The Travoltas Walk The Red Carpet For 'Old Dogs' Premiere'
I'd imagine the red carpet is the last place either John Travolta or Kelly Preston really want to be, but look at how happy they look at their daughter Ella Bleu's big screen debut!
Robin Williams, who also stars in 'Old Dogs,' talked about working with the Travoltas.
"It was fun to watch them watch her because it was her first movie."
One of Robin's children, daughter Zelda, is also an up-and-coming actress, making him compassionate for the emotions John is likely feeling. He said, "I think John probably has the same feeling about watching Ella. She's got the chops."
Lori Loughlin also attended the premiere with her children.
"I think it's just exciting for John to be in a film and Kelly to be in a film with Ella and I know it was really exciting for Ella to make her film debut with both of her parents."
And 'Old Dogs' co-star Seth Green promised Entertainment Tonight that the movie is "genetically engineered to make you laugh."
Does this sound like a good family movie to go see?

John Travolta And Kelly Preston Have Relied On Scientology To Cope With Son's Death
I still Cannot Even Imagine coping with the death of a child. John Travolta and Kelly Preston are breaking their silence as they promote their new film, 'Old Dogs,' which is also daughter Ella Bleu's big screen debut.
"We decided it was OK to come out and promote, to introduce her to the world and to give her a beautiful future in film," Travolta says during a round-table interview with the cast of the film.
"We've been working very hard every day as a family to heal."
John said this includes being around family, friends, and "almost daily religious counseling sessions."
"We have our own way of doing it, and it has been helping."
Both John and wife Kelly Preston said they appreciated all the support they've received.
Preston says the "outpouring of love from, really, worldwide has been extraordinary. It's been our friends, our family, our church. We partake in spiritual counseling pretty much daily.
"It's a tricky thing," she says. "Sometimes, something that's right for the moment is not right the next day. Being with people who are important to you, being with people that you love, I think that's what has primarily helped us the most. Sometimes, being alone, too."
Both John and Kelly declined to comment on the extortion case, which ended in a mistrial last month and will have to be retried.
'Old Dogs,' which also stars Robin Williams, is scheduled for release November 25.

John Travolta And Kelly Preston Attend Scientology Event
John Travolta and Kelly Preston were the surprise guests at a Scientology event in England. The Hollywood couple – who are still mourning the death of their 16-year-old son Jett, who tragically died in January – made a rare public appearance at the 25th anniversary of the International Association of Scientologists at Saint Hill Manor in East Grinstead, West Sussex, last weekend.
John and Kelly were joined at the event by fellow followers Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and their three-year-old daughter Suri.
While John and Kelly remained quiet throughout the event, Tom – who is one of the sci-fi cult’s most famous supporters – was very involved, especially when a choir took to the stage. An onlooker told Us Weekly magazine:
"Tom was swaying and looked like he was in heaven. He was really, really into it. Katie was next to him doing her best to look as enthusiastic. She was clapping along with the song, but was totally out of sync. Suri was standing by, looking a little bemused in a cute little party dress.
"John and Kelly were holding hands throughout the performance. They look like a very united couple."
Tom also gave a speech to the 4,000 guests, praising them for being part of the controversial religion. He told the crowd:
"Because we never took our eyes off the ultimate prize, we stand where we are today. We are in this together!"
I am happy to hear that Jonh and Kelly are beginning to attend events again, but I am certain their minds were elsewhere. You have to start somewhere. My thoughts will always be with them.

Kelly Preston Is Picking Up The Pieces
She will forever be broken, make no mistake about that... but Kelly Preston is starting to function again. I get goosebumps every time I think about her. It's all just too devastating. I ache for this family and for all other families that have to suffer losing a child.
The actress is ready to work again after the tragic death of her son.
The actress - who was left devastated when her 16-year-old son Jett with husband John Travolta suffered a fatal seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas in January - has been filming tough scenes for new movie 'Casino Jack' and it is helping her to deal with her grief.
The film's director George Hickenlooper said:
"She wanted to do this to get back to work. She talked to me about her loss. She is deeply affected by it and brought that to her character."
Earlier this month, it was revealed Kelly will speak publicly for the first time about Jett's death.
She will address the California Governor's Conference for Women in October, after being persuaded to by host Maria Shriver.
Maria said:
"If she can empower one other woman who feels like they can't get out of bed, or get through the day, whatever the loss, it'll be worthwhile sharing her story. She has been thinking about this for a couple of months. I asked her to speak and she knew about the conference and decided if she was only going to speak once, it would be here. She wants the conversation to be about more than just her."
Brave woman... andd it's true. Perhaps she can help other women dealing with the same issue.

The Travoltas Announce The Jett Travolta Foundation
John Travolta and Kelly Preston reportedly announced via their website (note: I was unable to get the Travolta website to open) that they have established a foundation in honor of their late son, Jett, named The Jett Travolta Foundation.
'The Foundation shall endeavor to use its resources specifically
to assist and provide relief to children with vision, hearing,
mobility, communication, behavior learning impairments or other special
medical, environmental, health or educational needs,' reads an
announcement on the family website.The endeavor will also provide grants to 'educate the public
about the need for a clean environment, provide relief and assistance
to children who are victims of natural or man-made disasters, and to
fund children's educational programs.'
Would-be donors are instructed to send a check or money order to the Jett Foundation's headquarters in Encino, Calif."
What a wonderful way to honor Jett's memory!
