John Travolta, 56, and his wife Kelly Preston lost their son Jett tragically to a seizure last January 2, 2009 in the Bahamas while they were vacationing. According to Wikipedia, “Jett, who had a history of seizures, reportedly suffered from Kawasaki disease in early childhood.” John Travolta and Kelly Preston also have a daughter, Ella Bleu who was born on April 3, 2000.

CNN.com reported the Travoltas as saying on their website, “It’s impossible to keep a secret,” they wrote, “especially one as wonderful as this. Love, John, Kelly and Ella”

Although John Travolta and Kelly Preston did not reveal a delivery due date, CNN.com said Star magazine is reporting that the couple is about 3 months pregnant. That would make the baby due somewhere around November 2010.

BREAKING NEWS: John Travolta, Kelly Preston Three Months Pregnant? Expecting a Baby in…

Travolta, actor of hit movies Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction, and as Vinnie Barbarino in the TV series Welcome Back, Kotter, was in Maine on May 13, 2010, presumably traveling to their home in Islesboro off the coast of Waldo County when the accident occurred.

Travolta is a certified pilot and owns five aircraft and flew his Boeing 707 full of supplies to help out with the Haiti Earthquake 2010 disaster. Travolta is a practitioner of Scientology which he has been involved with since 1975 when he read L. Ron Hubbard’s book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.  Travolta married actress Kelly Preston in 1991. The couple had two children: Jett, born on April 13, 1992, and Ella Bleu, born on April 3, 2000.

According to the Bangor Daily News, “At approximately 1 a.m. on Thursday, May 13, 2010, an airplane carrying members of the
John Travolta family landed at BIA. While there, two small dogs were taken for a walk by someone who is not a family member. An airport service pickup truck was approaching the airplane to service the airplane and did not see the dogs. Unfortunately, the dogs were struck and killed. The airport is investigating the accident. Out of respect for the family’s privacy the city will make no further comment.

Airport Director Rebecca Hupp said normally it’s the airport’s policy not to comment on the identity of any passengers that come through Bangor, which is why, she said, she didn’t release a statement immediately after the accident happened.

“The airport takes safety very seriously,” Hupp said Monday afternoon. “Many flights come and go without incidents. Clearly, this is an unfortunate accident. Our deepest sympathies are with the family.”

Heroes’ success as a science fiction series began when it premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. Since then, the hit show had a large devoted fan club. Still, it suffered it its later years, so much so that NBC decided to axe Heroes without properly ending the show. According to Entertainment Weekly, “There has been talk that NBC may air a movie that allows the producers to wrap up the story, but nothing has been set in stone. NBC will announce its fall lineup to advertisers Monday in New York.”

Heroes has garnered a number of awards and nominations, including Primetime Emmy awards, Golden Globes, People’s Choice Awards and British Academy Television Awards.

Twilight Cast Interview on Oprah, May 13, 2010
It was a total screaming fest when the Twilight stars came out on stage on Oprah’s show yesterday. It went on and on until Oprah had to hush the audience. Oprah calls says the closest thing to the current Twilight phenomenon is the Beatles. She recalls screaming for Paul McCartney, and exclaims, “Now people are screaming for you!”

Victoria is back and looking to kill Bella and Edward. She’s looking for revenge and she’s going straight after Bella. Bella is the reason Victoria’s mate James was killed. She needs to inflict on Bella and Edward what she had to go through. With James, it was a game, it was a hunt, with this film it’s vengeance. There’s also a giant army of newborn vampires, the strongest vampires ever. The werewolves and vampires need each other and they’re forced to create a team.

Kristen Stewart says of Edward and Jacob, “I’m totally in love with my best friend (Jacob), but not as much as my true love who obviously is Edward. Keeping Edward at arms length and it’s the hardest thing for her to do because she’s definitely betraying true feelings for him. There’s no black and white, no easy answer. Will she give up her life, or will she give up her life?” Meyer goes on to say, “I wanted her to really look at what she was choosing and what she was giving up.”

Isabelle Swan, I promise to love you every moment, forever…..

Born Robert Thomas Pattinson on May 13, 1986 in London, he quickly sought out a career in modeling and acting. The 2005 release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire jump-started Robert Pattinson’s film career. The Twilight novels by Stephenie Meyer catapulted Pattinson into a fenzy that borders on a vampire cult phenomenon. With the 2008 release of the blockbuster movie Twilight, and a year later in 2009 when The Twilight Saga: New Moon came out, fans were already sold on anything Robert Pattinson would do.

People and Glamour Magazines both claimed Pattinson was the “Best Dressed Man” and “Sexiest Men Alive”, and made it into People’s “World’s Most Beautiful” issue. If that isn’t proof enough of his rising fame, a wax statue of him was added to the Madame Tussauds collection in London and New York City.

ABC News.com says, “Behind-the-scenes lobbying effort helped foretell a tug of war this week over images that BP America did not want the public to see as the company struggled to try and contain the massive spill unleashed after one of the company’s offshore oil rigs exploded in the Gulf of Mexico.”

The explosion is responsible for 11 deaths. CNN.com reports BP knew of problems with an offshore well hours before it exploded last month, spilling millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, a House committee chairman said Wednesday.

CNN.com reports, “White, 88, landed the”SNL” hosting gig after a fervent Facebook campaign by her legion of fans. Given her popularity and good reviews for last Saturday’s performance — not to mention the fact she helped deliver the 35-year-old NBC show’s best ratings in 18 months — this new crusade might attract even larger numbers.

Should the Motion Picture Academy not bite, a secondary, somewhat less vocal (for now) Facebook campaign is also underway, for White to host the primetime TV Emmys.

Either way, White has not yet indicated whether she’d be game to host the Oscars, though she did joke in advance promos for her “SNL” appearance that her fans should start blogging,” continues CNN.com

What do you think? Should Betty White host the Oscars next year? Go straight to her “Official Page for Getting Betty White to Host the Academy Awards” fan page and sign up!

CNN.com reports, “Three people died in Cleveland County, just west of Tecumseh, said Albert Ashwood, director of Oklahoma Emergency Management. Two others were reported dead in Oklahoma County.  At least 10 patients in hospitals around the state were in critical or serious condition after injuries suffered in the storm, the emergency management department said, and at least 47 others were treated for noncritical injuries. The storm destroyed at least 40 homes and damaged 108 more, the emergency management department said.”

Homes were blown to pieces, a truck stop demolished, trees ripped from the ground, blown out car windows, snapped utility poles and transmission lines were just some of the destruction this devastating storm left behind. Residents should be prepared to find shelter if the weather worsens.

The American Red Cross has set up shelters around the area for tornado victims.
