Kiefer Sutherland received a nice celebrity X-Mas present from a Los Angeles judge - he gets to serve time for his DUI in a private jail! Paris Hilton wasn’t given the same treatment…what a shame. Sutherland is required to serve 48 days in the Glendale City Jail, spend 5 years on probation, and take alcohol education classes for 18 months in addition to therapy sessions for 6 months. Will this stop production on the right wing’s favorite show, 24? Oh wait, there’s already that Writer’s Strike thing going on…
