The writers strike is on!

Well it looks like the Writers Guild of America has gone on strike. I wonder how long it will last and how it will affect the shows that we’ve grown to love?

Word is that daily shows like Soaps and talk shows will be hit the hardest. Letterman and and Jay Leno are going into reruns as of today. Other shows will likely follow suit.

Apparently shows like Gray’s Anatomy and The Office stockpiled scripts in anticipation of this strike so they should continue to have material to work with through till January, but other shows where the actors are also writers such as 30 Rock may not fair so well. 24 and Lost may not start when they are supposed to and have a shorter season when they do start.

The last Writers Guild Strike in 1988 lasted 22 weeks! If this one lasts even half that long you’d better get used to Reality TV because that might be the only thing on!

How do you feel about the Writers strike?

Kiefer arrested for DUI

Kiefer Sutherland is the latest celebrity to have been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was arrested early Tuesday morning in Hollywood.

Kiefer was pulled over at about 1 a.m. after he made an illegal U-turn. He failed the subsequent field sobriety test.

He was booked at the LAPD Hollywood station and was released at 5:42 a.m. on $25,000 bail.

A court date of Oct. 16 was set.

A rep for Sutherland said Tuesday: “It would be premature to comment at this time.”

Kiefer was convicted of a DUI in 2004 and because of that conviction he now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of four days in jail if he’s convicted for this latest arrest.

Sutherland is also currently serving a five-year probation term for the prior DUI. If a judge deems the actor violated those terms, “Sutherland could get up to 60 days in jail or worse, depending on varying circumstances,” according to DUI lawyer Lawrence Taylor.

Previous arrests have come to light:

In 1989, he was arrested for DUI and carrying a concealed and loaded weapon. In a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving, and the other charges were dropped.

In 1993, he was arrested for DUI, and again, pleaded out the same way. He was given the option of serving 12 days in jail or performing 211 hours of community service, and opted for the latter.
