Kiefer Sutherland has returned to the set of hit TV show 24 after filming was halted because he needed to undergo surgery.

Doctors gave the star the all clear to return to work and continue filming the eighth series, Twentieth Century Fox Television said.

Fox has not disclosed what was wrong with the star, referring to it as a “medical procedure” earlier this month.

Sutherland has played counterterrorism hero Jack Bauer since 2001

Charlie Sheen “has entered a rehabilitation facility,” his rep told UsMagazine.com Tuesday.

The actor, 44, will accordingly take “some time off” from his CBS show Two and a Half Men. “He asked that his privacy be honored,” the rep added. No further statements are planned.

It has been a volatile couple months for Sheen. On Feb. 8, he was formally charged in an Aspen court for the Dec. 25 incident in which he attacked his wife Brooke and threatened to kill her. He faces one to three years in prison for the felony menacing charge.

His 32 year-old wife, meanwhile, checked into rehab herself in early February for a reported crack addiction; she left Malibu’s The Canyon on Monday following a privacy breach.

“Brooke voluntarily chose to leave The Canyon for purposes of privacy,” her rep told Extra. “And immediately checked into an undisclosed facility to diligently continue her treatment.”

The couple have two children: twins Bob and Max, born in March of last year.

The mystery of their relationship status has been driving fans of the vampire saga loopy.

Brit actor Robert carried on with the secrecy at Sunday’s Bafta bash – then admitted they were a couple at the post-do dinner.

The pair at first went to ludicrous lengths to avoid being seen together by devoted fans.

They arrived separately and did not sit together during the ceremony at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden.

But as soon as they were out of the glare of the public, they were all over each other.

According to Robert the cloak-and-dagger stuff is just to avoid attention.

He said: “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes.”

“We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it’s impossible. We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy.

“We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention.”

Kristen, who picked up the Orange Rising Star award, arrived at the dinner with six security guards.

I still don’t buy it – but whatever. What do you think?

Here’s what I could find on Knockout!

The impressive ensemble cast for “Knockout,” Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming action spy thriller starring mixed martial arts expert Gina Carano, has just added two more names to the mix.

According to The Playlist, “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” star Channing Tatum has joined the cast of “Knockout,” while Antonio Banderas is currently in talks to participate in the film.

Tatum has a role that is “relatively small in the scope of things,” playing a member of the special ops squadron that Mallory Kane — the lead character played by Carano — belongs to. Tatum’s character Aaron is tasked with tracking Kane down after she’s double-crossed and set up for a murder.

Banderas, meanwhile, is in discussions to play the head of a European black-ops unit.

The latest report has some new insight into the film’s previously cast actors. Michael Fassbender — already known to be part of Kane’s team — will play an “untrustworthy” member of the squadron. Michael Douglas plays a Brian Cox type, but ultimately aligns himself with Kane. Ewan McGregor’s character is the owner of the special ops squadron and a former lover of Kane’s, but that’s not stopping him from setting her up in the first place. Dennis Quaid’s role was previously unknown, but now it’s clear that he’ll play Kane’s father.

Obviously, Soderbergh is going the “Ocean’s Eleven” route for his latest film — that is, he’s casting as many known quantities as possible, whether they’re A-list actors or just familiar faces that will pop on the screen. I’m certainly impressed by the cast so far and can’t wait to see who else joins the “Knockout” party.
