In a post on his website titled “A mother’s day gift for Kelly,” Travolta, 59, detailed how Preston “was so happy with my Mother’s Day video to her, we wanted to share it with you.”

The video — set to the song “That Face” by Barbra Streisand — begins with the Saturday Night Fever star telling his wife of 21 years, “From me, to you.”

It is scattered with private photos from the pair’s family album, including some of the wedding shots and never-bef0re-seen images of their three children, Jett, who died in 2009, Ella Bleu, 12, and Benjamin Hunter Kaleo, 18 months.

It also includes recent images of John kissing Kelly. The four-minute and 35-second video ends with the words: “With all my love, Johnny.”

Check out the video below and screen grabs from the heartwarming footage in the gallery above.

On her website, 49-year-old Preston wrote about the unique gift, saying: “My husband, Johnny, made his directorial debut creating a special Mother’s Day video for me. I was so moved and love it so much that we wanted to share it with all of you. Happy Mother’s Day to anyone who mothers a child.”

It was posted to both of their sites on May 11, just days after sexual harassment allegations were lobbed against the actor.

As Celebuzz has reported, John Doe No. 1 alleged, in court papers, the Hollywood star groped him during a massage session in Beverly Hills in January, while John Doe No. 2 claimed that Travolta rubbed his leg, touched his genitals and tried to initiate sex at a private appointment at an Atlanta hotel on January 28.

John Doe No. 1 and attorney Okorie Okorocha parted ways Friday and withdrew their suit after Travolta presented contradictory evidence.

John and his fam were snapped by the paps after enjoying a nice family dinner at the famous Chinese restaurant, Dave, near the Palais Royal in Paris. Yum, yum! 

Benjamin was welcomed to the family this past November, a little over a year after the tragic death of their 16-year-old son Jett. After spending some time in seclusion, the family made their way back into the public eye – and back in front of the cameras.

John is currently connected to the big profile project GOTTI: In The Shadow Of My Father. He will play notorious mob boss John Gotti Sr. – Kelly is part pf the film, playing his wife. The movie is set for release in 2013. 

In the meantime, the family spent their Father’s Day (in part) by visiting the Eiffel Tower. Fun times! 

more cute celebrity kids!

]]> John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston are proud parents to a brand new baby boy!

Benjamin Travolta was born on Tuesday in Florida, tipping the scales at 8 lbs., 3 oz. according to a statement released to PEOPLE.

In the statement, the family says: “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.”

The birth of Benjamin isn’t just a miracle due to the fact that Preston is 48 years old. It also has massive emotional significance, as the family now has a new son in the family following the tragic death of 16-year-old Jett Travolta in early 2009.

Jett died following a fatal seizure while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas.

This time around we have an addict mom, a Twilight-obsessed actress, and a closeted future daddy. Let us know in the comments who your guesses are for the items.

Shoot ‘Em Up:

I know I have not written about Coke Mom in awhile, but I may have found someone better. Well, not a better mom, but this person is a much bigger star. Much. Like A list movie actress big or very, very close to it. Anyway, our actress has always come across as the victim or the martyr in her personal life. However, if you dig a little deeper under the surface you will see that she has issues. Now that she is alone again she has big issues. While you may see her with her child/ren out on the streets or something, that is the only time she spends with her child/ren. The rest of the time she sits in her bedroom, watching movies and television and shooting up. She has the most ridiculous heroin habit and the only time she sees sunlight is when she takes her child/ren somewhere to keep up appearances. (Crazy Days and Nights)

Halle Berry‘s name is a popular guess, but we think of her as a solid A-list actress. Plus, she doesn’t look like a junkie.

Sucker for Twilight:

This celebrity who has stated publicly that she’d like to be in a Twilight film has a hidden obsession with vampires. Although she is a gigantic fan of the series, it is not her first time. She started reading other books in the vampire genre as a girl. She boasts to have read every book written on the subject. She’s part of an online vampire community where the members send each other letters written in their own blood. She’s done midnight séances with her online friends and has allegedly even tasted the blood of someone from her ‘den.’ Not Paris Hilton. (BuzzFoto)

We know Lindsay Lohan had an obsession with vampires for some time but we don’t know if she could take a night out of clubbing to do a midnight seance.

Chained To Child:

This couple is expecting. No secret there. What is a secret, however, is what was happening behind closed doors before the baby was announced. Things had been rocky in this couple’s marriage for the past few years. The more she pushed her agenda on him, the more unhappy he became. After a particularly rough patch, Husband decided that he was going to do three things: get out of the marriage; tell the truth about what had been going on for the past few years; and come out of the closet.

Wife was desperate to keep any of those three things from happening. She decided to do something quite devious and drastic. The couple had stored up some fertilized eggs earlier in their marriage. (You didn’t think they conceived naturally, did you?) So she went behind his back and had some of the remaining fertilized eggs implanted, hoping that one would take. It did.

To say that the husband was shocked and absolutely furious with her for doing this behind his back would be an understatement. He does not want this baby. His plan right now is that, if she loses the baby, he will wait a couple of months and then bolt so he doesn’t look like the bad guy. However, if the baby is born, he knows that his primary role will be that of playing the proud and happy father. After all, he is an actor. So until the baby issue is resolved… back in the closet he goes.

There have been rumors about John Travolta being gay for some time and he and wife Kelly Preston have been going on and on about their “miracle baby,” so they seem like the most obvious choice.

Star magazine is reporting that the Hollywood couple are expecting twins.

According to a source, Kelly and John just learned that the bun in Kelly’s oven is actually twins. From Star (via Huffington Post):

They were ecstatic when they thought they were having just one baby [...] Now that there will be two, they can barely contain their happiness!

While there were some previous concerns that the 47-year-old Kelly might have complications with the birth at her age (even though there are plenty of Hollywood moms who had kids well into their 40s) the couple doesn’t seem too concerned about it.

The news that Kelly is pregnant came after a string of tragedies for the Travolta family. Their eldest son Jett passed away last year and two of their dogs were recently killed in a freak accident in Maine.

It’s no secret that having a child after the age of 35 can run some health risks for women and their unborn baby, but if these famous women are proof of anything, it is that you can be a successful and healthy mom as you enter your golden years.

According to Us Magazine, Jaimee Grubbs—the Los Angeles cocktail waitress who claims to have bedded golf legend and apparent serial adulterer Woods—has also had an affair with legendary ladies’ man George Clooney. Which means that Clooney and Woods have just one degree of sexual contact separating them. Let that fact engulf your consciousness like a toxic cloud for a moment.

But, as enticing as it is, let’s set aside the vision of George and Tiger bound together in passionate bliss. Instead, let’s take a stroll through Clooney’s prolific dating history to discover who else, thanks to Jaimee Grubbs, can kind-of, sort-of lay claim to the dubious honor of being Tiger Woods’ other woman.

Lightbourne, 47, who’s been charged with attempting to extort and conspiracy to extort, is thought to be one of three suspects who allegedly sought $25 million from the actor to not publicize a written authorization to transport Jett Travolta via ambulance to the hospital, according to TMZ.

Jett, 16, had a seizure on New Year’s Day and died after hitting his head on a bathroom fixture, according to reports.

TMZ reports that there is also a fear that if Lightbourne is released on bail, he will find the document in question and destroy it.

Prosecutors were reportedly asking the judge to deny Lightbourne bail for this reason. He pleaded not guilty to attempted extortion and conspiracy.

It is not known why this document would result in public embarrassment for the Travoltas, although John and wife Kelly Preston were said to have had an issue over where Jett should be taken for emergency treatment.

TMZ reports that the Bahamian newspaper the Nassau Guardian ran a story claiming that the document was a “refusal to transport” document.

A source told the paper that the document “is signed by a party when refusing, for example, emergency medical services from trained personnel.”

The other two suspects in the extortion plot are former member of Parliament and lawyer Pleasant Bridgewater and Travolta family friend Obie Wilchcombe. Senator Bridgewater quit her Parliament position after being charged with abetment and conspiracy to extort. 

Her arraignment is scheduled for tomorrow.

Wilchcombe was detained and released but still under investigation. He is a Parliament member and a former Minister of Tourism.

He was reportedly indicated by Bridgewater in potentially sharing the extortion money.

Wilchcombe claims that he has had no involvement and was doing the right thing by informing John Travolta’s lawyers of the plot.

E! reports that the FBI are assisting in the investigation.

The memorial service for Jett Travolta was held at his family’s Ocala, Florida estate yesterday afternoon. E! reports that mourners included Sopranos star James Gandolfini, Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood, Kirstie Alley, and Lisa Marie Presley. The service was held by a female Scientologist minister, and under a tent on the estate’s lawn. Travolta and family reportedly entered when the rest of the guests were seated, and kissed a large photograph of Jett that was set up behind the podium after the service.

Heath Ledger was named Best Supporting Actor at the 14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards yesterday. E! reports that The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan spoke about the deceased actor’s work. “Anyone who’s seen any of the extraordinary work that Heath did knows that I can’t presume to speak for him in any way, because his voice was as unique as it was original. But…I know that I speak for all of us when I say that working with him was one of the greatest experiences any of us ever had or probably ever will have.”

Kevin Costner was taken to the hospital on Tuesday morning after phoning 911 from his car. TMZ reports that Costner, on his way to a business meeting in Hollywood, pulled over after feeling light-headed and then began vomiting. Costner was taken to Cedar-Sinai and kept overnight for tests, but released the next day.

Ugly Betty actress Ana Ortiz is pregnant with her first child, according to People. Ortiz, who is married to musician Noah Lebenzon, is expecting at the end of July. “They are thrilled and ecstatic,” a friend said. “They can’t wait to be parents.”

However, one notable fellow Scientologist was not on hand to pay his respects.

TMZ reports that Tom Cruise, 46, was stuck in New York taping an episode of The View, and was not available to attend the services.

The site points out that the episode will air on Friday. But while the ABC talk show is usually broadcast live, the ep will air tomorrow after being bumped by President-elect Barack Obama‘s economic stimulus speech.

Catch a preview of Tom from The View below, wherein he talks candidly about the passing of Jett.

Jett’s death was officially ruled as being caused by a seizure.

John Travolta, 54, and Kelly Preston, 46, also have an 8-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu.

On Monday the couple issued an official statement of thanks to their supportive fans, via Preston’s website.

“We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief,” they wrote. “We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives.”

Jett was found dead after suffering a fatal seizure in the bathroom of his family’s vacation townhouse in the Bahamas. There was also speculation that he may have hit his head on either the bathtub or toilet. According to the boy’s parents, he had suffered from  Kawasaki disease and experienced “frequent and extremely serious” seizures every four days.

The teen was found by the family nanny on the morning of January 2 and was pronounced dead at Rand Memorial Hospital. His body was cremated and flown back to Florida on Monday.

The service will apparently not be a celebrity-oriented affair. TMZ further notes that, while the Hilton hotel in Ocala has reserved 17 rooms for memorial attendees, the only guests seen so far are “doctor/lawyer types.”

Lisa Marie Presley has blogged about the death of Jett Travolta, according to Us. Presley, a fellow practitioner of Scientology and friend to John Travolta and Kelly Preston, asks the public not to believe that Scientologists refuse their children medical care due to their religion. “Whatever medical and or physical condition Jett had, I can tell you first hand that his parents were on a tireless, never-ending quest to get and provide him with the absolute best care anyone could ever ask for and need — medically, physically, emotionally, medicinally and spiritually,” she writes.

A drunken Josh Brolin allegedly used his acceptance speech at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards to blast New York Times theatre critic Ben Brantley. Brolin, who won a supporting actor award for his role in Milk, became heated when recalling Brantley’s negative review of his work in a Broadway production of Sam Shepard’s True West in 2000. “Ben Brantley – honestly I hate that mother[bleep]er! And I don’t think he’s a good writer,” Brolin said and acknowledged he’d been drinking, according to Page Six.

Mamma Mia! stars Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper have taken their relationship public. The couple were spotted at the Mahiki nightclub in London’s Mayfair section last night in an intimate embrace. “They really were all over each other, sharing a Treasure Chest [Mahiki's signature cocktail]. They were kissing and holding hands, and being very tactile with each other,” a source tells The Daily Mail. Both were seeing other people when they began filming in 2007, and Seyfriend admitted in an interview in June that they had an on-set relationship that ended before the release of the film.

The backers of the current Broadway production of David Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow reportedly want an investigation into actor Jeremy Piven‘s recent exit from the play due to alleged mercury poisoning. Page Six reports that the production was one week away from returning its $3.5 million investment last month when Piven fled the production due to reportedly high levels of mercury in his system. “You have an obligation to your investors to make sure he did not get out of this in an illegal way,” a Broadway producer said when asked for comment. “You have recourse, and if I had suspicions, I’d nail him.”

“We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences,” Travolta, 54, and Preston, 46, said in a statement posted on Preston’s official website.

“Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered,” continued the statement. “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 hope for a brighter future.”

A source close to the Travoltas has told People that Jett’s death was caused by a “seizure disorder” while the family was vacationing.

The autopsy on the teenager was conducted today. No official results have been disclosed.

As there was no foul play involved, Jett’s body has been released to the family and will be transported back to Florida.

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell have welcomed twin girls, according to Howard Stern. Us reports that the radio host made the announcement on his Sirius show this morning. Names and status of the twins and Romijn are unknown. The model/actress had to skip Stern’s October wedding because she was on bedrest for her pregnancy.

Tara Reid has not left rehab, despite reports. People had run a story claiming that Reid had left Promises in Malibu, CA after just three weeks of treatment but her rep tells E! that the story is “not true.” People has removed the story since the denial. Reid’s exact addiction is unknown at this time.

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson‘s Marley & Me is still #1 at the box office for the third week in a row, having grossed $106 million domestically, according to Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood Daily. Aniston ex Brad Pitt‘s film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is in third place, grossing $79 million after Adam Sandler‘s Bedtime Stories ($85 million).

The economic recession has even affected the NBA’s Shaquille O’Neal. Page Six reports that O’Neal, superstar center of the Phoenix Suns, has lowered the asking price of his Star Island, Fla estate in Miami from $35 million to $25 million.

Police are reporting that Jett was left alone for more than ten hours from when he was last seen heading to his bedroom at the Travolta’s vacation townhouse at 6 PM after a day of boating with his family. Jett’s nanny, Jeff Kathrein, reportedly found Jett lying on the bathroom floor at 11:30 PM, TMZ reports.

Jett Travolta, who was disabled, was nonverbal and required the use of a baby monitor and a special chime to summon his two male nannies if required.

Kathrein and the Travolta’s attorney, Michael McDermott, says that Kathrein went to the bathroom in the time span between 6 PM when Jett left the room and 11:30 PM when his body was discovered so Jett was reportedly not unattended for ten hours.

The teenager is alleged to have possibly had a seizure and struck his head, which could have caused his death. McDermott also reports that Jett was known to sleep for 12 to 16 hours a day so him not being present for a long period of time would not have been unusual.

The official cause of death will be reported by the coroner on Monday.

Their attorney reports that Jett’s parents John Travolta and Kelly Preston have “stopped crying long enough last night to try to write a press statement, which they haven’t finished.”

Rand Memorial Hospital, a medical center in the Bahamas, confirmed the passing.  The family was vacationing on Grand Bahama Island, where attempts to revive the teenager were unsuccessful after he suffered a seizure, said family attorney Michael Ossi.

A police spokesperson also told TMZ that Jett struck his head in a bathtub of the family home, at Old Bahama Bay Hotel.

Jett, survived by eight-year-old little sister Ella, has long been rumored to be autistic. The family’s official position has been that Jett was afflicted with Kawasaki disease.

Kawasaki is a treatable disease that effects the skin and lymph nodes. If left untreated, it can cause heart complications. This is obviously a time of great sadness in the Travolta household. They have lost a cherished member of their family:

Reps for Travolta and Preston have been contacted for comment.
