Travoltas Debut Show Tune Loving Scientology Super Baby
John Travolta sings show tunes to his new son. Kate Hudson is pregnant. Tia Mowry is pregnant. Olivia Munn's see-through panties are getting people worked up. Wednesday gossip is all babies, all the time, with a side of sex.
- Like Moses staggering down from Mount Sinai to present Yahweh's 10 Commandment tablets to the Israelites, John Travolta and Kelly Preston stagger onto a cushy closed photo shoot this week, to unveil Scientology Super Baby 2.0, Benjamin Travolta, to the unwashed masses in People and Hello magazines. (System updates from Super Baby 1.0, Suri Cruise, include the addition of a penis.) Fun facts: Kelly and John had been trying for another child for three years; Kirstie Alley was present at Kelly's child labor; John likes to sing show tunes as lullabies, including Guys and Dolls' "A Bushel and a Peck." [People, Hello]
- Speaking of the Travoltas, they are launching a Jett Travolta Foundation, in honor of their late son, who died at 16. Jett's foundation will "help people with similar medical conditions to his." Seizures? Autism? Something that requires use of an e-meter? [Hello]
- Speaking of babies: Kate Hudson is pregnant! Unless this is like last time everyone thought she was pregnant, but it turned out she'd just eaten a sandwich. Apparently it's a "surprise" pregnancy with boyfriend Matt Bellamy and she's "embracing it." [Us, Popeater]
Olivia Munn did a sexy cover for Maxim, but is it too sexy? Her see-through panties are "disgusting. Maxim has moved their magazine from tawdry to full-on pornography." I've begun to pity Olivia Munn. No matter what she does, someone will say she's doing it wrong. [Maxim, HollywoodLife, Fox411]
- More babies: Miranda Kerr gave birth to a 10-lb baby boy with husband Orlando Bloom by her side. [Herald]
- Country duo The Bellamy Brothers say Britney Spears stole their song. "If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?" vs. "If said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" I can't decide whether it's original enough to warrant stealing in the first place. [TMZ]
Back to babies: Tia Mowry, one half of Sister, Sister and star of BET's The Game, is having one with husband and Battle: Los Angeles star Cory Hardrict. So many celebrity babies! This shit is starting to sound like a church newsletter, a non-stop stream of births and baby showers. [Us, image via Getty]
- Goldie Hawn's ex-husband Bill Hudson is shopping a memoir in which he discusses banging her "everywhere… airplane bathrooms, rooftops, under the covers in first class" and accuses daughter Kate Hudson of being a drama queen: "Kate has used the story of her being abandoned by me because she needed tragedy in her life. She grew up privileged in Hollywood with private planes." Somebody isn't going to get to meet the new baby. [P6]
- Confirming that which we already know, Nicole Kidman on Botox: "I even tried Botox but I didn't like how my face looked afterwards." She says she doesn't use it anymore. "I can move my forehead again." Hallelujah! [DailyMail]
- Sexually available teen wildebeest Taylor Lautner, earns eight figures per movie, including $7.5 million for Stretch Armstrong, despite the fact that he has yet to do what they call a "solo box office." But between the Twihards and his corrugated abs, everyone's pretty sure TayLaut's the next big thing. [Deadline]
- Katie Holmes is the new face of Ann Taylor. She is the dapper mommy whisperer. [P6]
- After partying with porn stars all weekend in Vegas, Charlie Sheen was MIA from the Two and a Half Men set. [TMZ]
- David Nelson, the last surviving member of the Ozie and Harriet family, has died of colon cancer. Rest in peace. [THR]
