    @DTurkin: I can't imagine that Bruni would want more of anything than she already has. She grew up in a huge estate in Italy, was a well known model and singer, and now first lady of france. She has won the lottery when it comes to good luck in life. A vanity fair article I read painted them both as extremely competitive and fierce in the pursuit of love... and maybe they just had a lot in common.

    @mishmisha: She was a major model for quite some time, but never as big in the US as in Europe. And she's a terrific singer/songwriter. And her family is fascinating; rich, eccentric, artistic, aristocratic.

    Bruni may or may not be a famewhore, but she didn't just fall off a turnip truck and marry Sarkozy. The last time she was in Vanity Fair was back when she was banging Mick Jagger.

    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.

    The pathos starts with a bang; "I went to Fashion's Night Out at Bergdorf's last night to see you bartend", and by the time it's cemented ("drinking a Stella"), I had already resigned myself to a dreary, depressing day. Think I'll make some tea, sit by the window and watch the rain. Edith Wharton produces a similar effect.
