Jesus,” Hall commented, smacking her brow whereas the group laughed.

The Girls Trip actress tried to get well after the playful diss. “No, this is a sad story right now. He’s stuck in Santa Barbara. Let’s pray everyone,” she stated. “Everyone, we do, we pray and we hope everyone affected by these storms remains safe. I’m gonna set that award right there, on your behalf, Kevin.”

We couldn’t even get back to the house this morning in time, with the freeways closed.”

Costner shares Cayden, 15, Logan, 13, and Grace, 12, with spouse Christine Baumgartner. He can also be the daddy of Annie, 38, Lily, 36, and Joe, 34, with ex-wife Cindy Silva, and Liam, 27, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Rooney.

“Nobody’s sadder than us that we can’t be there at the Golden Globes,” the Field of Dreams star added, noting that he and Baumgartner, 48, have been “looking forward to walking down the red carpet” collectively.
