Bloomberg: Headbutting "Just Doesn't Make a Lot of Sense"

Premium Rush's Headbutt-gate, an incident that is bringing the ongoing tensions between New Yorkers and street-clogging film sets to a boiling point, has grown big enough to warrant a statement from Mayor Bloomberg. And naturally, he is siding with the production assistant, and not Breffny Flynn, American Hero. With no mention of the concerns of the inconvenienced Upper West Side residents, Bloomberg told the Post, "Head-butting somebody just doesn't make a lot of sense. The real question is, do we want to have jobs for people so they can feed their family?" Not if those families are full of power-tripping peons who think they can tell us what side of the street to walk on! more ›

Because—big surprise—the crew has been pretty disrespectful towards locals! Margaret Boyd, 87, says she was on her way home and was told by the crew that she couldn't sit at her bus stop, and was forced to stand. "I was a little tired and aggravated," she told the Daily News. "But what are you going to do? That's life." But others aren't so zen. more ›

Victim of Kiefer Headbutting Has Broken Nose

Victim of Kiefer Headbutting Has Broken Nose

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. more ›
