JOHN TRAVOLTA ON SCIENTOLOGY: DON’T ASK DON’T TELL

We can’t help wondering about John Travolta’s current ties to Scientology. At one time John was such a high ranking member that it was said he could get away with murder. John was the most powerful celebrity “church” member until Tom Cruise came along. He’s been a member since 1975 (remember the Battlefield Earth debacle?) but rumors are circulating that he is now distancing himself from the organization. They started after his wife Kelly Preston died of breast cancer in 2020. John praised the medical team that treated his wife, but it’s noteworthy that Scientologists are vehemently AGAINST traditional medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Last year, John sold his big house in Clearwater, Florida, where Scientology headquarters are located, and didn’t look back. (Tom Cruise still has a house there) Nowadays John doesn’t say anything negative about Scientology, nor does he bring up the subject. He certainly does not want to anger the powerful and controlling church – bad things might happen. So if he DOES discreetly slip away from Scientology, we probably won’t know about it…

WHY CHAD ROGERS LEFT “MILLION DOLLAR LISTING” IS STILL A MYSTERY

Chad Rogers’ departure from “Million Dollar Listing” remains something of a mystery – but his lawyer is hell-bent on controlling everything that’s written about it. Reporter Rob Owen at the Pittsburgh Post – Gazette quoted Bravo’s president as saying that Chad’s departure was a “mutual” decision. Chad’s lawyer went nuts and sent a threatening letter to Owen accusing him of false allegations and insisted that it was solely Chad’s decision to leave the series – Bravo wanted him to stay. Touchy. Touchy. Chad says since his name became “internationally recognized” he is far too busy with his real estate. The somewhat narcissistic realtor remarked “I wish I could clone myself so I could do everything, but there is only one Chad Rogers.” (He refers to himself in the third person?) We will miss him because it was so much fun speculating about his sexual preference. (He and his TV girlfriend have since broken up.) Hopefully, we will eventually run into talkative Bravo VP Andy Cohen and get more details.
