No! No! No!

This would be TERRIBLE!

Apparently John Travolta is up for starring in a remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid alongside Scientology buddy Tom Cruise!

Travolta says:

"Someone came up with a good idea - it was a remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid - and there was a rumor that we were gonna do that, and I said to Tom, 'It's not a terrible rumor, it's not a bad idea.'"

But it IS a bad idea! A shiteous one! To see those two in Paul Newman's and Robert Redford's legendary roles would be a real travesty.

Paul is probably rolling over in his grave!

John Travolta, wife Kelly Preston and their daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta, walked the red carpet for the premiere of Old Dogs in Los Angeles on Monday.

John stars in the movie alongside Robin Williams and it is also Ella's film debut.

She looks just like her dad! Cute!

And Kelly looks great! It's sweet how she doesn't let go of Ella's hand. They all look like they're enjoying their daughter's special night.

Good for them!

John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, have kept pretty quiet on the tragic death of their son Jett, who died after a seizure in their Bahamian home this past January.

But the actor has decided to finally open up about his family and how they have been coping:

"We've been working very hard every day as a family to heal. We have our own way of doing it, and it has been helping. You need your friends a lot in times like that."

John and Kelly's 9-year-old daughter Ella Bleu is making her film debut in her father's new movie, Old Dogs, out on November 25. John continues:

"We decided it was OK to come out and promote, to introduce her to the world and to give her a beautiful future in film."

Kelly Preston also spoke about how their family is dealing with the loss of Jett saying that:

"…[the] outpouring of love from, really, worldwide has been extraordinary. It's been our friends, our family, our church. We partake in spiritual counseling pretty much daily.

"It's a tricky thing. Sometimes, something that's right for the moment is not right the next day. Being with people who are important to you, being with people that you love, I think that's what has primarily helped us the most. Sometimes, being alone, too."

We can't imagine going through something as terrible as losing a child, but it's good to hear that they are working through their grief as a family.

And we look forward to seeing little Ella in the movies too!

Picewell Forbes, who publicly announced the acquittal of defendant Pleasant Bridgewater before the deliberation was finished, will not face charges of being in contempt of court.

Senior Justice Anita Allen said to Forbes: "You have been rightly ridiculed locally and internationally. It is my opinion that you have suffered enough."

Lucky break!

We wonder if the Travolta family thinks this decision is fair?

The Bahamian politician whose comments incited a mistrial in the John Travolta case says he's sorry!

A little too late for sorries!

Picewell Forbes told reporters that the comments he made at an October 22nd Progressive Liberal Party rally were "reckless… and interfered with the course of justice in that case and were further capable of bringing disrepute to the whole administration of justice."

Forbes had announced to the rally's crowd that former Bahamian Senator Pleasant Bridgewater was a "free woman" before Travolta's trial was complete.

So, according to lawmakers, the not-so-bright politician may be held in contempt of court.

Good!

Scientology backed Prop 8!

Crash director Paul Haggis has left the Church of Scientology after being fed up with the church's support of California's Proposition 8 banning gay marriage.

He and his wife, actress Deborah Rennard, were both practicing Scientologists after his in-laws introduced them to the church. Apparently, though, his wife's parents committed a violation of some sort within the church and Haggis and his wife were ordered to break contact with them.

Obviously this was a tumultuous time in their family and Haggis had enough of the "church" BS!

In a strongly-worded letter to Scientology spokesperson, Tommy Davis, Haggis explains his decision:

"And so, after writing this letter, I am fully aware that some of my friends may choose to no longer associate with me, or in some cases work with me…However, I have finally come to the conclusion that I can no longer be a part of this group. Frankly, I had to look no further than your refusal to denounce the church’s anti-gay stance, and the indefensible actions, and inactions, of those who condone this behavior within the organization. I am only ashamed that I waited this many months to act. I hereby resign my membership in the Church of Scientology."

We wonder what the other celebrity Scientologists have to say for themselves?

We're looking at you Tom Cruise and John Travolta!

After the disappointing outcome of John Travolta's extortion case ending in a mistrial, Michael Ossi, Travolta's lawyer, is working on having the case transfered to the States!

Says Ossi:

I have asked the Bahamian authorities to preserve all the evidence for the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) to review, and I have written to the federal government and the Bahamian government about trying the case in Florida. The original call was made from the Bahamas to Florida, so there is jurisdiction for a trial in the U.S.

Travolta's lawyer is hoping to have the case transfered to Jacksonville, Florida, where John has said he will testify again if need be.

Ossi also added that the Travoltas were hoping to begin the "healing process without the prospect of more litigation over their heads," but sadly, the family has "no choice."

We would be, too!

After the mistrial was declared, a rep for John Travolta released a statement to Entertainment Tonight:

"We are disappointed to hear about the alleged juror misconduct since we know that the Bahamian government, the court, the other jurors and John Travolta as the victim want to have this matter adjudicated through the judicial system. Mr. Travolta has and will continue to cooperate with the Bahamian authorities in the prosecution of the defendants for extortion."

The retrial date has yet to be set, but we're sure they want it done sooner rather than later!

The Travolta extortion case has ended in a mistrial after lawmaker Picewell Forbes told an audience at a Progressive Liberal Party convention that former Bahamian Senator Pleasant Bridgewater was a "free woman", while the jury was still in deliberation.

Idiot!

So basically everything that's happened in the last month has gone to crap!

However, the Senior Justice Anita Allen has reluctantly ordered a re-trial "in the interest of justice".

Michael Ossi, one of John Travolta's attorney's, said the Scientologist will cooperate and re-testify if necessary.

We could only imagine how emotionally exhausting this is for the Travolta's.

Hopefully in this next trial the former Senator and paramedic Tarino Lightbourne get what they deserve! And other people keep their mouth shut!
