Kevin Costner has poured cold water all over those rumors of a romance with Jewel. The Yellowstone star stopped by SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday (June 18) to promote his new movie Horizon: An American Saga – and break his silence on that dating chatter.

He’s not hooked up, not in in love right now. “Jewel and I are friends. We’ve never gone out,” he tells Stern. “She’s special, and I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that’s what we have.”The pair apparently bonded when they were hosted on Necker Island, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson’s private hideaway. “I got on a plane with nine people — Jewel was one of them,” he explains. “She was somebody I just had some tremendous conversations with.”

The gossip columns took notice when the singer, 50, and actor, 69, appeared together at a tennis fundraiser last December in the British Virgin Islands. Later, in April, Elle magazine published an interview in which Jewel gave her own response on the two-time Oscar winner, declaring him “a great person,” adding, “the public fascination is intense for sure.” And that was all.

Costner enjoyed a hot streak in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s as the lead in The Untouchables, No Way Out, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Dances With Wolves and The Bodyguard, in which he played the titular character alongside the late superstar artist Whitney Houston. Conversation moved on to Houston, who, by making her silver screen debut as Rachel Marron and landing a massive, global hit with the film’s soundtrack, become one of the biggest stars of them all. “It could have been Michelle Pfeiffer, it could have been Julia Roberts,” remarks Costner, “but when I looked at it, I thought, ‘No, it should be Whitney Houston’”. He recounts, “for me, it was so easy to go, ‘Well this is the most beautiful girl, this is the one who can sing … this is the girl.’”

Houston, whose life and premature death in 2012 at the age of 48 is retold in the 2018 documentary Whitney, was initially out of her comfort zone in The Bodyguard.She “didn’t really know how to do [her character’s first] line and I said, ‘We have to find the acid in you … the kind of diva moment in you,’” Costner explains. “I said, ‘If you’re uncertain about things, Whitney, just look at me and tell me and we will drift off into the corner and I’ll make this right for you.’”It was Costner’s idea for Houston to kick off her cover of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” a cappella, he reckons. “If she’s going to sing a song, the way she can really show that she really loved me was she would do it without a single note and that would prove how brave she is,’” he claims. And in a bolt from the blue, Costner confirmed he had planned on making a sequel to The Bodyguard, with Princess Diana in a co-starring role. “She was very sweet,” Costner says of the late member of royalty, who died 1997, aged 36. “I never made that movie because I could not replace Princess Di,” he says. Was a kissing scene written into the script? “I wasn’t going to make the full romance about her,” he admits, “but there was going to be a moment.”

Costner returns to the wild west for chapter one of Horizon, due out June 28, for which he stars and directs. Ahead of release, Costner dropped a different kind of project – “Mountainside Mocha Latte,” a coffee collaboration with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters.

Dion, who was diagnosed with the rare autoimmune and neurological disorder Stiff-Person Syndrome in 2022, announced the financial support Monday during the premiere of her forthcoming documentary, I Am: Celine Dion.
Trending on Billboard
While the symptoms of the chronic disorder began appearing in the mid-2000s, they got progressively worse, until Dion made the announcement in Dec. 2022 that she’d been diagnosed with the incurable ailment that caused her to cancel a planned tour that year.
In an emotional NBC special which aired last week, Dion described being gripped by fear when the disorder’s symptoms began to affect her in 2008, affecting her mobility and causing spasms so intense they caused broken ribs and sometimes made it feel like “somebody is strangling you.”
The powerhouse Canadian vocalist has not performed on stage since March 2020, but the door is not closed on a return to the stage.
In a separate interview for Quebec’s TVA, Dion discussed why she went public with her ordeal. “My fans deserve to know what’s going on,” she says. “They have given me and my family an exceptional life since the age of 12, [and now I’m 56]. I am not going to let them down.”
I Am: Céline Dion is directed by Irene Taylor, and available worldwide from June 25 on Prime Video.

The highest new entry on the forthcoming albums survey is expected to be Paul McCartney & Wings’ One Hand Clapping (Capitol), a collection of previously-unreleased works recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 1973. It’s new at No. 3 on the chart blast and should become the band’s ninth U.K. top 10 appearance.
Also hunting a top 10 spot is English indie-rock act Sea Girls with Midnight Butterflies (No. 4 via Alt), Fred again..’s USB (up 171 places to No. 6 via Atlantic), the late David Bowie with the posthumous boxed set Rock ‘n’ Roll Star!

Khimani’s expertise in entertainment law and her commitment to protecting creative works “align perfectly with Songtradr’s mission to empower artists and rights holders worldwide,” the licensing platform’s statement continues.
Adds Paul Wiltshire, CEO of Songtradr, “Alex’s visionary approach to integrating music, technology, and video games, along with Priyanka’s extensive rights knowledge and dedication to the creative community, will provide strategic insights and strengthen our leadership as we continue to innovate and grow in the global music marketplace.”These new appointments of Rigopulos and Khimani to the Songtradr board, where they join Lindsay Nahmiache, Helge Steffen, and Wiltshire, reaffirms its “commitment to leveraging top-tier expertise to drive forward its mission of powering the world with music,” the corporate statement continues.
Songtradr made headlines in September 2023 with the acquisition of Bandcamp, a crucial commerce platform for independent musicians, buying the business from Epic Games.The plan, Wiltshire said at the time, was to “introduce the opportunity of licensing” to Bandcamp artists who are interested in seeding their music to various brands and platforms. “We think that alone is a really big piece, and we want to get that right,” Wiltshire added. “That will create a lot of opportunity for the independent market and the artists on there.”
