She Should Really Just Shut Up

Were John Travolta and Heath Ledger even friends???
While most people who have worked with him have released brief statements, the Pulp Fiction star has gone on and on and on about the deceased Aussie actor. And they were never even in a movie together!
Travolta "adored" Ledger and is "devastated" by his death.
Stalker alert!
Here is Johnny boy's super creepy interview with Australia's Woman's Day:
WD: Did you know Heath? How has his death affected you?
JT: I did know Heath and I adored him. I am pretty devastated over this. He was my favourite actor and my favourite talent. It's like losing James Dean. I would give back all my awards and all my nominations just to have him back — I think he is a real loss as a persona and as a talent. And this whole evening is very hard for me. We are celebrating Australia week in the USA — and it's killing me. You know that he's both of us. He's Australian and from the United States, and he means a whole lot. It's bad situation.
WD: How did you meet him?
JT: I wanted to meet him because I was very impressed with him from the very beginning. His agent introduced me to him at a party, and I just fell — I used every accolade. Actors need other actors to be inspired by, and he was "my" actor.
WD: How did he respond?
JT: I forget that anyone younger than me grew up with me. He was beautiful in his reaction. I was an idol of his — my reacting that way to his work really blew him away, but he was very modest and almost bashful about the compliment — and didn't want to make a big deal about himself. But he was a big deal.
WD: Did you know of any troubles he may have been experiencing?
JT: As far as I knew he was on top of the world. He had everything going for him and was very serious about his craft, and was looking forward to the best work thrown his way. I know recently there was a separation [between him and Michelle Williams], but the thing is when you have the depth of character and feeling as Heath did — it's a double-edged sword. You are also feeling those things in life. Your sensitivities and perceptions are almost an assault on you. The most beautiful thing you can use in your craft is also the very thing that can make life harsher for you. I would be presumptuous to assume any reasons, it would be inappropriate. My feeling on Heath is I don't want to lose him at any age, 28 or 88, like Marlon Brando. I didn't like his passing, he was special to me, and he was a friend. At any age you don't want to lose someone like that — he was a valuable guy. I am truly sorry and my heart goes out to everyone who knew him and loved him, and actually, my heart goes out to me, I really don't like it. I don't like it… [trails off]
WD: Do you feel for young people in show business now?
JT: I was in a different era, I really don't know. My daughter is starting out in the business and she will be protected by me, and I admire anyone who holds it together nowadays. There are a lot of outside pressures, and then you add the complications of being a superstar — that talent, that depth, and who knows? We would have to be inside that person's head.
WD: What was his most inspirational movie for you?
JT: Well, the first movie I saw him in was The Patriot, but then with Brokeback — I don't think anyone will ever beat that performance, I don't know if it's possible.
Perez Hilton is such a fucking hypocrite!!! He makes fun of John Travolta for being sad that Heath had passed away and he himself never had anything good to say about Heath on this fucking site!! All he ever said was how ugly he was and he compared him to Freddy Kruger. Fucking bitch!! Grow up and get a life. Stop using celebrities as your meal ticket and get off your fat ass and get a real job!!
HOW CAN YOU CAN ANYONE A STALKER WITH A SITE LIKE THIS……….. YOU REALLY NEED TO SIT DOWN BOO
He's Australian and from the United States? Huh? Just because he lived in the US didn't make him American. Travolta is an idiot.
I thought Scientologists are against mind altering drugs?! It's public knowledge that Heath took Ambien and depression meds. John Travolta's not going to get banned from the cult for worshipping someone who takes such pills? Confused…
It was insensitive of Perez but if I was a fat, ogre looking gay guy who's kind of a D list celebrity I might not be so sensitive as well. Perez have to have tough skin to put himself out here everyday looking the way he look. The colored hair and shit don't detract lol. So occasionally a post like this where he's just totally off base happens…. though we all know Travolta is a closet case and probably had a big crush on heath and I wouldnt put it past it if he fantasized about Heath taking him ala Brokeback Mountain, that still doesn't mean he don't have feelings and wasn't really hurt.
John Travolta is so gay. And Scientology ain't gonna cure it anymore than it's gonna cure his son's autism. But stay on, they do, serving no one but asswipe David Miscavige's bank account and ego (one in the same).
they were in the patriot together!!!! duhhh
Perez…you aren't as entertaining as you used to be. You are getting way too personal. How can you judge someone's reaction to the death of their friend? That's just too far. I really don't enjoy this site as much as I used to.
John is a good guy; he knows from his acting days from TV. Welcome Back Carter from the pass that Hollywood can be stressful and he was giving good advice.
Travolta didn't know him at all!!!! What a ScientoloLOSER!!
DO YOU REALLY CARE? I DON'T. A POOR RICH ACTOR WITH "PROBLEMS" DIES AGAIN WITH NO REGARD FOR HIS CHILD AND A SELFISH GOD COMPLEX. BOO. HOO.
Actors are always talking about each other as if theyre something super special. THOUSANDS of people die every hour around the world through no fault of their own so why should we be extra sorry about self indulgent celebrities who choose to take dangerous substances? Ill save my pity for those who truly deserve it. ps; I thought his dreary mumbling performance in brokeback ruined the film!
It's amazing how the bigots shine any time a Scientologist is asked for his/her opinion. The statements Travolta made regarding Heath Ledger have NOTHING to do with Scientology. Travolta doesn't bring up his religion. But all the assholes here have to bring it up like it makes some kind of difference to anyone except themselves. What is with the Scientology obsessions these people have anyway? Should we start lynching Scientologists? Drag them from their houses? Punch them for having opinions or speaking their minds? Make them have separate water fountains and bathrooms?
Just because the 'cool kids' are bashing Scientology doesn't make it okay to do. Everybody's different, it doesn't matter what religion you believe in.
Everything he said was very kind. I bet Ledger's family will appreciate comments like this about their son. WTF is your problem??
[b]YOU DOUCHEBAGS ARE ONLY SAYING JOHN IS WEIRD BECAUSE PEREZ'S FAT ASS SAID IT! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE PICTURES OF TWO PEOPLE TOGETHER TO BELIEVE THAT ONE HAD ADMIRATION FOR THE OTHER. HEATH WILL BE MISSED BY MANY, TRAVOLTA INCLUDED. PEREZ YOU AND YOUR DRONES ARE FUCKING LOSERS!! [/b]
John Travolta is a nice person, a good father, a charity worker
This disgusting, cruel article, mocking someone who misses the late Heath Ledger has made me now boycott 'perez hilton'.
Everyone has friends and family. Please remember that; I try to and I'm only a kid.
I'm really saddened that someone could be so horrible.
I loved how Perez had the morals and courage to show the world how corrupt it was for that FOX jerk to insult a dead man. But Perez how does Travolta paying tribute to a friend he misses dearly make you personally offended/shocked?
You seem incredulous that "THEY WERENT EVEN IN A FILM TOGETHER!!!" Maybe if you'd read the article you'd see that John Travolta is asked if he was friends with Heath, and he replies that yes he was.
I'll pray for you because you seem bitter and unhappy, and I don't wish anyone that kind of life. But please don't take out your misery and issues on other people- its not fair, in the same way you saw it wasn't fair for that FOX caht show idiot to use Heath's death to flaunt his homophobia.
*Yawn.** Waffle, waffle.
Actually, Scientology should just shut up and die. Then all these idiot "celebrities" would dry up and blow away.
Re: Vendetta – Yes, it does matter what "religion" you believe in if that "religion" ruins your family, sucks all the money out of your bank account, and in general makes its "parishioners" into zombies and robots. My brother is a shell of what he once was. He has no money — started out with a large inheritance — guess where that is no? I'd say that David Fuck You Miscavige is driving it around town. So, go fuck yourself, if you think Scientology is just another religion. That's like saying Hitler was just another politician.
What awards has this loser ever received? Closet Fag of the Year?
Some of the most self-involved, self-promoting, douchebaggery I have ever read. He should be ashamed of himself. It reads like an SNL spoof about a celeb at a funeral using time in front of reporters' cameras to use this chance to mourn the passing by promoting his latest movie. "…my heart goes out to myself"..?!?!? Adam Samberg couldn't have written a more ridiculous line. Does he hear, I mean really hear, the garbage coming out of his mouth and think it passes for sincerity…?
what the hell, perez?
i really love you and all.
but this is ridiculous.
this isn't stalker-ish in the least bit.
he's obviously fucking upset that this happened, and he has enough balls to come out and talk about it.
jesus christ.
finally john travolta's lost a little weight! remember how bloated his cheeks were looking for awhile? there's nothing wrong with that interview…it's cool that someone talented and so much older than heath, can be so in awe of his work. usually they're too hung up on themselves to admit to looking up to someone younger than them.
Heath Ledger was a wonderful actor but I think Daniel Day Lewis is the best of our generation. No one else could have played the character he did, in Gangs of New York.
that is not creepy. he felt a certain way about heath's death and he expressed it open-heartedly…and if that's weird, then so be it.
i felt the same way after losing one of my classmates i graduated with in june. we weren't close, but i wish he were here right now more than anything, because he was such a bright light in this world….i knew he was going to accomplish amazing things.
i think that john felt the same way about heath…i dont think it's weird at all.
and if you've never had to deal with losing someone, i don't think it's right for anyone to judge.
He's genuine and kind. –Why dont YOU try that sometime.
It is sad whenever someone young dies. As an actor more people are just aware of it. As for John, he probably did have respect for his work along with both of those facts. I don't think that he was trying to be a 'media hog' at all over it however going on and on (as he did), if anything, would only probably fuel up the gay rumors again.
Can't believe how John Travolta is so full of himself. He forgot that anyone younger then him grew up with him. So full of shit!!!
Re: Vendetta – B/c Scientology isn't a religion. It's some kind of science fiction cult designed to brainwash as many people as possible out of their money and to change the world to the likeness of their egotistical leader. I'm entitled to my opionion too…
how is that creepy? he's saddened by someones passing. big whoop.
I don't think any of you looking down on John Travolta right now have ANY RIGHT. As far as I know (GAY OR NOT) he was, is, and will be always be known as a great actor… and all he is saying here is that he RESPECTS another actor and is saddened that Heath will no longer be able to show the world his talents, because he was so talented.
As for you Perez, you make comments about the media not respecting the loss of Heath and let his family mourn… well as far as I'm concerned you are being rather hypocritical.. aren't you doing the same exact thing when you make fun of other actors and people who mourn Heath's death?? Think about it….
…and I'll officially never read this site again, you're a huge asshole perez. You're comments here make me ill and angry.
Perez - if you read this - you should know that the Australian Woman's Day has a terrible reputation for making up stories.
I know - it's a shocking thought that a journalist might make up an interview with a celeb. rather than take the time to visit said celeb and actually talk to them… but it's true. There is a number of weekly "womens" mags that do this all the time. Ask any Aus celeb and they will tell you they regularly see stories about themselves that are simply not true or based on interviews that never happened.
your the one that needs to shut up perez!
you have been putting false stories about his death on here and not even apologizing when you've got something wrong.
you are a horrible person!
how stupid u are. People can fell a loss of someone no matter who he is, It's just about having feelings, something i guess u are not familiar with right!
