FBI Gets Involved in Travolta Extortion Plot

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:30:12 +0000

The FBI are now involved in an extortion plot aimed at getting John Travolta, and his wife, to pay $25 million dollars to avoid release of a picture of their dying son Jett Travolta, and possibly documents that could embarrass the family.

Tarino Lighbourne, who was the ambulance driver for Jett, was arrested, he pled not guilty, was denied bail, and was sent to jail.

Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater, who was a member of the Bahamas Parliment, was arrested Thursday, she claimed she was innocent, but resigned from Parliament. Bridgewater is the person who contacted Travolta’s attorneys, and tried to negotiate the $25 million extortion deal. Bridgewater is an attorney. Another Parliament member is also being questioned.

There have been a lot of crimes in the Bahamas that haven’t been handled very well. Hopefully this one is dealt with in the right way.

Jett Travolta Picture at the Center of Extortion Plott

John Travolta, and his wife, were asked to pay a $1 million extortion ransom to prevent a picture, of their son Jett Travolta as he lay dying in the back of an ambulance, from being sold to someone other than the Travolta family. The picture was allegedly taken with a mobile phone possibly by one of the paramedics. So wrong!

The alleged blackmailers are thought to have made contact with Travola and his Florida based lawyers Michael Ossi and Howard Butler. The blackmailers said they would sell the picture to the highest bidder if they didn’t get their $1 million ransom.

A local politician from the Bahamas is also said to be involved.

This is so very wrong!

John Travolta Extortion Demands

Right after the death of their son John Travolta and his Wife Kelly Preston are facing extortion threats. Police are investigating.

The Tribune, a Bahamas-based newspaper, reported Monday, without attribution, that police are questioning two people, "one believed to be a politician," in the investigation.

Attorneys Mike Ossi and Howard Butler, who represent Travolta, arrived in Jacksonville from the Bahamas on Monday and released a statement that read, in part:

"Regretably in a time of such terrible grief there are often a few individuals who attempt to make false claims in hopes of making millions of dollars. We will never let that happen."

The nature of the extortion demands have not been made public.

Ossi and Butler’s statement said that they have "the utmost confidence in the Bahamian police and government" as it looks into the reported extortion attempt.

We suspect the extortion demands are related to how Jett Travolta died. It’s hard to believe anyone would try to take advantage of a family grieving their son’s death. We hope those people are dealt with properly.

The son John Travolta, Jett Travolta, who was 16 years-old, died today in Rand Memorial Hospital in the Bahamas.

Jett was on vacation with his father and mother, Kelly Preston, when he had a seizure. Attempts to revive Jett were unsuccessful, and he died according to Travolta’s attorney Michael Ossi.

According to John Travolta, Jett had Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition which often leads to heart disease.

Our condolences to the Travolta family. This is very sad news.

Miley Cyrus to Sing with John Travolta

The wife of John Travolta, Kelly Preston, said yesterday that John and Miley Cyrus are voicing characters in a new animated movie called Bolt, and that the two may actually record a song together as well. I’m assuming the song would be for the animated movie. It’s great when movies have some musical performances mixed in.

Jenna Elfman and Her Curious George

Jenna Elfman and her baby attended the Scientology Christmas Stories pageant last night in Los Angeles. Jenna celebrated with Kelly Preston, Chris Masterson, Bijou Phillips, Danny Masterson, Laura Prepon, Erika Christensen and Efren Ramirez. Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, and Suri Cruise did not attend. Suri would have won hands down. I think she missed the event so someone else could have a chance, like Jenna’s curious George baby.

Denise Richards Wants Charlie Sheen to Donate Sperm

Despite being divorced and embroiled in a nasty custody dispute, Charlie Sheen says Denise Richards wanted him to donate sperm to her so she could have a third child. Here’s more:

"There was a request for a (sperm) donation. Without getting into it here … there is a specific document relating to this that I am going to reserve for a court."

His response:

"I would sooner, in exactly what I’m wearing, walk on the surface of the moon. Does that answer it?"

When Charlie says he has proof you have to consider his past. He once planned to fake the death of a porn star so he could marry her (1), and he used to date a transsexual (2), and he’s been arrested five times for drug possession, soliciting prostitutes and credit card fraud (3), and he shot Kelly Preston in the arm (4). Sure he’s an American hero for shooting Kelly Preston, I mean who wouldn’t want to? Still those documents could have been forged by his friends at the F.B.I., who owe him for helping them bring down a tranny sex ring that could have implicated everyone in congress.
