John Travolta and Kelly Preston were photographed out together in Hawaii on vacation with their daughter, Ella. (You can see the pictures here.) These photos are notable because John’s natural balding hairline is seen, as opposed to the weave and Ronco spray-on hair he usually sports, and because Kelly looks very much like a woman who just gave birth three months ago.
Now, I didn’t have a big post-baby tummy like that three months afterwards but when I had my son I was 31, not 48. You bounce back quicker from childbirth I’m sure when you’re talking about that much of an age difference. For all of the people who will inevitably bring up the conspiracy theories that Kelly used a surrogate and faked her pregnancy and is just using the “five month” bump for these bathing suit photo ops – that’s possible but look at her boobs. Those are big heavy real-looking new mom boobs, they’re not surgically enhanced. She just has relatively thin-looking arms and a thin-looking face and that’s why she didn’t look pregnant to a lot of us who got heavy with our pregnancies. (Like me, I will cop to it.) We all carry differently and I buy her story that she carried her last one. That doesn’t make her husband straight or make her even slightly more sane, though.
I also have to say that if Travolta would ditch that weird tuft thing that’s growing in the middle of his scalp and just shave his damn head he’d look so much better. Still not even remotely hittable, but better. We know he looks decent bald, and he should just embrace the look. Maybe it’s just not his style. Jonathan Rhys Meyers thinks it’s hot though.
