Kevin Costner’s estranged wife Christine Baumgartner is seeking $248,000 in monthly child support payments, according to recently filed court documents. The former handbag designer alleges the figure “is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle,” per a report from People. Baumgartner also requests that Costner continue paying 100% of private-school tuition, extracurricular activities and sports, plus health-care expenses for their three children. The couple was married for 18 years before filing for divorce on May 2. They share two sons, Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 13. The documents state that Costner’s...

Paramount has officially announced that season 5 will be the last of “Yellowstone”. A sequel is set to premiere on Paramount in December, according to a statement released by Paramount. The sequel doesn’t yet have a title that has been announced. Matthew McConaughey has been “lined up” for it according to Paramount executive producer Chris McCarthy. McCarthy said in part, “‘Yellowstone’ has been the cornerstone on which we have launched an entire universe of global hits. I am confident our ‘Yellowstone’ sequel will be another big hit. The Dutton story continues, picking up where ‘Yellowstone’ leaves off in another epic...

Yellowstone, TV’s top-rated drama, may end in spectacular fashion. Deadline understands that Taylor Sheridan, co-creator and showrunner, Paramount Global and Paramount Network are moving to end their signature show in its current form. But they are plotting a potential franchise extension to continue the Dutton saga, a new show with Matthew McConaughey in talks to star. It is unclear which of the Yellowstone cast will move over to the McConaughey-led series, but it is expected to include several of the big stars. “We have no news to report. Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that’s...

Rep. Liz Cheney is putting some major Hollywood muscle behind her reelection bid, touting the endorsement of actor Kevin Costner. The Wyoming Republican tweeted a photo on Monday of the “Yellowstone” star sporting a pro-Cheney shirt.

This is likely to have an even greater effect than Bill Kristol’s endorsement of Terry McAuliffe. Rep. Liz Cheney, apparently a biologist, says that real men (not trans men?) put country over party and wear “I’m for Liz Cheney” T-shirts. One of those real men is actor and director Kevin Costner.

Hollywood actor Kevin Costner is accusing President Donald Trump of being a "criminal" due to his refusal to throw BILLIONS of dollars in funding to the United States Postal Service (USPS). “It’s terrible. It’s terrible,” Costner proclaimed during an interview with The Daily Beast. “Nothing is surreal. Everything is highly real, and it’s dangerous. And it’s shameful.” The 65-year-old declared that Trump is breaking the law and undermining democracy. Funnily enough, he never specifies what law is being broken by the president. Perhaps because there isn't any. "History will judge you," he said. "When you look back at [Joseph] McCarthy,...

The actor who starred in a classic baseball movie based in Iowa came to the state this weekend to make a political pitch. “I did not fly out here to tell you what to do or who to vote for. I came out to tell you who I’m voting for,” Kevin Costner, standing on stage at a Pete Buttigieg event in Indianola, Iowa, early Sunday afternoon, said at the start. He only indirectly mentioned the “Field of Dreams” — the hit 1989 movie that was filmed in the Dyersville and Dubuque areas in 1988. “This has been a really sweet...

Actor-director Kevin Costner will endorse South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg as the Democratic nominee for president on Sunday, adding to the candidate’s growing list of Hollywood backers. The Field of Dreams star is scheduled to appear with Buttigieg in Indianola, Iowa, Sunday afternoon for a town hall gathering of supporters, according to a tweet from Buttigieg’s official campaign. The Des Moines Register reported that Costner will introduce and endorse Buttigieg before the event at Indianola High School at 12:30

The Highwaymen, Netflix’s new manhunt film starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, is a suspenseful and morally fraught take on the story of the ex–Texas Rangers who tracked down the most famous bank robbers of 1934. But this movie about chasing Bonnie and Clyde is also a movie about Bonnie and Clyde. It’s a pleasing tale of resourceful, hard-nosed cops that’s also something of an essay on cinema and society. Arthur Penn’s 1967 cinematic landmark (which is also streaming on Netflix) launched an American New Wave of counterculture films about anti-heroes and misfits contesting a nefarious system. Penn’s successors painted...

Kevin Costner is still making movies, more for a TV audience than the big screen, but just the same, many are very entertaining. If you haven't seen "Draft Day", currently available on Amazon Prime, it's worth watching. I won't give you much of the story, but let me say, it's a feel good movie, about a Cleveland Browns General Manager, Sonny Weaver (Costner), who just eight hours before the start of the NFL Draft, agrees to deal his Number 7 pick this year, and his 1st round pick for the next two years for the overall number 1 owned by...

Yellowstone follows the Dutton family, led by John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders - land developers, an Indian reservation, and America's first National Park. It is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny - where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world's largest oil and lumber corporations. Where drinking water poisoned by fracking wells and unsolved murders are not news: they are a consequence of living in the new frontier. It is the best and worst...

Cuban dictator Fidel Castro has died at the age of 90. Through the years, a long list of Hollywood elites have been bewitched by Castro, despite his Communist regime’s imprisonment of political opponents, homosexuals, and journalists. Actors like Jack Nicholson and Danny Glover, and Hollywood directors from Steven Spielberg to Oliver Stone, have accepted invitations to the tiny Caribbean island and have showered Castro with praise. Below is a list of some of the entertainers who have rubbed shoulders with the deceased dictator:

So on CNN, Kevin Costner admitted to having used the N word. Many times. So what? Does that make him a racist? I talked about it on this week's radio show, including MY experience with having used and heard the word. Watch for yourself and decide on whether the context matters in this instance.

Vladimir Putin has quite a musical side. The Russian prime minister may have a tough stance on foreign policy, but he also has quite a docile side when it comes to the arts. Putin gave his best rendition of Fats Domino’s classic “Blueberry Hill” for a larger audience at a charity event for cancer in St. Petersburg recently and the A-list crowd could not get enough! The full house was packed with famous faces including Kevin Costner, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Gérard Depardieu and Sharon Stone. OK!

Oliver Stone's recent visit to Venezuela to premiere his Castro/Chavez infomercial "My Friend Hugo" has brought him under fire in social media. Exasperated beyond endurance by the onslaught Stone recently lashed back with (apparently) the most hateful insult his inflamed mind could conjure. You people are: "Similar to the right-wing Florida Cuban exiles who’ve helped keep the US in a dungeon of ignorance!" he raved. For leftists its “right-wing lunatics spreading a dungeon if ignorance!” For normal folks it’s: “people who have actually experienced communism trying to circumvent communist propaganda as disseminated by a media-Hollywood axis—and one not always completely...

PORT FOURCHON, La. — Actor Kevin Costner added a bit of Hollywood glitz, but it was the bright-orange barge full of equipment counted on to scoop oil from the Gulf of Mexico that was the star Thursday. The Ella G, once an offshore supply barge, has been refitted to skim and separate oil spilling from BP's blown-out well, making for a more efficient way to remove petroleum from the Gulf waters. It set sail Thursday. "I know a lot of times you have been down on the ground and stayed down," Costner told workers and visitors who had come to...

Actor and film producer Kevin Costner has become an unlikely hero of the Gulf oil leak disaster. Costner has a company that produces machines that separate oil from water using a centrifuge system. BP has purchased 32 of the machines. Three of the machines are expected to be deployed and working this weekend, with the rest in operation within the next sixty days. The machines, built by Costner's company Ocean Therapy Inc, are designed to purify two hundred thousand gallons of water each day of operation. Costner spent seventeen years and twenty million dollars of his own money developing the...
