John Travolta First Public Appearance: "We Appreciate the Love" John Travolta made a surprise appearance with his wife and daughter at Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim today to promote their new movie, Old Dogs. This is the first public event for Travolta since the tragic death of his 16-year-old son, Jett, in January. "We appreciate the love," he said quietly to the crowd of fans, who gave the star and his family a standing ovation. Wife and Dogs costar Kelly Preston kept her hand on the shoulder of daughter (and other costar) Ella Bleu, while Disney chair Dick Cook complimented the whole family's performance in the movie. When asked if he planned to do more Disney movies, Bolt star Travolta replied, "I'd like to do seven or eight more." Old Dogs casts Travolta and Robin Williams as two big-business bachelors who, when one discovers he has a set of twins, have to adapt their kiddie-free style. In June, Travolta bowed out of the press tour for his new film The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 because he and his family needed "additional time to reconcile [their] loss." Gotta say, it's great to see his family healing and back to work. http://www.eonline.com....

Sad to hear about Maura. I am ready to see her on TV again. She's a fav of mine. I am always curious...when I hear a breast cancer diagnosis, is it invasive or DCIS?

So what did you guys think of Kanye West getting on stage when Taylor Swift won her VMA award, and taking her mic and basically saying Beyonce deserved the award, not Taylor? I will never download or buy ANYTHING of his. The names I want to call him would get my post modded.

Naja...I thought this: Kanye...no class, no grace, weak man. Beyonce...total class, absolute grace, strong woman.

Similar to what I said in another thread, it was an incredibly nasty thing of Kanye West to do and this seems to be something he does a lot. I think it was wonderful of Beyonce to invite Taylor back up to the stage like she did. I like both Beyonce and Taylor both in the way they act and their contributions to music. Two of my favorite singers by far.

How lovely that Mr West's behavior brought out the best in that crew! Ms Pickler's grace is especially notable. It's demonstrative of our national coarsening: one person commits a foolish act, then a parade of people come along to condemn him by displaying even worse behavior.

Did you see what Kathy Griffin posted: officialkathyg: Thanks Kanye. Love, Kathy about 12 hours ago from web Guess she got a ton of new material, LOL. I think his career (or what was left of it) is going the same place as Chris Brown's, i.e. nowhere.

Ditto, Kitt. What Kanye did is far worse than the reactions he is getting because of it.

Would be nice if the site was readable.. for me there is an ad that covers the article and will not go away. Kathy Griffin and I know she's really popular, but frankly for me she is bottom of a very nasty barrel and I avoid her like the plague. I missed the whole thing, was watching tennis, but it sounds most unpleasant except the part where Beyonce invited Taylor on stage with her. Nice touch and showed class.

We all know it's not Kathy's style of music, so she's showing her *** on this one and I usually like Kathy. Taylor is my daughter's role model. Beyonce is also a role model! Em plays all of Taylor's songs on her guitar and sings along with her youtube videos.

I think Kathy is saying "thanks" not because she thinks what he did was a good thing, but for the reason Holly said -- this is going to give her a TON of new material. This is exactly the kind of nutty behavior she bases a lot of her material on. This is pure gold for her act.

That's totally what Kathy was saying, Brenda. Translation of Kathy's tweet "Thank you Kanye for acting like an ass and giving me tons of material". And Kathy is far from bottom of the barrel. She works hard for gay rights and is genuinely behind the cause.

I think with regard to what West's peers tweetied about him, it's adults going after another adult after he did something inane...as opposed to an adult going after a child for no reason whatsoever. FWIW...West is on Leno's new program tonight, in an appearance with Jay Z. He probably thought he was buying some publicity for his appearance on that show. I think he sort of lives by that credo that says any publicity is good publicity, since he seems rather adept at this sort of thing.

That sounds more like a reasonable explanation for Kathy's post. I am a fan of hers.

This is sad: http://www.popeater.com/2009/09/14/ethan-zohns-cancer-returns-i-have-never-been-so-scared/
quote:Ethan Zohn's Cancer Returns: 'I Have Never Been So Scared' After three months of chemotherapy to treat a rare form of Hodgkin's disease, 'Survivor: Africa' winner Ethan Zohn was feeling pretty good. He was active, preparing for a marathon and "feeling great." But then came a call from his doctor on Aug 26, throwing cold water on his success. "My cancer is back," he tells PEOPLE, in discussing post-chemo tests that showed re-growth of tumors in his chest. "I have never been so scared in my life, for my life." The original mango-sized mass has actually shrunk in size, but now he says there are two small nodules in a different location. "It's quite rare that not only is there re-growth, but that there's re-growth so quickly. I was obviously resistant to the first form of chemotherapy." He was first diagnosed in April and the treatment he endured robbed him of his strength and of course his trademark shaggy locks. Now, doctors have prescribed him a stem cell transplant aimed at "hitting the reset button" on his body. The treatment will take place in three stages: He's already spent three days receiving a combo of chemo called ICE. In a couple weeks, he'll return for a four-day ICE session. At that time, doctors will be harvesting and freezing healthy stem cells from his body. "In the final and most difficult stage, I will be admitted to the hospital for 30 days (yes a whole f'ing month), to get my final chemotherapy session to start my stem cell transplant." Telling his parents about his dire condition was of course not easy for the upbeat Zohn. "My mom was obviously upset," Zohn says. "My brothers -- everyone's upset. They can't believe it's what's happening. But on the flip side, everyone's positive and supportive." But he adds, "You have to think positive. And you have to find the strength, which I will. And you have to rely on other people, which I will."

As for my feelings about Kathy Griffin, they stand. Not sure why I would give her a pass for being terminally annoying (to me) because she is involved with gay rights.. what I saw of her on Design Star was using tired gay stereotypes with her straight designer. Not very amusing.

If you had a 15 year old daughter you would know her, Tish! LOL It's nice to have a good role model. I read that about Ethan, so sad. I took it as Kathy was saying thanks for all the new material for her standup act...she doesn't tend to suffer fools gladly.

All of the information I have from "behind the scenes" says Taylor is a wonderful role model for your daughters to have, FWIW. Sadly, it seems Kanye could use a good role model.

The brightest spot to me was what Beyonce did. Annie, that is probably true, but I wish she had something kid to say to the non-fool, Taylor.
