    IMO The Travolta's deep roots in the cult that is Scientology contributed to their sons death. Are they grieving? I am sure they am. But lets remember THEY made up the whole Kawasaki disease and discussed it on various interviews. Jetts blood is on his parents hands.

    @ScooterPies: I suspect they were having Jett treated for autism on the sly, but going with the "Kawasaki syndrome" thing in public. I'm not a Travolta fan by any means, but I really doubt the guy would treat his son for one disease even though he knew he had something far different.

    If the crew at Gawker had taken some interest in my idea to allow crowd-sourced editing, I'd use that to suggest (behind-the-scenes, where further attention isn't brought to it!) that you change "John Travolta testifies about the day his son dead" to "John Travolta testifies about the day his son died".

    But since that doesn't exist, I'll post it here.

    i thought john travolta acknowledged his son's autism in his statement to the police when his son died in January. was he under some kind of obligation to "admit" it to the public? i think children of celebrities are owed a degree of privacy, especially concerning medical conditions. what and whether it is disclosed to the public is the family's decision, not ours.

    @sloe-eyed: I know a number of people who do not disclose their kids's autism, including a high level medical publishing exec whose colleagues have no idea. It's an interesting line - if you tell people, you might learn more and find more resources - if you don't, you can do the hard work w/out the world watching you or telling you you're going about it wrong. If youur child is mildly autistic, you might not want that info to hold him back at school and elsewhere. And then there's the insurance debacle. Can't cast stones at the Travolta's who endured 16 years of grieving and sorrow already - and now the final version. Seizures are the devil incarnate. Watch your child seize and you're never quite the same. TF

    @TroisFilles: I agree with you that the Travolta's endured 16 years of sorrow but that was mostly self-inflicted. If they had had the courage to go against the near-criminal beliefs of the cult they belong to, they could have accessed so much information that would have made their lives, and most importantly, Jett's life, completely different. The Travolta's wouldn't have been vulnerable to blackmail if they had accepted Jett for who he REALLY was and didn't keep his condition secret.

    Their grief is real and I pray that they are able to find peace, somehow. I also hope they break whatever chains Scientology has on them. Scientology was no solace for Jett.

    @topsy: I know lots of people who are not scientologists who choose to not share the diagnosis, but they are actively engaged in the child's healthcare for autism. John's brother was involved in autism charities at one point. Not going public doesn't mean not using services, school programs, doctors, etc. It's especially hard for celebs - do you "use" your child for the cause or keep that part of your life private. I don't have the answer. Have a good day, Topsy. Give my regards to Turvy. TF

    @TroisFilles: the family might have talked about it extensively with his doctors, school and everyone who was involved in jett's care, but i don't consider that "going public" - it's private information. i just feel that the travoltas had no obligation to let people like you and me know that their son had autism. i think that the family is being portrayed a bit unfairly because the fact is, we have no idea who they have spoken to about his autism so shouldn't accuse.

    So although I'm loathe to admit that I clicked on the nobody-cares-about-me Kristen Stewart link, I have to ask. What is the deal, truly, with this statement from the article:
    ---
    Kristen says it’s "bizarre" that people want to copy what she wears — especially when it’s items out of her own closet.

    "The things that have been sold out have been the things that people are actually able to get that are semi-cheap," she explains. "Those things like sweatshirts and jackets, those things are mine, which is bizarre to have people go out and buy."
    ---
    I'm very confused. Does she, and she alone, own the rights to grungy teen angsty clothes, much as Paris Hilton owns the rights to "that's hot?" I had no idea this girl was the inspiration for the sudden phenomenon of sweatshirts and jackets.

    "Kevin Spacey just wrapped on Casino Jack"..

    Can't wait for this thing to come out! George Hickenlooper, the director, is on my FB friend list, just like Defamer’s own dearly departed Seth Abramovich. And his updates on researching the material, getting in a brawl with some retarded Huffington Post columnist who b*tched him out about how he committed a felony by visiting Abramoff in prision, and the shoot itself have been riveting, hilarious. FTW!

    Wow. You missed the LA Times article on how Fox has dumped "Saving Grace" and ordered only nine episodes. Seems they won't renew it as the religious background story won't sell well overseas, but I smell a dead fish. One can only hope that another network will pick this up, as Holly Hunter shines in this drama.

    @Richard Lawson: We should be 'caring' as TNT is trying to do some alternative TV dramas that the usual ol' networks won't pick up. Some are good, some are great and yeah, some stink. But better than the usual rehashed trash on the other networks. At least they're not continually showing reruns of 90 comedies and actually giving young writers and producers a chance.
