Kevin Costner and his band were due to take the stage at the Big Valley Jamboree in Canada yesterday when a storm touched down causing the stage to collapse. One person died and at least 60 people were injured.
Costner was okay, but we're told two members of his band were taken to the hospital. A witness on scene tells TMZ he saw Costner helping people out of the wreckage.
Country music singer Billy Currington was performing his last song when the stage collapsed. He was ok.
In a statement to TMZ, Costner's rep said: "We are so saddened by the loss of life and injury that occurred on a day that carried so much promise, but turned so wicked so quickly. We hope to return to Alberta in the future to help with the healing."
We've obtained the 911 call made in January by an employee of Kevin Costner -- where he describes how Kevin became "violently sick" while driving.
The caller calmly explains Costner had to pull over his Audi in the middle of Hollywood after suddenly becoming ill and "throwing up".
At one point, the caller says, "It's Kevin Costner, actually, just to let you know." To which the 911 operator amusingly responds: "THE Kevin Costner?"
As TMZ first reported, Kevin was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he stayed overnight while awaiting results of tests, which came back normal.
Kevin Costner tried to go incognito through the streets of NYC, but as soon as one papper said his name out loud, he was surrounded faster than Britney at a Taco Bell.
Costner was also hit up for cash by a homeless guy -- and was about as generous as critics were to "Waterworld."
Judging by all the pap attention, it looked like Kevin Costner was still relevant. It's too bad all the questions they threw at him were about things that happened -- or people he knew -- nearly 20 years ago.
Kevin Costner got pissed off last night when paps got a little to close to him and his baby.
TMZ cameras spotted the "Waterworld" star and wife Christine outside of One Sunset last night, where Costner was stern in asking the paps to back up as he unloaded his 5-month-old son, Cayden Wyatt.
Costner then got angry when one photog was still standing too close -- and started walking toward him like he was going to start something. The paps backed off, with one easing the situation by asking the couple to pose for one shot, and promising to leave.
Kevin Costner recently celebrated the birth of his fifth child, his first with wife Christine Baumgartner, but daddy still likes to rock out with busty blondes!
TMZ has obtained video of Costner performing with his band at a recent concert in Greenville, South Carolina, when a female fan hopped on stage to get a better view of his instrument!
Hmm ... wonder which asset got her the VIP access?
Kevin Costner claims his rock band was screwed out of millions of dollars ... and he's placing the blame squarely on alleged bad promotion.
In a lawsuit filed earlier this week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Costner claims a promotional company called Mahee Worldwide Ventures promised him "millions of dollars in guaranteed fees" for the right to promote The Kevin Costner Band on the Internet and TV, and to "organize and promote up to five concerts a year" for two years. According to the documents, "no effort was made" to do any of those things, and Costner has suffered substantial damages because of it. Now Costner is asking for $4 million in band-aid!
The documents also reveal that Costner says he worked with the company because they claimed to have "promoted other celebrities -- such as Lindsay Lohan."
Costner, who is lead singer in the band, knows a little something about self-promotion; he refers to himself in the lawsuit as: "Academy Award winning director, producer and actor."
A rep from Mahee Worldwide Ventures had no comment.
DYERSVILLE, Iowa (AP) -- The corn lining the outfield is tall again this year. The white farmhouse, wraparound porch and picket fence appear unaffected by time. The mythic baseball diamond and lush outfield look just like they did in the film made 17 years ago.
And for a few hours, hundreds of children and parents raced around the bases, played catch or hit soft pitches in the field made famous by 1989's "Field of Dreams." For 10-year-old Alexis Turner, the visit included a brush with Kevin Costner, the movie's star who returned Friday for the first time since filming ended.
Stars -- they're just like us, right? They meet, fall in love, marry and, well, divorce just like 50 percent of the rest of us. But as we bicker over who gets the dog for the Fourth of July and permanent custody of the easy chair... stars deal in cold hard cash... wild amounts of it.
TMZ has done some digging to find divorce settlement whoppers. A theme surfaced, which could be an important life lesson for us all: If you line the pockets of your soon-to-be ex with money, and lots of it, they're way more likely to leave happy... and leave you alone.

4) Jessica Has Just GOTTA KNOW: Is Johnny Depp married to Vanessa Paradis?
Although they have been an item for quite some time now, Johnny Depp and french singer/actress Vanessa Paradis are not married. For one, Depp feels as if he would ruin Vanessa's name by adding his on. "It would be such a drag to stick her with Paradis-Depp. It's like a flat note." "It's so perfect -- Vanessa Paradis." And secondly, both feel that it is not a piece of paper that defines their relationship and the feelings they share for one another. Together they have two children, Lily-Rose Melody Depp and Jack Depp, and split their time residing in Los Angeles and in the South of France. Click here for the Johnny Depp photo gallery.
