Kevin Bacon strolled the beaches and streets in Miami with his wife Kyra Sedgwick yesterday afternoon. Kyra held the arm of Kevin during parts of their walk around town as they went from the beach back to their hotel.

It was announced earlier this month that Kyra’s show ‘The Closer’ on TNT would be ending after the upcoming season on TNT.

It’s impossible to fully express our appreciation to Kyra Sedgwick, series creator James Duff and all of the other talented people who brought THE CLOSER to TNT viewers,” said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks. “THE CLOSER was a pivotal series in setting a new course for TNT’s original programming, while also serving as a prime example of the storytelling strength possible on cable television.”

“I cannot fathom how difficult it will be to say goodbye to the incredible family we’ve created on THE CLOSER,” Sedgwick said. “I will always be grateful to James Duff for his love and friendship, as well as for creating such a rich and complex character who I have loved living with year after year. Mike, Greer, Rick and all of our outstanding cast and crew are forever in my heart. I want to thank TNT and Warner Bros. Television, as well as the incredible fans of THE CLOSER, for all of their unwavering support over the last seven years.”

I really loved ‘The Closer’ for the first couple seasons, but I lost interest after that. You’ve seen one episode, you’ve seen them all IMO. But it was definitely a good show!

PS: I love them! It’s nice to see a couple that actually makes it!

When it comes to debates at home with his wife Kyra Sedgwick and their teenage daughter Sosie, Kevin Bacon says he’s the underdog – but that doesn’t stop him from being strict in the areas he deems necessary.

“With my daughter I would say she usually wins [the debates], especially in the last few years,” Bacon, 51, told PEOPLE at Tuesday’s Lexus Darker Side of Green Climate Change debate in New York City. “When they are really little you can sort of play it off, but when they turn into teenagers you start to give them the heads up about their opinions and talk about things with them. But in the end she usually wins.”

Sosie, 18, may have found a soft spot in her dad, but the Taking Chance star said he’s still the disciplinarian at home. “I think I am more than mom,” said Bacon. “I am about certain things, like curfews.”

In terms of Sosie (the Bacons also have a son, Travis, 20), “We just spoke about curfews tonight, and she said to me, ‘Do I have a curfew?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I think you do!’ And she said, ‘I don’t think so. I haven’t had a curfew for years.’ So we had a debate about it, and I won.”

But what about debating with his wife of 21 years? “She usually wins,” he said with a big smile. “She’s a very good arguer. She always makes good solid points, and I just nod and agree.”

Love them! They’re one of my favorite Hollywood couples!

Kyra Sedgwick and her actor-husband, Kevin Bacon, managed to stay out of the gossip pages until they were among the many victims of the massive Ponzi scheme run by financier Bernard Madoff.

“I think the interesting thing about it was that I always thought, `We’re so boring. We should be in the tabloids more. C’mon honey, let’s have a scandal,’” the 43-year-old actress said.

“Well, it wasn’t the truth that we were destroyed,” Sedgwick said in a recent conference call from New York. “And I think when you say `no comment,’ that’s, of course, where they’re going to go, because it’s fun and it grabs headlines and people will be more interested.”

“It’s been really unpleasant and makes you feel really vulnerable. But the fact of the matter is that we did not lose everything,” she said. “We lost hard-earned money that we worked very hard for that was what we thought in a safe place. It’s painful but a lot of people lost a lot more. And we have a lot of things to be grateful for in our life, and we never ever forget that.”

Kevin Bacon and wife Kyra Sedgwick were among the celebrities taken to the cleaners in the alleged Ponzi scheme run by disgraced financier Bernard Madoff, but Kevin tells Life & Style he’s trying to keep his losses in perspective. “There are a lot of things I’m grateful for: my health, my family, my career, my family’s health,” he told Life & Style Friday at a Television Critics Association press event in LA. “We’ll march on. We have to. There’s nothing you can do about it. You can’t change what happened. Things could be worse. You remember that, and you go on with your life.”

But Kevin was shocked by the news of Madoff’s scam. “I didn’t see it coming,” he said. Asked by Life & Style what he’s currently working on, Kevin replied: “I don’t have anything lined up right now, but I need to work, for obvious reasons.”

From NY Mag:

The crap thing about being Kevin Bacon, it turns out, is that sometimes you find yourself six degrees from the wrong kind of guy. Such as, for instance, Bernie Madoff. We’d heard that along with Hollywood boldfacers Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, Bacon and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, lost money in Madoff’s devastating $50 billion Ponzi scheme, and Bacon’s rep, Allen Eichorn, confirmed it for us. “Unfortunately, your report is true,” he wrote. He wouldn’t elaborate on whether, as we’d heard, they’d lost everything except for their checking accounts and the land they own. “I can confirm that they had investments with Mr. Madoff — no further specifics or comment beyond that,” he said, adding: “Please, let’s not speculate or rely on hearsay.”

But we can’t help but speculate! Just think about it: Footloose money: gone. Wild Things residuals: gone. The Singles stash: obliterated. If there’s anyone in Hollywood who didn’t deserve this, it’s Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Those two have worked. It sincerely pains us. At least they have The Closer to fall back on.
