Silver Lining Ranch and Little Star Foundation….

The Silver Lining Ranch created through the Little Star Foundation, by former Tennis Pro Andrea Jaeger, is in the news today because nearby residents are stopping the sale of the ranch to a Jewish Community Center, citing that the covenant doesn’t allow it. The article about this has a Kevin Costner mention: "Kev is a very loyal supporter. He loved those kids. He stocked his lake with fish for them, and he went to their talent shows," said Costner's close friend Tim Hoctor. You can see the article at the following link:
http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_13186095

You can check out the Little Star Foundation site:
http://www.little star.org
There’s two pictures of Kevin in the photo gallery and he’s shown in the Video from HBO Sports - Just a quick view of Kevin in the ESPN video.

I don’t fully understand why Andrea is trying to sell the ranch though it seems they are short on funds so I assume fundraising must not be going well. I would hope that someone will be able to step up and purchase the property so that it can continue being used to give sick kids this special time that helps them get through their very tough circumstances.

The Battle of The Celebrity Bands???

At the following link:
http://evansradio.com/blog/?p=885
Mike Evans, the site owner, posted: “TV News: They’re pitching The Battle of The Celebrity Bands show featuring Kevin Bacon, Billy Bob Thornton and Kevin Costner’s bands.”

This I would LOVE to see!!! I’m not sure if this is for real. The other items on the page looked like legitimate news but I couldn’t find anything about this anywhere else. If this happened I believe it would do really great with the ratings!!!

KC’s possible new project this fall in Italy….

After Kevin’s recent interview with Sophia Ahmad, when he mentioned he’d probably be making a movie this fall in Italy, a comedy, entitled, “Learning Italian”, two Italian sites popped up with information. See the following links, translated by Google:

Benefit for the sons of the stage collapse victim….*CORRECTION*

An on-air auction sponsored by Global TV Edmonton netted a $7,000.00 winning bid for dinner with Kevin Costner, to benefit Donna Moore’s sons. There’s a picture of Donna and her sons and a listing of more auction items at the following link:
http://www.globaltvedmonton.com/story.html?id=1862556

* The info in the article above is evidently incorrect. The following link gives new info about the amount paid ($41,000) for the dinner with Kevin and who likely paid it. Also, another woman wants to pay $40,000 for a second dinner with Kevin. Will he accept?
