Across the pond Brooke Shields is causing a commotion at the hoity-toity Tate Modern. The nude photograph of the actress at age 10 was to be part of a new salacious exhibit, which of course was met by the sighs of both children's advocates and religious groups, according to the Daily News. One outraged critic told them, "Putting a sign on the door like that means every pedophile in the land will head straight to that room." The Man agreed, and it's being reported that officers from the obscene publications unit of the Metropolitan police have taken it down. The photograph hung in the Guggenheim just two years ago, and features a "nude ten-year-old Brooke Shields, heavily made-up, standing in a bath." It actually is rather disturbing.

Today Kiefer Sutherland's attorney declared his client was not the instigator in the headbutting incident last week. He was charged last Thursday with third-degree assault after an early morning scuffle at SubMercer, where he "attacked" a designer who may or may not have shoved Brooke Shields. (He said/she said can get confusing after 2 a.m.!) Reportedly designer, Jack McCollough claims Sutherland broke his nose, though the initial police report only noted a small gash (his reps later said it was more serious). The 24 stars attorney said, "We are troubled by the untruthful and self-serving information circulating regarding Kiefer Sutherland and events of last Monday evening. Out of respect for this law enforcement process, Kiefer Sutherland will not be making any comment.''

The saga of Kiefer Sutherland's post-Costume Institute Party of the Year partying continues! On Thursday, the star was issued a desk appearance ticket for allegedly headbutting fashion designer Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler on Monday. Sutherland, according to various reports, may have been upset that McCollough knocked into Brooke Shields at the bar Submercer (Shields was also wearing 6" heels). After initially saying that McCollough was the victim of a "vicious assault," his spokesman now adds that the designer "suffered a broken nose in three places as a result of the assault. He received medical treatment last night after consulting with physicians." It's unclear whether he will sue Sutherland, who will be court on June 21, but a source says McCollough is "also pissed off and annoyed that this all happened. He has a collection to do, and has no time to deal with this." Dude, you know who else has no time to deal with this? Jack Bauer.

Jack Bauer's day at the police station is over, and today's coverage is all about the fashion! The NY Post reports that Kiefer Sutherland walked into the precinct yesterday with "three-quarters-length black raincoat, blue jeans and cowboy boots," apparently taking his glasses off and leaving his celeb status in his DIVA-plated town car outside. He was in the station for around two hours, during which time he updated his mug shot, got fingerprinted, and allegedly didn't "crack jokes, laugh or sign autographs." He left with his desk-appearance ticket for a misdemeanor of third-degree assault and a court date of June 21st. Meanwhile, this whole thing may land on the shoes of Brooke Shields. TMZ reports that the actress herself "blames the fall on her 6" high heels and the fact that the room was dark and crowded and it was really really late." She also admits that Jack McCollough made contact with her—and of course anyone with their own action figure is going to have a knee-jerk reaction to save the damsel in distress.

Following a headbutt attack Kiefer Sutherland unleashed on designer Jack McCollough earlier this week at SoHo's Submercer, it seems the actor will be paying his dues like a regular 'ol civilian. TMZ reports that he'll be charged with misdemeanor assault, an attack the designer says was unprovoked though allegedly happened after he pushed Brooke Shields (possibly just trying to sidle by her at the crowded bar). The altercation is said to have left McCollough with a tiny gash on his nose, though his reps are making it sound more serious by saying: "He was the victim of a vicious, violent, unprovoked assault." Later today Kiefer, currently on probation for a DUI, will show up at the First Precinct station house downtown and get a desk appearance ticket and his arraignment date set.

Something happened after the Met's Costume Institute Ball on Monday night. According to the Daily News an incident took place at a SoHo nightspot following the event, and so far the main players have been identified as Kiefer Sutherland, Brooke Shields and designer Jack McCollough. The paper reports that witnesses saw Sutherland get all Jack Bauer on McCollough after he bumped into Shields as she and the actor talked at the bar around 2 a.m. Allegedly Sutherland headbutted the designer and demanded he apologize to the lady. TMZ unsurprisingly reports that Sutherland may have been drunk at the time... and we all know what he's capable of when that happens. (Take 10 seconds to watch him attack a Christmas tree.) The site also notes that a law enforcement source has confirmed that "Brooke was definitely involved" and they are currently reaching out to Sutherland to get his story.

Does the story of women from Manhattan trying to keep up with their competition in the workplace while dealing with men issues sound familiar? Candace Bushnell's latest series (based on her book) "Lipstick Jungle" is filling that "Sex and the City" void that...probably none of us have felt.

Incase you woke up this morning thinking you'd like to buy something totally impractical with your rent money, then have we got good news for you. Designer Bob Mackie joins up with Christie's to auction off his "scene-stealing" fashions. They've been draped over stars like Sharon Stone, Carol Burnett, Cher, Brooke Shields, Sir Elton John and Diana Ross, and his costumes have been in some of the most popular Broadway shows. Now you can own a piece of it all, and of course if you're free at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon, we're sure you can afford it as well. So loosen up the purse strings, make funny hand gestures and bid away on a dress that Cher once sweat in as Christie's and Julien's present . . .Costume & Couture [from the Private Archives of Bob Mackie].

Some single guy has purchased a $20,000 per month billboard at the Midtown Tunnel to help find a wife. Basically, it directs people to go to his website, see-tom (it'll launch at noon)... which makes Gothamist think this is a reverse Jason Mulgrew! The Daily News story on Tom Barrella says that it's not a publicity stunt for the former record executive/ former computer businessman/ current high school teacher and that he really wants to find someone. Yeah, and after he finds someone, THEN he'll write the book. Gothamist can't really trust anyone who would buy a billboard to find a wife... now, using craiglist or eBay is another story. Plus, isn't he worried that people will just ignore his billboard, because they will think it's about Tom Cruise? And what women are really looking at the Midtown Tunnel's billboards - they are busy putting on their makeup. He should have shelled out for a quality location, like at least the Flatiron Building. Updated: And our friends across the Pond at Londonist remind us that some guy set up a stall to find a lady this June! God, is the new black for men to be freaking out about getting married? Why can't things be back to normal, with just women being worried they won't find someone.
