Celebrity Justice
Travolta's Lawyer Steals Line from Jack Nicholson

John Travolta's lawyer just dropped a huge bombshell in open court -- dude just spit out a movie quote from "A Few Good Men."

It all went down after the people accused of extorting Travolta tried to turn the tables -- claiming Travolta's lawyer was the person who actually hatched the extortion plot.

But Travolta's lawyer, Michael McDermott, was furious -- and fired back, "You can't handle the truth! You can't handle the truth!"

The lawyer for the alleged extortionists replied, "You've watched 'A Few Good Men,' huh?"

The drama continues...

Oh shut up! Yeah, that's what Travolta did, left his son, whom he loved more than life itself to die because he's some "voodoo whack job". I think YOUR the whack job. I'm so sick of hearing this anti-scientology crap & it's NOT because I'm a proponent of the sect, it's because I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN ANY COUNTRY WHERE ANYBODY LIKE YOU TELLS ME WHAT RELIGION I CAN PRACTICE! We have the right to 'religious freedom' in this country, hellllooooo! So, SHUT UP!

11. Well you better get used to the "anti-$cientology crap" because it isn't going away. It isn't even a religion, it's a big fat global scam from the mind of a deluded fraudster who cloaked his quackery in religion for the tax breaks.

Check out the recent series from the St. Petersburg Times online or the TIME magazine piece "The Cult of Greed and Power" for a look at what this "religion" is all about.

How well does Hubbard's quackery work? Google "Lisa McPherson"

Suggesting an autistic child be treated with saunas. That's $cientology folks.

13. Church's spies+ law firm+Prvt Eye/mafia dirty tricks never change, players change, but the game remains the same. They set you up, cast a wide net around your life, and close the trap . The Prvt Eye's win, Law Firm wins, and the celeb and defendants lose. Church gains more control over celeb. All celebs know it's slippery at the top, the problem with intrigue is, you never know who's really playing you until the game ends. NEVER accept promise of cash or monies no matter how enticing, it could be your ruin. the Church is the enforcers/spies for the Establishment.

14. It is rather ironic that the Travolta attorney chose to utter that particular phrase. Travolta has failed to acknowledge Jetts autism throughout his lifetime. When Joey Travolta produced a documentary on autism and proclaimed nephew Jett symptomatic of same, John rewarded him with a period of estrangement that lasted until Jetts death. Inasmuch as scientologists don't recognize the condition; is it a coincidence that Jetts 'minders' were not medical professionals? Wouldn't one insure that as a minimum requirement for persons who are to care for someone who regularly suffers such frequent seizures? This whole episode is so very unsettling. While I can feel for the loss...I still question whether Jetts death could have been averted. I'm sure this has to weigh heavily on their minds as well.
