He may dance with wolves but he sings with country heart and soul. Watch the world premiere of Kevin Costner’s debut music video with his band, Modern West, right here.

Dances With Wolves star Kevin Costner and his wife Christine Baumgartner Costner are expecting a bouncing baby boy this spring. This will be the second baby for the couple who previously welcomed son Cayden Wyatt Costner on May 6, 2007.
Kevin’s rep confirmed the pregnancy to Star. “Yes, Kevin and Christine Costner are expecting their second child.”
“Kevin and Christine are ecstatic,” a friend tells Star. “They feel so incredibly blessed right now as everything in their life is perfect.
“Kevin is really in a good place in his life and enjoys being a father and family man. They have an amazing house in Santa Barbara overlooking the ocean with lots of land to play with their growing family. Kevin is perfectly content, playing golf, eating delicious meals, drinking good wine with friends and being a dad!”
Kevin married Christine, a handbag designer, in a ceremony at the actor/director’s 165-acre ranch outside Aspen, Colo., in September 2004. He has three children with his first wife, Cindy Silva — Anne, 24, Lily, 22, and Joe, 20. Kevin split with Cindy in 1994.
“Life just can’t get any better for Kevin,” says the insider. “He is enjoying being a father more than he ever has before. It’s keeping him young!”

Kevin Costner would love to run for political office, but fears he has too may skeletons in his closet.
The actor plays a man who gets to decide the identity of the U.S. president in his new movie Swing Vote.
And the 53-year-old confesses he would love to swap Hollywood for Washington D.C., if he was more clean-cut.
Costner tells Moviefone, “I’ve just lived a little bit too colorful a life. I think people would use that to their advantage, and we would quickly get off the issues that were important. And we would move to something that was just kind of sensational and fun that really doesn’t matter. And that wouldn’t be any fun for me.

Kevin Costner’s bandmates in rock band Modern West learned that having a movie star as a frontman has added benefits, after he landed them roles in his new film.
The actor helped fund new movie Swing Vote and so had no problem casting his band in the picture.
He says, “It was not originally scripted to have my band in the film but the guys all worked for scale and they were cheap, and they didn’t give you any lip or talk about how big their trailer was. It was great for me - I suddenly had the band right where I wanted them doing what I wanted, and they’re my friends. When you’re on location for three months it’s nice to have friends there with you. They were only around for a week or so. They all wanted love scenes. I just told then ‘No’.”
Costner and his band perform in the film, as well as writing and recording a tune for the soundtrack.”

Thousands of NASCAR fans who turned up for Saturday’s Coke Zero 400 were shocked to realize that the lively country-rock band playing featured a familiar face: Kevin Costner on lead vocals.
“There were double-takes,” he said after the show at the Daytona International Speedway. “They get into the music without knowing.”
The actor – dressed in faded jeans, sunglasses and white button-down with rolled-up sleeves – and his band Modern West played a 50-minute set of mostly original songs, capped off by a lively rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.”
Making the night even more special? The actor’s wife, Christine, was in the audience with the couple’s 14-month-old son, Cayden, who watched his dad perform live for the first time. “It was magic,” he said.
Still Costner – who stars in and produced the upcoming Swing Vote, featuring a cameo from racing icon Richard Petty – said he’s happy to leave racing to the professionals.
“I ride bareback with buffalo and do my own stunts in movies that maybe some people wouldn’t do at all, but I’ve never had the penchant for speed,” said the actor, who still owns the Mustang convertible his character drove in Bull Durham. “In high school … nobody wanted to go with me. I was Twenty-Mile-An-Hour Costner.”
Modern West will continue to tour and will release a CD in October. (For more info, check out their Web site.) In the meantime, he’s focused on his youngest son.
“I can’t take my eyes off of him,” he said. “I’m anxious to see what kind of a person he can grow into.”
