>> INSIDER WIRE —Brooke Shields was silent on the red carpet last night (at the behest of her lawyers) about the Kiefer Sutherland-Jack McCollough incident, but apparently she told friends she was "jostled" by McCollough just before the headbutting, but it was "no big deal." After he made contact with her, she fell, but not all the way to the ground, and she doesn't feel it was intentional — instead, she blames the fall on her 6" high heels. Meanwhile, Jack was spotted earlier today, sporting more bandages than in the initial aftermath two days ago, reportedly from surgery last night. [WWD Twitter, TMZ]

>> This morning, a rumor went around that Proenza Schouler's Jack McCollough was in the hospital after a nose-breaking run-in with Kiefer Sutherland at a Costume Institute Gala after-party, and now more details have emerged.
McCollough allegedly knocked Brooke Shields over and Kiefer, who saw it happen, went over and told him to apologize. Witnesses say that McCollough pushed Kiefer, and the actor responded by headbutting the designer. Police are investigating the incident, and cite visible lacerations to McCollough's nose — nothing about it being broken.
Meanwhile, Brooke Shields reps are already on damage control — they say "nothing happened to her. Jack did nothing inappropriate. It's not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did."
UPDATE: Apparently McCollough filed a complaint with the police last night and told investigators that Sutherland "was drunk and obnoxious and wouldn't back down or be logical." Furthermore, he said the incident "wasn't even over anything . . . he was just roiling drunk and looking for something to smack. It didn't matter what." A rep for the designer declined comment.
