March 1, 2007, 7:03 a.m.All the guy said was he wishes a program he believes in could have had a chance to help her. Come on people, the woman needed help. Any help is better than no help. Try to get past a persons personal beliefs. The woman had no friends. Would you critisize the rope that is thrown to a drowning person?

March 1, 2007, 8:21 a.m.If you have ever caught John Travolta on Oprah you would know he really seems to care and believe in what he shares. So I bet he does think about her and wish he had been able to reach her.
I just keep thinking about her son and his short life. I know she was young too but he never even had a chance to live. This is a tragic family ... and no wonder with Virgie as the loving Grandma ... Apples never fall far from the trees.

March 1, 2007, 10:04 a.m.What stopped john from picking up the phone and calling her all this time. It is funny how once she is dead there is so much "coulda, woulda, shoulda" but she was only on TV for over 3 years. Why now he coulda...I am sure, base on Ms. nicole's personality she would have loved to hear from him. Her drug problem was made public to millions at her last award show.
I was not a fan of her, just a person who believes many people "could have" stopped her if they wanted to take the time.

March 1, 2007, 10:35 a.m.You can't help someone that doesn't want help!! She was already in a downward spiral from the drug use...her son's death made it worse. Media didn't help either. If people would stop making icons out of actors and actresses, everyone would be a lot better off, I'm thinking. They aren't the "end all, be all" on this planet. Though some think they are.

March 1, 2007, 10:47 a.m.They would have liked her money.
Scientology is a joke. Never follow a religion made up by a guy who dressed like the Skipper on Gilligan's Island.

March 1, 2007, 10:52 a.m.travolta and cruise are shills for a pseudo-religion that is nothing more than a financial scam.
i had a close friend with mental health problems who joined years ago. in less than a year scientology had bankrupted her family and had acquired the deed to the family home. my friend fell deeper into mental illness.
i remember visiting her at an apartment she shared with other scientologists. the place was a pig stye, she was required to work 16 - 20 hours a day without recompense and her "treatment" was nothing less than verbal & emotional abuse.
scientology is just as bad as the jim jones or waco whacko cults.

March 1, 2007, 10:53 a.m.I think that the more these actors spend around a camera must have some sorta radiation deterioration in their brains. Maybe it takes the stupidest of people to become popular actors, but then why give these morons any money and let them promote their insanity? 1 plus 2 plus 1=121, eureka I'm a scientologist moron!

March 1, 2007, 10:59 a.m.Every time I read the "COMMENTS" I'm amazed at how little value is put on human life. Most seem to place themselves on some personal pedastal that only they can see, making themselves somehow better then the person being discussed. Travolta is an awesome person with a kind heart, yet he's bashed for his spiritual beliefs. He flew his plane in a humanitarian effort to deliver medicines to victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. That type of thing gets forgotten.
Have any of YOU reached out to someone in need lately?
Does anyone look for the good in people anymore? Or do you (as my Dad used to say) just enjoy blowing other's candles out to make yours look brighter?
I'm sure I'll get slammed and y'all will be real defensive..But what you think of me is none of my business.
What I think of myself matters and the lives I touch matter.
Peace,
Christy

March 1, 2007, 11:13 a.m.Here's the thing about the John Travolta's and Tom Cruise's of the world: when you boast about your religious beliefs, and try to convert everyone you know, your religion tends to appear "skin-deep". More like, you're only religious so that people can hear you say "I am religious". Spirituality is personal, humble, quiet and kind. ANYONE who speaks out about their beliefs, and tries to convert others, abandons all faith they ever claimed to have had. If you are SO secure in your beliefs, then you will not need the validation of anyone else's conversion. John Travolta is cracked out.

March 1, 2007, 11:20 a.m.Someone tell me the difference between this cult and that of any other religion? People bash the scientologists, but all religions are just as preposterous as this one.

March 1, 2007, 12:28 p.m.Weak minded people (practically everyone, in one way or another) can be convinced of practically anything. People espousing any form of organized religion take advantage of this to bilk people of their time and-or money. Scientology is not really different - it's just on the low end of the scale. Studies indicate that people who attempt to kick a drug habit on their own have the SAME success rate as those who go to a 12 step program or professional counselor. Which means, the desire (or need, if you will) to quit any particular behavior MUST come from within or it is unlikely to work out. Smacking a person on the head with a bible to make them give up drugs won't work any better than hooking them up to some silly machine with a needle telling them their 'chi' is out of balance. Or whatever that Scientology crap is supposed to indicate.

March 1, 2007, 12:34 p.m.Enough already about this woman who self destructed at her own hand..There are so many other people that have really done some good in this world that do not get any recognition. Lets let this woman and her son, Rest in Peace ...

March 1, 2007, 1:25 p.m.Holy Cow John what are you smokin? The only thing that could have saved Anna Nicole is if she had not allow everyone and everything to control her life. Better more well thought out choices on her part and she might be alive today.

March 1, 2007, 1:36 p.m.My opinion of this is that these people like John Travolta are using this opportunity to get their names in the spotlight. He has a movie that is due to open soon and what better way to get your name on the front page than to make some assanine comment about a non - event regarding a very controversial and extreme treatment for drug use and his idiotic philosophy based on a science fiction novel that claims aliens in spacecrafts landed on earth some fifty million years ago. If he truly cared, he would be visit her and ask if he could help her and make sure everything was okay before she died. He is just a media ****** and a bad actor with bad teeth as well. John, why don't you go back to playing Vinnie Barbarino because that is all you are good portraying. And who cares if you can fly a Boeing 707 aircraft.

March 1, 2007, 1:44 p.m.Why do we even worry about someone who's been dead for three weeks? If John Travolta is really interested SAVING people, why not try his hand with the bald Brittany?
Course, if he's only interested in SHAVING people, Brittany is already too far gone.

March 1, 2007, 1:48 p.m.I can't take seriously a religion started by L. Ron Hubbard on a bet with...who's that other science fiction writer? I think the guy who wrote Dune. Or Ray Bradbury. I disremember. Doesn't matter. Scientology was started on a bet. It's a cult. I wish John Travolta and Tom Cruise would've kept their mouths shut about their religion. Can't see their movies anymore bec I can't get past their idiotic remarks re Scientology to focus on their performances. Travolta may be an excellent pilot (he crash landed in DC once, skillfully handled the plane, the weather went bad and the engines failed and the odds were against him landing it safelly, and it wasn't publicized that the pilot was him), but he's so stupid sounding when he talks about his 'religion.'
