Kiefer Sutherland's Divorce Finalized

LOS ANGELES (May 19) - Actor Kiefer Sutherland, star of Fox television's espionage thriller "24," has officially been granted a divorce from his wife of nearly eight years, court documents made public Monday showed.

The divorce decree was entered last Friday for the star and his long-estranged spouse, Elizabeth Kelly Winn, by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge, according to the documents, posted by the celebrity news website TMZ.com.

The 41-year-old son of veteran actor Donald Sutherland originally filed for divorce on May 12, 2004, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had been separated since 1999, and have no children together.

Sutherland, once famously engaged to Julia Roberts, was previously married to Camelia Kath, the widow of rock band Chicago's Terry Kath. The couple divorced in 1990 after three years of marriage and have one child, a daughter, Sarah.

His divorce was not the only recent legal entanglement facing the actor. He was arrested in September for driving under the influence of alcohol and later served 48 days in jail for that offense, including 18 days for violating his probation from a 2004 DUI arrest.

The London-born star is best known for playing the hard-boiled government agent Jack Bauer on "24," which is due to return next year for its long-awaited seventh season. He also is lending his voice to the upcoming animated film "Monsters vs. Aliens," set for release in 2009.

MONEY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. EVEN POOR PEOPLE GET DIVORCED. PEOPLE FALL OUT OF LOVE JUST LIKE THEY FALL IN LOVE, THAT'S ALL. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES IN LOVE. YOU TAKE A CHANCE EVERYTIME YOU ENTER INTO A RELATIONSHIP. SOME MAKE IT TILL THE END, SOME DON'T. IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE. WE'RE ALL HUMAN AND WE ALL FALL SHORT AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER. TWO PEOPLE DON'T REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER WELL, UNTIL THEY LIVE TOGETHER UNDER THE SAME ROOF. THAT'S WHEN YOU SEE THE REAL PERSON YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH WITH ALL HIS OR HER VIRTURES AND DEFECTS.

The Hogans divorce is a farce.They are only doing this to try and save millions from a lawsuit.Their son is a idiot.He gets 8 months in jail for putting his best friend in a bed for the rest of his life.Then Huck goes to court saying they were the victim.His son was the one driving the car and drag racing on a city street.
