John Travolta and Kelly Preston are ready to show off their new son Benjamin Hunter Kaleo to the world.

Travolta and Preston have been trying to have another baby for three years. They made the announcement about Preston’s pregnancy through John’s website.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have a new Son

Posted by Lauren Treihaft on November 25th, 2010

All star celebrity couple John Travolta and Kelly Preston are NOT getting a divorce like the million other celebrity pairs lately. They have actually welcomed a new son Benjamin, who was born Tuesday in a Florida hospital. According to People.com, the baby weighed 8 lbs., 3 oz.

The couple could not be more thrilled. After the death of their son Jett suffered a seizure and died in January of last year at  the age of 16, Travolta and Preston went through a serious period of depression. It is unthinkable to lose a child, perhaps the worst thing that could happen to parents. It’s nice to see that the couple is back up on their feet and excited to embrace their new son.

Preston told People.com that her daughter, Ella, was helping her prepare for the arrival of the baby. She is extremely excited to be a big sister.

With all of the rampant celebrity rumors and reports of divorce, it is refreshing to see a celebrity couple who will stand the test of time and think positively even through hardship.

John Travolta Drops Charges in Extortion Case

Posted by Megan MacKay on September 6th, 2010

John Travolta has dropped the charges in an extortion case against two men who were allegedly attempting to milk millions from the actor.

TMZ reports that the accused, Tarino Lightbourne and Pleasant Bridgewater, tried to get a payout in exchange for an “ambulance waiver secret” from the day of Jett Travolta’s death.

Jett, Travolta’s teenage son, passed away on vacation in the Bahamas last year after sustaining head injuries during a seizure.

Travolta’s legal woes with the two men have been long and complicated.  Last year the case declared a mistrial due to jury misconduct after an MP openly announced details of the trial at a political convention. It has been rumored that there were negotiations for a plea bargain as early as a few weeks ago, but now it seems as though John is eager to move on from the case.

We certainly hope he does. Losing a son is difficult enough without becoming a victim of extortion over details surrounding his death. Stay strong, J-Travz!

UPDATE: TMZ  has released a statement from the actor. Travolta explains “the long pending status of [the case] continued to take a heavy emotional toll on my family causing us to conclude that is was finally time to put this matter behind us.”  He also mentions that his family is “thankful to the people of the Bahamas for the friendship, love, and support they provided to us during this matter.” Sounds like John and his family are finally taking the next step in the healing process.

Travolta Extortion Case Twists and Turns

Posted by Emma Renda on October 6th, 2009

John TravoltaAs if the Travolta courtcase wasn’t cinematic enough already, his lawyer has adopted some choice moves from the movies to help move the trial along.

According to TMZ, the defense attorney tried to claim Travolta’s lawyer Michael McDermott was the one behind the extortion plot to which – and this is when it gets good – McDermott responded, “You can’t handle the truth! You can’t handle the truth!”

The line is straight out of A Few Good Men starring Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, and the defense lawyer didn’t miss the reference.

The lawyer for the alleged extortionists replied, “You’ve watched ‘A Few Good Men,’ huh?”

Voice of Bart Simpson is a Scientologist

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 31st, 2008

Everyone knows that Lisa is Buddhist buds with Richard Gere, but who knew Bart was skateboarding off to the Church of Scientology?

The voice of the infamous 8-year-old cartoon character, Nancy Cartwright, donated $10 million to the church last year, reports PageSix.com.

In comparison, Tom Cruise donated $5 million over the year in an “instalment plan.”

The money goes toward spreading the church’s anti-psychology message. “It was all part of Scientology’s Global Salvage effort, which aims to ‘de-aberrate’ Earth ? meaning to rid mankind of psychology ills and other ‘aberrant’ behavior,” the site reported.

Kirstie Alley matched Cruise’s donation, while John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston pitched in $1 million each. They all reportedly received awards recognizing their contributions.

Why Was John Travolta Not at TomKat’s Wedding

Posted by andPOP Staff on November 22nd, 2006

Looks like Oprah has more influence than anyone thought.

TMZ.com reports that because she was not invited to TomKat’s wedding, she had her pals, and Scientologists themselves, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley, skip the big day last weekend in Italy.

Rumours have been running rampant as to why Travolta did not attend, considering he is a big name Scientologist and one of the first celebs to see baby Suri after her birth earlier this month.

“We weren’t privy to the invite list,” was the response from the Travolta camp as to why he did not attend when TMZ.com contacted them.

Celebrities that attend the nuptials included Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith, Victoria Beckham and Brooke Shields, as well as fellow Scientologists Leah Remini and David Miscavige, who is the head of the Church of Scientology and was Cruise’s best man.
