Sorry, I couldn't let this pass without comment. For those of you who haven't heard, John Travolta and Kelly Preston's 16-year-old son Jett has died after suffering an apparent seizure and hitting his head in their townhome while on vacation in the Bahamas.

Tragic, tragic -- is there anything worse? Yes, and that's the entertainment media jumping on the Scientology-bashing bandwagon, claiming that the couple weren't medicating their son for his seizures because of their religious beliefs! How truly awful!

It's not horrible enough that their beloved child has passed, but now they have to endure public bashing over how they lived with him. Shame, shame on the media!

Yes, I'm a fan of Big John. I've enjoyed many of his films and have always had a soft spot in my heart for him. And his long-term marriage to the gorgeous Preston has been a bright light among the usual short-term Hollywood unions. I was thrilled when his career was revived by the genius of Quentin Tarantino in Pulp Fiction.

I vividly remember when Princess Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris in 1996, seeing John Travolta on TV emotionally offering support to her two sons, Princes William and Harry, whom he never even met. He had me in tears then, and my heart goes out to him and his family now!

I'm not a fan of Scientology. I've read Dianetics, and if I were ever to choose a religion based on science fiction, I'd choose Jedi.

But, really, to kick a family when they're this far down is just bad form. Again, shame on the media!

So, so sorry John & Kelly -- thoughts and prayers are with you.
