Kevin Costner, Wife Have a Baby Boy
Kevin Costner and his wife Christine welcomed a baby boy, Cayden Wyatt Costner, on Sunday, PEOPLE has confirmed.
Cayden weighed in at 7 lbs, 14 oz at birth and has dark hair.
“Both mother and son are doing well,” the actor’s rep said in a statement.
Cayden is the first child for Christine Costner, 33. The Dances With Wolves Oscar winner, 52, becomes a dad for the fifth time. He has three adult children, Anne, 22, Lily, 20, and Joe, 19, from his former marriage to his college sweetheart, Cindy Silva, which ended in divorce in 1994.
He also has a 10-year-old son, Liam, from a relationship with heiress Bridget Rooney.
Costner and his wife of two and a half years had announced the pregnancy in February. Asked at the time how he was preparing for the arrival of the new baby, Costner replied, “There’s a lot of books to read!”
The couple began dating in 1998. They were married on Sept. 25, 2004, at the actor-director’s 165-acre ranch outside Aspen, Colo.
Robert Wuhl re-signs with HBO
Whenever I think of Robert Wuhl, I’m reminded of that scene in Bull Durham where he’s playing a coach meeting on the mound with the pitcher and the catcher — Tim Robbins and Kevin Costner — and they’re arguing about what’s an appropriate wedding gift. It’s an inane, silly, funny moment, topped by Wuhl’s suggestion that candlesticks always make a nice gift.
It’s also nice to report that Robert Wuhl has agreed to remain with HBO. It’s been his comic home for 12 years, including Arli$$ which ran for season seasons and poked fun at the world of professional sports. The show wasn’t a water-cooler comedy like Entourage or Curb Your Enthusiasm, but it was consistently funny and I enjoyed it.
So now Robert, who’s just signed an 18-month deal to create a new series for HBO. He already has the concept, and like Arli$$ it will be a single-camera comedy. The deal also includes other possible projects, like the specials he’s done of late, Assume the Position With Mr. Wuhl.
Considering the current unsettling atmosphere and change at HBO (like chief Chris Albrecht’s exit), it’s no doubt reassuring that a veteran comic like Robert Wuhl has not defected. The tide has seemed to be turning in the cable wars of late, with Showtime getting the upper hand. HBO needs its stars to stay put.
Mr. Wuhl clearly showed his loyalty when he said, “HBO has been my family for a long time. With the changeover, they’ve seen me as one of the few people still there. I think I know what an HBO series should be. And I’ve always been on time and under budget.”
Swing Vote Movie Trailer
Touchtone Pictures (aka Disney) has released the first trailer for their upcoming Kevin Costner Summer comedy Swing Vote. The film actually has an interesting but totally unrealistic concept. Basically the events of the presidential election come down to the vote from one man. Of course the execution of the idea looks like the usual sentimental feel good Disney-level story. There’s nothing like combining a family film with politics… Watch the trailer below and tell me what you think in the comments.
Official Plot Synopsis: “Bud Johnson (Costner) is an apathetic, beer-slinging, lovable loser, who is coasting through a life that has passed him by. The one bright spot is his precocious, over-achieving twelve year-old daughter Molly. She takes care of both of them, until one mischievous moment on Election Day, when she accidentally sets off a chain of events which culminates in the election coming down to one vote…her dad’s. SWING VOTE is a comical look at the journey of one father and daughter who discover that everyone has the power to change the world.”
Swing Vote hits theaters on August 1st, 2008

Nicolas Cage Ditches The Untouchables Prequel
reported that Nicolas Cage had signed on to star in The Untouchables prequel. His name was listed on a marketing concept advertisement aimed for Cannes buyers, and MTV confirmed the fact with his publicists (or at least someone official). Well now Variety is reporting that Cage will not be in the film afterall. Apparently talks ended because of scheduling issues. Yeah right. Principal photography will begin in October 2007. Cage is currently filming National Treasure: Book of Secrets, which is due out in December. This means the film will end production months before then. And get this, Cage is not yet officially attached to a film after that. So I’m guessing that whole “scheduling conflict” reasoning is just the pr speak for “bad script” or something worse.
The Untouchables: Capone Rising follows Al Capone’s arrival in Chicago, Illinois and his dealings with cop Jimmy Malone, and his subsequent rise to power. Sean Connery won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Malone in the original film. Gerard Butler will take over the role in the new film.
The Untouchables is based on the 1959 ABC television series, and was a solid hit, grossing over $76 million domestically. The film starred Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro and Andy Garcia.
