There's a conflict brewing between the Bahama PD and John Travolta's camp regarding the time line of Jett Travolta's death.
People who are with Travolta are bristling at the suggestion Jett might have been left unattended for more than 10 hours, but this morning cops say they are sticking to their story. Meanwhile, we've learned Jett had suffered from grand mal seizures in the past and had taken anti-seizure medicine which the Travolta's say did not work, so the medication was stopped.
As for the time line, we're told Jett, his family and his two nannies had been boating on January 1. They returned to their townhouse at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel at around 6 PM. Jett was tired, went into his bedroom and went to sleep.
We're told nanny Jeff Kathrein watched TV in the adjoining room. The other nanny, Eli, returned to the townhouse at around 11:30 PM. Both Jeff and Eli turned in at around that time. After Jeff got up, he went into the bathroom and discovered Jett laying on the floor.
As for when Jett was last seen, cops say it was the at around 11:30 the night of January 1, when he went to the bathroom. Michael McDermott, John Travolta's lawyer and close friend, says Eli or Jeff may have gone into that bathroom during the middle of the night so the time frame would have been compressed.
McDermott also tells TMZ when Jeff and John Travolta administered CPR there may have been signs of life -- as in there may have been some respiratory function -- though that is not confirmed.
We're told Jett's disabilities included the inability to communicate well, in addition to some physical disabilities. As a result, there was a baby monitor in his room as well as a chime on the bathroom door. It's unclear if the two nannies slept through any signs of movement. The townhouse is relatively small -- around 1,000 square feet -- and the nannies and Jett were all on the bottom floor.
McDermott told us it's not unusual for Jett to sleep 12, even 16 hours a day, so Jett not being present is not unusual.
As for cause of death, the coroner will presumably determine that tomorrow.
As for John Travolta and Kelly Preston, McDermott tells us "they stopped crying long enough last night to try to write a press statement, which they haven't finished."

LATEST BREAKING NEWS ON BABY MAMA DRAMA
Howard Stern has just testified in court in Florida that he and Anna Marie did not have an exclusive only relationship- well, that did not take a rocket scientist to figure out with all the possible daddies coming forward, huh?
John Travolta is gay????
This is the first I'm hearing this. Is this true or just speculation?
I have seen the Costner ones and Travolta. nm

Nicholas Cage, John Travolta, Al Pacino
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

Yep, but that is not all… the latest
This "mother" has been seen out in the video store shopping, has been treated for mental disorders (well, duh, that was hard to figure out)and the doctor responsible for the invitro has just "helped" another woman who has, I think 4 children already with 4 more embryos just waiting to hatch anytime.
I would say: 24 to 37, latest....nm

My latest funny . . .
"The patient is a 64-year-old woman involved in a motor vehicle accident where she hit a pole. The pole was not injured."
you can only have one will, the latest one written...
You can have one will from one departed person per beneficiary...
If Anna had 7 wills for Daniel from herself, they have to go by the latest dated one.........
.
Had to laugh at the latest guy, who said he had
'too much pressure from his multi-million-dollar salary' they were paying him. So he felt it was necessary to bulk up on the 'roids and cheat.
Here's my answer to the steroid problem in sports: TAKE AWAY THEIR BLOATED, OVER-PAID SALARIES!
After all - these guys make their living playing a GAME. Maybe they should be doing it more for the love of their sport, and less for the *rock-star* money.
Latest on megamom, OMG
Supposedly Angelina Jolie had been contacted in the past by this megamom and Jolie is supposedly "creeped out" by this. Megamom's representative says if this litter was born 3 or 4 years ago people would have been more giving of their money.
Latest on Britney....check it out
On Friday night, Britney Spears sported a bald head and new tattos. (ABC News)
I agree with latest post
It would be ideal if you could handle it with your SIL, but not always possible. I would begin talking to your child instead and explain that just because someone says they will do something doesn't always mean they will and there could be lots of reasons. He may as well learn it now, or he will defitely learn it later and then it may be about something much more significant and even more hurtful. I hope things get better with her. Oh! Maybe (if she has a child) you could "forget" the present and say you will bring it by later and then really DO it. That may make a point w/o having to be confrontational and jeopardizing your relationship. Just a thought. Good luck!
Latest on Lindsay Lohan at tmz.com. wow.
So anyone interested in gossip should check out tmz.com. They interviewed 3 guys who were in the car with her, and according to them she jumped in a car that wasn't hers that had the 3 guys in it, ran over a guy's foot, chased another vehicle at about 100 mph, said that she could do whatever she wanted because she was a celebrity, circled the car numerous times, lost that car, and then chased another vehicle all the way to the police station. She supposedly ran numerous red lights and stop signs and obviously could have killed any number of people!
Then to top it off she supposedly tells the police "The black guy was driving." How horrible. Zero respect for her now. I will never watch another one of her movies. I hope they throw the book at her! She's obviously a danger and should not have been let out on bail imo. (kam)
??? Hist latest book
All you James Patterson fans out there, if you've read his latest, "You've Been Warned," please tell me your take on it. He is one of my favorite authors, but this book left me hanging. It keeps hyping and building the reader up; you think, 'surely the next chapter will explain everything,' but it never does. So many weird things happen throughout the book that are never explained, and the ending, well that was just plain weird.
I would take him over the latest real estate listing

The latest on this looney-tune story
Her family has asked that the public not judge her. I heard this morning she was a mother first and foremost. She has 3 children but like I have stated many times before, you NEVER know what a person might do. Being first and foremost did not stop this person for being charged with attempted murder. My hubby also stated if you had to wear a diaper as an adult, surely you would not want millions to know about it. I feel sorry for her family.
Yes, I saw it (no spoilers unless you haven't seen the latest episode)
Not a whole lot of new information, just mostly confirmation of things that are already known, like yes, Desmond's failure to reset the computer was the cause of the airplane crash and later when Desmond turned the key it did temporarily make the island visible so Penny knows about it - but they didn't follow up on that. This is my guess - but presumably the ship that the woman who parachuted onto the island is trying to contact was sent by Penny.
They touched on the idea of the interconnectedness of these people but very lightly - just hinted that there was something that brought this particular group of people together. Interestingly, they didn't say anything at all about the people from the tail section, but the show that was run last night was only 45 minutes because Grey's Anatomy ran 15 minutes over. The one that will be shown next Wednesday is a full hour - I'm going to watch that, too.
The main thing (as far as I'm concerned) is they reiterated that this is not purgatory or anything like that, everyone is actually alive, but they said they are....let me think....."somewhere in the space-time continuum."
Interesting....
Has anyone done all the latest updates for Window and did you have any problems. nm
:
Me too! My latest obsession are shoes from a store on e bay
They are called cutsey shoes and I get a pair or two with each pay period. I know it has to end, but they are so cute and not expensive. I am kicking the e bay habit but there's still always room for shoe bids as far as I am concerned. Though I never wear shoes at home and I am there most of the time because I work at home too. LOL.
latest update on 16-year-old daughter.
Well, I did it. I told my husband. He had a good stern talking with her about how what she is doing is not good and will not be tolerated, and told her that the rules were expected to be abided by. He grounded her for 2 weeks and we took away her license and car keys. She is beside herself and of course hates me more than anything because I betrayed her to her dad. Go figure. Anyway, now she states that there is no way she will stay in this house and will just run away. Or she will get a job and as soon as she can get some money together, she will emancipate herself from us. My husband told her that if she runs away, the next step will be something like military school. What a mess. He says we have to be tough or she won't get the message. This is so hard for me. I feel like I lost her. She wants nothing to do with me. I just hope and pray that someday she will understand that I did what I think is best for her.
At least now he knows and he can help me handle it. If she does run away, at least now he knows. I told her I love her more than life and I am doing this for her own good. She just reiterated how much she hates me.(sigh)
Thanks for all the good advice everyone. Please pray for me and my daughter. I never thought being a parent could be this hard.
sounds like the Oprah latest saga. LOL.
not worthy of acknowledging.
Maybe not, I just saw Antonella is the latest pick on that website - vote for the worst!

Latest in long line of idiots in civil service -
The poor kid told a supervisor and another employee, obviously concerned about her mistake, and they okayed the serving of the meat anyway.
Hope some hot shot lawyer comes to her aid. This is beyond ridiculous.
Gee, maybe we should all have food servers arrested the next time they put onions on our burgers if we ask for NO ONIONS!
Where is that guy who follows the NY cops around filming them when they break the law in the course of duty?! Hope he picks up on this one.
Hope the link works.
son's death
I lost my mom 2 years ago and I'm still grieving her; I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to lose a child. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Umm,,,,,,,,death! nm

What do you think about the lupus, do you think that had something to do with her death?

you must be bored to death
as well as the ones that answered this!
death of grandmother
Truly a horrible turn of events for you. Two deaths of loved ones so close together. Lean on the one who tells us to bring our cares to Him. It is believed by many that it would be limiting God to teach that this life is the only time that God can call a person to Himself. Second resurrection may be the answer. Also preaching to souls in prison, think about why they would need to be preached to, if these were evil spirits, not human spirits, what good would it do to preach to them?God is a God of love and your family members are in His hands.
Re suicide, no sane person can take their own life. no matter how "rational" they make it sound. Those who do kill themselves are not responsible for the sin of murder because they are so sick.
Autopsies have to be done very very soon after death.

Drive your car to death
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- By keeping your car for 15 years, or 225,000 miles of driving, you could save nearly $31,000, according to Consumer Reports magazine. That's compared to the cost of buying an identical model every five years, which is roughly the rate at which most car owners trade in their vehicles.
In its annual national auto survey, the magazine found 6,769 readers who had logged more than 200,000 miles on their cars. Their cars included a 1990 Lexus LS400 with 332,000 miles and a 1994 Ford Ranger pick-up that had gone 488,000 miles.
Consumer Reports calls the Honda Civic a "Good bet" to make it to 200,000 miles.
Calculating the costs involved in buying a new Honda Civic EX every five years for 15 years - including depreciation, taxes, fees and insurance - the magazine estimated it would cost $20,500 more than it would have cost to simply maintain one car for the same period.
Consumer Reports' "Good bets" for making 200,000 miles: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4
Consumer Reports' "Bad bets" for making 200,000 miles: BMW 7-series, Infiniti QX56, Jaguar X-type, V8-powered Mercedes-Benz M-class, Mercedes-Benz SL, Nissan Armada, Nissan Titan, Volkswagen Touareg, V6-powered Volvo XC90.
We were not celebrating her death,
once again, I said we were celebrating the wonderful life she had and the many contributions she made to her family and society as a whole.
grandparent's death
I think you should tell them. My first close loss was my grandfather was when I was 12. It was actually unexpected. I believe they are old enough to understand and they would probably be more disappointed if someone slipped up and said something or they overheard it rather than being told up front. That way they can have some time to process it and hopefully can enjoy the time they have left with their grandfather. Please know you and your family have been lifted in my prayers.
About the death of that child
It was told on the first day of the autopsy the child died from a seizure. Now anyone who works in this field knows it takes longer and more delving into what actually is the cause of a death, especially in a young male like this. You would not have blood work returned in 1 day, no possible drugs in his system analyzed. I read the death certificate signed by mortician and that usually is not how it is done. My thoughts on this are the child suffered from autism and the parents tried to cover up as much as humanly possible as autism is not accepted in the scientology group - they considered anything like this a defect, but the other diagnosis of Kawasaki (spelling?) would have been ok- the only thing about this is the child's symptoms, looks, etc. just did not go along with a syndrome that children of his age have usually outgrown. The child supposedly had 2 attendants, monitors both in his rooms and outside to let others know should he try to leave, etc. I very much question what happened here. I have not heard about Katie- I do know lately in her pictures she has been stressed looking, haggard and worn out. Seems like she is always with Suri and hubby mostly no where around.
PA death penalty
We actually do have the death penalty in PA...it is just not used that often. 
No, had no idea until her death
Didn't know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
No, had no idea until her death
Didn't know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
No, had no idea until her death
Didn't even know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
any death that occurs is to be
disclosed. That's the way it is in my state (NE). Even if someone just died in the house, the seller is to disclose this information. I believe most states have this law, but again, it would be state-specific.
Every death comes in 3s. I grew up with that saying.
It does turn out to be true in a lot of families. So...we have Ed McMahnon (sp), Farrah, and now Michael. If no one died within the next couple days (I think that is also 3), it should be okay.
Dang! I haven't felt this bad since Elvis died.
LOL - guess you are bored to death too then :)

Well, I love my hubby to death, but his sm
100-pound beloved German Shepherd attacked my 22-pound Cocker Spaniel several years ago and did $500.00 worth of damage including blinding her in one eye (popped the globe right out of the socket), I didn't spare his feelings at all when I said the dog either had to go or be put to sleep. Call me uncaring but the only thing I could think of was "OMG, what if that happened to a child" and that was all it took. We gave the dog to his cousin and it got hit and killed by a car 6 weeks later. I was relieved. I had nightmares the dog would run away and I would find her on my doorstep. I love all animals but my dog injuring a child is my worst nightmare.
Fetal death at 5 months....
....do not remember exactly how long before resumption of periods; however, daughter was born 1 year later so it could not have been long before body returned to normal. (Daughter is now 25 and mother of 2 little boys.)
Death of someone you have a close relationship
even if they are not related by blood.
In 1990, my husband and I decided for the first time since we had been married to spend Thanksgiving with his family instead of with my family (we always did a Sunday Thanksgiving with his family before because my family was so large and his family was smaller).
My father died that Thanksgiving night. It took me 10 years to forgive myself for not being there that day. I have empathy for anyone who suffers a loss around a holiday, but hey, that's just me.

A sincere ? on the death penalty
Would you watch someone being executed by lethal injection? What if he murdered your brother? Your child? or anyone else close to you?
I know there is no right or wrong answer to this. I will have to make this decision myself and it's been in my head lately. I may not know my decision until the day of.
Swine flu death in Houston. That's
too close for comfort for me. I'm not far from Houston. It's getting scary now. They're saying it may fizzle out & emerge stronger in the fall like the flu of 1918 did. Yikes!
Is there a death toll yet or guess? I absolutely can't believe this...SM
They should have to pay for pain and suffering because most of us treat our animals like our children. This is not fair.
I'm sorry to all who have lost their pet to this horrible thing that has happened. They should have to pay and pay deeply!!!
Stern had SOMETHING to do with Daniel and Anna's death. That's what I
believe anyway. I also don't think he loved that baby. He loved that baby's MONEY. I think Larry loved Anna and loves his daughter and I think he deserves the money to raise his daughter on, put her through college, etc. Stern got what he deserved. What a creep.
