• Costner and Modern West recorded Untold Truths, their new album to be released Tuesday.
  
  “I just wanted to play music with my friends again,” he said. “I wanted to play original music, and I wanted to see where that took us. … In a way, it’s the way I handled my acting career. I never went to the Oscars in my head. I never went to the premieres in my head. I just said, ‘Could I make a living doing this?’ I wanted to do the work. And that’s really what happened with the music, too.

• Syracuse, NY -- Actor Kevin Costner and his country-rock band, Modern West, will headline the Taste of Syracuse with a free concert in Clinton Square June 6, organizers said Sunday.
  
  Costner and his band will perform about 9 p.m., capping two full days of musical entertainment and food during the festival, which runs June 5 and 6 in Clinton Square.
  
  The movie star and his band are coming to Syracuse as part of a tour that begins in Reno, Nevada in April. Costner and Modern West will be at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls June 4 and 5 before coming to Syracuse.
  
  "I am so excited I can't even stand it," said Pam Levine, Taste of Syracuse event's director. "It was on the fence for a while, because he thought he might be doing a movie. We're excited, and it will be cool being in Syracuse and listening to Kevin Costner. We don't get that kind of entertainment , especially for free, very often."

• "Field of Dreams" star Kevin Costner has another dream -- helping to clean up the massive oil spill that has contaminated the Gulf of Mexico over the past few weeks.
  
  BP has approved a test of Costner’s Ocean Therapy device to help the company clean up the Gulf after its Deepwater Horizon drill rig exploded and began spewing oil into the water, officials said today.
  
  The machine -- described as a processing device that separates oil from water -- was first developed by scientists hired by Costner following the 1989 Exxon-Valdez oil spill off the coast of Alaska.
  
  “The machines are basically sophisticated centrifuge devices that can handle a huge volume of water and separate at unprecedented rates,” Ocean Therapy Solutions CEO John Houghtaling told CBS's New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV.
  
  “They were developed from older centrifuge technology. Normal centrifuge machines are very slow and sensitive to different ratios of oil to water mixtures at intake. Costner has been funding a team of scientists for the last 15 years to develop a technology which could be used for massive oil spills.”
  
  The former "Waterworld" actor could not be reached for comment today, but told reporters last week that he wanted to help.
  
  "Years before I got involved, oil spills came and I would wonder why we couldn't clean this up," he said.
