My heart goes out to him and his family. It wasn't that long ago that his son, Jett, died.

I'm shocked that Hooters would display such a sexist attitude towards its employees.

I saw her on Fox News yesterday and she looked good and said she was 10 lbs LIGHTER than when she was hired.

Sadly, Uncle Doof was not Mr Travolta's stunt willie for said incident.

He effectively killed his own son, so I have zero sympathy for that whackjob.

It's unclear from the article if the dogs were leashed and attended when they were hit.

His son suffered from chronic seizures. Scientology does not believe mental illnesses exist, they also refuse to believe that medicines that directly affect the brain work.

At the request of the Church of Scientology, Travolta took his son off the only drugs that helped control Jett's seizures. After Jett was taken off the drugs, he had a seizure, fell, hit his head on the bathtub, then died.

This is clearly a case of unintended consequences. Have you no room in your heart for compassion for John?

If his son had simply slipped in the bath tub and died, yeah, I'd feel sorry for him. But this was something that was relatively easily preventable. The doctors warned him what the risks were if he took his son off the anti-seizure medicine. He ignored them and his son died. There was nothing unintended about it.

About as much compassion for a repeat drunk driver getting behind the wheel and killing someone. Pretty much none.

Leave him alone. He's just pissed because the Sharks will be eliminated from the playoffs by the end of game 4.

That's not nice. He was just describing the situation which prompted his lack of sympathy for John Travolta. That shouldn't necessitate starting a blog, should it?

LOS ANGELES — John Travolta and Kelly Preston are having a baby. The couple released a statement on their websites Tuesday saying that they "are expecting a new addition to our family."

Travolta's publicist, Paul Bloch, confirmed Wednesday that Preston is pregnant.

The 47-year-old actress and 56-year-old actor have a daughter, Ella, who is 10. The couple's son, Jett, died last year at age 16. The family's two dogs were killed Thursday in an accident at Maine's Bangor International Airport.
