Sighting: "Having just seen Kevin Costner's 'semi-chubby' on Defamer, I'm compelled to submit a sighting of him that seems to have occurred just before the unfortunate paparazzo capture. He was lunching at Ono at the Gansevoort Hotel with his wife and entourage, including a cute, blonde teenager. Thought it was his daughter (?), but then he patted her butt on the way out."

Our lovely tipster is referring, of course, to this photo of Mr. Costner, which was apparently taken after he enjoyed (semi-enjoyed?) a good old-fashioned lunch with the family at Ono. Unfortunately, our tipster makes the assumption that a father would not pat his teenage daughter on the ass. Aw tipster, how adorable is your naivet ? These are celebrity families. Let us throw our pre-conceived notions of a healthy family dynamics out the window of our black, luxury SUV, shall we?

In fact, it is indeed very likely that the cute, blonde teenager in question is none other than Costner's daughter Lily, oh, excuse us, Miss Golden Globe 2004.

Disgusting? Obviously. But this wouldn't be the first time Costner brought Lil' Cos out to play at an inappropriate time. You may recall a certain incident when a young, female masseuse in Scotland got to meet him as well. Charmingly, Costner put on that display while honeymooning with second wife Christine Baumgartner.

Okay, insinuating that Kevin Costner got a chubby from playing grab-ass with his daughter is low, even for us. Maybe we should give him the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps the old guy had a few too many sakes at lunch and confused her with his wife. Honestly, they do look kind of similar.
