I know we are all focusing on the negativity that Will Smith caused at the Oscars. However, there were a lot of positive things that happened during the Academy Awards. Things like Troy Kotsur winning the Oscar and Lady Gaga telling Liza Minnelli, “I got you.”
While those were in front of the camera, there was something really sweet happening behind the scenes.
During the In Memoriam, Jamie Lee Curtis paid tribute to the late Betty White by holding a puppy from Paw Works that needed a home. I say needed because Mac N Cheese is living with her new family. John Travolta shared the happy news, “Ben adopted this dog from last nights Oscar tribute to Betty White. Thank you @curtisleejamie & @pawworks”
Curtis explained how it all happened. “A MAGICAL ending to the story from last night. At the Oscars I reconnected with my friend, John Travolta. @johntravolta We starred together in the movie PERFECT back in 1984. I had already left the Dolby theater last night after honoring Betty White and was on my way home when someone texted me a photo of John holding little mac & cheese in the green room before his presentation of the best actor Oscar. I thought it was so beautiful to see him with her and then today I found out that he and his son, Ben have adopted beautiful little mac & cheese and are taking her home today,” the actress wrote. “It is an emotional end and a perfect tribute to Betty White and it shines a light and AMPLIFIES the message that heroes who, like Betty, and Chad from @pawworks and Nancy from @perfect_pet_rescue and the team at @maedayrescue and the hundreds of thousands of other rescues, who love and support ANIMALS, that rescuing animals and offering them shelter from the storm of life and a warm and loving home is one of life’s most important actions we humans can take! #adoptdontshop”
Talk about six degrees of separation, Betty White worked with Jamie Lee Curtis in You Again, and she also worked with Travolta in Perfect. And now Travolta is working with Mac N Cheese on The Luckies Puppy.
Too bad Mac N Cheese is a girl because Oscar would’ve been an excellent name for her. However, since she is a girl, maybe they can go with Adele Dazeem. Too soon?
We all have at least one friend that no one would expect us to be friends with them. For John Travolta, it is Tommy Lee. But they are such good friends that they text each other on Wednesday night.
What do they talk about? The actor and the drummer talk about making brownies. Not special brownies, but the ones that you can serve to kids.
Celebrities are just as boring as you and me. How sad.

Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta reunited for a Capital One commercial, and Christmas came early this year for us. I have no idea what was going on, but it brought a smile to my face that I can’t turn upside down. It is the joy that 2020 has been longing for, and we finally got it.
Now, we need someone to give them a holiday movie because Travolta is a natural Santa Claus. It can be an odd couple film like Santa and Krampus, or in Jackson’s case Crapmus. Just one requirement, Quentin Tarantino can’t direct it. It needs to be a comedy and not a bloodfest.
Kelly Preston has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer at the age of 57, according to her loving husband John Travolta.
It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while. But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal.
All my love,
JT
Kelly Preston began her acting career in 1980, but her biggest role came at the end of the decade. That is when she met her husband John Travolta on the set of the 1989 movie The Experts.
By then, she was an expert in acting thanks to roles in Secret Admirer and Twins. As the century was rounding out, she was seen in movies like Jerry Maguire, Holy Man, and Jack Frost. In this century, we watched her in Sky High, The Last Song, Casino Jack, and her final project Gotti with her husband.
Which brings me to her greatest role, and that was mother to their three children Jett, Ella Blue, and Benjamin. Jett passed away in 2009 from a seizure. Their late son also suffered from autism, and she blamed chemicals for causing it. When he was child, she switched away from harmful chemicals, and talked about that in several interviews.
Before she settled down with Travolta, she was married to Kevin Gage, dated George Clooney, and she was briefly engaged to Charlie Sheen. However, it was her last her love that was her greatest love.
Today, let’s honor her spirit that was as beautiful as her by watching one of her many movies and television appearances.

Before John Travolta was an Air Force Major in Broken Arrow, he was an Army recruit. Even when he was 19 back in 1973, he knew how to use his charm on the ladies.
