“The song ‘I Will always Love You’ almost wasn’t It wasn’t suppose to be in the movie. It was supposed to be ‘What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?’ — but it came out the year before in another movie,” Kevin said at the beginning of his speech. “So what becomes of our broken hearts?”

“Whitney was the only one who could play Rachel Marron at that time,” he told the crowd.

Costner also recalled a fond memory of Whitney’s audition for The Bodyguard in which the make-up she had put on herself minutes earlier was melted off by the studio’s bright lights. Costner said Whitney had removed the studio’s make-up she had on and instead used her own. 

“She seemed so small and sad at that moment and I asked her why she did it. She said, ‘I just wanted to look my best,’” he recalled. “If Whitney could hear me now, I’d say you weren’t enough, you were great … People just didn’t like you, they loved you.”

Brad Pitt stars as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane in his latest flick Moneyball (out on Friday), and it’s all about the true story of Beane’s controversial draft that used computer generated analysis to create the perfect baseball team.

This got Celebuzz thinking about all the other baseball movies that have been released over the years.

For as long as actors have been gracing the silver screen, audiences have enjoyed and been inspired by movies based around our national pastime, so check out which films we chose in the gallery!

Which one is your favorite? Is there one that we left out? Sound off in the comments!

The Dances With Wolves actor showed up in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to testify at a Congressional hearing and explain his possible “partial solution to the tragedy unfolding in the Gulf.”

Last month Costner offered oil company BP the use of technology he’d developed for the cleanup efforts following the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. And today he discussed the technology, which was developed by his company Ocean Therapy Solutions, before Congress. According to the actor, the machine he developed uses purifiers that filter oil from water through the use of centrifugal forces.

Describing himself as a “discouraged U.S. citizen and entrepreneur,” Costner asserted,

“What I can provide is a technology that is available immediately, a technology that will allow rigs to resume operation and put people back to work.”

Costner added,

“We are all at fault here. It’s just too easy to blame BP. What we need to do now is come together.”

At least he didn’t call BP execs a bunch of “morons.” Unlike some of his show-biz colleagues.

In a move that pretty much nobody could have imagined, the Dances With Wolves star has stepped in to help solve the current oil-spill crisis in the Gulf Coast. Apparently, for the past 15 years, Costner has been developing and investing in (to the tune of $24 million) technology to filter oil out of water, and has offered his device as a possible solution for the oil spill. Not surprisingly, BP, which quite frankly seems to have run out of ideas, has agreed to test out what it’s calling “the Costner solution” beginning next week.

In a statement regarding the collaboration, Costner emphasized,

“It’s not anymore about talk. It’s about doing the walk, and that phrase was probably invented down here.”

Costner came up with the idea for the device while filming the 1995 flop Waterworld. Nice to see that something good came out of that whole mess.

While strolling down a Manhattan sidewalk, the actor (who apparently never leaves home without a trusty pen) was approached by a hopeful panhandler.

Costner just kept smiling at the paparazzi. Hey, what ever happened to giving to the poor, Robin Hood?

Surely there are worse things you could bump into in the street.
