Remember how you felt the first time you heard your mom say "bling"? How you knew that you would forever associate that word with everything uncool in the world and never be able to hear it without flinching? Young Hollywood's favorite trend, drunk driving arrests, is about to meet the same fate. Once Paris Hilton hears that "that old guy from 24" was picked up for DUI she'll surely hire a full-time driver to escort her to and from clubs. "That guy, like, remembers the '80s. That's so uncool." TMZ reports:
TMZ has learned that "24" star Kiefer Sutherland was busted on suspicion of DUI in West Hollywood last night, after allegedly blowing more than twice the legal limit of .08. This is the actor's second DUI in the past five years — he was arrested in 2004. By California law, if he's convicted, he must serve a mandatory minimum of five days in jail.Police sources tell TMZ 40-year-old Sutherland was pulled over around 1:35 AM PST on the corner of La Cienega and Beverly. Sutherland was at the FOX Fall Eco-Casino party at Area nightclub earlier that evening.
Sutherland, who was stopped after making an illegal U-turn, was arrested for misdemeanor DUI and transported to the Hollywood Police station. He was booked at 4:09 AM and released at 5:42 AM on $25,000 bail.
We're told Sutherland was "cooperative and mellow" while he was in custody.
Well, obviously this isn't Kiefer's fault. We're sure that he was working undercover as the barfly in the favorite hangout of the Los Angeles chapter of an international terrorist organization and had to get critical information to CTU just as he lost the charge on his cell phone. He had no choice but to commandeer the nearest vehicle and speed to his destination. That, or after a few Jameson shots he heard that Target had just erected their Christmas displays and wanted to make sure those fucking trees paid for what their brethren did to Kim on Xmas 1987.

I wonder how many regular people can afford 50 G's a year for their car insurance after a couple DUIs? With the money he has his liability limits have to be astronomical.
