John Travolta Gets German Appreciation!

In recognition for his career achievements, American actor, dancer and singer John Joseph Travolta, commonly known as John Travolta will be given honor with the Golden Camera best actor international award at the Golden Camera event, which is to be held in Berlin, Germany on the 5th of February. Being honored with the best actor international award, it's 'a huge honor' for him, John said in an interview that many positive things have happened to him and his family over a past few months.

Speaking of positive things happening in his life, let's talk about John and Kelly Preston's new born baby, Benjamin. The charming little one came into the world two months ago. The couple has recently revealed Benjamin's pictures in a leading magazine photo spread.

Preston is 48, she and John were trying to conceive another child for the past three years. With the news of she being pregnant last year, the couple were "blown away," they said in the interview accompanying the photo spread.This would probably be Preston's last baby as she will be on the verge of her menopause now.

The couple's first son Jett was born in 1992 but left too soon on 2009, when he suffered a seizure during a family holiday to Bahamas. Their second child, Ella Bleu was born in 2000 and she was waiting outside the delivery room on November 23, 2010, when her little brother came into the world. John held Preston's hand during her delivery.

John Travolta-Akki to dance on stage together?

John Travolta’s visit to Mumbai at a time when Akshay Kumar’s retro John Travolta act in Vipul Shah’s Action Replayy is hotting up, appears to be an uncanny coincidence.

Vipul Shah has noticed the favourable turn of fortune too. His production team is right now busy negotiating with Travolta’s office to work out an audacious collaboration between Travolta and his desi counterpart Akshay Kumar.

Yes, the two will be dancing together at a live event. Vipul is in serious talks for this historic coming together.

Akshay Kumar who loves collaborating with international entertainers (Kylie Minogue in Blue, Snoop Dogg in Singh Is Kinng, RDB in Kambakkht Ishq) has also pitched in very strongly for an evening of collaborative Saturday Night Fever.

Akshay is apparently using his Canadian connection to convince convince Travolta to get jiggy on stage with the Kumar.

When contacted Vipul Shah tries to underplay the excitement of a Travolta-Kumar concert. “There are talks going on. But talking about it would only make things difficult. You see, negotiating with an international star is painstaking. Water-tight contracts have to be drawn up. Unquestionable deals have to be sealed. We’re in the process of doing all that. But like I said I can’t talk about it until the papers are signed. ”

While Vipul plays it safe it is reliably learnt that Travolta’s songs and dances from Saturday Night Fever and Grease are being handpicked as part of this historic live performance.

Let’s hope Travolta would have more to do in Akshay’s presence on stage than the other Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone had to do in Kambhakkt Ishq.

Kelly Preston is having an 'easy' pregnancy

The 47-year-old actress – who is due to give birth to her third child with husband John Travolta later this year – is amazed and delighted at how smoothly the last few months have gone.

She said: “It's been very easy and so wonderful. I've had no morning sickness and the pregnancy has gone by so quickly. I feel terrific."

The ‘Last Song’ actress – whose 16-year-old son Jett died in January 2009 after suffering a seizure – is so excited about meeting her baby she is counting down the days until she gives birth.

She added to People magazine: “John and I are completely ready. My daughter is very excited too. I can't wait for the day to come."

Kelly - who also has a 10-year-old daughter Ella Bleu with the ‘Pulp Fiction’ actor - has previously confirmed she is expecting a boy.

‘Saturday Night Fever’ star John recently revealed his wife's pregnancy came after years of trying to conceive again, describing the moment they found out she was expecting as “a miracle”.

He explained: “We tried for several years, and we didn't think it was going to happen again for us.

“This is a miracle, and we feel blessed and we are so moved by the generous outpouring of support and goodwill we've received from people all over the world.”

Travolta Drops Extortion Charges

John Travolta has decided to drop the charges against the Bahamians who were attempting to extort them in connection to their son, Jett’s, death.

The two defendants in the case, Pleasant Bridgewater and Tarino Lightbourne, had attempted to extort millions of dollars from Travolta and his wife.

Bridgewater and Lightbourne tried to force the Travolta’s (John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston) to pay them a large sum of money in exchange for them keeping the ambulance waiver in connection with their son’s death, under wraps.

The first trial ended in a mistrial. Instead of going through the entire ordeal again, John and his wife opted to drop the charges. The couple doesn’t want to relive the horror of their son’s death and the subsequent attempt at a shake down.

The Bahamian prosecutors can choose to re-file the case later if they’d like, but it isn’t likely since Travolta doesn’t want to continue.
