Cover Boy--Almost

Universal declined to comment, but sources tell us that Kevin Costner got bumped from a recent People magazine cover--replaced by the face of Gilda Radner, following her untimely death. Meanwhile, we’ve learned, People’s sister publication, Time, is interviewing “Field of Dreams” principals for a piece on Costner and the film, which has become the word-of-mouth hit of 1989.

Time never promises covers to celebs, so that’s up in the air. Time film critic Richard Corliss told us: “I’m not sure what play a story like that would get these days (with the China crisis). And if I knew, I probably wouldn’t tell you.”
