- Big Drop for CBS. CBS posted a $55 million lost yesterday -- that's up against last year's profit of $244 million. The corporation credits a tremendous slide in ad revenue.

"24" star Kiefer Sutherland has been charged with assault since he turned himself in to police; it was revealed Tuesday morning that he allegedly headbutted a man (rumored to be Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCullough) in a scuffle after the Costume Institute gala.

Apparently the altercation was over Brooke Shields. Huh? [Reuters via Washington Post]
