Five items…..

Remember Kevin being seen on an airplane from Albuquerque to Los Angeles on Wednesday? The Sante Fe New Mexican is reporting not only what I found at twitter but that it was Sante Fe freelance writer Gregory Pleshaw, on his way to Thailand, and that he wrote on his Facebook page, along with what was on his twitter: “Costner’s boots were both beautiful and suede.”

Rivrob twittered: I'm hearing that Kevin Costner is going to be coming in to The Full English Breakfast show on @rivieraradio. Found this link that says: “Check out our website to see great pictures of the events in Monaco!!” Definitely one to keep an eye on, come October 10th:

Found this Armidale, New South Wales Australia band named after Kevin: The Spontaneous Kevin Costner. They only have one song posted but I found that they do have a gig coming up. Their myspace page:

Translated by Google, and from what I can understand, it says that Kevin has requested chips, bread, mineral water, still water, coca-cola, internet connection near the scene that will perform, wine cabernet Savignone and fruit when they play their concert in Arad and that they’ll receive $80,000. A group of Japanese are coming especially to see Kevin and requested help in arranging accommodations for them. Not sure if they are known by Kevin or not.

Kevin seen on a flight this evening….

gregoryptm posted about 6pm PST, September 23, 2009: Celebrity sighting: Kevin Costner is on my airplane. From ABQ (Albequerque) to LA. He looks..like a tired and poorly dressed tourist, carrying a guitar.

I think the “poorly dressed” was likely comfortably dressed in jeans and a nice shirt, the way his fans love to see him, but this person must think people should fly in suits or something. I suppose he could’ve been tired if he’d been in the studio playing the guitar and singing.

“Learning Italian” scenes to be shot in Munich….

According to the following link:
http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/europe/news/article_1502172.php/Studio-scenes-of-Italy-movie-to-be-shot-in-Munich
Studio scenes of a Kevin Costner movie set in Italy are to be shot at Bavaria Film Studios near Munich, probably from February, the director and co-writer, Kevin Reynolds, said Sunday, September 20, 2009. “It's an action comedy with the title ‘Learning Italian’,” Reynolds told the German Press Agency dpa. He said a substantial part of the film would be shot at Bavaria, A contract is to be signed in the next few days for Bavaria to construct a set that depicts the cabin interior of a big airship. The overall Learning Italian budget is in excess of 35 million euros (50 million dollars). It features Costner as a CIA agent assigned to watch a Mafia boss in a delightful Sicilian seaside village, as a punishment for a mission mistake, and when he falls for a local girl he doesn’t want to return, according to a Rome news report in July – also saying filming would be in September between the obsidian and pumice mines on Lipari, in the Aeolian Islands.

Seeing Kevin at the Aberdeen South Dakota Film Fest….

Is still possible and only costs $25! Tickets are still available according to the article at the following link:
http://www.aberdeennews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090905/FRONTPAGE/909050316
There’s been rumors and I’ve seen it in comments at some sites, that the only way to see Kevin is to pay $1000. Of course these people who spread these rumors also think Kevin is doing it for a fee. Not so! There’s always people who want to try to spoil what Kevin tries to do, it seems, by spreading nasty rumors! And they aren’t even reading the news that has said there will be other opportunities to meet Kevin because he’ll be attending some of the other festivities. My guess is that these people spreading the rumors don’t want to meet him anyway! They just want to spew and criticize!
