Jack Bauer is BACK, bitches!!

After undergoing surgery for a ruptured cyst near his kidney earlier in the month, Kiefer Sutherland has been given the okay by doctors to continue filming the eighth season of his hit TV show 24!!

Take it easy, Kiefer!! A ruptured cyst sounds painful!!

Production on 24 has come to a brief halt this morning as star Kiefer Sutherland is in need of immediate surgery for a ruptured cyst near his kidney.

Ouch!

The rupture happened earlier last week, but the crew was able to shoot some scenes not involving Kiefer to save time. Now, they just have to wait. Kiefer's publicist released a statement saying:

“While Kiefer Sutherland is frustrated to miss even one day of work, he and Fox decided together that it would be best to complete this minor elective procedure now as a precaution as opposed to six weeks from now when production wraps. He looks forward to returning to work next week.”

Get better, bb! The fictional terrorist world can't save itself, you know!

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

24 is making it's way to the movies!

With Kiefer Sutherland completely on-board as star, exec producer, and contributor to the script, the flick is ready to head into some key preliminary stages. The movie will find the nation's favorite counter terrorist unit officer heading to Europe to deal with the bad guys.

The only thing that could be standing in the way of the show making the move to a feature franchise is the TV show itself. If a ninth season of the show comes through, than the movie will have to take a back seat.

The buzz around the movie has begun. Start your clocks, 24 fans!

Are U excited for the show to become a movie?

We find ourselves still returning to our original question, even with the added details in this case:

Why was Kiefer Sutherland buying cows???

Regardless, the case brought up yesterday involving Kiefer and a con artist who took the 24 star for thousands is more detailed now. We've learned that the scum in question, Michael Wayne Carr, was using a complicated ponzi scheme to take money from several investors, including Kiefer.

Sources are explaining that Kiefer never had direct contact with Carr, only his investment bankers did. This transaction under investigation, however, was not the first time Kiefer did business with the man. Back in 2006, the con artist approached Keifer with the deal asking for $550,00.

Kiefer gave him the money and within a month, Carr returned his investment, plus a $130,000 profit. Because Kiefer did make a profit off of the deal, he signed on again, investing $869,000, but that is where he got stiffed.

According to court documentation, Carr admitted he used that money to pay off other debts and that he "doctored" the paperwork to dupe Kiefer's financial team into signing off on the deal.

Diabolical! Maybe it is time to go a little Jack Bauer on this guy, Kiefer!

Kiefer Sutherland is a victim of an alleged cattle scam that brought in over a million dollars.

Michael Wayne Carr took $869,000 from Sutherland and $177,000 from a New Mexican couple to buy steers from Mexico and sell them for profit in the US.

Although there's no record Carr ever bought the cattle and there's evidence that he sold steers that didn't belong to him. He has been charged with 12 felonies, including grand theft, forgery and embezzlement and faces a possible sentence of 18 years in the slammer.

WTF was Kiefer doing buying cattle?!

Here's a lesson Kiefer Sutherland won't soon forget. If you're set to appear on a nationwide talk show, don't make stupid bets right before.

Last night on the The Late Show, Sutherland appeared wearing some hideous green dress.

Turns out the 24 star lost a bet against a friend.

Says Sutherland:

"Over the weekend I was so sure New England was going to win that I told a guy who used to be my friend that if New England lost I would wear a dress on Letterman."

But as usual, David Letterman wasn't going to let him off easy.

The funny guy even offered to pay Sutherland $1,000 if he'd ride the subway in that gown.

Not bad Kiefer, but we think blue is more of your color.

Tik-tok goes the clock on Kiefer Sutherland’s 24 contract, but according to sources, that doesn't have to mean this season will be Jack Bauer's last.

During the recent press tour, Kiefer said he was “absolutely open” to a ninth season as long as "people were really interested in watching it."

With Kiefer on board, that just leaves the end result of the show to the ratings and FOX execs like Kevin Reilly, who seems to think that formal discussions about Jack's future will start in a few weeks.

So, if you want to continue watching Kiefer run around explosions and beat up terrorists, firmly plant your asses in front of the boob tube for all 24 episodes.

Think U will do that?
