I have been praying for video of this momentous event, the moment when Kiefer took the crown from James Dean. And, at last, thanks to Defamer, I have it.

Still.

You can take the boy out of Canada, but you can't take Canada out of the boy; what the camera doesn't catch is Kiefer politely asking in advance if he can pay for all damage he's about to perpetrate.

"I hate that f***ing Christmas tree," he declared. "The tree HAS to come down."

Kiefer warned staff: "I'm smashing it – can I pay for it?"

A staff member replied: "I'm absolutely sure you can, sir," 

before immediately taking cover. He saw that look in Kiefer's eye.

Pulling pine needles out of his hair and t-shirt, he said to a hotel employee: "Ooh sorry about that…you're so cool. This f***ing hotel rocks."
