It's a good thing Kiefer Sutherland made that deal with Jack McCollough when he did.
Not only was the actor risking jail time for his headbutting incident, but he almost lost his role in Joel Schumacher's new film, Twelve, due to all of the negative publicity.
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.
Kiefer Sutherland, star of Fox's 24, turned himself into police at New York City’s First Precinct around 4pm yesterday.
He was arrested on the third-degree assault charge, photographed and fingerprinted, and walked out of the precinct at about 6pm accompanied by his Los Angeles lawyer, Blair Berk.
All this stems from an incident over the weekend where Kiefer allegedly headbutted fashion designer Jack McCullough without cause.
If convicted, Kiefer Sutherland was only looking at a minor assault charge for his alleged headbutting incident in New York this weekend…
But that’s in New York.
The po-po in Los Angeles may have different plans for him.
We forgot, Kiefer is an ex-con who’s currently serving a five-year probation term in Los Angeles for his second DUI conviction.
And headbutting violates the terms of his parole, which decrees the actor must “obey all laws.”
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.
That’s a whole lot of pretty right there.
Kiefer Sutherland and Reese Witherspoon posed together at yesterday’s European premier of their film Monsters vs. Aliens in Berlin, Germany.
The film, which features the vocal stylings of Reese, Kiefer, Seth Rogan, Paul Rudd and Hugh Laurie, is Dreamworks’ first 3-D feature and the first film ever to be created specifically in 3-D rather than transferred to 3-D in post-production.
Hopefully that means no weird blurry red and blue outlines.

Jack Bauer is doing the “I Want to Look Skinny on the Red Carpet” pose!
Actresses and models are told to cross their legs as they walk down the red carpet because it’s supposed to make you look thinner. (Case in point: Megan Fox and Paris Hilton demonstrating proper red carpet form.)
Was Kiefer feeling a little bloated at the SAG Awards last night?

Damn!
Last night’s Fox Winter All-Star Party, held at My House (we can’t get over how much we hate that name), was Hot Sauce Central.
David Silver, Jack Bauer and Pacey were all makin’ booty spin ‘round.
Brian Austin Green, who arrived without his fiancé Megan Fox, was there to pimp The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Kiefer Sutherland, of course, was repping 24 and Joshua Jackson was celebrating his new show Fringe, which has been doing very well.
We could have happily drowned in that sea of man meat.
Donald Sutherland came out to ummm...support his son Kiefer as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday.
What can we say but...aaawkward!
If you’re in the Los Angeles area on Tuesday, head down to Hollywood and you’ll be able to see Kiefer Sutherland being honored with the 2,377th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The actor’s father Donald Sutherland (RIP Dirty Sexy Money…sob) and Kiefer’s Lost Boys director Joel Schumacher will be on hand to pay tribute to the 24 star at the unveiling ceremony outside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard and Orange.
