Kevin Costner married handbag designer Christine Baumgartner in a ceremony at the actor-director's 165-acre ranch outside Aspen, Colo., on Saturday.

 

Costner, 49, pulled up to the ceremony site in a horse-drawn carriage, and Baumgartner, 30, arrived soon after in a vintage green pickup truck. The pair tied the knot by a stream, then celebrated with their guests under a tent nearby. Celebrity guests included Tim Allen, Don Johnson and Costner's Dances with Wolves costar Mary McDonnell. It's the second marriage for Costner, the first for Baumgartner.

 

Costner, who has three children with his first wife, Cindy Silva (Anne, 20, Lily, 18, and Joe, 16), briefly met Baumgartner while golfing more than a decade ago, but didn't begin dating her until they met again at a restaurant in 1998. (Costner and Silva split in 1994.) "We exchanged numbers, and I told her that I would ? did she mind if I called her in two weeks. I did not realize that was like an insult to a woman," Costner told PEOPLE in 2003.

 

Despite a brief split in 2002 and an almost 20-year age difference, the two are "like little kids together, really in love," said close friend David Giammarco.

Kevin Costner's wacky Italian honeymoonBy Angela BaldassarreOscar-winning actor/director Kevin Costner and his new wife Christine Baumgartner completed a post-wedding golf trip to Scotland and are continuing their romantic honeymoon in Italy.The happy couple explored the coast of Viareggio, one of the most beautiful seaside resorts of Tuscany, and perhaps searching for a belated wedding gift for his new bride, Costner decided to check out a luxurious sailboat which once belonged to Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.But after Costner boarded a tiny craft called Yellow Submarine to be taken over to the sailboat, it soon became evident that he was in for more than a sales tour. Apparently the voyage was all part of the hijinks of an Italian Candid Camera-style programme and the Hollywood star got swept up in the fun, diving straight into the water fully dressed.Then on another day, Costner spoofed his rugged cowboy image on another Italian TV programme, donning a Western-style ensemble, complete with gun belt and pistol, and mounting a scaled-down mechanical bull.Costner, 49, married designer Baumgartner, 29, last month after six years together. Costner was previously married to Cindy Silva with whom he has three children, ages 16 to 20.

Kevin Costner Outed In Massage Sex ScandalFiled under: Kevin Costner , Scandals , SexKevin Costner has been publicly named as the "celebrity accused of performing a sex act while being given a massage at a famous golf hotel." There was a gag order (no pun intended) on this previously, but now that has been lifted.The actor was accused of the incident at the spa at The Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, Fife, in October 2004. A legal ruling had banned identifying Costner, who had been in St Andrews with his wife, where they attended the Dunhill Links pro-celebrity golf event.The 34-year-old spa worker at the centre of the allegations initially claimed unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination against the hotel after she lost her job. She claimed that she was unfairly dismissed after she made the complaint to management about the 51-year-old star, whose best-known films include Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Bodyguard.However just before a tribunal hearing this morning, the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, settled with hotel lawyers. And this afternoon tribunal chairman Nicol Hosie ruled that both the hotel and Costner could be identified and that there was not a strong enough case for their names to be withheld.No word from Kevin Costner's people on the ruling, however, I'm sure there will be denials all around.

Costner exposed as actor behind sex act claim

By Lee Glendinning and agencies

 

Kevin Costner has been revealed as the celebrity accused of performing a sex act while having a massage at a prestigious hotel in Scotland, after a tribunal ruled there was not a strong enough reason to keep his name suppressed.

 

The Hollywood star was accused of taking off his towel during the massage at The Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, Fife, in October 2004, exposing himself and then performing a sex act.

 

An earlier legal ruling had prevented his identity being revealed, but the tribunal chairman Nicol Hosie ruled that following widespread newspaper and magazine reports outside Britain, as well as internet blogs, which alleged that Costner was the culprit, his name had already fully entered the public domain.

 

A lawyer acting for the Daily Mail newspaper had argued that Costner’s had been published in papers including the Sunday Times in Perth, Australia, The National Enquirer and the Himalaya Times in Nepal.

 

The 51-year-old actor had been on honeymoon with his new wife in St Andrews when he went for the massage.

 

The 34-year-old spa worker giving the massage claimed she had been unfairly dismissed after she made a complaint to management about Costner’s behaviour.

 

But just before her tribunal hearing was due to start today the woman, who cannot be named, settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.

 

Last month, the Scottish masseuse told the tribunal in Dundee that she was "mortified" when Costner removed his massage towel before engaging in a sex act.

 

"It was disgusting and, even though he was a Hollywood superstar, I couldn’t believe he thought he could get away with something like that," she said.

 

"Kevin Costner abused me and I considered that a criminal act.

 

"When I was giving his wife a massage afterwards, I wanted to tell her everything."

 

The management of the hotel had not taken her seriously enough when she complained, she said, and she had not been provided with adequate counselling. The woman said that she was sacked last August.

 

Costner, whose best-known films include Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Bodyguard, is understood to be a good friend of the hotel’s owners. He has previously denied the claims through his publicist Paul Bloch.

 

Speaking from Los Angeles tonight, Mr Bloch said: "This is a dispute between an ex-employee and a hotel; this was never about Kevin Costner."

 

He added: "I have not even reached Mr Costner. He’s on location shooting so he knows nothing more about this."

 

An advocate representing The Daily Mail, Laurence Kennedy told the tribunal: "It is not the role of the tribunal to police the question of reputation," he said.

 

"The newspaper wishes to be free to report the allegations as allegations, not as a matter of fact."

 

After deliberating for an hour, Mr Hosie said it was unlikely that Costner was unaware of the allegations against him, given the coverage the story has had in the American press and on the internet.

 

"It is very significant that his name is widely reported in the world’s press," he said. "It is already a matter which is in the public domain."

 

He added he was not convinced there was a pressing social need convincing enough to allow restrictions to be put in place which would prevent Costner being identified.

Dang ~ you dumb schmuck!! Another perfectly good fantasy ruined!! I have to add though that there are times when I look at GMD and Mr. Pitt-Jolie and think my hormones must have gone non-existent but then I saw Mr. Costner (pre-this news) in person and found my hormones are just fine, thank you very much. Dang, dang, dang it, you stupid schmuck!

It's all right Kappy. We still have Jake! (do you like Jake? for some reason I think you do. if not, substitute name of nice and hot male celebrity here.)Has anyone else heard the rumor that Costner is teeny where it counts? : I don't remember where I first heard this, or if it is in any way reliable, but it kind of makes this story more funny, so I thought I'd throw it out there.

Ew, gross. I thought that blind vice was about tRavolta! Well, his young wife is rumoured to be not-so-bright; how humiliating this must be for her!

NOT LIKE KEVINA BRITISH cutie who knows what a horndog Kevin Costner can be says she's still stunned by the bizarre masturbation charges against him. "How very different from the man I first met," says Annabel Heseltine, daughter of ex- British deputy Prime Minister Michael Heseltine, who says she rejected a quickie from the "Dances With Wolves" wolf after his divorce from Cindy Silva in the '90s. A masseuse claims Costner pleasured himself in front of her during a rubdown as he honeymooned with Wife No. 2 in Scot land. Heseltine, in an op-ed piece in yesterday's London Telegraph, says despite Costner's "easy charm," she "ran into several girls with fractured hearts as a result of a liaison with [him] and was glad I wasn't one of them." She adds: "If he did behave badly, he deserved what he got."

It's all right Kappy.  We still have Jake!  (do you like Jake?  for some reason I think you do.  if not, substitute name of nice and hot male celebrity here.)

Totally neutral on Jake. As a woman, he brings out only maternal feelings in me. Guess I'll have to focus on Mr. Clooney although I like him best when he's on the screen with Brad.

30/04/2006 14:13 Contact Music KEVIN COSTNER's former girlfriend BIRGIT CUNNINGHAM has leaped to the star's defence after hearing allegations the actor performed a lewd sex act in front of a masseuse while honeymooning in Scotland in 2004. The blonde socialite insists the screen star, who visited the five-star Old Course Hotel spa in St Andrews with his second wife CHRISTINE, would never be so "vulgar". And Cunningham, who dated Costner during the 1990s, has suggested the therapist may have fabricated the claims after being rebuffed by the hunk. She says, "Kevin is very romantic and tender, he would never do anything so vulgar. "He would be more interested in a long loving kiss rather than the naughty bit. He really is Mr Perfect, squeaky clean, if a little naive when it comes to realising the effect he has on girls. "Women are always throwing themselves at him but he hates being chased. Maybe she made an advance, was rejected and wants revenge."

Yeah . . . I don't know . . . my first thought was someone was out to make a buck. I have no doubt about this man's problem with cheating but since it's so easy to get someone, why would he do something this crude? Doesn't make sense. And I'd like to keep the fantasy going in spite of any evidence.

[mf'smom 0]

BECAUSE HE THINKS HE CAN. Some guys think they can do whatever they want because they are so cool and rich and stuff. I have never understood why he was considered so hot. I just don't see it.

[Hoyaheel 1,874]

In Bull Durham, when he's telling Susan Sarandon he likes long slow deep wet kisses that last 3 days.....Oh yeah! I see the attraction!!! [that, however, is the only movie I've really liked him in, but GOD do I adore that movie!!! He could give me a pedicure whenever he wanted....Well, back then at least]

Costner Hits Back at Split ReportsKevin Costner has fired back at Hollywood gossip suggesting he and his new wife Christine Baumgartner are on the verge of splitting up. The movie star's publicist, Paul Bloch, has issued a statement on behalf of his client in a bid to end fresh US tabloid speculation about the state of his marriage. He states, "The story is false. They sold their house in Hollywood and they are moving to Santa Barbara. Kevin is on location and Christine is getting the house ready. Christine Costner is on her way to Shreveport, where Kevin Costner is shooting Mr. Brooks. They'll both then go to Providence, Rhode Island for daughter Annie's graduation from Brown University. The Costners will then head back to Los Angeles where Kevin will continue to help Christine with the move. After that, Kevin will go back and finish shooting the remaining several weeks of Mr. Brooks." The split rumors come just a month after allegations from a masseuse that Costner performed a lewd act in front of her while he was honeymooning with Baumgartner in Scotland in 2004. The unnamed 34-year-old claims Costner grabbed her while she was massaging him, before dropping his towel and exposing himself. Bloch has already rubbished the allegations, stating, "We find it unfortunate that Mr. Costner's name has been brought into what is essentially a dispute between a company owned by a good friend of his and a former employee."

SCANDAL IS COSTLYTHE British sex scandal that tarred Kevin Costner - a masseuse claims the actor pleasured himself during a massage while on his honeymoon - may have taken its toll on the star's marriage. According to Us Weekly, Costner's wife of less than two years, Christine Baumgartner, is furious and is now living separately. The mag says Costner told Baumgartner he would do anything to save his marriage. A rep for the couple denies friction. There could be another reason the two are living apart - they recently sold their Hollywood home for a bigger one in Santa Barbara, and Baumgartner is overseeing the move while Costner films a movie in Louisiana.
