John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s Son Jett Dies

Wow, what a tragedy for the Travolta family – their 16 year old son Jett died today while the family, which includes eight year old daughter Ella Bleu, was celebrating the New Year in the Bahamas. While at the family vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, Jett suffered a seizure.

Travolta Sounds Off on Psychiatry

Do you remember two years ago when Tom Cruise had his psychiatry rant with Matt Lauer? Tom said, “Psychiatry is a pseudo science” and argued with Matt, saying, “You don’t know the history of psychiatry. I do.” Cruise, a Scientologist, felt that post-partum depression should not be treated with medication – he used Brooke Shields as an example – but with “vitamins and through exercise and various things.” If you missed the interview, you can still read the entire transcript at the MSNBC web page. Now, almost two years to the day after that interview, John Travolta is coming out … Continue reading →

Tabloid Reporter Nabs Brooke Shields’ Mom

Posted on by

Talk about taking it too far! Brooke Shields is angered that her mother was checkout out of the New Jersey facility she lives in by a reporter and photographer allegedly from the National Enquirer. Sheilds’ mother, Teri, is 75 years old and suffers from dementia. It seems like I remember reading an article not long ago in the National Enquirer in which Teri was lamenting the fact that she rarely saw Brooke or her children. Reports are that the reporter posed as a friend and took Teri out of the facility to get a story. The Old Tappan police were … Continue reading →

Top Gun Landmark Burns

In my opinion, the film Top Gun was the one that boosted Tom Cruise to superstar status, a place he hasn’t left despite his strange Scientology ramblings and couch jumping ways. The film, which has grossed over $353 million both nationally and internationally, has become a huge part of pop culture. The movie received four Oscar nominations, although it only won one (for Best Music, Original Song). There are plenty of pop culture references to Top Gun. There is a FedEx ad in which a carpet warehouse guide radios a co-worker when he sees a flying carpet getting away – … Continue reading →

Jason Beghe Disses Scientology

Do you remember when the Tom Cruise video about Scientology was circulating a few months ago? He seemed almost manically gleeful when talking about the overall greatness of Scientology and spoke about how only Scientologists could save the world. Well, now a former Scientologist has released his own Youtube video, only this one expresses the exact opposite opinions of Scientology. While Tom sang the praises of Scientology, actor Jason Beghe has apparently had enough. This week, the actor called Scientology “destructive” and said it was a “rip-off” on a Youtube interview with Veronica Schmidt. Beghe is best known for his … Continue reading →

Nicole Kidman IS Pregnant

Her publicist, Catherine Olim, has finally confirmed it – Nicole Kidman is pregnant! Of course, the brief statement included that “the couple are thrilled.” Rumors were circulating that she was indeed pregnant (but haven’t they been since before she and Keith Urban even married?) when it was reported that she dropped out of the World War II drama The Reader earlier this month. Nicole’s camp kept denying that she was pregnant and a representative for the production company even refused to say she had quit the Stephen Daldry drama. When specifically asked last week by a Daily Telegraph reporter if … Continue reading →
