I’ve got a few updates on the tragic death of Jett Travolta, the oldest child of John Travolta and Kelly Preston.
First, there was an autopsy, and the cause of death was found to be seizure disorder. Parents John and Kelly have returned to Florida with Jett’s ashes; no word on a funeral yet.
Secondly, here’s the official statement from the Travolta family:
We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences.
Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives. We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us ahope for a brighter future.
There are some things that you just don’t want to hear coming out of the mouths of your favorite celebs, and right there at the top of the list would be advice on how to poop better. Yet, Gwyneth Paltrow has decided to bust through this barrier with her latest diatribe over at her nutty alternative health website, GOOP.com, along with a whole menu for a seven day cleanse diet. Here we go:
“If your bowel movements get sluggish, you can accelerate things by drinking half a cup of castor oil or using a mild herbal laxative. Bowel elimination is paramount for correct detoxification.”
Do you think she and best pal Madonna sit around and compare this kind of thing? I bet you anything that they do - it seems like the kind of topic that they would both really be enthusiastic about. That and exercising 16 hours a day.
Actor Patrick Swayze talked about his cancer and what he’s currently going through with Barbara Walters this week. Here’s what he had to say:
“You can bet that I’m going through hell,” Swayze says to Walters. “And I’ve only seen the beginning of it.”
“There’s a lot of fear here,” he adds. “There’s a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, I’m scared. Yeah, I’m angry. Yeah, I’m [asking] why me. Yeah, I’m all this stuff.”
He also added how he found out he was suffering from cancer: he tried to have some champagne on New Year’s Eve, and it felt like he was drinking acid (fun, right?). And the intestinal issues just started following right on top of each other: he couldn’t eat, was having massive pain, and he lost twenty pounds just like that. How scary! Last I heard, his body is responding well to treatment, so hopefully we’ll have him around for a while longer.
I am VERY excited about this movie, mostly because Dan Brown’s earlier book made into a movie, “The Da Vinci Code”, was so dang disappointing, and this book is about ten times better than Da Vinci (take my word for it - you need to read it!). Here’s the newest trailer:
Good no? I need to read the book again. Can’t wait!
While on vacation with his family in the Bahamas, the oldest son of John Travolta and Kelly Preson, Jett Travolta, died after apparently suffering a seizure.
He had suffered for a long time from Kawasaki disease, which can bring with it seizures as well as heart problems. Here are some more updates from TMZ:
UPDATE: 4:40 PM ET — Restview Memorial Mortuary and Crematorium in the Bahamas tells TMZ Jett’s body would be transferred to Restview on Monday.
UPDATE 4:54 PM ET — Police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey says Jett hit his head in a bathtub..
UPDATE 5:15 PM ET — Police just released more details. According to a report, Jett was last seen going into the bathroom at their private suite at the Old Bahama Bay Resort sometime yesterday. The body was discovered by the caretaker, Jeff Michael Kathrein, at 10:00 AM today. The report says Jett suffered from seizures.
An autopsy is being performed to determine the exact cause of death.
