John Travolta, who looks alarmingly like Ke$ha, has had a baby. Of course, he hasn’t developed a womb and birthed the thing himself. If that were the case, the headline wouldn’t be quite so dismissive. Naturally, it is his wife Kelly Preston who squeezed the child out of her front bum.

If you’re interested, the child is a boy and they’ve called him Benjamin and he was born in a Florida hospital weighing 8 lbs. 3 oz.

Of course, both the parents are tremendously happy and all that hokey junk, but we’re more interested in his future, which will no doubt be riddled with jealousy of another celebrity child. Read More >>>

For many people, their  interest in John Travolta began and ended with his starring role in the disco-dancing, parent-upsetting, tight-panted 1970s movie Saturday Night Fever.

These people have no desire to learn more about The Trav’s later career as a man looking after a talking baby, or a man who carries around a briefcase full of Christmas lights, or a man who swaps faces with the wooden-faced Jodie Foster impersonator Nicholas Cage.

But we can’t all be rational adults with problem-strewn lives of our own and no time for monitoring the affairs of yesteryear’s celebrities. Read More >>>

You’re off to a bad start when the title for your latest John Travolta starring blockbuster is a play on one of James Bond’s more reserved offerings.

From Paris With Love is another movie from the Luc Besson production line (story credit obligatory), this time involving some secret agents, terrorist plots and John Travolta looking like something Marlon Brando ate.

At its core, it’s a continuation of his character from The Taking of Pelham 123 (except playing for the other side now) still unhinged, erratic and clearly having a ball. It’s the most fun he’s been on screen for quite a while.

Christians around the world will be marking the day that Jesus casually strolled out of his tomb and blew everyone’s minds, by frenziedly heaping great big handfuls of chocolate egg into their mouths, whilst enjoying Mel Gibson’s rather angry take on The Life of Brian.

Yes sir, it’s going to be a great few days.

Anyway, in honour of this chocolatey holiday, we thought it high time we paid our respects to some other historical figures – more specifically, famous people – who have also risen from the dead. Only in a slightly less literal sense. They weren’t actually dead. They were just jobless for a wee bit. Read More >>>

taking-pelham-1-2-3-posterThe quality of John Travolta’s output can usually be attributed to the amount of facial hair he attaches around his dialogue hole.

Face/Off was ace/clean shaven; Swordfish was fairly good with his little happy trail and Battlefield Earth was a cesspool of sci-fi gobbledygook and ZZ Top beards. So with his German porno moustache, you know The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 isn’t going to be an easy ride.

Similarly, you can usually tell the quality of recent Denzel Washington productions by which Scott brother is directing him (in this case the rubbish one). So, Tony Scott remakes the 70’s heist thriller, set on a train with Travolta going all batshit at every available opportunity, while Washington throws his gut around in the face of adversity.

Michelle GellarSome people just don’t quite know how to correctly behave when they’re famous. Yes, we’re talking about you, Sarah Michelle Gellar! And you, Freddie Prinze Jr! Don’t try to hide away from our steely gaze. You both once had the world at your feet. For Christ’s sake, you could have been the next Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. But look at you, so totally normal, it’s disgusting. You’ve even given your child a standard everyday name – Charlotte Grace. Charlotte Grace? What the hell is wrong with you people?

As literally everyone else on the planet knows, if you’re going to live in the limelight, every single aspect of your life must be thrilling and unusual. Your diet, your choice of deity to worship, your outfits, and especially your children. They should be given freaky made-up names that sound stupid, like Suri, Maddox, or Brooklyn. Names guaranteed to see them cornered in the playground, and eventually home schooled. Read More >>>

Medic-Slash-Arsehole Charged With Being A Nob To John Travolta

by Stuart Heritage

We don’t know about you, but the tragic death of a youngster sure does make us salivate for money.

And we’re not the only ones, either, thanks to the genius of Tarino Lightbourne. Tarino Lightbourne was the first paramedic to arrive following the fatal seizure of John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s 16-year-old son Jett earlier this month. And then, it’s alleged, he tried to extort $25 million from the boy’s grieving parents.

For apparently masterminding this John Travolta plot, Tarino Lightbourne has been charged with conspiracy to extort. Paramedic? Pah – the man was clearly born to be a bloody Bond villain.

John Travolta Releases Statement About Jett’s Death

by Stuart Heritage

Of all the terrible ways to start a new year, losing your 16-year-old son on New Year’s Day has to rank among the worst.

So there can’t be a person on the planet who’d want to trade places with John Travolta at the moment. As you’ve probably already heard, John Travolta’s 16-year-old son Jett died at some point between January 1 and 2 from a seizure brought on by his Kawasaki syndrome.

And now John Travolta has released a statement about Jett’s death, thanking the public for its support and describing how ‘heartbroken’ he and his wife are. Horrible news.
