John Travolta And Kelly Preston, What Will Their Future Hold?


Early “Promo” Picture Of John and Kelly

One of Hollywood’s big questions right now is whether John Travolta is having serious doubts about Scientology. Added to that question now is his future with wife Kelly Preston. They are having a very difficult time dealing with the loss of their son Jett who passed away this past January. I don’t think anyone ever gets over a death of someone that is near and dear to their hearts, and healing from a tragedy such as this can prove to be both exhausting and devastating.It is especially hard to function after a death if you are always under the microscope of paps and fans. But that is part of the package deal of being famous.

It was just announced that John and Kelly have backed out of being part of the  Maria Shriver’s Annual Women’s Conference this October, due to Kelly saying they were just not ready to speak out about their son’s death. Totally understandable. This cancellation was only one of many signs that their son’s death has really taken a huge toll on them.

But is it more of a toll for John than Kelly? John was too distraught to promote his most recent movie Pelham 123, and he has been seen recently packing on the pounds. But really who can blame him for wanting some comfort food?

Star Magazine, although not the most reliable or credible source for news, to say the least, just reported that John has been staying in bed most days, visiting Denny’s restaurant at 3 AM, and watching videos of son Jett and crying. All very normal behavior after a loss, as long as it doesn’t consume one’s life. Star is also reporting that John and Kelly are not staying together at the moment. Separation is not abnormal for many couples that have lost a child. It’s a common occurrence.

But what is a normal for Scientologists when it comes to grieving and death? As we have mentioned before in earlier articles, Scientology is not “too big” on death. They consider their bodies only as ”meat bodies” and that they will reincarnate and come back many many times. Grieving as well as many other emotions associated with death are deemed extremely low on the Scientology Tone Scale.

Scientology claims that emotions such as these can be handled and removed  by counseling and auditing on an e-meter. (which is basically a lie detector) 
But why? Why should NORMAL emotions be swept away? Anyone with half a brain knows that grieving and depression is a big part of healing, and to suppress it, can be a very slippery slope. If someone blocks these emotions, it may manifest itself in a bigger and much more harmful way down the road.

But suppression is one of Scientologys’ specialties among its followers. According to Scientologists, all  answers to life’s problems lie within the teachings of Scientology’s founder, the late L. Ron Hubbard.

Hubbard, a quack sci-fi writer, con man, and scam artist taught his followers that a person would be considered “out ethics” if they didn’t handle those emotions. Hubbard considered these emotions weaknesses, and if a member does not handle these emotions and get them under control, then that person is labeled a “PTS” or potential troubled source. To make it even sillier, things such as colds, headaches, injuries, or any other health problems, can also cause yo to be labeled a PTS.

What if someone is exhibiting mental problems? Well, they simply don’t exist according to Hubbard, and he also stated that anyone with a mental problem is a degraded being. Which really did not make a whole lot of sense to me, due to the fact that if mental problems don’t exist according to Scientology, then how do degraded beings exist? *scratches head*

Simple, because Scientologists are conditioned and taught to believe and accept whatever they are told according to Hubbard’s teachings, even though the contradictions are rampant.

How did Hubbard feel about homosexuals? He considered them perverts and that they should be cast from society and institutionalized.
In Hubbard’s own words from HIS  actual babblings from the Science of Survival, Book 1, Chapt. 13, at 90. 

“Such people should be taken from the society as rapidly as possible and uniformally institutionalized; for here is the level of the contagion of immorality, and the destruction of ethics;”

But then Scientology offers an alternative, from the same babblings from Science of Survival Book 1, Chapt. 13, at 89:

“The only answers would seem to be the permanent quarantine of such persons from society to avoid the contagion of their  insanities and the general turbulence which they bring to any order, thus forcing it lower on the scale, or processing such persons until they have attained a level on the tone scale which gives them value.”

So according to Hubbard, a person who is gay should be quarantined and that their insanities (gay) are contagious to other people in society, and they can only have value if they are processed through Scientology and then and only then they can attain a level that is on their Tone Scale.  So… did Hubbard think gays should be removed from society and institutionalized? Or they should be “processed”? Well, which was is it?
Both are beyond deplorable, and how anyone can follow and pay for these teachings, makes my blood boil.
 
I can only imagine how John must feel about all this wacky mumbo jumbo rolling around his brain which makes no sense what so ever. As far as Kelly goes, I am a bit confused about how she is handling her grief. I think she accepts just about anything she is told through Scientology’s teachings more so then John. I am not saying that she is not as distraught over her son’s death, I just think that she is handling it the “Scientology way” and erasing the feelings of grief and guilt and is moving on a lot faster than John. Of course one parent being able to move on faster than the other after a child’s death, is also normal. Especially for the fact that there can be a much more deep rooted connection between a son and father and mother and daughter or vise versa. It’s just that Scientology’s methods of “healing” are  not only harmful, but down right despicable, as they charge you to “heal”. Keep in mind, you are not really healing, you are blocking and suppressing your normal emotions.

Although Kelly did cancel the upcoming Conference this October, she was recently seen out with Miley Cyrus for dinner and chatting about an up coming movie they will be working on together called The Lost Song. Not too long ago Miley also did the movie Bolt with John. Careful Miley.. the cult would love to get their hands on your oodles of cash! You don’t want to achy break Billy Ray’s heart!

I certainly hope  that John has had some recent epiphanies or at least some serious seeds of doubt with the passing of his son, and questions the teachings hog wash of Scientology.

Taking his son off anti seizure medication was not favored by many of the general public and many thought that it was the wrong move, and made John and Kelly partly or totally responsible for the death of their son. Many believe that Jett should have been put on some other medciation immediately, rather than being put on Scientology’s Purification Rundown. The anti seizure medication, Depakote that Jett was taking is a psyche drug and totally unacceptable for a Scientologist. So unacceptable that some Scientologists considered John and Kelly as  SP’s (suppressive people). Although some Scientologists would argue that Depakote is not a pysche drug.

As you may or many not know, Scientology’s considers ANY psychiatric drugs an abomination. Which is one of the reasons why many Scientologists die way too early in life from many different afflictions. (even though their “clears” aren’t supposed to have any afflictions)  Fact both John and Kelly are listed as clears.

So why then are John and Kelly having so many problems?  Because Scientology simply doesn’t work.

 Now I don’t agree on the over drugging of children or anyone for that matter, and I think their is WAY too much drugging going on with both children and our senior citizens. But some people need certain medications to help them cope with their every day existence. Plain and simple.

So you can understand why there was such a turmoil with John and Kelly’s lives with having a child that was autistic. You see both Kelly and John are a very big advocates of the CCHR. The Citizen’s Commission On Human Rights. Their title is laughable considering Scientology’s total disregard for any of their member’s human rights.

Kelly Pictured At A Psychiatry Protest On The Right

The CCHR is one of Scientology’s many front groups which has a global plan for the total obliteration of psychiatry and psyche drugs. Videos have surfaced of current Scientology cult leader David Miscavige at an IAS (International Association of Scientologists) boasting about this obliteration of psychiatry and quoted in the video saying  that Scientology,

 ”booby trapped the whole psychiatric ecosystem”.

I kid you not.  If you haven’t watched it, it is worth the watch. Click here and be horrified. This video is VERY scary, and you have to wonder how it is legal for them to go after psychiatrists and have their licenses revoked and then celebrate about it. To hear the people cheering in the audience about Miscavige’s speech is reminiscent of Hitler.

Speaking of Hitler, in Scientology’s own words from their CCHR website they claim:

“Psychiatrists admit they created the euthanasia program and ideology that fueled Hitler’s holocaust.”

 Yes, you can go view all their wonderful Scientology fabricated “facts” and disturbing pictures of the holocaust at their Psychiatry An Industry of Death exhibit in California or their traveling exhibit. I would hope if this exhibit is scheduled to come to your town, you write to your town officials and put a stop to it.

Just One Of Many Horrific Pictures Inside the CCHR Exhibit

Both John and Kelly as well as BFF Kirstie Alley and other Scientology celebutards were present for the ribbon cutting for the permanent exhibit in California. Don’t get me wrong,  I am not a big fan of psychiatry for the most part, but again, some people desperately need it and have greatly benefited by it. I have yet to see any ACTUAL benefits from Scientology that was worth what they paid.

Back to the CCHR…
What makes the CCHR  even more disturbing is a group called the Office of Special Affairs aka OSA which is funded by donations to the CCHR. They are a group of “thugs” whose job is to dig into the private lives of any critics AND psychiatrists. They will do all and everything to Fair Game anyone is who is critical of Scientology, or ex Scientologists that have left and spoke out  by harassment and “dead agenting”them.
But wait it gets worse….

Both Kelly and John where also in Hawaii some years back to promote Narconon, which again, is another big Scientology front group.
Narconon’s program, consists of people enduring long hours of saunas which goes on for days. They ingest large amounts of oil and are required to do excessive amounts of exercise.They also must take large doses of niacin “vitamin bombs” which Scientology believes rids the body of all toxins. This method is also used for supposed drug rehabilitation and has been funded by towns of taxpayers not knowing  it had ties to Scientology.

This treatment which is called the Purification Rundown, (as I mentioned earlier) is also used in their other front group program Criminon in some jail systems. All the same program, all using the Scientology Tone Scale, with the same regiment of saunas,vitamins and exercise.  The only difference is Scientology using different front group names to deceive and confuse. More disturbing, is that this program is being administered by non professional people and has never been medically proven to work, and has been called quackery by many REAL doctors.  It also can be quite dangerous to the liver. Thus the numerous court cases which have popped up and continue to come.

Believe it or not, they had the NY Firefighters on this program after 9/11. Tom Cruise was even there with the firefighters. Of course Scientology snuck  in under the name  the NY Rescue Workers Detoxification Project.  Pretty sneaky huh?

Desperate people on drugs seeking help and town officials who do not do their homework can be convinced that this program works by their trumped up success numbers and trumped up testimonies. They were kicked out of a town in New Mexico last year, and left in the middle of the night and still owe over $600,00.00 in tax liens and 17,000 to the city for unpaid rent and utilities. Not to mention they released several dangerous inmates back into town. Of course they were going under the pseudo name of ”Second Chance”, but they were just another Scientology front group which was run by Scientologist and jewelry hawker Joy Westrum. How she is walking around a free women is beyond me.

So again… what does all this and the Purification Rundown have to do with John and Kelly? They put their son Jett on the same program hoping it would cure him. 

I have asked this question before…  how difficult would it be for a person to put a child with special needs on this rundown? I don’t understand how they were able to get Jett, who was obviously autistic through this exhausting and long treatment. It makes no sense at all. Anyone who has an autistic child can attest to the difficulties that would arise in trying to make an autistic child or any child for that matter, endure this treatment. It would be not only cruel for the child, but damn near impossible in some cases without the child being held down or drugged. No questions where ever asked pertaining to this treatment that John and Kelly admittedly put their son Jett on. I find that very puzzling.

Could it be that Scientology is still considered a “religion” in the US and the Government stays clear of “religious beliefs” ? Well yes, that’s a big part of it.Yet another reason why Scientology has been able to fly under the radar so long by using religion as a cloak to hide under. But when it comes to people being harmed, shouldn’t they be stepping in? Yes they should, and then the question is, what the heck are they waiting for?

So why did John insist that his son had Kawasaki disease instead of autism in the first place? Because Scientology does not recognize autism. John finally admitted his son’s autism when Jett was rushed to the hospital the morning of his death, but that report did not surface until months later. The actual Royal Bahama police report surfaced in the news and it contained John’s statement to the police which said:

 ”My son suffered from a seizure disorder and he was autistic”.

Scientology’s response to Jett’ death was too quickly get John and Kelly ”handled”  and into counseling and auditing ASAP. (of course on John and Kelly’s dime) I find all of this beyond despicable and further proof that Scientology is the furthest thing from a “church” as you can get.
 
One would think the sheer quackery of Scientology must have left John with some huge questions and  feelings of guilt for adhering to the cult’s teachings in dealing with not only with Jett’s problems when he was alive, but also dealing with his own grief after his death.

To further complicate things, is the big question of John’s sexuality. It’s not a secret that many people believe that John is gay and has been living on the DL for many years, and that his marriage to Kelly was “arranged” to take the heat off him. Not only for his career, but also for the fact of Scientology’s beliefs on gays.

When it was reported and photographed that John was seen kissing his son Jett’s nanny on the lips, it was not kept secret for very long, and it was never denied. In fact Travolta’s spokesperson said it did happen and that John is VERY friendly and he kisses everybody. Ok, but why would it be appropriate for an employer to kiss their child’s nanny? And where are all the other pictures of him kissing all these other people?

Hey don’t get me wrong, I could care less if John is gay. I wish he would come out and tell the world, and I would welcome it. And I am sure many of his fans feel the same way. Deep down inside I think that John is a caring, decent man that got tied up in this cult back in 1975 when it wasn’t AS corrupt as it is today with current leader David Miscavige running the show. (however it was always a huge sham)

One of many of the disturbing things with Scientology is, is that your life is an open book. Any secrets you may want to keep about your personal life gets revealed through Scientology’s auditing. They have your entire life on file and kept in your “PC” folder. It contains all your very personal information including anything  and everything sexual. And as recently reported, Scientology has no qualms about making your private information public. As we witnessed in the recent Scientology edition of their Freedom Magazine which was a beyond laughable rebuttal to the three part series of the St. Petersburg Times articles.

The SP Times, (as called by Scientology) reported about four top executives that left  Scientology and spoke out about beatings administered by cult leader David Miscavige and the emotional and physical abuse of other members that they witnessed. I certainly hope both Kelly and John got a chance to read it. I would imagine that Kelly refused to read it though. It was full of Scientology spin and called the four defectors that left Scientology comic book charachter names like The Adulteress and so on. It was written with he said/she said, high school mentality. If Scientology was trying to make themselves look credible with their latest issue of Freedom magazine, then they failed miserably.

Cult Leader David Miscavige Pictured On Cover

Maybe the outing of the defector’s files was a warning to other Scientology members as a scare tactic of what Scientology is capable of doing if you should leave and speak out. One can’t blame John for being scared. It’s a pity in ANY religion that someone would have to be afraid of their own “church”. Especially one that you have dumped millions of dollars into like John and Kelly.

So between John and Kelly’s grief over their son, John’s supposed sexual preference and all their deep dark secrets, and  fear of repercussions from the cult, Scientology has them by the short hairs to say the least. Let’s just hope they can snap out of it and come forward and lift the burden from their hearts and not let Scientology continue to rule and ruin their lives.

Sadly, I don’t think Kelly is willing to let go of Scientology, unless the cult totally crumbles, and even if it did, she would probably become a Freezoner in my opinion. (groups of people who still practice Scientology, but not in the “church” under Miscavige) Perhaps Kelly’s strong ties to Scientology may be part of the reason for their current separation. ( if in fact the Stars magazine’s story has any integrity at all)

It’s a tough pill to swallow, isn’t it?
Scientology’s beliefs and actions are SO archaic and secretive, it’s hard to believe  that this goes on today. Which oddly is another reason why they continue to get away with it. Some people and the media included think that these things can’t possibly be happening. And some are afraid to speak out about Scientology due to their litigious nature, which makes Scientology’s veil of secrecy continue.
That’s why we continually report what is going on in Scientology land, because people have to be made aware of these atrocities.

 Times are changing  for the better though and more and more people are coming forward with their stories. In a previous article we mentioned a list of ex scientologists that have spoken out. That list is now over 600 names listed on the  Why We Protest Wiki. The names tell sad tales of just how corrupt an organization Scientology is.

The list will only continue to grow and grow as more people step into the light and join others and say, I have my life back . I am happier than ever and I want to share my story with the world and help others!

So John, we have told you before….
If by chance you are reading this, I am sure your fans are waiting with open arms John. You can be a hero. You can save other Scientology members from a life of misery, financial ruin and also save some lives. Put an end to Scientology’s ruthless abuse and family disconnection of it’s Sea Org members too.You can write a tell all book and sky rocket your career.
You can help Scientology members get the medical help they so desperately need to live longer and  healthier lives.
If not for yourself John, do it for your son Jett.

Proud Papa John with Jett as a Baby

Although nobody knows yet if John will decide to stay in the cult, one thing is for certain…
as long as he stays with Scientology, he will never be free.

For help leaving Scientology, or just for someone to talk to, call 1-866-XSEAORG, this is a toll free call.

Miley Cyrus: Worst Teen Role Model Ever?

Above is video of Disney’s “Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus performing at Fox’s 2009 Teen Choice Awards. Why yes, that is a stripper pole on an ice cream cart. Nothing says wholesome like combining skeevy strip-tease tools and child-hood sweets — it’s like a dream conjured up in the mind of perverts.

Miley’s image is a disaster for Disney and for Miley. Sure she may be worth millions now (let’s hope she invests wisely) but ask any former teen star how hard it is to transition from teen star to adult star and most would have harrowing tales to tell. Lindsay, Britney, Mischa and Vanessa Hudgens (on the heels of a more nude photos leaked) certainly could fill us all in on that challenge, and then some. It’s not impossible to do it, but you need to have a team of caring, moral and ethical people around you in order to survive with your dignity intact.

For Miley, it’s been one disaster after another. First it was the risque photos leaked to the media, then the botched Vanity Fair photo shoot, not to mention the catty YouTube videos poking fun at fellow Disney star Selena Gomez, and of course, the racial insensitivity. One would think whoever does PR for Miley might try a little harder. And this latest effort, is NOT what I would call “trying harder.”

Miley Cyrus is reviled in our home and my 9-year old daughter came to this conclusion on her own. It’s only a matter of time until Miley’s string of poor choices finally catch up with her within the entire tween demographic. It always does.

I understand that I am in a unique position from most parents, I see ALL of Miley’s missteps, and therefore I am much more astute at figuring out this young girl is a TRAINWRECK waiting to happen. Clearly, Miley and her camp are on the Britney Spears roadmap to fame: whore them out early and often. Not only does this brand Miley for the next generation of consumers, but it also helps sexualize her long before she is even fully mature. Everyone knows sex sells, and Miley’s parents and handlers are no exception.

I know I am not the only one who thinks this is both sick, perverse and twisted. Most of my fellow moms have banned Miley from their household, and the trend is growing. Isn’t it bad enough Miley has middle-aged men stalking her? You’d think that would be a wake-up call to her parents. This isn’t the norm, this is the exception. There are plenty of young, talented women who are famous, who DON’T have a negative image to overcome. These young women have managed to avoid the cliched pitfalls of Hollywood, simply because they chose a personal set of standards, modesty and dare I say,personal safety, over a fistful of dollars.

It may be a common refrain, but it bears repeating: why do we continue to sexualize our children before they have even gained enough life experience to understand their OWN sexuality?

The blame isn’t solely Miley’s, who by all accounts, is still a child. There is plenty to go around, namely her parents Tish and Billy Ray, who clearly have been blinded by the millions to be gained by pimping out their daughter at an early age. Clearly, these two are too stupid to have learned anything from the Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan fiascos — how many young girls must we trash before we change our ways?

My daughter, hardly unique in her maturity and level of sophistication, saw through the Miley machine pretty quickly. When she walks through Wal-Mart and makes gagging sounds at all the garish displays of Miley merchandise, or the revealing photos on the nightly news, it’s not hard to put it all together. This isn’t genuine, real or lasting. Miley is a fabrication of Hollywood, and while some kids may be blinded by fan worship, many others see through the ruse, and in time Miley’s facade and slick production won’t translate to her maturing fan base.

When a 9-year old says “Miley makes me uncomfortable. Why is she posing almost nude Mom?” then you KNOW something is wrong.

Makes me glad we skipped the Teen Choice Awards, I sure don’t feel ready to explain the stripper pole to my kids.

Radiohead Not Interested In Chillin’ With Miley Cyrus, Kanye

radiohead
Do these look like guys who want to hang out with Miley?

Back in the day, when I was a little Glosslipette, I remember discovering Radiohead and their trippy alt-rock sound. “Fake Plastic Trees” is still one of my all-time favorite songs, so when I read this story, it brought a little nostalgic tear to my eye.

miley-cyrus-hannah-montana

When Radiohead refused to meet Miley Cyrus and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards last month, the starlet threatened to “ruin” them and the rapper refused to stand for their performance. Now the In Rainbows band is fighting back.

Cyrus kicked off the feudin’ during an appearance on the Johnjay and Rich radio show and rambled on for more than six minutes about how the band dissed her after she begged her manager to set up an introduction.

“I’m like, these are the people I really want to meet,” she said. “I’d freak out. They’re my rock gods. These are the only people that I would cry over…My manager asked and said, ‘Miley’s really obsessed. And they were like, ‘We don’t really do that.’ ”

She continued on in disbelief about the Thom Yorke band’s lack of interest in meeting the Hannah Montana, admitting she was so disappointed about the diss, she left the show early.

“I left ’cause I was so upset,” she said. “I wasn’t going to watch. Stinkin’ Radiohead! I’m gonna ruin them, I’m going to tell everyone.”

The three-time Grammy winners responded by putting the teen in her place…

“When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement,” the quintet said in a statement.

But the Radiohead beef buck doesn’t stop there.

During the taping for his episode of VH1’s Storytellers, West complained that Yorke snubbed him as well.

“When he performed at the Grammys, I sat the f–k down,” the rapper said.

The British “Creep” singer, already in full retaliation mode, concluded a blog post on the band’s website with a wink and a nudge to both stars. “Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you’re not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing,” Yorke writes.

First of all, I find it hard to believe that someone as mentally challenged as Miley Cyrus has even HEARD Radiohead’s music. They’ve been around longer than she’s been wasting oxygen on this planet, she’s not even legal yet, so why would a bunch of old fart English musicians want to hang around with a flash-in-the-pan tweener? Seriously Miley, grow the eff up.

Second of all, Thom Yorke is notoriously not interested in rubbing elbows with other famous people, especially those whom he deems as overrated, like Miley and apparently, Kanye West.

Sorry Kanye, but you aren’t the voice of Radiohead’s generation either.

Ahh, but lest we feel too sorry for poor wittle Miley, another overrated bunch of famewhores were more than happy to make up for where Radiohead left off.

But Coldplay exceeded her expectations. “Coldplay was so nice. Chris Martin hung out with me the whole time,” she gloated.

Oh Miley, what would you do with a clue if you had one?

Memo To Miley: Sometimes Being Told You Look Older Is NOT A Compliment

As a teenager, I remember getting a thrill when I was told I looked older than I actually was.  When I was sixteen, being mistaken for eighteen or twenty was a big deal (once, my aunt took me into a liquor store and bought wine coolers for herself, and I didn’t get carded or anything, but my mom doesn’t know about that so don’t tell her if you see her, m’kay?).  But I was never mistaken for someone twenty-some years older, unlike Miley Cyrus, who had some explaining to do to a saleslady:mileyvanityfair

The 16-year-old Disney star was mortified when a sales assistant mistook her for the 40-year-old mother of her eight-year-old half sister NOAH.

Miley said: “I had this lady walk up to me and try to sell me wrinkle cream.

“I wasn’t offended until she started to say that I looked good for my age.

“She thought I was 40. I was with a bodyguard who she thought was my husband, and my little sister-who she thought was my daughter!

“She called out ’Oh you look just like your mummy.’

“I had to set her straight. ’Ok lady, that is NOT my husband, that is NOT my child and I am NOT 40, I’m 16.’

“Needless to say she was embarrassed.”

Okay, where to begin?  It’s pretty rich to assume that all 40-year-olds need “wrinkle cream”.  What was she trying to sell her, Pond’s Cold Cream or Oil Of Olay?  That’s the last thing I heard called “wrinkle cream”.  Miley, honey, nowadays they call it something like “deep hydrating regenerating serum” or “microsculpting skin treatment”.

mileyshowerMiley should be offended, but not for the reason she thinks.  A sixteen-year-old should LOOK like a sixteen-year-old.  Many photos I’ve seen lately of Miley, however, seem desperate to make the public forget that she’s sixteen (and a very young sixteen); they seem to want people to think she’s actually older than what she is.  It’s really kind of a sad commentary on how the machine treats teenagers in show business when a teenage girl can be mistaken for someone old enough to be her own mama.

I don’t know if it was because Miley looked tired and haggard that day and looked like she needed “wrinkle cream” (because, of course, all of us over-the-hill women look haggard and like we need wrinkle cream), or if she was made up to look older, but maybe this should make Miley and her family sit down and do some reevaluating.  If someone mistook her for someone her mother’s age, then maybe it’s time for her to wonder why.  Sometimes, the truth comes when we least expect it.

Miley Cyrus Giggles And Annoys Ellen Degeneres, World At Large

Miley Cyrus is done. For Reals. She jumped that shark, punched it in the throat and then ran that beeeyotch over with her bike.

So, Ellen Degeneres was kind enough to allow this twit on her show to discuss her lame-looking new star vehicle Bolt (which is what I want to do when I hear Miley cackle) and when she was asked about her new/old (as in 20) boyfriend, Justin Gaston, she acted like a particularly challenged special needs kid. My apologies to special needs kids.

So yeah, Miley is quickly becoming the MOST annoying human on earth. The only thing that stands in Miley’s way of winning this title is Andy Dick. Yep, she’s that annoying.

Miley Cyrus’ 20-Year Old Boyfriend Latest Stop On Her Train To Whoreville

Justin Gaston, an underwear model is dating Miley Cyrus, who is apparently an underwear model in training. Gaston is 20 while Miley, star of Disney’s tween show Hannah Montana, is 15. I was pretty concerned about this relationship and the age difference, but after seeing these pictures, ehh, what’s to worry about? Clearly this guy’s mental age is in the 12-year old range.

Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley’s father, seems to have lost his way in his parental responsibility and continues to show poor judgment in regards to his daughter. Not only has he done nothing about the continuous leaks of Miley doing her own amateur underwear modeling, but he even participated in the promoting of his daughter in scandalous photos and questionable decisions.

And of course, he totally approves of Miley’s new boyfriend, the 20-year old underwear model, Justin Gaston. From the SFGate:


Miley Cyrus’ protective father, Billy Ray, has given the pop star’s “guy pal” Justin Gaston the seal of.

The 15-year-old has been linked to 20-year-old Gaston — a former contestant on reality TV show “Nashville Star” — for several weeks, and he joined her dad onstage to perform at Miley’s Disneyland party on Sunday.

All parties have denied Gaston is romancing the underage star, but he has won over Billy Ray.

He tells “Access Hollywood,” “He actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was 20 years old and I was living and searching for the dream.

“He’s got a great heart and soul, and a lot of determination. I think that’s the true measure of a man, is when you measure his heart.”

Was that supposed to be irony describing Billy Ray as “protective”? It wasn’t lost on me.

As for the “true measure of a man,” it could also be said that it can be found in how well a man looks after his precious children, and in this case I’d say Billy Ray Cyrus falls in the “very small, flacid” range. If I ain’t being too subtle.

Hollywood is like a the Bermuda Triangle, people enter with decent morals and good intentions only to get sucked into a magical vortex of senseless whoring and depravity.

Oh, and clearly the Disney Channel is run by the devil.

Miley Cyrus: Whaddya Gonna Do, Fire Me?

Things are far from rosy in Hannah Montanaland.  In what seems to be the personification of the phrase, “biting the hand that feeds you,” rumor has it that Miley Cyrus and dad Billy Ray are doing everything they can to get Miley fired from her hit Disney show:

Our spies on the set tell us Miley has bragged that she will get fired, making it clear she wants to focus on singing and not the show. For his part, Billy Ray has also made it clear that there is more money in singing than a Disney cable show. As a result, the father-daughter team has been showing up to the set ridiculously late, stalling production and infuriating cast and crew. [...]

Sources tell us Billy Ray has told people on the set that he and Miley will do 12 more episodes and then they are out. Disney was so pissed they called his agent, railing that Billy Ray and Miley were ingrates. Disney insisted that Billy Ray and Miley not only finish the 24 episode season — but Disney was adding six more episodes.

Real mature.  Looks like my local Wal-Mart will soon be full of crying prepubescents, weeping as the employees tear down the tired old Hannah Montana displays and put the merchandise in boxes to ship off to Big Lots.  With any luck, that is.  If they start playing Best Of Both Worlds on the televisions in there again this Christmas season, I may be forced to beat one to death with a curtain rod.  I don’t know which is worse…her singing spots or the Fruit Of The Loom ads that are in constant rotation during the holidays.  But I digress.

On this week’s very special episode of Hannah Montana, we see if pouting and a tantrum gets you what you want!

She issued a statement, which is your basic deny, deny, deny:

“I am fully committed to Hannah Montana. It’s what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people,” Cyrus tells PEOPLE, adding, “I couldn’t do it alone. We have an amazing cast that is so supportive, including my dad who has been there for me every step of the way.”

Of course, Miley has indicated previous to this that she’s kind of over the whole Hannah Montana gig anyway, so I can totally understand she and her father acting like a couple of spoiled brats who want their own way:

To the dismay of her young fans, the 15-year-old star has signalled that the next season is probably the last.

Cyrus has been playing her pop star alter ego since the age of 11 and is keen to take her career in a more mature direction.

“We’re thinking this is our last season,” the teenager told E! News, explaining that working on the show has been tiring: “I just think we did a lot of episodes. We basically did two seasons in one season last year. Usually people would do one season that would be 16 episodes, and we did almost 30 episodes.”

Disney could not confirm or deny whether the show will end after this series. “We start production on the third series of Hannah Montana on August 4 and have an option for a fourth season beyond that. We look forward to the Hannah Montana feature film coming to a theatre near you in spring 2009,” a spokesman said.

A little side road here…in the same article, she tells of some rules her mother laid down for her concerning dating:

Her ideal man would be “a 16-year-old version of [Coldplay's Chris Martin]” – her mother does not allow her to date anyone over the age of 17.

“It’s seventeen, tops. Eighteen is just a little too old. It’s kind of illegal,” Cyrus conceded.  [emphasis mine]

Reeeeeally now.

The date on this article was July 28, 2008, barely two months ago.  Yet, just this month she was snapped coming out of church with a 20-year-old underwear model named Justin Gaston, who also happened to be on her daddy’s television show Nashville Star.  Forget trying to win a competition…just ”make friends” [wink wink] with a famous guy’s daughter.

On Sunday, Justin Gaston, a model and aspiring country singer, attended church in Pasadena, Calif., with the Hannah Montana star and her family. Later that night, he hit Disney’s Concert for Hope where Cyrus performed with the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato.

According to Cyrus’s rep, Gaston, 20, is “a friend from Nashville.” He met Cyrus, 15, earlier this year when he was a contestant on Nashville Star, hosted by her father, Billy Ray. Adds Gaston’s rep, Allen Osborne, “He’s visiting L.A. for the week.”

A source close to Miley says, “They’ve been spending a lot of time together while he’s in town.”

Miley’s 16th birthday isn’t until November 23.

My guess is that little Miley is growing up now, and doesn’t want to be associated with a kiddie network any longer.  It’s worked thus far for the stars of HSM, but not for Miley…she’s got bigger fish to fry!

To be non-snarky for a minute, I think Billy Ray and his wife Tish need to worry less about how much money Miley can bring in, and a lot more about what she does in her spare time with cameras, cell phones, and email accounts…not to mention what professional photographers can do to her.  But then again, perhaps they can’t see the forest for the dollar signs.

Of course, it’s all just rumors and hearsay and I’m sure absolutely not one iota of it is true.  Oh no.  But I can dream, can’t I?  In a world without Hannah Montana, how long will it be until the next teen poptart comes along?  Everybody is replaceable.

I wonder if she knows Jamie Lynn Spears?

Miley Cyrus Offered One Million To Hock Condoms, Timing Couldn’t Be Better


LifeStyles Condoms is seeking a new spokeswhore person for their product, which happens to be, condoms. According to Fox News Lifestyles Condoms thinks Miley Cyrus, star of Disney’s wildly popular, “Hannah Montana”, would be a perfect candidate. Here’s more:

LifeStyles Condoms wants Miley Cyrus to be its spokesgirl.

The company says it has offered the 15-year-old Disney star — who has said she won’t have sex until she’s married — $1 million to represent the brand.

“Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex,” says the company’s VP of marketing, Carol Carrozza. “We believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set — and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America.”

But Cyrus’ rep says they never got an offer.

“We never received an offer, nor would she consider the offer,” her rep tells E! News.

Meanwhile, Cyrus says she’s almost done with “Hannah Montana.”

“We’re thinking this is our last season,” the star tells E!’s Marc Malkin.

The single Cyrus also told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show that she would ideally date a “16-year-old [Coldplay lead singer] Chris Martin.”

Miley is done with Disney? Really? Or it could it be Disney is done with Miley for tramping it up over the last year and making a mockery of her fake wholesome image by posting pics of her in revealing outfits, and let’s not forget the whole Vanity Fair debacle with Miley posing naked for Annie Lebowitz (albeit covered in a sheet.)

Miley, like so many of these teens-becoming-women being foisted on society through the meat-grinders of Disney or Nickelodeon, create false expectations on these young women. It’s as though we’ve learned nothing from watching Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson, who both claimed to be wholesome young women, who then went on to consume men raw and whole right before our eyes.

It’s not that I expect Miley, Vanessa, Lindsey, Britney, Jessica – or whomever is the “it” girl of the moment to remain virginal, because I don’t. Most of us grown-ups understand the difference between a pre-pubescent child and a hormonal teen, but this however, does not give these huge corporate entertainment entities the right to treat the consumer (young kids) and their parents, as though we are stupid.

Hey Miley, there are worse things in life than a whorish teenager hocking a device which prevents pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease. For example, getting knocked up at 16 and pretending that raising a baby when you are still a baby is a GOOD CHOICE would be far worse.

Billy Ray Cyrus Likes To Name Drop, Look Cool, Make Excuses

The whole Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana thing is as dumb as her daddy’s accent, but to make matters worse, now Billy Ray goes on the “Today” show and makes a bunch of lame excuses for why he was unaware his daughter, all 15 years of her, agreed to some soft-core porn style pictures, despite her squeaky clean Disney spoon-fed image.

Can you imagine how refreshing it would be for a famous person to just get up there and say, “Hey, I am an entertainer. I am not bright or very smart. In fact, I do stupid things sometimes. I suck. Please forgive me” ?

Not only that, the pictures were yucky. Miley hasn’t even grown into that mug of hers. Sheesh, can’t we let kids grow up first before we start whoring them out.

Hollywood is yucky.

Miley Cyrus “Embarrassed” By Photos, Way Too Late For That Now

You know what, I have grown to HATE Disney’s influence on children. First it was Vanessa Hudgens with her full-on nude photo showing ALL her naughty bits — and never mind how Britney, Christina and Justin have grown up to be sexually explicit artists — but now we have Miley Cyrus aka “Hannah Montana” in nude photo shoots.

Well, I should say “artistically” nude. See, we don’t *actually* see anything other than the implied threat of her nudity as she is covered up with a sheet. Famed photographer Annie Leibowitz did the shoot for Vogue Magazine of Miley Cyrus and really should have known better, as should have Miley, her parents, her agent, her manager and anyone who really cares about the “Hannah Montana” franchise, which is estimated to be close to $1 billion dollars.

As could be predicted, Disney has responded to the photos being leaked out on the internet for the impending June Vogue issue, which comes on the heels of leaked photos showing Miley tarting it up in other picture (you can see those here), from the NYTimes:


But wait, there’s more…
