Welcome To Elizabeth's Place!: Kiefer Sutherland buys sexy shoes for his girlfriend in last-minute London shopping spree

Kiefer Sutherland's Return To Television Gets Cautious Praise

Kiefer Sutherland can't have felt anything but pressure as his first major TV role since 10 phenomenal years spent on '24' aired for the first time last night (26 January 2012).
Fans and critics were certainly eager to see how the Canadian actor was going to follow up what has come to be known as one of the iconic TV characters of the 21st century in secret agent Jack Bauer.
'Touch,' which sees Sutherland playing a single father of a mute son who sees things other cannot, aired last night for the first time - and the answer to whether he's managed to follow up what may be career defining role successfully?
A cautious yes, according to the critics.
Newsday was effusive in its praise, saying the program was "A bit melodramatic, a bit manipulative, Touch is still one of the best pilots of the 2011-12 season to date," and others were similar praiseworthy though understandably a little more cautious given it was the pilot episode.
"It's Mr. Sutherland's portrayal of the father--unyielding in his effort to break through to his mute child and grasp what he's trying to say with his numbers--that is the heart of this story, the power likely to sustain this promising enterprise," said the Wall Street Journal, whilst
TV Guide said "[Touch is] emotionally compelling but wildly fantastical and undeniably manipulative."Not all were enthused though, The New York Times commented "The 11-year-old boy at the center of the story has never spoken and is also the show's narrator.
It's a perfectly acceptable device, if not a particularly interesting one in this case," whilst the Los Angeles Times weren't fans at all, stating "Ironically, given a show that so clearly wants to touch its audience--from that weighty one-word title on down--we have met, apart from Martin, hardly a single character who incorporates more than the hint of an actual person.

Kiefer Sutherland buys sexy shoes for his girlfriend in last-minute London shopping spree

Someone should have warned Kiefer Sutherland that browsing round a lingerie shop in a beige mac is just asking for trouble.
But thankfully the 24 star wasn't causing more controversy on his UK trip but just innocently shopping for a gift for his girlfriend.
The actor, who has been stranded in London because of the flight ban due to the Iceland volcano, was seen popping into Miss Lala's Boudoir in Covent Garden this morning.
The 43-year-old actor spent some time browsing round the stylish little boutique before deciding on a pair of shoes for his girlfriend.
He splashed out £110 on a pair of 'oil'-coloured Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa three-strap heeled shoes for style director Siobhan Bonnouvrier, who he has been dating for two years.
Staff in the shop said he chatted away to them as he made his purchase and manager Sophie Metchick said he was very 'charming'.
She added: 'He's been staying in the hotel next door and we've seen him around this week.
'I believe he's on his way home today so he popped in to buy a gift for his girlfriend before he left. He must have seen the shoes in our window.
'He was really sweet, lovely and very charming.'
Kiefer has been in the UK to promote his new film Twelve.
He was due to fly out this afternoon on a private jet from Biggin Hill airport after getting stuck here because of the flight restrictions imposed due to the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcano.

Ro said...: I may get flak for this comment, but I don't think the shoes are the least bit sexy. Shoes like this may not bother Siobhan now, but down the road when she's older, she's liable to have real problems with her back, feet, or internal organs. Ask any foot doctor, or orthopedic surgeon. Sorry, but I think the shoes are ugly, and I don't blame that on Keifer's taste. Siobhan obviously likes shoes like this. All I can say is, I think wearing them will come back to haunt her.; April 26, 2010 at 2:00 AM
