The spirituality of her religion, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, helped Kelly and her husband John Travolta deal with losing their oldest child Jett, a time which they both agree was the toughest time in their lives.

I don’t know if I would have made it through without it.”

Preston tells star news of Scientology, a religion practiced by fellow celebrities Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman, Juliette Lewis, Priscilla Presley, Jason Lee and Peaches Geldoff, among many others. It is a religion most people regard as a cult and look at with derision.

Kelly turned to he religion in her time of sorrow and says the experience taught her valuable life lessons:

“Don’t sweat the small things. Love your kids like it could be the last moment.”

Still, a silver lining appeared in Kelly Preston and John Travolta‘s dark cloud. Their son, Benjamin Hunter Kaleo was born late last year to take away some of the pain of Jett’s passing.

It’s a movie about a family, and it’s fitting for John to make it a family affair, as well. Travolta comes from a very traditional second generation American Italian-Irish family, and the Gotti movie may very well be way up his alley.

John, appropriately enough, will be playing John Gotti, Sr., while Kelly has been cast as his wife, Victoria. Eleven-year-old Ella Bleu, last seen with her dad in the 2009 movie, “Old Dogs”, will star as Gotti’s daughter, Angel.

John‘s keeping the business all in the family. Wonder when young Benjamin will join in…

Benjamin Travolta was born in Florida on Nov. 23, 2010 and is making his magazine cover debut in two magazines this week: People and Hello! His proud parents report he is doing beautifully since birth.

“For us it’s been uplifting. Especially when he smiles at me and seems contented in my arms,” Travolta told Hello magazine.

You can see the happy parents John, 56, and Kelly, 48, holding their new baby smiling ear to ear.

Congratulations!

The proud parents say in a statement, “John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family,” “Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully.”

Preston, 48, recently told People magazine that the whole family has been in major preparation mode for the new addition of their family member!

She said in September, “I’ve been cleaning out everything in the house.” “Ella has been helping too. She’s looking forward to being a big sister.”

Congratulations!

More pictures of John after the drop…

John and Kelly Preston have been through the wringer lately, so why not continue with the charges against the people who tried to hurt them?

“The Travolta family has said that this matter has caused them unbelievable stress and pain and they wish to put this whole thing behind them,” Braithwaite told the court after a jury had been picked. Lightbourne and Bridgewater were accused of threatening to release private info about the January 2009 death of Jett, at the family home in Grand Bahama.

Hmmmm….does it have anything to do with the rumors that John is cheating on Kelly? He doesn’t want that to make it out in to the press I bet, so pull out everything that is in the public eye and retreat. Do you think John cheated on Kelly?

more shocking Travolta news after the jump…

“John Travolta has been cheating on Kelly for years! And when the details emerge, he’s gonna make Tiger Woods look like a boy scout,” according to Robert Randolph, author of the memoir, You’ll Never Spa in This Town Again.

Travolta has allegedly been a participant in Hollywood’s “secret gay spa subculture,” where the actor has engaged in “lewd sex acts with other men” on several occasions.

What’s worse we all know Kelly is expecting a baby in a few months. I hope the rag is wrong this time. We’ve heard enough of Travolta being gay or bi since he’s married to Kelly. I don’t know if his wife would be completely in the dark if that’s the case. Do you think Travolta is really cheating on his wife?

more John and Kelly after the hop…

Not so, this evening a rep for Kelly Preston and her husband John Travolta released a statement saying she is indeed pregnant. The couple currently have a 10-year-old daughter Ella. In January of 2009 the couple lost their eldest son Jett due to a seizure.

Do you think Kelly is too old to have a baby?

More pictures of John after the case closed…

John gave heart wrenching testimony in the stand. But it wasn’t enough, this time anyway. From TMZ:

Justice Anita Allen released the jury and declared a mistrial after learning that a member of Parliament announced at a political convention that defendant Pleasant Bridgewater — a former Senator — had been acquitted by the jury.

It’s unclear if jurors had actually reached a verdict. There’s an unconfirmed report that one of the jurors may have communicated information to the Parliament member who spoke out.

How sad. I hope justice can be served for these creeps and they don’t do this to another family at the worst possible moment. John and Kelly, get some rest!

More pictures after the disgust…

The news broke yesterday that the Travolta’s had gone to the police with the alleged crime.  It turns out, an EMT worker with the ambulance company and a local politician are both in the crackpot scheme to get a million dollars.  This is what the Daily Mail says:

The extortion plot is believed to revolve around a photograph of Jett as he lay in the back of an ambulance. It is understood to have been taken on a mobile phone.

The alleged blackmailers are thought to have made contact with Travolta and his Florida based lawyers Michael Ossi and Howard Butler.

Source close to the lawyers said Travolta was asked for money to keep the photograph from being sold.

The lawyers, who have represented Travolta for a number of years,flew to the Bahamas over the weekend from their office in Jacksonville, Florida.

A source close to Ossi revealed they met with the alleged extortionist and later contacted police.

That’s just disgusting.  A child died and these people were more concerned with taking pictures because they might get money.  Money over a child’s death.  Sick.

More pictures after the jump…

The results of the autopsy became public knowledge this afternoon.  The Associated Press says:

An official with a Bahamian funeral home says Jett Travolta’s death certificate says he was killed by a “seizure.” Glen Campbell is assistant director of the funeral home handling the remains of John Travolta‘s 16-year-old son.”

The news is sad, but somewhat of a relief.  A definite answer can give the Travolta family some sign of closure so they can grieve and begin the healing process after the funeral.

photo of Jett Travolta after the jump..

Jett died after falling ill and hitting his head at his family’s vacation home, police said Friday. A house caretaker found Jett, 16, unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy is being performed to determine the exact cause of death.

It’s a very sad day! Far too young to leave the world, may he rest in peace.
