As Kevin Coster denies affair, his ‘womanizing’ was well known during first marriage, report says

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:25:36 GMT

In new divorce filings, Kevin Costner and his attorneys want the public to know that he wasn’t unfaithful during his 18-year marriage to Christine Baumgartner — in contrast to reports about his first marriage to college sweetheart Cindy Silva, which ended in 1994.In fact, the final years of Costner’s marriage to Silva were plagued by “increasingly public rumors of his womanizing,” allegations of serial cheating and the movie star developing a reputation for being “a total hound” — who would “almost reflexively come on” to any woman who caught his eye, according to a November 1994 People cover story.It’s entirely possible that Costner evolved and matured with age, and he was sincere when he talked about not wanting to make the same mistakes with Baumgartner as he did in his first marriage. With regard to marriage no. 2, the 68-year-old actor and director replied “none,” when asked in court records whether h...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:25:36 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Mystery hunters converged on a Scottish lake on Saturday to look for signs of the mythical Loch Ness Monster.The Loch Ness Center said researchers would try to seek evidence of Nessie using thermal-imaging drones, infrared cameras and a hydrophone to detect underwater sounds in the lake’s murky waters. The two-day event is being billed as the biggest survey of the lake for 50 years, and includes people from around the world watching the waters remotely on webcams.Alan McKenna of the Loch Ness Center said the aim was “to inspire a new generation of Loch Ness enthusiasts.”McKenna told BBC radio the searchers were “looking for breaks in the surface and asking volunteers to record all manner of natural behavior on the loch.”“Not every ripple or wave is a beastie. Some of those can be explained, but there are handful that cannot,” he said.The Loch Ness Center is located at the former Drumnadrochit Hotel, where the modern-day Nessie legend began. In 1933, manager Aldie Macka...

James Maddison scores first Tottenham goal in 2-0 win over Bournemouth in EPL

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:25:36 GMT

BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) — James Maddison scored his first goal for Tottenham in a 2-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday that maintained Spurs’ unbeaten start under Ange Postecoglou.Maddison put Spurs ahead in the 17th minute with a precise finish and Dejan Kulusevski doubled the advantage with his first goal of the season in the 63rd as Tottenham followed up last weekend’s home win over Manchester United with another impressive performance. The team now has two wins and a draw under Postecoglou while playing the attack-minded style of football that the manager has brought to the club. Though with Richarlison struggling badly up front for a third game in a row and still looking for a first goal of the season — he was taken off an hour into the game — some Spurs fans might still be wondering just how good this team could have been had the club not sold talismanic striker Harry Kane to Bayern Munich on the eve of the season. Tottenham dominated the fi...

Better since the break, DJ LeMahieu connecting with Yankees hitting coach Sean Casey

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:25:36 GMT

TAMPA — DJ LeMahieu appeared lost at the plate for most of the first half, but the former batting champion has shown off more of a vintage swing in recent weeks.LeMahieu is slashing .311/.423/.476 with five doubles, four home runs and six RBI in 30 games since the All-Star break. For comparison, the Yankees infielder hit .220/.285/.357 with 13 doubles, seven homers and 27 RBI in 76 games prior to the Midsummer Classic.That stretch had folks wondering if the days of LeMahieu’s machine-like production were over after a foot/toe injury derailed his 2022 season. But the 35-year-old appears to have come out on the other side of a prolonged slump, even if he won’t say so.“I don’t feel like I’m out of anything,” LeMahieu said Friday after the Yankees beat the Rays at Tropicana Field. “We’ve got a month’s worth of games left. It’s just continuing to move forward and continue to improve and be better.”LeMahieu spoke...
