC's Newsbeat. "There were no windows. He had no community. I also made a deposit at the prison so he could call out. We were given 14 minutes for every call," the proud papa said of the 24 star's incarceration.Kiefer Sutherland was arrested on Sept. 25 for DUI and pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor drunk-driving charge. This was his fourth DUI arrest. He was sentenced to 30 days for the DUI charge and 18 days for violating his probation stemming from an earlier DUI charge.The elder Sutherland believes his son has learned his lesson, and remains optimistic about his hit TV series: "[Now] that he's out, he said that the next two seasons of 24 will be the best two years of television in the United States." Fox will air a two-hour TV-movie... read more
50ish (and Up) and Fabulous! | Body Talk: Inside Hollywood's Obsession With Beauty | 1/2/2008
In Part 4 of TVGuide.com's new Body Talk series, we celebrate stars who are proving that you don't have to be young to be beautiful. The pressure to be perfect in Hollywood isn't too discriminating — most celebs get it most of the time. But as people start to get older, they tend to become a bit more wrinkly, their skin a bit droopier... and they generally don't look like they did at 30. Well, that may happen in real life — but what about on television and in the movies?Some of our favorite TV stars are showing just how gorgeous aging gracefully can be. (Whether that's with some assistance or as a result of healthy living and good genes, we're not speculating.) And one of the nicest things about them? They're playing characters who are... actually their age. Donald Sutherland, 72, and Jill Clayburgh, 63, for example, are standouts as Tripp and Letitia, the parents of the dysfunctional yet successful Darling clan on one of this season's best guilty pleasures, Dirty Sexy... read more
New Blood at the Globes | Roush Dispatch | 12/13/2007
If the barometer of an interesting TV awards show is the number of fresh faces invited to the party, then the Golden Globe nominations (announced Thursday morning) passes the test. Not with a perfect score, mind you. Any institution that so completely ignores NBC's wonderful Friday Night Lights deserves some spirited jeering.And the Globes' addiction to sexy sizzle and hype can lead to some puzzling choices: Big Love, fun as it is, over The Sopranos' final season? Bill Paxton over James Gandolfini? (And if the Globes is going to shower love on Big Love, how could the women who play Bill's wives go unheralded, especially Ginnifer Goodwin?) Californication over Weeds?But let's look at the bright side. The Hollywood Foreign Press clearly spent some time checking out the TV landscape during last summer's remarkable season of cable breakthroughs. My own pick for No. 1 show of the year, AMC's Mad Men, is nominated for best drama, along with its dashing leading man, Jon Hamm. FX's... read more
Episode Recap: “The Nutcracker” | Dirty Sexy Money | 12/6/2007
I’m not sure how many more eps of Dirty Sexy Money are in the can, but I am worried we are going to get stuck in the middle of a serious cliff hangar. I suspected when Tripp got on the phone and told the person on the line to find out what Simon wanted with the Darling’s financials, that it was Karen. But I wasn’t really sure until the last scene. So, if she’s getting busy with Simon for her Dad, then what are her reasons? Is it just to get Nick? Walking into the Nutcracker crying certainly got his attention. Though I think Tripp’s reasons are far more business related. And there’s some question as to whether Tripp isn’t using Nick to make it seem though he’s protecting Karen from Simon. And speaking of which, Simon inviting Karen over to meet his ex was a little mean; he could have warned her at least. Because if he is just using her, then why did he want to get approval from his ex, unless…. Could the Princess be in cahoots with him... read more
Episode Recap: “The Watch” | Dirty Sexy Money | 11/29/2007
It’s all happening.Oh, how I hate to gloat, but way back in the second episode of Dirty Sexy Money, “The Lions”, I offered the following: Did we see a tiny glimmer of kindness from the bitter Brian when he sent the boy to bed? Perhaps he and Nick are half-brothers? Or could it be that Tish and Dutch had two children, Brian and Nick, the other set of twins? Hmmm. Tooting one’s horn is so unbecoming, but “TOOT, TOOT”! Many of you had the same idea as well, so I’m sure I wasn’t the first to think it, I just got to point it out. Good to know we’re all on the same track. I’m still not 100% certain that Tish isn’t somehow Nick’s mom as well. The boys are the same age. And Nick’s mother was quick to dismiss him. Once again, I say, Hmmm…So we have confirmation that Brian and Nick are brothers; if we didn’t know before the show started, we should have been able to tell as they strode side by side into the courtroom... read more
