Hukd, I love John Travolta but hearing stuff like this really makes me angry. I wonder how quick they would change their minds if they had a child with a mental illness. Of course, they would probably just put the child through one of their brainwashing sessions to cast out the thetans. <------takes deep breath and counts to 1000

Well there are those persistent rumors that Travolta's son is autistic. http://celebrities.netscape.com/story/2007/05/11/john-travolta-refuses-to-treat-his-autistic-son/ http://www.parentdish.com/2007/05/11/does-john-travolta-abuse-his-autistic-son/

If the Travoltas' son is indeed autistic and they are doing nothing, regardless of the form or severity, to try to improve their son's way of life, how very sad. Here I am praying that I had the financial resources to help my son in ways that are beyond my means and here is a couple who have the world at their feet and they allegedly do nothing because some science fiction writer created a religion based on his creative imagination.

Or maybe they're doing something holistic?? I don't know. They both seem like very intelligent people and I just can't imagine them doing nothing at all.

Mocha, I can't imagine them doing nothing either which I why I inserted "allegedly" in my post. After all, these are the parents who promote organic household cleaning products after one or both of their kids became almost fatally ill from carpet cleaning products.

Unfortunately, intelligence and irrationality are not mutually exclusive.

I'm a bit late for the party but that photo of Tom and Kate screams "Stepford Wives".

I can't see them doing nothing either. I'm sure they don't publicly acknowledge it but then again, it's their family business, not ours.

Last month there was an article in People about Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete's son. He is austic as well. Holly was intent on trying to mainstream her son.

Travolta is scientologist and I think they have different methods for many things, so maybe they are doing something the scientology way remember how Tom said Katie wouldnt scream during birth??

Autism--that's a tough one. Every autistic child is different in how he responds to education. In my school, we have several autistic children and we mainstream them as much as possible. It is fabulous for these children (their parents are thrilled with their improvement in social skills) but brutal on the classroom teachers who are near the breaking point by the end of the year. I don't know much about the medication for these children as it varies from child to child and not all parents believe in it but I completely believe that unconditional love, consistent structure with appropriate consequences for good and bad behaviour, and inclusion in a regular classroom of their peers is the best thing for them...as it is for everyone but especially these special needs kiddos. The best thing for the teachers is to have a full time aide or smaller classes or both.

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon is expecting twins with her husband, talent agent Michael Nilon, her rep tells PEOPLE. "We are over the moon and feel very blessed," Beauvais-Nilon says. The twins, due this fall, will join Oliver, the actress's 15-old son from a previous marriage. Beauvais-Nilon, who has appeared in TV's NYPD Blue and The Jamie Foxx Show, will next be seen in the thriller I Know Who Killed Me, starring Lindsay Lohan and Julia Ormond. Her husband is an agent for Creative Artists Agency. The couple wed in a private ceremony in Los Angeles in May 2001.

The City Attorney that insisted Paris Hilton serve her time is in so much trouble himself. His own wife is guilty of many of the charges against Hilton, plus she had an arrest warrant issued. That guys career just went down the toilet.

Oh her! I was so jealous of her cuz she got to make out with Henry Simmons! I used to curse her weekly. OK, well good for her. Yes, Rosie. It is karmic justice. She even crashed a city-owned vehicle and then he billed the city for it. Incredible.
