WILLIAMS BACK FROM REHAB STAY

LOS ANGELES — After spending two months ensconced quietly in an Oregon rehab program, Robin Williams is back making laughs onscreen.

The 55-year-old comedian voices two characters in the animated "Happy Feet" and performs alongside an ensemble cast including Ben Stiller and Dick Van Dyke in the holiday fantasy "Night at the Museum."

He's grateful, he said, for the support of family and friends after his relapse into alcoholism earlier in the year, for which he checked into rehab on his own.

"Glad to have done it. Club medicated. Came out, happy to be around," Williams said. "Good to have backup."

Williams was speaking from San Francisco, where he said he'd reached that phase of Christmas shopping "where you go from hunter-gatherer to shopper-borrower."

Williams plays a wax figure of Theodore Roosevelt, a role the manic but brainy comedian said was "a wonderful thing."

"He was bigger than life at a time when there were big men as president — big fat men. He was a very active, vital, very well-read, well-written, really outspoken man," Williams said. "He was put in power by people who thought he could never do any damage. Then bang! President McKinley was assassinated and he's one of the great reformers of the early 20th century."

FILMMAKER CHARGED IN DUI

Filmmaker Gus Van Sant, 54, known for his idiosyncratic, intelligent and witty films, was arrested at 1:40 a.m. Thursday in Portland, Ore., and charged with drunken driving, the Smoking Gun Web site reports.

Van Sant, who got an Oscar nomination for 1997's "Good Will Hunting," was driving his '06 Porsche Cayenne without his headlights on, attracting police interest. Van Sant's alcohol level was said to be twice the state's legal limit. Van Sant, who also directed "My Own Private Idaho," is to appear in court Jan. 17.

SUTHERLAND: RIDE 'EM, COWBOY

NEW YORK — Kiefer Sutherland is an Emmy award winner for his role as agent Jack Bauer on "24," but he also holds another prestigious title: rodeo champion.

"What I lacked as a roper and a cowboy, I could make up for in horses," the 40-year-old actor says in the January/February issue of Men's Vogue magazine, on newsstands Tuesday. "Roping is one of those sports like polo where you get infinitely better the better your horses are. I had some great horses."

Sutherland, who has starred in such films as "The Sentinel" and "A Few Good Men," learned the basics of horseback riding in 1994's "The Cowboy Way."
