According to TMZ, Radar and various Australian newspapers, John Travolta has had to take off his sailor uniform pilot uniform and cut his 10-day Aussie dongfest extravaganza short, because the ol’ ball and chain chose THIS MOMENT to relieve herself of her pillow. Yes, according to sources, Kelly Preston is in labor right now (who would have thunk it), and now Travolta has to sit through a 22-hour flight to “rush home” and play the devoted father. We discussed his trip on Friday, which was noted in several of last week’s tabloids, especially Star Magazine. Kelly’s due date wasn’t until November 23rd, I think. So she went into labor a whole week and a half early, which NEVER happens with pregnancies from what I hear, so it’s not like Travolta could have ever known?
John Travolta has rushed home from a promotional trip in Australia after receiving word that pregnant wife Kelly Preston has gone into labor.
The 56-year-old Grease star was due in Perth for a charity event but abruptly cancelled to pilot his own flight back to the United States.
Travolta made good on his promise that if his Preston “goes into labor, I’ll have to take the plane straight back on a 22-hour flight”.
“If I get a call, I may have to say adios,” he told reporters earlier this week.
Preston, 47, wasn’t expected to give birth to the couple’s third child for another three weeks.
The couple has already named their much anticipated baby boy Benjamin.
[From Radar]
Theory one: Kelly is really pregnant, and she’s really in labor, and she’s probably going to give birth (silently) before John comes home from his completely unnecessary trip, which is all really wrong, in my opinion. Theory two: Kelly isn’t really pregnant, and this whole thing wasn’t planned because they were waiting for the surrogate mother to give birth, and the surrogate went into labor early, ending Travolta’s grand tour of the Australian dong. Either/or.
UPDATE: Gossip Cop claims that Travolta isn’t “rushing back” and that he was ALWAYS planned to return to Kelly this weekend. Travolta’s rep tells Gossip Cop the stories are “100 percent false…[Preston’s] not in labor. John is in route back to [the] U.S. as was always the plan for him to return this weekend.” DONGFEST RESCHEDULED!
I don’t care to speak on all the chatter of Kelly faking this pregnancy. I don’t really care if she carried this child or not. The fact is she and John are about to become parents again and that in itself is something that should be celebrated. So congratulations to Kelly, John and Ella on the new arrival!
Kelly boob’s look way too huge, check out the comparison:

From my experience, my boobs did inflate but not 3-4 bra sizes but idk. I honestly don’t want to believe she’s been wearing a pregnancy suit and john is a raging homosexual on the DL, but the tabloids just keep this story going. :/
@anaya, definitely agree
I love that pink gown Kelly is wearing in those last photos! She looks stunning. It reminds me of that fabulous green gown Angelina wore while she was pregnant in Cannes. Great style for pregnant ladies.
I hope all goes well with Kelly!
I think the speculation that its a pillow baby is simply crazy but on the other hand it is Scientology and it is Hollywood.
I kind of like theory #3 put forth the other day by Marjorie, I think. John is flying home from Aussieland with the baby and was hoping to get home before the paps caught his departure.
I gave birth 8 days early, it’s quite common. I’ve never thought they were faking and am very happy for them.
Shouldn’t a husband want to be with his wife when she’s about to give BIRTH?
All kinds of weirdness with this couple. Kelly is due to give birth, but he jets off to the other side of the world? That’s a suck-ass husband in my opinion.
Beard, please.
dang! those are some heavily massive pillow boobs. really?! her face stays slim as well as her arms but her boobs got that big?! i call bullsh!t on that. sorry but it’s just so insulting that they think the public is falling for it. i wonder if there are any old pregnancy pics of her online somewhere because it would be interesting to compare the past pics to present pics.
My oldest was born 9 days late (after 17 hours of labour); my second was born 4 days late (after 9 1/2 hours of labour); my latest “surprise baby” was born 17 days early (after over 36 hours of labour).
My point: Baby decides when it’s time to arrive, whether it’s to the “claimed” mother or the birth mother. Joy to them, and shame on John for being selfish. If my husband had pulled a stunt like this, I’d have had the baby without him out of spite. And since he knows that about me (it’s just part of my charm) he never would have pulled said stunt!
not all women get the puffy face while pregnant. John had to go to Austrailia for the 90th anniversary of Quantis airlines for which he’s the US ambasador they even gave him a quantis Jet of his own.besides only about 5% of babies are born on their actual due dates I should know I was born 12 days late 25+ years ago.
I don’t know about the pillow and anything, but the fact that she’s wearing nail polish while pregnant is fishy to me. I thought it was a huge no-no due to health concern, so… ?
@ Aurelie – I think you’re thinking of hair dye. As far as I know, the nail polish thing is only an affront to the Labour & Delivery staff, as they like to see when nail beds turn blue*. It is my own personal opinion that acrylic nails aren’t healthy during pregnancy due to the fumes inhaled.
*When I was in labour with my first child, I told the staff to check my toenails, as they were closer to where they were looking anyway. They were NOT amused. 😉
I’ve never heard about the nail polish thing. I think she definitely looks pregnant in the purple dress, but I can see the argument for the pillow or body suit in the black dress. It just looks weird!
I’ve never before seen a “pregnant” woman whose boobs grew larger than her abdomen. Weird…
@bellaluna: You’re full of WIN, my dear!
OOH OHH I Have a Theory!, Kelly being the enforcer arm of the scientolohole Travolty is enmeshed in It could just be a strategy Chain yanking move, Pillow or no pillow, surrogate or not they know how his trips and masseuse hands play out… they summoned him back to keep him in check… as they always do when he gets too free for his own good
I wish he’d leave that crappy situation cause unlike Tom Cruise he seems to be like sloppily in-pain-eager to get some action.. and after the whole Jet thing… is just a mess
He had to cut his dongfest short – Kaiser, you are killing me over here!
In the photo of her in the navy blue dress, what is going on there with her chest? Does she have implants, I’ve never really noticed before.
I think the Travoltas are morons, and he is clearly gay. But I’ve seen photos of her and to me, she does actually look pregnant. Here’s one, check out her face and hands:
http://tinyurl.com/38lxd3t
P.S and IF she IS in fact preggo I read a blind item a while back about actor happy to use something as a catalyst come out and the wife going behind his back and using saved up sperm and proceeding to get pregnant to keep him as it was etc etc
Totally sounded like them
Yeah, I’m going with Theory number 2.
The timing of this trip just seems so suspect. He’s been a father twice before and you would think that no expectant father would leave his pregnant wife to fly halfway around the world so close to her due date.
Now on to more important things:
Where do I register for the ‘Aussie dongfest extravaganza’…you know the one for the ladies???
@Kaiser: Thanks for the laugh and also thanks (sarcasm) for making me have to explain to my MOTHER what a ‘dongfest extravaganza’ was after she read this post.
Babies come when they come. Having their 3rd child, they should know that. What is fishy to me is that she was put on bedrest and he left anyway. That is NOT the time to leave your wife to be 22 hours away by plane. He might have been obligated to go but I am quite sure Quantas would be cool enough to understand that being with your wife to deliver her baby might be a teensy bit more important. He could have easily video taped some greeting for the anniversary gathering and mailed it off.
Or why didn’t they just go together? Normally doctors only have to a note for mothers to travel after 36 weeks. Surely they have enough money to have swung that. Or how about not making a commitment to be so far away anywhere near the time your wife is due. This had to have been planned several weeks, if not a few months out. With pregnancy, you never know and simply being of “advanced maternal age” (medically speaking, I am considered thus and I’m only 35) is enough to be considered high risk by some doctors.
While they didn’t loose a child prenatally, surely they understand how things can go pear-shaped quickly. Why mess with this when it has to do with your new baby?
I don’t care for the pillow-baby theories but seriously, John comes off as a total asshole in this.
@bellaluna – the nail beds turn what now? 😯
Wow – that is some support her bosoms are getting in that diaphanous black dress – they look positively perky! Although I can see the outline of the bra on her left breast, so it’s effective, but not subtle.
Anyway – congrats on the enlargement of their family. 😉
LolaBella – Yeah, right. Like your mom didn’t know what a dongfest was.
Yeah, I said it.
I still vote not pregnant.
Had that happened to me that my husband jetted off to the other end of the world while I was at the end of my pregnancy and put on bed rest, he’d have been an ex-husband by the time he got back.
@bellaluna – That is too funny. I agree with you if my husband pulled a stunt like that he wouldn’t be coming home the locks would be changed. And what is this thing about an ambassador to Quantas? Is it a government position? Since when does an airline need an ambassador and especially with two countries that are friendly to one another.
I don’t know, check out this photo, I think all her “swelling” is actually in her legs.
http://newcovermagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/kelly-preston-pregnant.jpg
The real father was probably already by Kelly’s side, thus eliminating the need for Travolta to “rush” home. If there really is a pregnancy.
shut up the ambasador can’t back out of big events even if Wifey is preggers. this being their third and her having turned 48 last month make premature labor and delivery alot more common at least it’s not like Ne-yo’s daughter who was born 2-3 months early and besides out of 4.5 million babies born annually only 225,000 are actually born on their expected due-dates 80% born late and 15% born early besides kelly is over 38 weeks if she was scheduled to deliver November 26th so ben is perfectly healthy
@ravenSparrow
if you would have to schlepp that enormous pillow suit around your legs would be swollen too. more proof even that the whole thing is a sham. what? are those ginormous bbobs supposed to distract us from the ominous “bump” below it? strange that she has not worn one outfit that was somewhat body hugging when usually sh eis more than eager to show off her figure. freaks!
22 hours my ass. It’s 15. And Johnny told the media he had to rush back and catch the baby. (Pick it up from the surrogates.)

#25 Courtney: Shut up? WTF is that? People are talking about the article above which speculated on yes/no pregnant. So you think she is. Great. Why tell someone else to shut up? Rude. Really rude.
@ bellaluna – omg that last comment is so hilarious!
eh – he’s not an actual diplomat you know! Shilling for Quantas isn’t a matter of national security you know – even in Australia.
@bellaluna – the nail beds turn what now? 😯
LMAO! I had the same reaction to her post, and I’ve given birth twice.
ugh, not to beat a dead horse, but as i stated on the blog the other day, there is just no way this woman is pregnant. she is almost 50, and look at her damn face and arms. nothing, nada, zip to indicate she is pregnant, and look at the difference in miranda kerr’s face after 4 or 5 months. look at jlos face or ali larter or any damn pregnant lady. they all show signs of being pregnant. i cant stand these two fakers!
Just because some people gain 80 lbs pregnant doesn’t mean everyone one does. Some people just get the belly, and she does have some pretty fabulous genes.
Plus, with all her paid help, there’s really no need for him to stay in town.
Nothing would surprise me. She may be pregnant, but I kinda doubt it. He may have gone to Australia to pick up the kid from wherever it was hatched.
They are so strange, nothing they might have done would strike me as beyond the realm of possibility.
LOL I would think that since this had been planned for quite a while that Kelly told him to go. There is no way she is not pregnant. Big deal if her boobs got big and her stomach is not as big, I was like that all chest no stomach. People love this conspiracy crapmakes them feel important lol the woman is pregnant john is not gay and there is no beard, who cares what religion they are? does it mean that all cos have beards for a spouse and that all of them dont have real kids they hire someone to do it for them?? get real; people,
How many tons of greenhouse gases does Travolta produce every year? His carbon footprint must be sickening.
Kelly is carrying her pregnancy all in the stomach and boobs- now whether this is nature or a prosthetic, I have no idea.
Women carry very differently, so there’s no use in comparing her to other pregnant women- some carry in their face, some don’t.
I would be very interested to see pictures of Kelly when she was pregnant with her first two children- that would be a better comparison, I would think.
Okay, bros. Quit making these stupid comments.
Yes, Kelly really is pregnant. My mom had me when she was 45. Yes, women in their 40s get pregnant. Kelly Preston looks good because she is a celebrity with lots of money. No, she doesn’t gain 50 pounds. Ever. Not even when she is pregnant. Get it?
Now quit spouting out all this crap. Thank you.
I have never known a single pregnant woman to place her hand strategically to emphasize in photos that there is a belly bump, as does Kelly.
Additionally, there was a photo of her with John standing against a waist high bar; she was firmly pushing her belly into the bar. As if there was no sensation of the pressure she was putting on her stomach.
No pregnant woman would tolerate that kind of pressure on her pregnant stomach or baby.
I think he went to Australia to pick up their baby boy. Now Kelly can pull the pillow out anytime she feels like it. I will never buy that she is pregnant.
Look at that picture of her, three down in the purple dress. Woman who are pregnant place their hand UNDER the swollen belly, cupping their baby tenderly. Her hand is on her thigh because who wants cup a plastic belly tenderly?
Also, a woman her age facing labor is so high risk that any husband who flies halfway around the world so close to her time is a total asshole. But when she is baking a pillow, no worries mate.
Where do I get this Qantas ambassador gig? I want a plane for free, too. lol
She is 47 years old. Anything can happen and it could happen quickly. If I were that age and in my final month my partner would be tethered to my side. But that’s just me.
I wonder if she had to take estrogen supplements to maintain the pregnancy. She may regret this in the future.
This recent tin hat theory that all kinds of women are faking their pregnancies is what happens when people spend too much time on the internet. It’s a hoot.
He was supposed to be in Perth for a telethon but backed out at the last minute and they said he was on his way home because she had gone into labour.
Isn’t this Kelly Preston’s fourth child? I remember a story about how she had a child with her first husband/boyfriend and there were some issues with the baby
I honestly believe he is picking up the child in Australia. Most likely contacts in the Scientology network. I know Tom Cruise’s adopted children were from Scientology mothers. No father who has suffered what John has would even dare miss the miracle of birth after witnessing the devastation he has. No wife about to give birth and at her age would OK a trip anywhere near her due date.The photo’s with the huge boobs was so fake. They wanted it to look like pregnancy boobs. Way to over the top. She is not carrying this kid. I suspect they used John sperm and a donor egg.And a surrogate. Who was paid plenty to keep quiet.I also suspect the due date isn’t when they say. I mean once the kid is shown no one will be able to tell.
So John gets to continue his explorations ‘Down Under’. Yay.
@Mymy, good point. Isn’t there some mega wealthy CoS friend of TC in Australia? Since JT has his own airplane, compliments of Qantas, technically he could fly back to their Florida compound with the baby on the plane and no one would be the wiser.
One thing’s for sure, with his own equipment JT always pulls out on time!
Chiming in to say normal, healthy babies come early all the time. My daughter was 2 weeks early so if my husband had taken off, I would have been pissed! You don’t plan anything major a within a month of your due date.
@ Jaxx:
I think he went to Australia to pick up their baby boy. Now Kelly can pull the pillow out anytime she feels like it. I will never buy that she is pregnant.
This is full of win!
Most likely theory…
nahhhh, this is totally a sham–
they have a surrogate, what a bunch of weirdos!!!
shes almost 50 and no swelling anywhere, her arms remain thin..hmm, bogus!!!! her fingers look arthiritic, LOL
