(John REALLY looks different with that facial hair and bald head.) Ella is 9, and Jett, 16, is reportedly autistic. Because Scientology doesn't recognize autism or psychiatry, Travolta has never publicly admitted that his son is autistic and blames his disability on environmental causes - specifically "carpet cleaning chemicals." Jett speaks with difficulty and autism organizations (and certainly Jenny McCarthy) criticize the Travoltas for not giving their son autism treatment and education.
Oscar fashion is certainly being talked to death so we thought we'd point out some Oscar hair problems. John Travolta showed up with an odd new hairdo that resembled a black swim cap. This is the best photo we could find but there will surely be more revealing ones later. And Viggo Mortensen, who was SO sexy in Eastern Promises, appeared with this salt and pepper beard that really turned us off. He's covering all his cuteness. And Denzel only appeared briefly on the show but his facial hair did nothing for him either.

Back in the eighties, Jamie Lee Curtis starred in Perfect with John Travolta and the two of them represented aerobicized physical perfection. Now she's a full time mom and let her hair go grey. But we have to admit, she's still in way better shape than Travolta.
John Travolta who plays Edna Turnblad in the new movie Hairspray, is promoting the movie and doing lots of press interviews, but one network has been BANNED from talking to John. Travolta won't talk to the BBC. He holds a grudge against the British network since they had the nerve to produce a documentary "Scientology & Me" that has been stirring up controversy. Apparently he considers it to be an unflattering portrait of his group. Early reviews of Hairspray are not so hot either.

Aha! We just found out WHY John Travolta visited Hawaii dressed in black. Apparently the church of Scientology had a huge fundraising concert planned for May 24 at the Honolulu Design Center. Lisa Marie Presley was set to perform, among others. It was a $2500 a ticket fundraiser for Narcanon drug rehab. (Scientology was not mentioned in ads) and the church hoped at least a thousand Hawaiians would attend. But the local newspaper spelled out what many Hawaiians didn't realize - that Scientology backed Narcanon. Hawaiians stayed away in droves. The event was a total bust and when few tickets sold, they flew in Scientologists from the mainland and moved the concert to a restaurant. Lisa Marie avoided the whole debacle and flew to another island.

It's not often that American tourists vacation in Hawaii dressed all in black, but that's John Travolta's choice of apparel. Guess he thought it would be slimming. It looks like he's retained some of his Edna Turnblad figure from Hairspray. Actually we think a loose Hawaiian shirt would have been more flattering, since this black outfit appears to be straining at the seams. Right before this photo was taken, Travolta reportedly devoured Mexican food with french fries and mayonnaise on the side.
These are the two most interesting looks WE found at the Oscars: John Travolta's hairpiece doesn't quite match the color of the hair on the sides of his head, and the style is rather derivative of Hugh Grant. Usually his augmented hair is much more natural looking, as seen in his latest movie Wild Hogs. And Jack Nicholson's shaved head was a big surprise. Now we know he did it for his movie with Morgan Freeman, The Bucket List, about two cancer patients who take off on an adventure. The movie wrapped a week ago. When Jack first shaved his hair for the role, The National Enquirer was hot on his trail for a medical scoop, but he turned out to be okay.
It wasn't easy prepping John Travolta for reshoots for his movie Wild Hogs. The movie is about four suburban guys who hit the road on bikes looking for adventure and it stars Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H Macy and Tim Allen. Hogs wrapped last summer and since then, John filmed Hairspray, starring in drag as Edna Turnblad. He happily packed on a few pounds for the hefty Edna character, so when he was called in for Hog reshoots recently, he didn't look the same. Wardrobe had to scramble to alter stuff and find clothes that fit and disguised his size. Travolta's hair was a totally different color so it had to be re-dyed to match his Hogs hairpiece. Did you know he wears a full toupee that goes from temple to temple? When he's wearing a baseball cap it means he doesn't have his hairpiece on. The whole hair process was done in total privacy behind closed doors - presumably so nosey people like us won't take a photo.
