Wow, if I were the producers of 24 I’d be really pissed off by Dennis Haysbert’s comments about the show. I wonder if they fired him?

After escaping an apparent attempt to off Jack and Dad, they return to capture Graem in his house. It also becomes increasingly apparent that Jack and Graem’s Wife had a […]

Since this source is a tabloid, I’m not sure if this story is true but it was so funny I had to post it. Will you buy a Jack Bauer doll? I know I want one! I totally understand Kiefer’s desire to torture his doll. It’s hilarious!
Kiefer Sutherland only has himself to blame for the […]
