Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner knows what works for him and he’s going back there.

Following duds like last year’s Swing Vote (we still have nightmares about that torture), Costner is in talks to produce a new TV mini-series about the Wild West in post-Civil War America.

The Oscar-winning history buff plans to direct and star in the series, which will study settlement in the western United States.

You know, around the same time some of the best films of his career was set.

No, not The Bodyguard or Field of Dreams (our personal favorite).

And iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…

For the first time in a long time, this is a remake we’d love to see.

Which probably means it won’t happen.

Rihanna is reportedly taking meetings this week about a proposed remake of 1992’s classic tale of love, obsession, duty and music; The Bodyguard.

She is one!

We’ve been wondering why Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has begun resembling early Debbie Harry/Courtney Love/Sid’s Nancy and it’s because she’s harboring delusions of grandeur for her big rock career.

Why can’t successful actors leave well enough alone and be happy with their singular career (cough, Joaquin Phoenix)?

Why do they all want to be rock stars too (ahem, Kevin Costner)?

Now Taylor Momsen is joining in the unoriginality. 

Mira Sorvino and Christopher Backus better watch out because Kevin Costner and his wife are right on their heels.

The Dances with Wolves star, 54, and his wife, Christine, welcomed a bouncing baby boy, named Hayes Logan Costner, last night.

The couple married in 2004 and have one other son, Cayden Wyatt Costner, born in 2007. Costner has three other children, two girls and a boy, from a previous marriage.

Congrats to the proud parents!

Taylor Swift was snapped showing some love to her fans as she left her New York City hotel yesterday on her way to perform on Saturday Night Live.

She wasn't allowed to show too much love, however, as seconds later her bodyguard had to shove away an older male fan who was trying to get a little too close to Taylor.

He may not be Kevin Costner, but he still works hard for the money.

Kevin Costner, 53, and his wife of four years, Christine, 34, are expecting their second child together.

The couple's first son, Cayden Wyatt, was born in May 2007 and Costner has three children from his first marriage to Cindy Silva not to mention his new baby, his country album which drops in November.

Between the album and the kid, which one do you think will end up being retarded?

Word on the street is Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are getting ready to dust off their Louisville sluggers, oil those mitts and step back up to the plate.

A sequel of their 1988 hit Bull Durham is reportedly in the works.

No!

This smacks of Blues Brothers 2000. Why tarnish the memory of something great but trying to recreate the magic it had the first time around? It never works!

Kevin Costner is following in Jessica Simpson’s footsteps and releasing a country music album.

Swing Vote is like that one annoying friend who always needs rides to the airport or wants to borrow money. It doesn’t know when to stop asking for favors from the audience, requiring you to suspend your disbelief for two exhaustively long hours and try to believe that an American presidential election could be decided by one vote. Oooookay. The film is all glossy Americana, all the time, even trying to give a trailer park the Michael Bay treatment, making it look sexy, golden and wind blown.
