Kiefer Sutherland has designed himself a pretty sweet deal.

The charges related to the headbutting incident at the Costume Insitute Gala at the Met earlier this month between Sutherland and Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough are likely to be dropped.

The actor and designer have reached a deal and McCollough will no longer serve as a witness in the case.

Drama!

At the Met’s Costume Institute Gala afterparty this weekend, things got out of control.

There are conflicting reports on how or why it happened, but here’s how the story ended: Kiefer Sutherland flew into Jack Bauer-mode and head butted Jack McCollough, the co-founder of fashion line Proenza Schouler.

Kate Hudson, Stella McCartney, Liv Tyler and Kate Bosworth attended last night’s “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan.

It’s a pretty pretty princess posse.

Major kudos to Hudson and Tyler (who starred together in Dr. T and the Women back in 2000 and have been friends ever since) for bringing the high glam.

While we appreciate the lace numbers on Bosworth and McCartney, the fully-festooned-in-sequins look wins hands down.

All we can say is: Wow!

Kate Hudson was an absolute vision as she left the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan last night on her way to the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala.

Flawless.

In one of their first official outings as husband and wife, Gisele and Tom Brady arrived hand-in-hand to last night’s Costume Institute Gala celebrating the opening of “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion,” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

We love how Tom rests his hand on the swell of Gisele’s little pooper.

It’s sexy but comfortable.

Just like they are.

Seriously, their combined beauty is practically blinding. Don't look directly at them for too long; they might burn your retina.

Last night, Madonna, Rihanna and Leighton Meester provided unintentional comic relief at the Costume Institute Gala at the New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrating the opening of its “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” exhibit.

Did Leighton, whose natural blonde hair we find far less attractive than he dyed brunette Blair Waldorf locks, have a case of hysterical blindness when she was getting ready?

With matching thigh-high slits and cleavage baring bodices, both Cindy Crawford and Blake Lively looked beautiful in their azure blue gowns at last night’s Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. But the question is: Who wore it best?

Blake, in her one-armed, ingénue’s best?

Or Cindy, who demonstrated why showgirls love Versace (pronounced: Ver-say-se)?

Based on confidence alone, we’re giving it to Cindy.

But add to the equation that Cindy is 43 and Blake is 21 and Crawford wins hands down.

Twice the age, three times the sexy.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
