I had no idea that john travolta son had autism, that is sad. It is also sad that they belong to a religion with such crazy views.

The Kennys also claim that Kelly and John "let Jett sit in front of video games all day eating junk food, while they eat the best organic food money can buy. They exclude Jett from all social events because they are embarrassed."

"Once," reports Kenny, "when Kelly took him to the movies, Jett started to have a meltdown and Kelly pointed at the nanny and ordered, 'Take care of it.'"

How does this "Florida man" know all this if he only met him at his restaurant, comped the meal and spoke briefly? I'm not saying it's not true, but I'd consider the source before making Travolta out to be an "abusive" father. That said, Scientology does believe weird things.

On a lighter note, I feel much better about my aging 47 year old body having seen close up photos of Melanie Griffith's knees! Oy! She could have helped her skin if she hadn't smoked.(see photos) It really does affect your skin tone.

- America Ferrera, I love her, but wouldn't Amy Winehouse been better to show the effectiveness of the program

-The best laugh of the morning goes to Val Kilmer. Oh Lord, I hope that was his agent and not his girlfriend. (Yes, it matters)

-What idiot thinks he remade Terminator without James Cameron and Arnold? Someone should smack him.

-Juliette Lewis: I know what concert to avoid this summer.

Finally, I can say I have a body like Val Kilmer's. (He and I both need to apologize to our wives.)

The creepiest thing about Val, though, are not those pictures. It's turning to one of the local community access-type channels in Wheeling, WV, on a Friday night looking for the real estate listings and instead seeing Val Kilmer read and explain a passage from the Bible.

Val Kilmer marches to his own drumbeat, but c'mon Val, that stomach is ridiculous.

Who cares about anything Nick Cannon does?

If Phil Spector was pointing guns at people, how come no one ever reported him to the police?

I smitten with Ryan Reynolds too.

I have the second the question about that guy Kenny knowing everything about Travolta. Maybe Travolta just didn't want to share personal details about his kid's treatment with a total stranger? Or, maybe he's abusing his kid. Who knows? But isn't that the point - I doubt this guy knows! If that stuff isn't true, that guy's begging for a (well-founded) slander lawsuit if Child Protective Services does come calling, or someone decides not to hire Travolta because of it. What a stupid thing for that guy Kenny to do!

Juliette Lewis is crazy.

...and I am totally in L-O-V-E with her.

She looks like a methed-up version of Bruce Dickinson in 1985. Rrrruuuunnn toooo theeee hiilllllllssss!

Posted by: Pompous Magnus | May 11, 2007 9:55 AM

Yeah, John Travolta may or may not be a bad father.
But not playing in a celebrity golf tournament is not cause for calling in child protective services.

This is the first I'm hearing about Jett's autism, but I have heard about how he's an uncontrollable tantrum-throwing brat and his parents rely on nannies to discipline (or not). I feel bad for the kid, and most kids raised by Scientologists -- sometimes a kid needs medical attention, not auditing. Ok, Phil Spector pulled a gun on me too.
(LiLo looks supercute in that photo, and I usually hate coral-colored clothes!)

Thanks, Liz. Tonight I will have Juliette Lewis nightmares!!

Liz:

1. Why the asterisk for Flickerstick? Grammar geek that I am, I kept looking for the accompanying footnote, probably something to the effect that they were robbed in favor of Soulfinger (not that I agree). Man, I miss Bands on the Run. (added bonus, those were the days when televisionwithoutpity.com REALLY rocked the recaps). Even Harlow, for being a really sucky band, rawked.

2. Trading in Alannis Morrissette for Scarlett Johansson? Sounds like Ryan Reynolds hit the girlfriend upgrade lottery.

3. Kudos to Byoolin for the Val Kilmer = Dr. Gene Scott reference (if that's what you were going for).

The pictures of Melanie Griffith are perfect for what happens when you abuse alcohol and drugs.

When has Juliette Lewis not been weird?

Posted by: Sharon | May 11, 2007 11:28 AM

Jaret wasn't selling coke in college like Tim Allen was.

"Nick Cannon" sounds like a porn star name.

Posted by: arlington | May 11, 2007 11:47 AM

Arlington: Isn't "Nick Cannon" one of the annoucers on MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch?

Ryan Reynolds "traded up" from Morrissette for Scarlett Johansson? ...wow, I wouldn't mind one of Ryan's hand-me-downs. Scarlett might be cuter, but Alannis can hold her own in any conversation. Besides, she played God. :)

Ryan Reynolds.....**makes Homer Simpson drooly noise**

Ah, delightful Wheeling, WV....home of Wheeling Jesuit University & strip clubs & not too far from Moundsville Prison.
