update time

while no story is all that big, there are plenty of little stories that update some of the past ones i've reported on. first up is gossip girl star kelly rutherford's family life -  while the actress is pregnant with her second child, she has decided to file divorce papers after 2 years of marriage. this will be rutherford's second divorce, but her longest marriage - her first divorce, in 2005, occurred after 5 months of marriage ... uber money making machine twilight is probably about to be handed a big fat lawsuit - the people behind the movie's new fragrance have blatantly ripped off the apple bottle design from a nina ricci fragrance.  the perfume is currently sold at hot topic retailers and may be pulled off the shelves very soon, much like bratz dolls, which will be pulled off store shelves starting in february ... an autopsy on john travolta's son jett is set to take place tomorrow in nasau, though authorities are almost certain the blow to the head jett suffered in the bathtub while on vacation is the cause of death, or at least what we should believe is the cause of death ... it looks like ryan seacrest has a new lady love.  after his split from australian beauty sophie monk (with whom he is developing a faux reality show), seacrest hasn't been seen with many women. however, the tv personality was recently spotted with 2007 playboy playmate of the year sara jean underwood in the carribean. it will be interesting to see if this will develop into a real relationship or if it will just turn into another "ryan seacrest production" 

that's it for now - peace, love, and blogging.

travolta tragedy

john travolta's family suffered a tragic loss today as he and wife kelly preston's 16 year old son jett suffered a seizure and passed away in the bahamas today.  jett, who has been kept out of the public eye (while his sister ella is almost always with her parents on red carpets), is said to have suffered from autism and little known about kawasaki disease, which causes cardiac complications.  because of the family's scientology beliefs, the disease was most likely not properly treated with medication when jett was younger and may have caused the later problems he faced.  is that abuse in some way? i don't know, but it seems like something could have been done to address the issue.  as well, not coming out publicly about details about jett makes the travoltas and scientology even shadier.  the religion does not acknowledge disorders like autism and, therefore, the actor pair may have been unwilling to become spokespeople for the condition.  but, look at parents of autistic children, like jenny mccarthy, that have done so much for the disorder and made it so well known.  the travoltas could have been that voice and that fact that they've seemed to ignore the fact is just wrong.  

that's really all i have for today.  hopefully the family will release some sort of statement that talks all about what exactly was wrong with jett.
