What the hell is going on in the Bahama’s? Is the entire country crooked? Yesterday a Travolta family friend was detained by the authorities in connection with the heinous extortion plot involving pictures of Jett Travolta minutes before he died.

Obie Wilchcombe, the former Minister of Tourism, was one of three people in the Bahamas who was arrested by Bahamian police in connection with an alleged $20 million extortion plot against John Travolta, local authorities tell TMZ.

Wilchcombe was a very close friend of the Travolta family. On Larry King’s show, he talked about how the family was coping with Jett’s death.

Wilchcombe has said no politician was part of the plot and said only one person was involved. Yet two of the three people arrested were politicians –After being detained earlier in the day, Wilchcombe was released pending further investigation. Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater was charged with abetment to extort and conspiracy to extort and released Friday on $40,000 bail. The ambulance driver that allegedly took the photo, Tarino Lightbourne remained in police custody.

It’s been a big secret in Hollywood for years that John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s son, Jett Travolta, had some sort of illness. I suppose for personal reasons they didn’t want his business known to the world, and I think we can all respect that. Most people suspect that Jett was autistic.

Sadly, 16 year-old Jett passed away today while on vacation with his family in the Bahamas. All that is known about the tragic death is that Jett suffered a seizure in his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel.

Michael Ossi, a lawyer for the family, told Reuters that Jett suffered a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene, Ossi said.

Sad news for sure, our hearts go out to the Travolta family.

I don’t get it kids. Do Scientologist believe if you publicly admit that your child is disabled that is a sign of weakness or do they think hiding it somehow makes it not true. This is one Hollywood rumor that we certainly hope is not true.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have made news recently by announcing they are tying to conceive a third child while many sources claim that they still refuse to admit that their teenage son Jett is autistic. John continues to tell reporters that Jett enjoys reading and playing sports even though insiders says that is physically impossible for Jett. John has been quoted as saying Jett does suffer from Kawasaki condition, a disease that presents with a high fever, skin rash and swelling of the lymph nodes.

 If this rumor is true, we aren’t afraid to say that John and Kelly are doing not only their son but the sons and daughters of thousands of other children who are autistic. Why not come forward and help raise awareness and research funds for this disease like Sylvester Stallone, Doug Flutie, Jenny McCarthy and Toni Braxton have done. (All of whom have children that suffer from autism.)

I don’t know kids, do you buy these two crazy Scientology cats as J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing? Word on the street is that John is trying his best to get his wife Kelly Preston the role of Sue Ellen Ewing (originally given to Jennifer Lopez). Can these two mild manner cult members pull off playing the ruthless Texan oil heir and his alcoholic beauty queen wife?
