Is Miley Cyrus being courted for Scientology?


Miley Cyrus had even more photos released last week showing her lifting her top to show her stomach and pouting at the camera. They were more of the same facebook-style photos of Miley, which have had less attention from the public than that backless Vanity Fair picture. That one picture somehow seemed to capture the premature sexualization and objectification of young teens in the media, and sparked a huge debate. Meanwhile Miley has scores of private photos that have been leaked which are much racier but not as well publicized.

Now Miley has struck up a friendship with John Travolta after they worked on the animated Disney film Bolt together. Travolta’s wife Kelly Preston told a reporter that her husband will possibly sing a duet with Miley. Cue the inevitable question that comes up when a celebrity gets to know John Travolta or Tom Cruise: Are they being groomed for the cult of Scientology? There is plenty of pressure on these celebrities to bring more famous people into the fold, so it’s a legitimate concern:

Miley Cyrus can still command a stadium-size crowd and raked in $18.2 million in 2007 along playing Disney’s Hannah Montana. So it’s not surprising that they 15-year-old has become a sought-after commodity for Scientology, and her pal John Travolta is the most likely person to do the recruiting!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, June 2, 2008]

Miley is young and impressionable, and you could see her falling for something like this, but her family are devout Christians. Miley even made a YouTube video talking about how she loved Jesus. Some insiders claim that Scientologists tell new recruits that you can be a member of their cult and still follow Christianity, Judaism, or any religion you prefer. This is contradicted by the teachings of founder L. Ron Hubbard and to the basic tenets of Scientology, which some Christians claim are anti-Christian and anti-Jesus.

You just hope Miley keeps Travolta and his family at arm’s length. His wife is trying to hype up their relationship with the young superstar, though, so it’s not that far of a stretch to think that they’re also trying to convert her and her family to the cult that has such a stronghold on them. Travolta converted his old “Grease” co-star Jeff Conaway to Scientology under the guise of helping him beat his drug addiction. They surely have a way of helping Miley with her singing, or maybe they have training to assist with her public image, since Cruise and Travolta have had so much success in that department since joining the cult.

Miley Cyrus is shown performing on 5/17/08 in East Rutherford, NJ, thanks to WENN. John Travolta is shown on 4/25/08 at a ceremony presenting Michael Eisner with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

John Travolta pushes Scientology to cure Jeff Conaway’s drug addiction

Thank goodness Scientology is around to cure all of society’s ills. Who needs a professional psychologist or addiction medicine expert to help you battle your increasingly debilitating drug addictions when Xenu can jiggle your brain juices around and spruce you right up? Jeff Conaway, star of such hits as “Grease,” “Taxi,” and more recently “Celebrity Rehab” has had quite the challenge sobering up on the reality show. In fact it’s been downright painful to watch him, and has served as a pretty brutal reminder why it’s a good idea to avoid drugs all together. Jeff was wheelchair-bound for much of the show, and suffered horrible convulsions. Most of his speech had to be subtitled for viewers, and it was nearly incomprehensible. He had to be admitted to the hospital for detox almost immediately. Unfortunately Jeff didn’t complete the program, and left after the seventh episode. Over the years he’s been a frequent patient of Dr. Drew Pinsky’s, the host of “Celebrity Rehab.” But apparently all Jeff really needed was a little help from Xenu’s brain-reading machines, because he claims Scientology has finally cured him.

Inside Edition sat down for an exclusive interview with former Taxi star Jeff Conaway, who says he has finally kicked his drug habit by practicing Scientology. According to Conaway, “I’ve been doing Scientology…my doctor was like, Holy cow, he says whatever you’ve been doing keep doing it because it’s really working.”

Conaway says his former Grease co-star John Travolta introduced him to the controversial religion. “John and I stayed friends but he couldn’t watch me going down the tubes…he gave me a whole library of Scientology books and he’s given me an auditor who comes almost every day.”

Conaway, who lost over 40 pounds while participating in VH1’s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, tells Inside Edition he can’t wait to get back in front of the camera. “I’m going to be strong and healthy and totally together. I’ve got to get ready for my Academy Award.”

[From Inside Edition]

Something tells me the doctor Conaway is referencing is not the good Dr. Drew – who I will admit I have a daddy-issue-based crush on, but I’m sure would spit in the face of Scientology regardless. It’s great that Conaway’s talking positively and expecting big things of himself, a la Academy Awards. But I seriously doubt something as illegitimate as Narconon (Scientology’s anti-drug program, which is named to make it sound legitimate – note that it’s “onon” not “anon” as in all the Alcoholics Anonymous-based programs) magically cured all of Conaway’s many complex addictions. The man was like a walking anti drug ad. Mostly because he literally couldn’t even walk. They should show clips of him to kids in the DARE program. As much as I’d champion anything that helps someone battle such life-destroying demons, let’s not be fooled into thinking drinking some barely water and popping some vitamins has cured the poor guy. Clearly he’s desperate for some kind of change, and that’s great. But it means it’s time to call up a good rehab facility, not John Travolta and Kirstie Alley.

Here is Jeff Conaway and his girlfriend Vikki Lizzi at the 18th Annual Night of 100 Stars Gala Viewing Party at the Beverly Hills Hotel on February 24th. Images thanks to PR Photos.

John Travolta and Kirstie Alley in Scientology indoctrination video

scientomogy.jpg
It just keeps getting better for Scientology. Last week a ton of videos came out of Tom Cruise spouting their in-terminology and laughing maniacally. The “church” tried to yank the videos off YouTube and wherever else they were hosted and every time they’d get rid of one, several others would pop up around the web. Fellow gossip site Gawker told the Scientology lawyers to go screw themselves and decided to personally host the videos despite a copyright claim, stating they were newsworthy and couldn’t be censored. Now The Sun has an unintentially humorous indoctrination video from the cult from over 10 years ago. It features John Travolta, Mimi Rogers, and Kirstie Alley proselytizing.

At the beginning the guy says: “If you leave this room after seeing this film and walk out and never mention Scientology again, you are perfectly free to do so. It would be stupid, but you can do it. You can also dive off a bridge or blow your brains out. That is your choice.” LOL!!

Here’s a transcript of the rest of the video that I typed up:

If you leave this room after seeing this film and walk out and never mention Scientology again, you are perfectly free to do so. It would be stupid, but you can do it. You can also dive off a bridge or blow your brains out. That is your choice.

But if you don’t walk out that way, if you continue with Scientology, we will be very happy with you, and you will be very happy with you.

- switch to Scientology store -
Lady in Scientology store: So I would recommend that you get this package to start.

Guy: Shouldn’t they also get a copy of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health?

Lady: Of course, then they’ll see the adventure of it, and they’re at liberty to buy any of these books, they’ll watch all of them sooner or later anyway.

- switch to office with two guys in suits -

Guy in office setting: Now these graphs are done before and after a person has received 12 and a half hours of auditing or what we call an intensive. These are personality traits, these are what they were before the person received auditing and these show how they were improved. Also the person’s IQ or intelligence increased, and he became 19 points smarter.

Another guy: Does that mean that psychology and Scientology are similar?

Original graph guy: oh no, but it shows you what happens when you address the spirit, not the brain. Even the theory of evolution has never proven that something else isn’t making it all happen. Psychology and psychiatry are proven failures. Stone age.

- Public office -
The success through communication course is the most popular. One learns how to handle others with communication alone. And there are sometimes special courses that can assist one to handle specific areas or problems in his life.

- back to original guy from the beginning -
You may well ask the question, “What are the advantages of Dianetics and Scientology for me?” So, let’s ask some people.

Mimi Rogers? Anne Archer (just labeled as “Actress” in video): Scientology did make me freer to express myself, but what it really did for me, was save my life, and made me feel for the first time the best at what I naturally am.

Kirstie Alley (just labeled “Actress”): To tell you the honest to God truth without Scientology I would be dead. So, I can personally highly recommend it.

John Travolta (just labeled “Actor”): Well basically, there’s no part of my life that Scientology hasn’t helped.

Another guy (Michael Roberts, not labeled): But whatever you do, remember that you’re always welcome in Scientology.

[Transcript of the video available on The Sun website and shown below]

Here’s the video. Is the last guy Isaac Hayes? I can’t really tell because he’s younger and I’ve never seen him talking on tape. Please let me know if you can help identify all the brainwashed celebrities at the end.

Update: The guy at the end is an actor named Michael Roberts, and I incorrectly identified Anne Archer as Mimi Rogers. Thanks to Critter, Geronimo and Poof for the help.

John Travolta Refuses to Sing With Olivia Newton-John


\Every year the Australian government holds a G’Day LA convention to promote Australia to Hollywood, and this year Kylie Minogue and Olivia Newton-John turned up. Three’s no chance of the sweet-natured Olivia turning down a request for a tune, and since John Travolta was in the audience she thought it was a good time to belt out a number from Grease.

They (Travolta and Newton-John) snuggled on the red carpet first, but it was widely tipped the real prize would come later: the two of them singing together for only the third time since they did so to some public acclaim in Grease 30 years ago. Newton-John hit some other high notes first, restricting herself, she said, to hits written or produced by compatriots: Magic (John Farrar); Physical, slowed to a bossa nova (Steve Kipner); Hopelessly Devoted to You (Farrar). The latter has rarely been sung with the subject of the devotion present, so the room was charged and ready for something special. The possibility came next with another Farrar tune, this one requiring a male partner.

“I’ve got chills, they’re multiplying,” it starts. But no Travolta. He stayed resolutely seated, ignoring shouts from the crowd to assume his rightful place - and leaving the bloke from Newton-John’s backing band who took on vocal duty for You’re The One That I Want to face a bunch of historic stage nerves, and a story beyond compare to tell the grandkids. The Grease reunion thus foiled, Newton-John then let rip with her traditional closer, I Honestly Love You. Peter Allen wrote it, she’s sung it a million times, yet this time she seemed to find something else in the ballad again. The room stopped; a falling pin would have seemed an explosion.

Sydney Morning Herald

Given all the negative publicity John Travolta’s Scientology friends are getting lately, you would think it was time to try and indulge in some good, clean fun. For the cameras, of course. But John Travolta just doesn’t know when to say yes.

He was happy to get up and speak, paying tribute to Kylie Minogue and her representation of Australia. I wasn’t sure what he was actually doing at the Australian event, but it seems he’s a goodwill ambassador for Australian airline Qantas.

In some nice news for Olivia Newton-John, she seems happy and is planning on getting married again. In 2005 Olivia’s long-term partner went missing at sea, amid mysterious circumstances. She’s is now dating Australian businessman John Easterling, and told Extra that he is the man she wants to marry. Hopefully the feeling is mutual Olivia, or you’ve just let him know in a less-than-subtle manner!

Note by Celebitchy: Despite not singing with Newton-John, People quotes Travolta as saying “We see each other a couple of times a year. I love seeing her. She’s awesome.” He is also said to have yelled “Olivia, I love you. I honestly love you” when he was on stage after her performance.

Travolta also defended his friend and fellow cult member Tom Cruise’s near-intelligible rant watched ’round the world saying “We all have the right to practice how we feel. It finally becomes unfair.” What’s unfair is that your personal brand of “religion” costs tens of thousands of dollars, separates people from their families, works hard to suppress any amount of exposure of their methodology, and uses slave labor camps for members that aren’t towing the line. Video of a person who seeks out publicity freaking out while using terminology previously unknown to the general public is fair game.

Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures of the G’Day USA Australia.com Black Tie Gala on 1/19/08, which took place in Hollywood, CA. Callista Flockhart and Harrison Ford, Kylie Minogue, Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna, Bindi and Terri Irwin. Olivia Newton John looks great - she’s 59!

John Travolta Dropped From Dallas Movie

travoltadropped.jpg
John Travolta has been dropped from the Dallas movie, after recently mentioning in an interview he had dropped out. It seems that he might not have left the film voluntarily.

“John was given a nice seven-figure ‘gift’ to go away quietly,” our source added. “He also got five family members roles in the movie, and they aren’t going to be in it now, either.”

A friend of Travolta confirmed, “He is not doing the movie. They’ve gone in a different direction than was originally intended. I don’t know about any ‘gift,’ and I don’t think the family member thing is correct.”

A rep for Travolta declined to comment.

NY Post

Were the Travolta family members cast in the film also given parting gifts? Or was he expected to share? Possibly the money is actually to prevent John Travolta from suing for breach of contract and loss of earnings.

John was set to play J.R. Ewing in the film, and the word on the street is that Ben Stiller will replace him. Stiller’s reps have denied that he was offered the part.

Previously dropped from the cast were Shirley MacLaine, Jennifer Lopez and Luke Wilson, and director Robert Luketic was replaced with Gurinder Chadha. This was amid rumours of budget cuts, which is possibly why John Travolta and the other big name actors were dropped. Page Six also suggests that the film is going to be a behind-the-scenes style comedy like Bewitched, so perhaps the fired cast have dodged a bullet.

While being fired from a film is probably not the best feeling, this week John Travolta had a party in his honor celebrating his role in Hairspray, and he was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical or Comedy.

His next role will be in a remake of The Taking of Pelham 123, with him playing the bad guy to Denzel Washington’s good guy. Travolta plays such a great bad guy, so creepy and evil, that I might even go and see this. Actually, I’ll probably go to see it and be drawn in by a romantic comedy, but I’ll tell people “I almost saw that.” Even the most evil villain can’t compete with a movie that ends with a wedding and people eating cake. Particularly if it stars Julia Roberts. I’d love to see a romantic comedy where Julia Roberts falls in love with an evil John Travolta and makes him good, then they get married at the end. A great sequel would be if they had an evil child who was made good by their dog, possibly voiced by Tim Allen.

Kelly Preston knew she’d marry John Travolta after seeing “Grease” posters

jtm-028790.jpg

Those wacky Scientologists are so funny. One of their mouthpieces, Kelly Preston, is telling Starpulse that she knew she’d marry John Travolta after she saw a picture of him on a “Grease” poster. She didn’t exactly end up with Travolta right away – she was engaged to Charlie Sheen but broke up with him after he accidentally shot her in the arm, and was married to actor Kevin Gage from 1986 – 1988.

“Actress Kelly Preston knew she was destined to marry John Travolta after she saw her future husband on a poster for Grease as a teenage girl. The 44-year-old Twins star, who has been married to Travolta for 16 years, was leaving a cinema in the late 1970s when she was struck by the actor’s poster look.

“She says, ‘I did have sort of a flash. I came out of a film, saw the poster for Grease and I knew I’d be with him. I just knew. I was about 16 years old. I really knew it and it turned into, ‘I’m going to marry that man,’ and so he likes to tease me that I walked out and said, ‘I’m going to marry that man,’ and then did, ultimately.’”

[From Starpulse]

Talk about the power of positive thought. I had a dream last night that I fell in love with Luke Wilson, and it was kind of flash-like, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to marry him now, based on the Kelly Preston theory of love. Travolta has recently stated that he and Kelly are going to try to have another child when they’re done filming their movie.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston are planning to extend their family - before it’s too late.

The couple are currently working on new movie Old Dogs, which they both star in. When that’s wrapped the pair will start trying for a sibling for son Jett, 15, and eight year old daughter Ella.

Travolta, 53, says, “Once we finish our new movie, we’re going to get cracking. Kelly is 44 now. The window for us to have a child, at least naturally, is closing.”

[From China Daily]

I hope he meant to say another child, not a child, since they already have two – though by most accounts, they mostly ignore their oldest child, Jett, who has autism. Apparently Scientology and autism don’t mix – our original article noted, “Autistics in Scientology are usually known as ‘degraded beings’ who brought the affliction on themselves. Kelly Preston has gone as far as saying in the past that Jett suffers from Kawasaki Syndrome like disease because of ‘environmental toxins’, with Jett reacting badly specifically to carpet cleaning chemicals.” But apparently Preston is an expert on how to treat other disorders – specifically addiction. She has opened a Scientology-based rehab facility in her native Hawaii.

“John Travolta’s wife Kelly Preston has opened a new Scientology rehab center on her native Hawaii. The new drug rehabilitation clinic, which follows the principals of Preston’s religion, will use tried and tested alternative methods to ween addicts off painkillers and hard drugs.

“Preston, who was born on and brought up in Honolulu, Oahu, says, ‘I’m convinced this rehab center works.’”

[From Starpulse]

Well thank goodness we have Kelly Preston around to teach us all how to live better by denying out basic psychological makeup.

Isabella and Connor Cruise are away at brainwash camp


You know how you used to see photos of Tom Cruise’s kids, Isabella and Connor, all the time before baby Suri made her triumphant but long overdue debut? Tom and Katie seemed to be attending a sports game for one of the preteens every week, but now like they’ve been missing for months.

Isabella dyed her hair blue the minute she was down in Australia visiting her mom Nicole Kidman, but that was back in May. Connor hasn’t really been seen much either.

According to Star Magazine, Tom Cruise’s other kids are away at Scientology camp learning how to be good little cult members who don’t question authority:

As Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their 15-month-old cutie Suri were snapped romping around Berlin in between his filming the World War II drama, Valkyrie, noticeably absent from these family outings were daughter Isabella, 14, and son Connor, 12. Nor were the two with mom Nicole Kidman, who is currently in Australia filming her own WWII epic. So where have the Cruise kids been all summer? Star has learned that the youngsters are in Oregon, at a camp 60 miles south of Portland run by the Church of Scientology! “The summer camp is part of the Scientology’s ‘get them while they’re young’ campaign,” a source who attended the camp tells Star. “While they will be enjoying horseback riding, swimming and all kinds of fun activities, some of their day is devoted to Scientology coursework.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, September 3, 2007]

Oh so that’s why the Cruise kids have been discarded like last season’s PR tactic - they needed to get their personality chips reset! Just send ‘em to camp for another round of coercion and they’ll come out smiling and ready to pose for more paparazzi pictures.

Just you wait, little Suri, your free will is next.

While I was doing the research for this post I found an interesting article from nearly 10 years ago posted on Factnet.org. They interviewed a guy who was second in command of Scientology and left to reveal their secrets. He talked about how celebrities are paid to endorse Scientology and the tactics that are used to make sure they don’t leave the fold or criticize the cult. They blackmail people, put extreme psychological pressure on them, and will hound anyone high profile who dares to leave. Scientology arranged Cruise’s divorce from his first wife, Mimi Rogers, and made sure he remained under their influence afterwards.

Celebrities are constantly monitored and judged to make sure that they don’t leave the cult or question its practices. Anyone that dares to do so is subject to extreme harassment and exposure of all the secrets collected about them by the cult, which can potentially end their careers. John Travolta supposed wanted to leave when he met a guy he fell in love with, but the head of the cult, John Miscavige put the kibosh on that and made sure that his people were around to pressure Travolta to give up his relationship and marry fellow Scientologist Kelly Preston instead.

It’s one thing for people like Cruise and Travolta to be figureheads for the money-making soul-sucking cult masquerading as a religion. It’s another for their kids to be forced to join before they have a chance to learn about life.

John Travolta sues the airport next door


John Travolta local airport won’t let him land one of his massive airplanes there anymore, and the female-impersonating actor is suing mad. Travolta lives in an $8 million dollar home in the ultra-exclusive Jumbolair Aviation Estates in Ocala, Florida. The owners of the local airport say they can no longer accommodate Travolta’s Boeing 707, a four-engine Qantas commercial passenger jet. Travolta says that he has used the runway neighboring his home without problems, and he built his home there six years ago because he was assured that he could use the airport.

The part-time pilot [Travolta] alleges that Greystone owners James and Christine Garemore doctored the airport master record to prevent Travolta from landing his jet and to ‘wreak financial harm’ on Jumbolair by forcing a lawsuit against the complex owners.

“Mr. Travolta has been severely mistreated as a consequence of these acts and intends to vigorously pursue all appropriate legal recourse against these responsible parties,” the former Oscar nominee’s attorney, Michael Ossi, said in a statement.

The plaintiffs are also requesting that the Garemores’ report, which states that heavier planes ‘may cause immediate structural damage,’ be withdrawn to prevent ‘future baseless filings,’ because it provided false, misleading info to the Federal Aviation Administration.”

[From E! Online]

Apparently when the runway was built, it could accommodate the owner’s 707, which was used infrequently. However Travolta uses his 707 quite often and the runway has deteriorated. The runway owners claim that it’s no longer safe. Travolta’s lawyers never state why the owners would have an erroneous report filed just to make sure he couldn’t use their runway. Why in the world would they do that and lose all his business for no good reason? It doesn’t make sense. It sounds to me like Travolta’s just mad that he can’t land his jet next door - and yes, I do mean next door. Here’s a little information about the Jumbolair Aviation Estates, from their website.

You have just concluded a business meeting in Chicago. You promised your son you would be home in time for his game, but you live in Florida. No problem, your private plane is fueled and ready for takeoff. In a few hours you will be landing in your own back yard and pulling your plane into the hangar attached to your home. You are one of a fortunate few who live at Jumbolair Aviation Estates, home of the worlds largest, FAA licensed, lighted and paved, private airport.

Unlike most fly-in communities, Jumbolair home sites have separate roads and taxiways, so when you are taxiing, you won’t have an accidental meeting with a repairman’s truck. Jumbolair, a private, gated community will exceed your expectations with its abundant natural beauty.

[From Jumbolair Aviation Estates website]

Thank goodness someone had the foresight to reach out to this massively underserved market and create a neighborhood with private taxiways and roads. The other day I was taxiing my airplane home, and I nearly hit an ice cream truck. If only I lived in John Travolta’s neighborhood, that never would have happened, and that Creamsicle would still be alive today. Seriously, John Travolta, you must chill! It sounds like these people are just trying to make sure your plane doesn’t crash. Stop getting mad at them. Take one of your 10 other smaller planes when you fly to the grocery store. If you have so much stuff, then just make two trips.

John Travolta plays a woman really, really well


John Travolta is starring in the remake of “Hairspray,” which opens this Friday. This is his first musical since “Grease” in 1978… and Travolta looks nearly the same. Except that he’s thirty years older and one hundred pounds heavier. And has breasts. So he’s a fat old woman. He plays agoraphobic mother Edna Turnblad, played by transvestite Divine in the original film and Harvey Fierstein in the Broadway version. Apparently Travolta had some serious complaints about the wardrobe… but the fat suit, breasts, and dresses were not the problem.

John Travolta knows a lot about women’s footwear. In fact, when he talks about the shoes he wore in the new movie Hairspray, Travolta reveals more than knowledge - he betrays a sense of passion for the world of footwear fashion.

“It was tough dancing in high heels, but we did change the heels to more of a dance shoe - like a Capezio,” said Travolta during a recent press engagement for the movie, which hits theatres Friday.

“You know, they kept giving me these skinny high heels and it’s, like, ‘OK, I understand those. My mother wore those.’ However, when I was growing up and I saw girls in the chorus, they had a thicker heel and it was a dance shoe and I kept telling them to find these shoes. I knew they existed, and finally, they brought out a shoe and I said, ‘That’s the shoe! Now make it in many colors.’”

[From the Halifax Daily News]

travolta2.jpgI can imagine it’d be pretty hard to dance well on a thin heel, especially wearing a lot of extra padding. Back in the day I used to tap dance, and it can be a challenge even on a sturdy Capezio shoe. That’s right, I’m hardcore like that. So don’t mess. It’s kind of funny that John Travolta has such an interest in shoes. I’m just saying. Travolta also talked about what it was like to be a woman. “’I was so flirted with, so groped,” he said. “I was convinced I’d have been a slut had I been born a woman. It was like, ‘Go ahead, touch me. I don’t care.’” He also told the New York Daily News “’I love big boobs on a woman… so I wanted Edna to have them. My boobs and butt got a lot of attention on the set. The whole crew kept coming over and groping me. The scary thing is, I liked it.’”

The gay rumors have followed John Travolta around throughout the last few years almost as diligently as they’ve followed Tom Cruise. Travolta just doesn’t seem to sue over them as often. There were a few photos of him kissing a man on the mouth as he boarded a plane a few months ago… but who are we to judge? Women do that and it’s considered fine, so I’m not going to use that as evidence. I’m just saying he’s a friendly fellow. And he has his own plane, so I don’t want to ruin my plan to become his best friend and steal his plane by saying anything defamatory. Anyhoo, I know they said Travolta wore a fat suit, but anyone who has seen him lately probably wonders just how much padding he was really wearing versus how much was natural. I’m sure he was just really getting into character. And there’s no better way to do that than to eat a lot of bacon. Can you imagine if we all had to eat bacon for our jobs? That’s a pretty sweet deal.

I am so excited for “Hairspray.” I’ve been trying to bring musicals back since I first saw the “Sound of Music” as a kid. It seems like my efforts have finally been rewarded, and musicals are here to stay… for now. Ever since Moulin Rouge (I think that was the first recent one, correct me if I’m wrong) brought singing and dancing back into style, there’s been no stopping those buffalo-flapping dancers from breaking out in the movies. I think that dance fashion should take off, just like aerobic fashion took off in the ‘80s. Who doesn’t want to have shoes that click, bright lipstick, and sequined clothing?

Picture note by Celebitchy: Here are photos from the movie Hairspray, thanks to Allmoviephoto. John Travolta does make a fabulous woman. Also shown are Allison Janney, Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, Queen Latifah, Zac Efron, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Marsden, Christopher Walken, Brittany Snow, Elijah Kelley, Taylor Parks, Tabitha Lupien, Hayley Podschun, and Kelly Fletcher.

Now J.Lo is pregnant again


Jennifer Lopez is supposedly pregnant, and this time it sounds like more than a rumor. Former American Idol star Jesse McCartney, who is said to be a friend of Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony, let the news slip during a radio station interview:

Former “American Idol” star Jess McCartney accidentally blabbed the news that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant during an interview with an Atlanta radio station yesterday.

Jennifer recently stopped filming for her new movie “Dallas,” and when McCartney was asked if it was possibly because she was fired, he responded, “She didn’t get fired. She’s pregnant.” Jess McCartney is (or maybe I should say was) a close friend of the couple so it seems to be a credible source.

People think J.Lo is pregnant every few months, so this doesn’t seem substantial until she’s showing or it’s officially confirmed. There haven’t been many candids of J.Lo recently, but that only means she hasn’t been hitting the paparazzi spots or going to high profile events. She is due to attend the Toronto Film Festival next month, so we’ll have to scope out the pictures to see if she has a bump.

Meanwhile a British rag claims that J.Lo didn’t quit “Dallas” - she was fired because John Travolta can’t stand her:

An insider on the movie set says John Travolta is the real reason behind Jennifer Lopez’s sudden departure from the movie version of Dallas. Previous reports originating from around the Lopez camp had suggested the film’s script wasn’t up to scratch. However, a set insider told the Daily Mail: “From the moment Jennifer’s name was attached, Travolta went ballistic.” “It’s been said that Jennifer didn’t like the script, but the truth is John doesn’t rate her as an actress and quite simply felt she was not up to part of Sue Ellen.”

If this is true, and I doubt it, Travolta might be so vehemently against J.Lo because she rejected his freaky cult religion, Scientology. Remember all those pictures of J.Lo out shopping with Leah Remini? She undoubtedly tried to convert her to Scientology, and I bet Catholic J.Lo wasn’t having it.

Besides, it was said that J.Lo quit “Dallas” because the production was sinking fast and she thought Travolta wasn’t up to par as a leading man. He may have heard that she didn’t want to star in with him, and leaked the news that it was his decision, not hers. It’s classic.

Here’s an ad for Lopez’ new “Luxe” fragrance line. Some horny art director made an unappreciated designer spend a lot of time getting her to look just naked enough to make allergy-aggravating cheap perfume look sexy. I wonder if her areolas are really this big. Hey - big nipples are a sign of pregnancy, or heartbreakingly ineffective ongoing fertility treatment.
