Jett Travolta’s Nanny Was John Travolta’s Lover

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Sunday, January 4, 2009

Did John Travolta hire his unqualified gay lover to care for an ill child, who then died on the faux nanny’s watch? If so, you won’t read about it in the trashiest of Internet tabloids.

A TMZ.com story on the death of John Travolta’s 16-year-old son, Jett, mentioned that he was found by family nanny Jeff Kathrein — but it didn’t run a famous picture of Travolta kissing Kathrein.

In 2006, Kathrein and Travolta were caught by paparazzi locking lips. The Travolta camp’s official explanation: Why, John kisses everyone like that! But in the wake of a teenager’s death, no one stopped to ask who the man who found him dead is, and what his relationship was to the kid’s father.

Kathrein is one of the Travolta family’s two nannies. On his website, he describes himself as a photographer; he mostly lenses weddings. His qualifications for childcare are unclear, other than being a Scientologist like Jett’s parents, John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Kathrein’s wife, Ana, is also a Scientologist. (Some Scientology critics believe the church forces gays and lesbians to stay in the closet and pursue heterosexual relationships, frequently citing Travolta and Preston’s marriage.)

Why the deference from TMZ, which is usually the standards-bearer of standards-lowering? Much remains mysterious about Jett Travolta’s tragic death — and impolite questions ought to be asked. Isn’t that what celebrity tabloids are good for?

Take the family’s unchallenged assertion that he suffered from Kawasaki disease, an immunological syndrome which causes painful inflammation, after exposure to carpet-cleaning chemicals, and that he died after hitting his head after suffering a related seizure. At least one doctor disputes the notion, saying that there’s no link between chemical exposure and Kawasaki disease and that it does not cause seizures.

Jett may have suffered instead from autism which went untreated, because of Travolta’s adherence to the cultlike religion of Scientology and the bizarre beliefs about mental illness that go with it. And if Travolta hired Kathrein for reasons other than the best interests of his child? That only makes it worse.

John Travolta’s Son Dies

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Friday, January 2, 2009

Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of actor John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston, died Friday while on vacation with his family in the Bahamas.

Jett had suffered a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, said Michael Ossi, a lawyer for the family, in a statement through Travolta’s rep.

The teen hit his head in a bathtub Friday morning and was declared dead at Rand Memorial Hospital, police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey told the Associated Press.

According to police, a caretaker had found Jett unconscious in the bathroom around 10 a.m. An autopsy is being pursued to determine the exact cause of death.

Jett, who is the only son of Travolta, 54, and Preston, 46, had a history of seizures, according to Ossi. The couple also have a daughter, Ella Bleu, 8.

The death was first reported by TMZ.

In 2003 Preston told Montel Williams that when Jett was 2 he became “very, very ill, but it seemed like flu symptoms” before being diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. The condition, which usually affects children from ages 2 to 5, can cause inflammation of the arteries. Usually treatable, it can lead to lasting heart damage in rare cases.

Preston, who also said Jett suffered from asthma, blamed household cleaners, fertilizers and pesticides for sparking the condition and lobbied for more detailed labeling on chemical products. She credited a detoxification program based on the writings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard with helping to improve Jett’s health.

In November Jett joined his dad in Paris, where Travolta has been shooting From Paris with Love. In 1994 the actor said how much he loved fatherhood.

“I can’t imagine what life would be like without Jett. After he was born and cleaned up, I held him for hours while Kelly slept. When they came to take him away for various tests, I said, ‘No, you can’t see him today. You’ll have to do it another day.’ I went a little nutsy.”

Truly a sad situation and something I wouldn’t wish on anybody. Our hearts go out to the Travolta family.

John Travolta Gay - Confirmed! Or Not?

Freddy @ Gone Hollywood  | Saturday, December 1, 2007

John Travolta is more gay than all the Village People put together, L.A. Rag reports. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

There’s a junkie Korean spa in Koreatown called Century Spa that no one knows about so it’s cheap and fantastic. It’s also a place that’s been overrun by a slew of gay men cruising for dick in the steam room and clay room.

When we went to get Lynn a body scrub and massage the two Korean women behind the counter were unusually giddy.

“You will never believe who here!”

“Who?” We asked eyes raised.

“Mr. John Travolta!” They exclaimed, exploding into giggles.

Now, why in the name of Liberace, would John Travolta be miles from his home in Korea Town at a men’s spa. For their amazing service? The gorgeous showers with broken tiles?

Once we saw John we instantly ran to our locker to try and take a picture of him, but it didn’t work so we have no proof. But we are telling you straight up our experience, we saw him there, and he was checking out Alex’s Middle Eastern feast in the showers.

This was the wrong thing to do, and we realize that now. We should have flirted with him until he laid his hands on us and we could’ve said, “Dude, I liked you in Hairspray and all, but I’m not like that!”

That would’ve been more hilarious than him in a fat suit.

John, look, no one goes to a Korean Spa unless they WANT to get caught. Stories about you cruising in the steam room have surfaced before so it’s not a surprise.If you come out as gay, then that just makes you that much better of an actor. You fooled the American public for years, and usually you have to be the president to do that.

That’s not exactly overwhelming evidence, is it? Some woman at some bath house saying she saw Travolta?

Still, people seem to believe it. One of the commenters says, “I hate to tell you but everyone has known Travolta was gay since like 2000. He’s like fucking Jodie Foster gay. He’s gayer than Tom Cruise. GAYGAYGAYGAY.” Now, you have to admit, that’s gay.

What others are saying:

• Defamer is playing coy: “What to make of this beyond the fact that Century offers some of the best spa services in the city at the most reasonable prices? Why, we’re certain we have no idea!”

• Glitterati Gossip calls the rumor “totally unsubstantiated” but points out “If he were gay, there’s every reason to believe he’d try to hide it, though. Scientology has moderated its stance on gays in recent years, but for many years classified homosexuality as a disease.”

• Queer Verve suggests: “Maybe Travolta was on a mission from Xenu to spread Gonorrhea Scientology to queers in dire need of a body scrub.”

Who knows for sure?

There have long been rumors about this. And photos of Travolta kissing other dudes only fuel the suspicion.

And this picture of John Travolta in leather doesn’t prove anything, either:

It sure does look funny, though.

Seriously, though, the man’s married to a beautiful woman and they have kids together. Does that mean he’s not gay? Not at all. Still, he should probably get the benefit of the doubt when he says he’s not.

No fair! Charlize, 31, is blessed with killer beauty and great gams – and he has an Oscar at home (for 2003’s Monster) to boot! The statuesque former model lights up the beach in Malibu while sporting a teeny-weeny print bikini.

Best All Around: Jessica Biel

It’s easy to see what attracted Justin Timberlake to his new love! The bootylicious ex-7th Heaven star, 23 – who was recently spotted visiting her new sweetie in London, where he’s launching his world tour – Is a vision in white while romping ton the beach in Hawaii!

Best Plus-Size: Queen Latifah

All hat the Queen! Her best accessory? Confidence! In a flattering black one piece, Latifah, 37, proves that (a bit) bigger can be a whole lot better while vacationing in Hawaii.

Best Curvy: Penelope Cruz

How do you say hubba-hubba-haubba in Spanish? The Madrid-born stunner, 33, is muy caliente in a dark one-piece suit while frolicking in the surf on the celeb-fave Caribbean isle of St. Bart’s.

Best Back from Bony: Kate Bosworth

Now that’s much better, Kate! After shocking fans with her skeletal fram last fall, the Superman Returns star, 24, is positively pinupworthy – and absolutely gorgeous! – in a flower-print bikini and trendy white shades while in Maui.

Best Soccer: David Beckham

The English soccer legend and admitted metrosexual, 32, proves that he’s the rare guy who can actually pull off a teeny Speedo-style swimsuit (unless of course, those are his undies!) Question: Did wife Posh have the privilege of oiling him up so nicely?

Best Bachelor: Andy Baldwin

The star of the Bachelor’s tenth season is a ripped-and-ready megahunk – no wonder so many women made fools of themselves on national TV! The 30-year-old licensed doctor and US Navy lieutenant is clearly a catch – in or out of uniform!

Best Morning Show: Matt Lauer

Their romance is on-again, then off-again, then – what do you know! – back on!

After more than 10 years of marriage and two children – and it’s rumored, a few cosmetic procedures a piece – Harry, 55, and Lisa, 43, are still one of the hottest couples on the beach in Malibu! We should all be sol lucky!

Finally Star reveals the Worst Beach Bods of 2007: Everyone out of the water! Scary sea creatures have washed up on shore!

Worst Saggy: Uma Thurman

Talk about letting it all hang out, well, down. We know the mom of two, 37, can afford a bikini top that offers a lot more support – and a lot less droop!

Worst Burnout: Courtney Love

Let this be a lesson: Years of not caring for your body make you look scary in a bikini! Also, if you get gastric-band surgery – as Love, 42, reportedly did – splurge for the additional procedure of tighten saggy skin!

Worst Secret Sagginess: Kate Hudson

Kate, 28, looks so perfect when she’s wearing clothing! But the actress and single mom’s plunging blue bikini revealed a surprisingly saggy tummy during a Hawaiian vacation.

Worst Man-Boob: John Travolta

Where have you gone, Tony Manero? The one-time Saturday Night Fever heartthrob, now 53, looks like he ate him! Even worse than that flabby tummy? Unsightly man boobs that look like they could use a bikini top!

Worst Bikini: Hulk Hogan

The former hard-bodied wrestling stud turned Hogan Knows Best patriarch, 53, has gone wrong in so many ways – not the least of which is squeezing himself into a neon-green slingshot suit that makes it touch to avoid noticing Hulk’s uh, hogans.

John Travolta - Casting Daughter in Next Movie

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Saturday, April 28, 2007

Devoted family man John Travolta is set to make his next movie a true family affair after having persuaded studio bosses to cast his seven-year-old daughter Ella Bleu and wife Kelly Preston alongside him in the upcoming Walt Disney comedy Old Dogs.

The 53-year-old Saturday Night Fever star was apparently keen to share the screen with Ella after seeing Will Smith’s young son Jaden join his dad in 2006 film The Pursuit of Happyness. It will be the first time John and Kelly have appeared together since they first met on the set of 1989 film The Experts.

Also joining the Travolta clan for the new flick is John’s old pal Robin Williams.

Old Dogs tells the story of two friends who find their lives turned upside down when they become the guardians of seven-year-old twin girls.

John Travolta Says He’s Famous as Elvis or Marilyn

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood  | Saturday, April 28, 2007

John Travolta says he’s as famous as Elvis or Marilyn but avoided early death thanks to Scientology.

John Travolta doesn’t suffer from lack of ego. The “Wild Hogs” star recently boasted that he was as big a star as Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe — but didn’t suffer the same fate as them because of his values and religion. “I have fame on the level of a Marilyn Monroe or an Elvis, but part of the reason I didn’t go the way they did was because of my beliefs,” Travolta told the Irish Independent.

The star went on to credit his sometimes controversial religion for the difference between his fate and theirs.
“People make judgments about it [Scientology], but often they don’t know what they’re talking about,” Travolta said. “I would advise anyone who wants to know about it to read up on it. We [the Church of Scientology] are only getting bigger and we help people all over the world, from disaster zones to drug rehabilitation.”

This was a dumb thing to say on a whole variety of levels. Travolta is indeed a big time star and has been since his national debut as Vinny Barbarino on the 1970s sitcom “Welcome Back Kotter” and his emergence as a movie star with “Saturday Night Fever” (1976) and “Grease” (1977). But he’s simply not the cultural icon that Elvis and Marilyn became. The backlash from claiming that level of superstardom dimishes his legitimate status as an A-list celeb.

Scientology strikes me as incredibly dumb. Still, Travolta, Tom Cruise, and a host of truly successful Hollywood stars who are practitioners have indeed managed to avoid the tailspin that so many of their cohorts have fallen into. If Scientology is the reason for that, more power to them.

If L. Ron Hubbard suggested that dorky hat, though, all bets are off.

John Travolta Nearly Escapes Death

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Wednesday, April 4, 2007

John Travolta was forced to make an emergency landing in Ireland on Monday, while piloting his private jet from Germany to New York.

The actor, who was jetting back to the US after promoting his new movie WILD HOGS in Germany, landed safely at Shannon Airport after his Boeing 707 suffered “technical difficulties” mid-flight. He was said to be unhurt but shaken by the dramatic incident. Nevertheless, the 53-year-old hired another plane and completed the journey, while his jet was grounded for repairs.

A source reveals, “If he hadn’t made it to Shannon, it could have been the end of him. You could tell that he was very relieved.”

A spokesman for Shannon Airport confirms, “John Travolta was diverted to Shannon due to technical difficulties.”
