Last year, CB did a lot of coverage on Kristie Alley’s “weight loss program” called Organic Liaison. According to CB and an overwhelming majority of people who can read, Organic Liaison is pretty much a Church of Scientology front in which people are overcharged for what amounts to vitamin supplements, and then the “program” attempts to indoctrinate the people in the cult of Scientology. The evidence is pretty straight-forward – Organic Liaison’s billing address is the same Florida address of CoS’s accountant, and the language used on the Organic Liaison website is pretty much the language of Xenu. You too can lose weight if you don’t mind being audited by someone holding a pair of lifts and a tin can. But although it’s a pretty straight-forward connection, Kirstie Alley still denied it and when questioned about the connection, she claimed her interrogators were “bigots.”

Anyway, Organic Liaison has a new spokeswoman, and it’s Xenu’s favorite beard, Kelly Preston. Kelly credits Organic Liaison for helping her shed the weight she gained while pregnant with her son Ben. Xenu’s vitamin supplements… and tennis.

When Kelly Preston gave birth to her son Benjamin Travolta a year ago, she knew losing the baby weight wouldn’t be easy.

“When I got pregnant at 48, I didn’t know if my body would bounce back,” the actress tells PEOPLE.

Turns out, Preston had no need to worry. Not only did she shed the baby weight, but over the past year she’s dipped below her pre-pregnancy weight – and is relishing a new figure and renewed vitality as she approaches the mid-century mark.

“I lost 39 lbs., have more energy than I had 20 years ago – and I feel amazing,” Preston says. “I’m going to be turning 50 next year – holy s–––! Hey, 50 is the new 30.”

So besides tennis and keeping up with an active baby, what’s her secret? The Organic Liaison weight-loss program created by Preston and John Travolta’s close friend Kirstie Alley, who cleared her own hurdle this summer when she dropped 100 lbs.

“I was so excited when my best friend created Rescue Me,” says Preston of the diet plan’s organic supplement system that targets cravings and “boosts natural energy,” according to the Organic Liaison website.

“It’s pretty much the most genius thing ever,” says Preston, who recently signed on as the weight-loss system’s spokesperson.

But a rocking a new body is not the only cause for joy in the Travolta household.

“We just celebrated Ben’s first birthday,” she says. “I can’t believe it’s already been a year.”

Vitamins and Xenu = “pretty much the most genius thing ever”??? I give up. I mean, good for Kelly Preston for losing the weight and doing it in a somewhat healthy way – I guess. Vitamins, tennis and Xenu is healthier than coke, cigarettes and an eating disorder, right? RIGHT?!? But… considering Kirstie is so delusional about her size and her weight, what does any of this even matter? Kirstie can’t even get any of her numbers right. Who’s to say Kelly has gotten her “39 pounds” number correct?

I can’t wait for Kirstie to come up with a line of Xenu-approved wiglets so John Travolta can become the spokesman for something.

Kelly Preston covers the September issue of Health Magazine – she actually got two covers, one with her son Ben, and one solo. Guess what she talks about in the interview? Her husband’s refrigerated wig room? Her husband’s (ALLEGED) penchant for swarthy dong? How her husband hits on young waiters in front of her? Of course not. She talks about Scientology, of course. And how it’s so great for her.

Two years ago, Kelly Preston was struggling to make sense of the sudden death of her 16-year-old son Jett, who lost his life due to a seizure in January 2009.

The actress, now 48, credits her religion for getting her through the toughest period of her life. “To be honest, [it was] the Scientology Center,” Preston tells Health magazine’s September issue. “I don’t know if I would have made it through without it.”

(Preston and her husband, John Travolta, have been Scientologists for more than two decades.)

The experience taught Preston a valuable lesson. “Don’t sweat the small things. Love your kids like it could be the last moment.”

After a painful two years, the family (including daughter Ella Bleu, 11) finally received some happy news when baby Benjamin Hunter Kaleo was born in November 2010.

“We [had been trying] for quite a few years,” Preston tells Health. “When I found out I was pregnant, I was floored. I’d snuck out of bed and then came back and woke Johnny up in bed. We both started crying. It was wonderful.”

Motherhood, Preston says, is the single most important role she’s ever tackled. “I’ve always wanted to be a mother, ever since I was 11. I was doing commercials for thousands of dollars, but I’d still babysit for $3 an hour just because I loved it.”

On her surreal life with John Travolta: “I’ll be sitting there [in our Florida home] doing something really normal with the kids and then all of a sudden I hear, ‘Whoosh!’ and see the lights of the airplane and he’s like, ‘Honey, I’m home!’”

[From INO and Us Weekly]

Did anyone else stop and reread this quote a few times? “When I found out I was pregnant, I was floored. I’d snuck out of bed and then came back and woke Johnny up in bed. We both started crying. It was wonderful.” She had snuck out of bed – presumably at night? – to find out that she was pregnant, and she came back to bed – where her husband was sleeping, because they totally sleep in the same room, right? – to tell her husband that they were pregnant. Like, how did she find out she was pregnant in the middle of the night? Did she take a home pregnancy test while John slept? That’s too easy. It has to be something involving a Rosemary’s Baby situation (Xenu’s Baby), swarthy mystery dong and barley water.

These are new photos of John Travolta, Kelly Preston and their baby Ben, all in Paris over the weekend, presumably for a little Father’s Day vacation. Ordinarily, I might not care, but I haven’t seen photos of Ben since he was a newborn, and I enjoy seeing the little guy. Ben didn’t get John’s striking coloring, did he? I guess Ben is going to end up fair, like his mom. Sure. I’m also having some sock-lust with baby Ben – I absolutely love his itty-bitty striped socks here:

How cute are they?!? I want the socks. Y’all can have the baby, I’m over here having a moment with the socks.

Anyway, before they set off for Paris, John did an interview with Extra and he discussed the state of his marriage and how Scientology brings the closer together: “Communication is number one, but our church does a lot to help us keep together. When we have issues, we go settle it up. Almost every six months we go and do a retrofit of what we are thinking, what we need and want and we match it up with what the other needs and wants… If you don’t do that you kind of get stale a little bit. Certainly our children have kept us tied together.” I wish I was making these quotes up. My take is that John truly loves Kelly (I believe it), BUT he also loves dong. And it’s a deep love, and if it weren’t for Scientology, the love of dong might win out. That’s my “translation”.

John also discussed baby Ben: “Oh my gosh he’s amazing. He is so bright, cute, healthy and wonderful. He has a smile for everybody, he brightens everybody’s day. He’s quite a baby. He’s starting to crawl, he’s just wonderful.” Ben is a little cutie.

This was a cute little story in the National Enquirer this week which was supported by some comments that Travolta made about his love of shopping at the ubiquitous discount chain Walmart. Travolta enjoys getting bargains and he even recently enthused about how he enjoys buying people presents, particularly clothes, from Walmart. Travolta says that his family (presumably his wife and their 10 year-old daughter) love the dresses he bought for them. So this means Travolta is buying dresses for his women at Walmart. This seems strange to me for a few reasons, but it also cracks me up.

“John has no problem dropping millions on private jets and fabulous vacations for his wife and kids, but that doesn’t mean he won’t try to save a buck when he can,” an insider told The Enquirer.

“He’s a regular at the local Walmart near his Ocala, FL mansion. Not only does he buy his clothes there, but he even buys gifts for his family.

“John’s extended family cracks up on holidays because they know their presents will come from Walmart or Target. And they actually think it’s adorable because he tries so hard to find the perfect gift.”

Travolta explained to a reporter: “As far as Walmart’s concerned, you can get Christmas presents that are just unbelievable. I bought some of my family dresses from Walmart, and it was their favorite clothing.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, May 16, 2011]

That’s so funny! This strikes me as one of those occasions where the giver, particularly a guy, is way more enthusiastic about the present than the receiver, but it’s still a nice gesture. It doesn’t matter how much the stuff costs, it’s the thought that counts. This kind of humanizes Travolta for me. You can tell he gets a thrill out of buying dresses.

A lot of you have told me that you avoid Walmart because it’s this huge chain that pushes out local businesses that can’t compete and forces suppliers to lower prices to survive. I get that, and I do feel some guilt when I shop there. When it’s the only place in town you can get an item you’re kind of stuck. Also, the bargains can be really good there and it’s hard to resist. I haven’t had great luck with everyday clothes at Walmart although I have found some decent workout gear, t-shirts and sleepwear there. Target has nicer clothes but the cut and quality has been off for some of the stuff I’ve found there and I would rather shop at a discount supplier like TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

Although Kelly Preston recently gave birth to a new son, that still doesn’t change the fact that she’s a complete Scientology whackjob. Further, she’s a whackjob who can’t seem to land any new acting roles on her own and without the help of husband John Travolta, with whom she’s appeared in the last few years in both Old Dogs and From Paris with Love (in the very prestigious uncredited role of “Woman on Eiffel tower”). Now, she’s joined John again (as well as cracked-out Linnocent) to play his onscreen wife:

The upcoming John Gotti biopic is becoming a real family affair.

Actress Kelly Preston has been cast to play the Dapper Don’s wife Victoria DiGiorgio, opposite her real life husband John Travolta.

And the couple’s 11-year-old daughter Ella Bleu will play their on-screen daughter Angel.

“We’re really excited to have Kelly on board. We are friends with the Travoltas, and they have great chemistry. It will be great onscreen. It’s a very tender relationship in the screenplay,” producer Marc Fiore told the Daily News.

The Travolta clan will be joined by 12-stepping starlet Lindsay Lohan who’s set to play Kim Gotti, the wife of mob scion John (Junior) Gotti.

“I think she’s going to rock the part. She’s going to impress a lot of people,” Fiore said of Lohan, who is embroiled in a jewelry theft case.

Producers have yet to cast the roles of John Jr. and his blonde bombshell sister, Victoria.

The flick, titled Gotti: Three Generations, is slated to begin filming in New York in January and hit theaters in late 2012.

[From NY Daily News]

Other than Travolta (who isn’t all that lately himself), this entire cast is shaping up to be one hell of a joke, and now John and Kelly are dragging Ella Bleu in the “family business” too. Honestly, this movie seems better suited for a Lifetime release than in actual theaters, right? It would have been more interesting if the script wasn’t entirely Gotti approved, but now it’s pretty obvious that the whole family story will be completely whitewashed and ultimately uninteresting too.

Don’t ask me what the hell Kelly Preston is wearing. I don’t know. These are days-old photos of Kelly at an event for TV Land or something (whatever). But we have new photos of Kelly too (at the bottom of the post) – she was actually with John Travolta for the big Gotti press conference yesterday. I worry about Kelly, I really do. Even though I was wrong about Kelly’s pregnancy (I thought it was a pillow baby), I’m still worried about the deal she makes every day with the devil. I was looking through these photos of her and I just felt a pang for her – to my eyes, she looks kind of out-of-it and dazed, like… “oh, that‘s my husband, playing grab-ass with a Gotti.” Anyway, Kelly has a new little interview with People Magazine where she talks about working out and breastfeeding and stuff:

Kelly Preston hasn’t been afraid to step out on the red carpet since delivering son Benjamin Hunter Kaleo in November, but that doesn’t mean she’s stressing out about losing the baby weight.

“I haven’t been working out. At all,” she told PEOPLE at the TV Land Awards in N.Y.C. on Sunday, where her husband John Travolta was honored along with the rest of the Welcome Back, Kotter cast. (The show airs April 17 at 9 p.m. EST on TV Land.)

“Maybe that’s the secret. Don’t stress about it!”

But Preston, 48, does give credit where it’s due. “I’ve been lucky because I’ve been breastfeeding so that’s really helped me lose the weight,” she says. “That really is the secret.”

And for now, workouts are going to have to wait.

“It certainly would be better if I started to exercise, but I had a c-section so my stomach muscles weren’t very strong,” she confesses. “I wanted to do some dance classes but it was a little too much. I was down for the count!”

[From People]

There are also some new photos of Kelly with baby Ben a few days ago – go here to see them. Ben takes after his mom more than his… dad? Sure. While Jett and Ella had/have Travolta’s coloring, Ben does not. Interesting, isn’t it?

Also, I could go my whole life without hearing Kelly talk about her C-section ever again. Ugh. Oh, and John’s got a new toupee! It’s so fancy! Seriously, though, he could afford a much more… realistic-looking piece, right? This one must be his “Gotti Grab-Ass” piece:

There are two stories in the National Enquirer this week about the Travoltas. The first is that Kelly Preston, who just “gave birth”* at the age of 48 to her third child in November, wants another baby supposedly. This story sounds like either a fabrication or wishful thinking. It’s hard for me to consider the Travoltas in any kind of normal context (i.e. they want another child like a regular couple) without thinking of the batsh*t comments that Kelly gave in an interview in January. She and John are Scientologists, and the nonsensical drivel she spouted on The Today Show kind of brought it home for me how brainwashed she is, and how there might be something to those rumors that she’s a beard for John. She just doesn’t seem all “there” which can happen when people are reprogrammed.

Anyway I do feel a lot of sympathy for the Travoltas after they lost their 16 year-old son, Jett, when he suffered a head injury following a seizure two years ago. They’ve been through so much, and John started a foundation in Jett’s honor following his death. According to public records the foundation has only raised a paltry $39,350 in donations in two years, and has only given out around $29,200 in grants. It sounds like Travolta started the foundation and forgot all about it, because he probably makes more than that for one appearance.

The Jett Travolta Foundation is getting flack for raising just $39,530 in the two years and three months since Jett’s heartbreaking death, the Eqnuirer was learned.

The Foundation was started after [Kelly and John's] 16 year-old son Jett died on January 2, 2009, following a seizure during a family getaway to Grand Bahama Island.

The actor reluctantly admitted the teen had been battling autism – even though that condition is not recognized by his Scientology church.

The Travoltas’ tax exempt organization in Jett’s honor is supposed to provide assistance to children in need. But shockingly, only $28,000 has been given in grants – plus a donation of $1,200 to a child described as having “medical needs.”

With all of the star’s wealthy friends, critics are wondering why more money hasn’t been raised.

“John can spend $40,000 on fuel for his private jet in a weekend or two,” a source told The Enquirer. “For the Jett Travolta Foundation to raise so little money in over two years is a complete joke.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 4, 2011]

As the Enquirer notes, Scientology doesn’t recognize autism at all and it took until Jett’s death for John to acknowledge his son’s medical condition. The Travoltas’ richest friends, like Tom Cruise, Lisa Marie Presley, and Kirstie Alley, are all Scientologists and they’re not about to give money to a foundation that could promote “psychiatry” in any way. (See this Wiki article for background.) Travolta is probably conflicted about helping this charity he founded as well, in that he wants to honor his son but has been taught by his cult that psychiatric medication and psychology are to be opposed at all costs. Scientologists believe that their quack methods are the only way to address any kind of “psychiatric” problem, and it’s unclear what they believe falls under that umbrella. John probably realizes that Scientology failed in his late son’s case and it may eat him up inside. He’s never going to talk about it, though.

Alternate explanations could be that the foundation is a front for Scientology, and that they plan to help and “support” kids by trying to indoctrinate them. It could also be the case that John funnels all his extra money into the cult and was told by higher ups not to donate to his own “psych-promoting” charity. (See the video in this post for the lengths Scientologists go to in order to oppose psychiatry. Around 1:45, head David Miscavige talks about breaking “the dark spell cast across earth by psychiatry.”)

*I put that in quotes about Kelly giving birth because there’s doubt surrounding whether she had the baby herself. I think she did give birth, as I explained in this post.

John Travolta is shown on 2/5/11 at the Goldene Kamera awards in Berlin. Why can’t he just ditch the weave already? Credit: WENN.com

This photo is from 2008. You can see the photos we’re referring to here

John Travolta and Kelly Preston were photographed out together in Hawaii on vacation with their daughter, Ella. (You can see the pictures here.) These photos are notable because John’s natural balding hairline is seen, as opposed to the weave and Ronco spray-on hair he usually sports, and because Kelly looks very much like a woman who just gave birth three months ago.

Now, I didn’t have a big post-baby tummy like that three months afterwards but when I had my son I was 31, not 48. You bounce back quicker from childbirth I’m sure when you’re talking about that much of an age difference. For all of the people who will inevitably bring up the conspiracy theories that Kelly used a surrogate and faked her pregnancy and is just using the “five month” bump for these bathing suit photo ops – that’s possible but look at her boobs. Those are big heavy real-looking new mom boobs, they’re not surgically enhanced. She just has relatively thin-looking arms and a thin-looking face and that’s why she didn’t look pregnant to a lot of us who got heavy with our pregnancies. (Like me, I will cop to it.) We all carry differently and I buy her story that she carried her last one. That doesn’t make her husband straight or make her even slightly more sane, though.

I also have to say that if Travolta would ditch that weird tuft thing that’s growing in the middle of his scalp and just shave his damn head he’d look so much better. Still not even remotely hittable, but better. We know he looks decent bald, and he should just embrace the look. Maybe it’s just not his style. Jonathan Rhys Meyers thinks it’s hot though.

Noted hetersexual John Travolta has a reputation for loving dark, swarthy, young, nubile men, preferably in spas. In fact, the idea of John’s unyielding love of these sweaty, lithe, vaguely ethnic man-biscuits was so powerful, that I thought he only really “enjoyed himself” (allegedly) in spas, and he only really picked up men in spas. But no! Travolta is not ONLY about the spa dong. He also has a taste for waiter dong, at least according to The National Enquirer (a tabloid on the forefront of all things spa dong-related).

Awkward moment at a San Fernando Valley China bistro when John Travolta acted just a wee bit too interested in handsome mid-20ish waiter – and embarrassed wife Kelly Preston kept her head buried in the menu!

My SpyWitness reports that when John learned his studly server was an aspiring actor, he asked what projects he’d worked on, who represented him, etc. – and then flashed that award-winning smily and asked: “Could you give me your phone number? I might be able to help you out.”

Just a wee bit creeped, the waiter handed Travolta a pen and they chatted a good 10 minutes as the star jotted his info and promised to phone – wile Kelly’s nose stayed totally glued to the menu. Said my source: “The waiter told me it really bothered him that Kelly never even looked up at him – not once!”

[From Mike Walker’s gossip column in The National Enquirer]

Kelly didn’t look up because she’s seen it all before, and how. She probably wrote the waiter her own little note: “You’re not the first waiter dong, and you won’t be the last. Just close your eyes and think of Xenu.”

But yes, I totally believe this. I believe this is Travolta’s player game. He picks up pretty-boy waiters in front of his wife and he hands out his phone number with promises that those waiters will get some kind of career help. It’s kind of sad. Travolta was a lot more fun when I thought he was just boning randoms in the spa.

Kelly Preston was interviewed as part of a segment that aired on The Today Show yesterday. She talked about her newborn son, Benjamin, with her husband John Travolta, and revealed that she had a “silent birth” as is typical for members of the Scientology cult. The first thing that struck me about Kelly was her demeanor. She seemed very affected and phony to me, albeit superficially “nice.” It was clear a few minutes into the interview that she’s a total whackjob.

On what silent birth is
Silent birth is basically just no words as much as possible. If you need to moan, if you need to cry out … of course that’s normal. But, it’s just bringing them in, in as peaceful and gentle a way as possible.

On how L. Ron came up with this silent birth theory
Because L. Ron Hubbard found that the single source of abberation of psychosomatic illnesses, stress, fears, worry, things like that have to do with the reactive mind, and in that part of the mind is different words and commands that can come back to affect you later in your life.

On how silent birth benefited her kids their whole life
My kids have always been amazing. Just very calm, very peaceful, happy and I absolutely know it’s very much because of that.

On how baby Benjamin helped them heal from losing 16 year-old Jett
It’s been wonderfully healing. Of course, you know, we still — it’s still every day. But it’s been, I think, a really nice gift for a lot of people throughout the world. We’ve gotten the most beautiful letters. And the most beautiful notes of happiness

[From Today Show interview, aired 1-19-11, and via Popeater]

The “silent birth” stuff doesn’t sound that abnormal until she gets to the L. Ron part. When I had my son I asked everyone in the room to shut the hell up until the pushing stage because they were bugging me. (This is true, and I was pretty serious about it so they complied.) The thing that Kelly doesn’t address is that her cult also recommends that parents not even talk to a new baby for a full week after it’s born. That’s borderline abusive and is also idiotic considering that babies are used to hearing their parents voices from when they’re in the womb. L. Ron pulled this stuff out of his ass and Kelly talks about him as if he’s God. (That’s at 3:30 in the video above.)

I believe that Kelly really had that baby, and I’m guessing that she may have used an egg donor due to her age. I don’t really care much for Kelly or John, but I wish them the best with their new baby, especially after all they went through with the loss of their son, Jett. Kelly is clearly brainwashed, though, and the way she goes on about L. Ron, the reactive mind, and her kids being more peaceful due to their birth experience (as if that imprints on them more than anything else in their lives) is pretty disturbing. This is absolutely a woman who could easily be in denial about her husband’s sexual preference.
